free webinar – video audio meeting

Mark Paddock asked:




Once you have decided on the market and researched it thoroughly, hopefully you will have an idea for an information product you feel confident in. Now we need to create the product.

There is a multitude of different media formats to deliver you product. Here are the most popular examples though the are many more:

E-book
Report
White Paper
E -Course/ lessons
Video Course
Webinar
Teleseminar
Audio MP3
Continuity Programme
Create Your Information Product Quickly

For your first information product keep it simple so you can get started quickly. I would recommend a short 20-50 page report, with the audio Mp3 of the report to go along with it (most people would rather listen to the audio and follow the report than just read the report).

Hear is a quick and easy way of creating an info product. Lets stay with the sales example from the previous post as I’m sure its relevant to lot of you out there who have experience in sales. Prepare a script for a presentation style lecture on your chosen subject lets say “Building a customer rapport quickly”. Make it last for about an hour and break it down into a number of sections ( I’ll explain why soon). Create a video seminar in which you present the information (you can even just use your webcam if you like. There is plenty of free trial software out there to help you with this part. Its as easy as doing a Google search to find). Record it and there you have it, your first information product.

If you don’t feel comfortable doing a video presentation simply do an audio one. The software I use for this is called “Stepvoice Recorder” and the sound editing software I use is called “WavePad Sound Editor”. Both are available with free 30 day trials so there is no need to even cough up the money to buy the software.

“What if the product I want to create for my niche has already been created by someone else?”

I hear you cry! Then there are 4 things you can do:

You could try to acquire the “Resale Rights” of the product. If the product has been around for a while and its creator/author has stopped promoting it maybe possible for you to buy the rights to it and sell it.

You could do a “Joint Venture” with the creator/author. This means you and the author collaborate to come up with a “New Improved” or revised version of the product and split the proceeds.

Find out if there is an “Affiliate Program” associated with the product that you can take part in( we will cover this in more detail letter on in the post series). Becoming an affiliate of a product means to sell someone else’s product and take a commission. Its very detailed and you could be here for days reading about it if I wrote everything there is!

You could break down the niche again to find the “niche within the niche” For example you’re an expert on selling to corporations what about just concentrating on sales presentations or building your customer rapport or body language and physical buying signals. You can break it down again and concentrate on sales presentations for software products or lingerie or whatever it is you have the knowledge on.

Then you must break down the niche again to find the “niche within the niche” For example you’re an expert on selling to corporations what about just concentrating on sales presentations or building your customer rapport or body language and physical buying signals. You can break it down again and concentrate on sales presentations for software products or lingerie or whatever it is you have the knowledge on.

Increase the value of your product

To increase the value of your product why not include the script you have written as a “Free Bonus” PDF download so people can follow your presentation with it. Why not split up the seminar into its sections so it becomes an Course of seminars and produce a workbook to coincide with it and provide a pod cast Mp3 as a “Free Bonus”. you can even post snippets of the video on Youtube as part of your marketing strategy (but we will go into more detail with that later in the post series)

If you really want to start adding value you could have a physical work book bound to accompany your course, record the course onto CD format and send these out to your customers. Then they’ll have a tangible product which gives them greater perceived value. The key here is really to make your offer massively, overwhelmingly valuable!

You must include free bonuses, unannounced bonuses, bonus podcasts, bonus free membership to your site where they get discounted future products etc.

There you have it your first information product created for a starving market.

Thanks for reading.

Following in the lead of major corporations and organizations which have utilized ground-breaking technologies to bring the idea of a video conference to life, thousands of small businesses are now searching for cost-effective ways to do the same thing. For the large corporation, video conference technology allows enormous savings on travel costs, and it also makes employees more efficient. The possibilities for corporate communication uses are nearly endless, all the way from training sessions to boardroom strategy meetings, bringing employees and management teams together in a way that was previously simply impossible.

For the small business, video conference technology can be no less powerful. Some may even argue that the cost savings are more important to a small business, where a difference of thousands may mean staying in business or going out of business during a tough economic time such as the last couple years. Video conferences for small businesses can allow meetings with suppliers and clients, sometimes at long distances, without ever leaving the office and wasting valuable productivity time on travel (not to mention costs). The best thing about video conferencing for the small business is that it can be done for free. The process is relatively simple, but there are a few main steps to follow.

First, identify a service that you want to use in order to set up the video conference. One of the most popular is Skype, because of its easy-to-use interface and international availability. The best part is, it’s completely free! This is a major consideration, after all, for a small business. You’ll need to check out the service to see what their requirements are in terms of computer technology. You’ll need a webcam, and most calls go better if there is some type of microphone available as well. A high-speed Internet connection is vital, as well, and the faster, the better. Slower connections may have a tendency to disrupt the conversation easily, often referred to by users as being “kicked off” the conversation. This is quite irritating! You’ll also have to download the service’s software and sometimes make a user account, as well.

Next, set up an appointment time with your contact. You then use the service’s software to actually place the call and have the video conference. It’s wise to make a practice run, perhaps with a friend or family member who also uses the service, so that you can learn where to place your webcam, how loudly to speak, and other important details. A video conference should be no less professional than a real meeting or conference would be!

Video streaming is a popular means of providing both audio and video for clients or affiliates. It is possible to set a specific time when the video presentation is available and use it as a training tool.

Essentially you would create a live presentation for customers or affiliates that could be downloaded at a certain time so there would be a larger number of individuals logged into the video stream at the same time. You could set this up as a member only video webinar or make it available by invitation only with password-protected acceptance to the conference.

A chat room can be set up to take questions from those watching the webinar. This can provide a connection that may not be practical if you had to rely on more sophisticated video conferencing. If you do choose to use this approach you may want to save the presentation as a podcast that could be used at a later date for either new clients or new affiliates.

The development of quality webinars can provide a significant draw to your website. Most individuals are looking at furthering their education in fields that hold personal or professional interest. If you can provide a fee-based or members-only webinar you are likely to see increased traffic to your site and an increased potential for list building opportunities.

There are so many tools available to netrepreneurs, yet is seems the advances in technology may be frightening to those who may understand business, but are intimidated by the technical aspect of moving their experience to the worldwide web.

Freelance video, audio and content professionals can aid you in the development and execution of quality video streaming for your website.

The use of video streaming can provide a sense of professionalism that may be lacking in other online presentations.

The addition of audio provides a great personal connection to your customers, but the addition of video streaming ads an element to the process that shouldn’t be minimized. Most people want to know whom they are dealing with and if they can see and hear you they may feel better capable of assigning a level of trust with you and your online business.

With the growth of computer hard drive space and processing speeds video is becoming a highly desired standard for online presentations. The costs associated with video streaming may be less than you imagine. Maybe it’s time to investigate the possibilities.

When considering conferencing options it is important to know what main areas are available. Audio web video conferencing are the primary options, each with their own highpoints and drawbacks. In most cases a company can easily determine which conferencing option they will primarily use and then from there can look for conferencing services that is most affordable.

Audio Conferencing

Audio conferencing is the most basic conference service available. Audio conferencing is a very simple set up requiring only a telephone and a toll free number. Some of the benefits with choosing a strictly audio conferencing service is that is the cheapest of the conferencing services. Pricing is based on a flat rate and depending on the service provider, some extras are included free with the basic package. Some of the drawbacks with audio conferencing are due to its relatively basic set up; the options may not completely meet the needs of a business. For larger audio conferences it will not be possible for everyone to provide verbal feedback. Out of the three services, audio web video conferencing, audio is the most basic.

Web Conferencing

If audio is too basic for a company’s needs, web conferencing may be a more acceptable solution. The level of involvement in a web conference can range from viewing simple text via a central server, or even with the addition of audio provider real time voice as well. Web conferencing is a little more costly depending on how much interaction the software allows. Also with web conferencing every participant will need to be online, which means everyone would need a computer and access to the Internet. If the conference is audio web video conferencing, it will have to be a high-speed connection. While web conferencing is usually more expensive, the fact that infinite amounts of data can be transferred and immediately reviewed easily out-weighs that.

Video Conferencing

Occasionally a company will decide to roll up audio web video conferencing all into one package. Most commonly this service is referred to as simply video conferencing. Because video conferencing usually combines audio web and video utilizing an online connection, it can most accurately replicate the feel of being in the same room with someone. Video conferencing is of course one of the most expensive options, but with a little planning doesn’t have to be out of range.

Either way you go there are tons of audio web video conferencing options that can meet your needs and budget requirements.

Audio conferencing allows a person to conduct a business in real time at minimum cost. It is one of the best and most cost effective means of communication and that’s at a time when the travel expenses are soaring and the business world is becoming more competitive, giving rise to immense time constraints.

Communication technology has helped a people to be omnipresent and bridge the distance. Conferencing allows multiple users to stay connected from various places. It can be of many types. Audio conference happens to be one of the most affordable one in this domain. It lets a person to conduct meetings and business from their own familiar turf, free from the daunting pressures of being at a new place and hazards of travel.

Previously, only multi-national companies were able to afford conferencing facilities, but with the advent of the internet, conference calling can be availed by almost anyone. For any purpose, tele or video conferencing can be used, be it business, special occasions or for staying in touch with friends. There are companies which offer conferencing services to people through the internet, at minimum cost and sometimes even free. But the quality of free audio conferences are generally of low quality. As there are numerous online audio conferencing service providers, the competitively between them is enormous. That’s why every company works hard to give the best possible service.

Here are a few points that one might take into consideration before selecting an audio conferencing service:

Number of callers: Select a conference calling service that allows you to have access and talk to large numbers of people. Most conference call providers would be able to support at least 50 callers at-a-time, with a good communication and voice quality. For conducting a training session or talking to buyers for a business, one would require a service that would be able to accommodate huge numbers of people.

Free service: There are many audio conference service providers in the conferencing market who offer free service. Before getting started with such a company, one should assess the time needed for the conferencing. Most free service providers offer conferencing services that span over an hour. But if your requirement is for few hours then search for a free conferencing service or a service that would charge you very little money.

Assistance by the operator: As a customer you can decide on the extent of involvement that you wish to have from the operator. There are multiple options offered by the operator for connecting and conducting conference calls. There are also options of having fully automated conference services where the participants are provided with a pass code. They can call a particular number and then enter code for immediate connectivity.

Billing: Most online conference services give a sample invoice, which would give you a better idea of their billing system. Since one of the main reasons for choosing this service is to have low-cost multiple-connectivity, it is imperative that one checks the billing methods of the company, mainly in case of international conferencing.

To avail the best, it is important that you conduct a good research on the conference calling service providers and familiarize yourself with the audio conference technology.
