Webinars are also perfect for sparking conversations, increasing your sales, building trust, and even growing your email list. I know – it almost sounds too good to be true! But believe me, the secret success of webinars is backed by real data from my business and from thousands of my students who have created digital courses and sold them through webinars. So, today, I’m lifting the curtain on preparing and perfecting your webinar! In this episode, I cover: 9:54: Tips for understanding your ideal customer avatars (ICAs) 13:38: My webinar promise from my previous launch of Digital Course Academy16:20: A step-by-step guide for structuring your webinar 22:21: How to craft exciting and fast-paced slides 27:35: Advice for an efficient Q&A session 31:59: Transforming your webinars from one-time events to lasting resources 40:22: 3 tasks and action items to give to a VA when preparing for a webinar 42:41: What is your pre-webinar ritual?
