Teleseminars are a great way to make some quick cash, or
give one of your current offerings a boost in sales. Of
course, in order for that to happen, you need to fill them!
Here are 6 ways to fill your teleseminars, each and every
time you hold them, even if it's on the same topic.
1. Your list
The best place from which to fill your teleseminars is your
own email list of potential clients and customers.
And just a tip here: People buy when it's the right time
for them, so just because you've offered a teleseminar
before doesn't mean that you can't offer it again - as your
list grows, you'll have a constant flow of new people to
offer it to.
2. Use teleseminar listing services
Use whatever listing services are available to you to
promote your teleseminars. This is something you can have
your virtual assistant do for you as part of your standard
marketing procedures for your teleseminars.
Here are some of the ones that are the most effective at
filling classes for teleseminars:
a. teleclass.com An offshoot of Coachville, this listing
service is mainly focused on the
coaches/consultants/personal development market. It's $39
to list a single class (with one or two sessions) and you
must be a certified teleclass leader to do so.
b. seminarannouncer.com This listing service hosts a mix of
both personal and professional offerings. It's free to list
a free class. If you want to list a paid class, they will
take a small percentage of the fee.
c. niche announcement services Google for announcement
services specific to your niche to find other locations
where you can list your teleseminar.
d. solo-e.com Directly targeted at solo professionals, your
teleseminar must be of value to that market. As a highly
targeted listing service, if you are servicing solo
professionals, I highly recommend this service (and please
tell Terri Z I sent you :)).
e. planetteleclass.com Based on Coachville's model at
teleclass.com, this listing service is free. You can have a
featured listing (which means you can have a longer
description of your class, a photo, and some other features
added) for a small fee.
f. cculearning.com Conference call University hosts this
listing service, which has some heavy-hitters in the online
world listing their teleseminars, and it's free.
3. Joint venture with a person of note
To implement this strategy, you'll want to find someone who
already has a following in your niche and who has a
specialty that complements your niche, and offer to
interview them.
You'll do all the work (set up the bridge line and
recording, write the interview questions, etc.) and they
get free exposure. You'll want to ask them to promote the
teleseminar to their list and networks as well, which will
help you fill it.
Once the teleseminar is over, they can do whatever they
want with their copy of the recording. For example, they
can use it as another lead-generating tool or create a paid
product from it.
4. Offer teleseminars through associations, organizations,
and agencies for free
Contact those groups that are comprised of your target
market and offer to hold a free teleseminar as a valuable
benefit for their members. They help you fill it by
promoting it as one of their member benefits. This is a
great win-win strategy to use.
5. Post to discussion lists within your niche, with
permission and on the appropriate day
Seek out those forums made up of your target market, join,
listen in to the conversation and add valuable comments
when you can. If the forum allows a short signature line
for your posts, point people to your teleseminar there. And
if the forum invites promotions on a certain day, take
advantage of that by advertising your teleseminar.
6. Google Adwords - for fresh traffic
Running a Google Adwords campaign will bring fresh traffic
to your teleseminars. Create a single page website where
the only choice your visitor has is to sign up for your
teleseminar, and point your Google ad to that page. This is
a very effective way to fill teleseminars.
Now you have 6 very effective ways to fill your
teleseminar. Put them into action for each class you hold,
and you'll increase the number of registrants for sure.
