What is a Webinar?
A webinar is an online event that is hosted by an organization/company and broadcast to a select group of individuals through their computers via the Internet.
A webinar is sometimes also referred to as a “webcast”, “online event” or “web seminar”.
A webinar allows a speaker from the hosting organization/company to share PowerPoint presentations, videos, web pages or other multimedia content with audiences that can be located anywhere.
Webinars typically have audio and visual components.
The visual component of a webinar is shared through a web conferencing tool or Internet browser.
The audio portion of a webinar is usually broadcast through the audience’s computers (through speakers and media players) or through the telephone.
A webinar also allows the hosting organization/company to interact with an audience.
The audience can ask the speaker or moderator (who is leading the webinar) questions in real-time through an instant messaging tool or e-mail.
What is the purpose of a webinar?
From internal training to capturing leads, marketers from industries across the board use webinars for all kinds of purposes.
No matter what industry you are in, there are varied, multiple ways, styles in which you may utilize a webinar.
What features can a webinar have?
The purpose of a webinar is up to the host, but the options to choose from are on a wide spectrum.
This means that the tools you use to launch your webinar have to be flexible enough to provide you with features that will keep your audience engaged, no matter the topic.

Below are some of the features that most webinar tools provide. Learn how you can take advantage of them while hosting your own webinar.
- Text chat
Engaging an audience big or small can be done in a few different ways, but one of the simplest methods is by enabling text chat.
Doing this allows your audience to ask questions related or answer questions that you pose.
Without being in the same room, it is difficult to grab a presenter’s attention with a question or an answer, but text chat in webinar tools makes it possible.
Additionally, in a manner resembling your question being addressed in a traditional meeting, answering questions your audience poses builds trust, authority.
- Slide decks
Making an engaging webinar can be difficult.
If your webinar is educational in one way or another, consider having a slide deck handy to present to your audience as you talk through it.
Having a slide deck also allows you to provide a clear agenda for your viewers, encourage engagement, and give the audience something to walk away with.
-
Recording
Traditionally, webinars run live so that the audience can ask the presenter questions and get answers in real-time.
Although watching a pre-recorded webinar becomes less engaging, the information being presented or discussed can be viewed by those who missed the live version, can be referred to later by your audience, or recorded with a guest who is unable to make the scheduled time.
They can also be held more than once if you have an evergreen topic.
-
Screen sharing
If your topic requires a demonstration, screen sharing features in webinar tools will come in handy.
Viewers will be able to see exactly what actions you’re taking on your screen and follow along on their own if needed.
Screen sharing can be useful beyond demos, too.
If you are sharing a video or presentation in a non-traditional way, screen sharing is a way to show your audience what you are seeing.
Additionally, if you are demonstrating more than one process or using more than one tool or file, screen sharing is often more effective than screenshots for viewers.
-
Whiteboard
If you are explaining a complex topic and want to do it live, using a whiteboard feature enables you and other hosts to take notes, illustrate ideas with drawings, or draw arrows to demonstrate a process.
Just like you would be able to do in a classroom, the whiteboard feature that some webinar software provides allows your audience to feel like they are right there with you and gives them a clearer idea of your subject.
-
Surveys and polls
Having your audience answer a question in text chat can become a little chaotic, especially when your audience is on the larger end of the scale.
Providing polls during your webinar allows you to give set options for your audience to choose, and it keeps your results organized in one place.
Polls and surveys give your audience an easy way to engage with your presentation and questions in a quick and orderly manner.
Tips for creating an effective webinar
The benefits of webinars can be taken advantage of and the challenges that arise can be resolved, but no matter how well you prepare, your success is never guaranteed.
If you are broadcasting a webinar for the first time or have not seen the results you would like before, heed these tips.
Know your purpose
Webinars are broadcasted for many different reasons, depending on the goals of the business hosting the webinar.
One of the first things to do when planning a webinar is to identify those goals, and then set KPIs so that you and your team can determine how successful your webinar was when it is over.
Benefits of Webinars in Singapore
Due to the Coronavirus situation, some of your teams across national borders may not be able to travel for a regional event in certain locations.
Participants can join from home or from work – any location in which they may access the internet.
Content can be digested effectively in short sessions.
No additional software or programs to download, participants will be given a unique, private link to join webinar.
Webinars are usually run in-house – meaning only training participants get access.
12 Secrets on How to Transform Your Webinars from Good to GREAT
Customers gravitate towards businesses that offer a personalised experience, whether when shopping or scrolling through the website. Communication is key to the success of any online and offline business. Thanks to advancements in technology, there is no shortage of ways to promote products and services.
Already, we have discussed what webinars are and the potential they have to convert regular website visitors who are yet to decide on whether to purchase a product into buying customers. As evident from the many regular webinars that the big brands hold, it is no secret that webinars have a considerable lead generation potential.
Like a live video and other digital marketing content types, the webinars need to be well structured and presented to the audience at the right time. Here are 12 hidden secrets on how to transform your webinars from Good to GREAT.
1. Use Promotions to Interact with the audience Before the Big Day
One unique characteristic of webinars is that you will not achieve the expected results if the target audience does not show up. Can you imagine holding a webinar alone or with just a few prospects?
Avoid that by interacting with the audience before the big day to get as many attendees as possible. Use Twitter and other social media platforms such as Facebook to remind them of the event and time. You can also go the extra mile to write a blog to promote it and discuss the topics you intend to discuss.
Request the audience to submit questions that they would you to answer during the webinar beforehand. Social media influencers whose followers are within your target customers bracket can also popularise the event.
2. Create a Visually Appealing Slide Deck
Concentration is vital when holding a webinar. You can use visuals and other forms of exciting content to keep the audience interested in what you will be discussing. Still, you can retain their attention more by creating a visually appealing slide deck.
The slides should have high-quality images that are related to the topics you will be discussing. Copy can also be incorporated in some of the slides to break the norm, but make sure that the text is not in plain black and white. Use the same colour palette in the slides to make the copy aesthetically appealing.
If you compare the two slides above, which one is likely to grasp the attention of the audience? Of course, the right slide is more appealing and capable of effectively conveying the intended message to the target audience.
3. Create a Dedicated Hashtag for the webinar
Hashtags have a potent ability to supercharge general posts that would ordinarily get little or no attention on Twitter and Instagram. Create a dedicated hashtag for your event and use it extensively in the blog posts and social media posts. You can also comment on posts related to the topics to increase its chances of going viral.
The more you use the hashtag on the platforms, the more people will notice it and start looking for more information. Desist the urge to create more than three hashtags that could end up working against the main goal -to convince as many people to attend the webinar as possible.
During the webinar, use the same hashtags to answer questions from the audience and get new, frequently asked questions from them.
The hashtags don’t become useless after the webinar; continue using them to follow up on any questions that you may have missed out on during the live event. Prospects who missed the event can also use them to get answers that you offered and request additional information. Concisely, it will help keep the fire burning and enhance your brand awareness efforts long after the webinar is over.
4. Invite One or More Experts to Present on the Topic
Your audience will get bored if you are the only one who will be talking throughout the webinar. Avoid losing concentration by inviting an expert to talk on the same topic or something related to the main plan.
The expert should be conversant with the topic, personable, outgoing, energetic, and a good communicator. If you decide to host more than one speaker, create a timetable so that they playoff each other to make the webinar an interactive discussion rather than different monologues.
If possible, choose leaders who have a significant following on social media or is known to the audience to spur engagement. The audience will relate better with an expert they have interacted with before or read posts about online than someone they have never heard about before.
LinkedIn can help you scout for the best industry leaders, but you should not limit yourself to it. Consult widely and make use of the internet to do your research. You could form a working relationship with the leaders that will help you market your brand and proof to the world that you are an authority in the industry. Their recommendations will come in handy in the competitive business landscape.
