• Brings Existing Content to Life:
  Use existing content like a whitepaper or a case study to help create a webinar. Use photos and diagrams to help bring the content to life on screen.
• Explain in Real-Time:
  A webinar should feel like a virtual presentation. Speak clearly and take advantage of the opportunity to explain a concept as if you are talking in person. While there is the chance to make a mistake in a live webinar, an audience will be more likely to connect with a company listening to a real person speaking than reading a whitepaper.
• Answer Questions:
  Give the audience the chance to ask questions about the presentation. This is a chance to connect with potential customers. Explain anything they didn’t understand or give them more information on products they are interested in.
• Provide Learning Visuals:
  Don’t make a boring presentation! Use high-quality photos of the products or technologies the webinar is covering and make use of diagrams to help explain.
• Interested Leads:
  Create niche webinars to find out which customers are interesting in what technologies or products. This can become a specialized list of leads for promoting product releases to an interested audience.
