Have Fun and Make A Profit With Teleseminars

by Jeanette Cates

Do you attend teleseminars? I do. Anywhere from 4 to 6 per week, either as a host, a guest or an attendee. I’m willing to invest my time and money in them because I’ve developed some ways to profit from each one. So let me share a few techniques with you.

1. Read the sales letter or announcement for the teleseminar carefully. You want to make sure the content and the people speaking are a match for your interests. The only time I was ever disappointed was when my expectations were not met - and when I re-read the sales letter I found out what I expected was not explicitly mentioned.

2. Teleseminars are generally free of charge and complimentary by the host. It is ok to take advantage of them. Sure, you will have to deal with the sales pitch at the end of the seminar but that is far worth the content and insight you will receive in turn. Think about it, a five minute commercial and fifty-five minutes of helpful insight, you won’t find that on any television.

3. If they ask for questions before the teleseminar, send in a question. No matter how hard you have to think, come up with a good question. Many times the host is looking for good questions to get the discussion started, especially at the start of a call, so your question is more likely to be used on the air if you get it in early.

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 do you care? Because when people are attending a teleseminar, the only thing they have to go on is a name. And the only names they are hearing are the experts who are talking - and the experts who are asking questions. Through association, you are automatically counted as one of the experts. Do this on several calls and other attendees will begin to “recognize” you. That’s good for your reputation.

4. Testimonials can work wonders for you. It is important, whether you are asked to leave a testimonial or not that you do so and do it quickly, immediately after the event has ended. Why? Because after the event, the host is ready to go, in fact, is almost immediately putting up their follow-up site. If you get yours in right away, there is a good chance that it gets posted to the site and more exposure for you.

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.

So the next time you sign up for a teleseminar, look upon it as a marketing opportunity!
