Who Knew That Teleseminars Could Be Fun and Profitable

by Jeanette Cates

It is no secret that I love teleseminars. I go to several each week whether I’m in guest mode, host mode, or even just a listener, I love to be there. Why? Well, I have figured out that the investment I make with my money and time is worth it because I can turn myself a profit every time. Here are some of the techniques that I use:

1. Each teleseminar will be proceeded with an announcement or sales letter defining the time, content, and those that are guest speaking. Make sure you read these very carefully. The key here is to ensure that the speakers and content of the event are of interest to you. Make sure that you know exactly what to expect and understand the announcement.

2. Don’t be afraid to take advantage of the multitude of complimentary teleseminars being offered. Yes, each will end with a sales pitch. But I consider 55 minutes of great content worth the 5 minute commercial. Certainly can’t get that trade-off on TV!

3. I take full advantage of teleseminars that ask me to submit a question. There is good reason for this. First, it allows me to get answers to the questions I want to hear. Even if I have to think really hard, I submit a good question, which is what the host will want. The earlier you submit your questions, the more likely they are to be asked.

That means that if they use your question your name will be mentioned on the call. This is no cost publicity! Not only will the live audience hear your name, but everyone who listens to the replay will hear it, too. That can be years of PR.

Why should this matter to you? Remember, a teleseminar is not personal, names are the only thing any person in attendance has to go by. Therefore, for the most part they hear the names of the experts, such as the guests and hosts. However, if they hear your name, you are immediately thought of as an expert. The more you do this, the more people will get to know you and recognize the name immediately; this is a good reputation builder.

4. Even if the host does not ask you for a testimonial, you should make sure to give one anyway. In fact, it should be done the minute that the teleseminar ends, the next day is too late. After the teleseminar is finished, the host is rearing to go, and will likely be doing the follow up immediately. If you send the testimonial right away, you are likely to catch them in the middle of it, which then means your testimonial will go on their page almost instantly.

Make sure the testimonial is a good one, get specific. Sure they may have given you good information, but what about was good, what really stood out? Of course, do not forget that you need to include your personal information such as name, title, and website address, as this will be placed with your testimonial, more exposure.

5. Of course, your testimonial can be beneficial to you twice. If you are marketing the program thanks to the teleseminar offering an affiliate program or resale rights, then you can use the testimonial that you wrote right on your sales page. This gives you the opportunity to tell those you know about it and turn your own profit.

In other words, after reading this, now you can start to review teleseminars as an opportunity for marketing.
