FREE WEBINAR COURSE
eofire.com
Hello Fire Nation! Welcome to the Free Webinar Course, where I’ll be
showing you all the aspects and opportunities in the webinar world.
I’ll be starting with the fundamentals of what a webinar is and then
progress onto the benefits of webinars, covering how I generated
1.5million dollars on live webinars in 2014 - including all the mistakes and
failures I had. I’ll be talking about webinar platforms, live vs recorded
webinars, the simple 8 step webinar process that I have perfected, as
well as talking about ‘if all of this is true, then exactly why isn’t everybody
and their mother doing it!?’
Every step is packed with value and knowledge that will help you, not
only with webinars, but on your entrepreneurial journey as a whole.
So I hope you enjoy, and prepare to IGNITE!

Introduction

Typically they are a presentation utilising Powerpoint or Keynote
which you talk over (most webinar software supports this), or they
may be in a talking head style, where you point the camera at
yourself and talk to your audience.
I actually prefer a combination of both: the presentation style is
ideal for getting across great content, but a talking head is good for
making a connection with your audience. So feel free to swap
between them during your webinar.
In fact there are no written rules for how webinars are run so do
what works for you and your audience. You can be the host, and
present the whole webinar yourself, or you may get guest
presenters in who you introduce and then interview Q&A style, or
let them present a keynote presentation followed by questions.
Guest presenters are great for opening up your business to a new
audience, but remember to also use webinars to let your audience
make a personal connection with you too.
In a nutshell, a webinar is a seminar conducted over the internet, either live or recorded, typically presenting a topic for learning. These are usually free, but it isn’t uncommon for them to be paid or as part
of a paid for community.
1. WHAT IS A WEBINAR?
eofire.com
CONFIDENCEIt’s simple. Webinars build your confidence. Did you know that
public speaking is the #1 phobia for human beings, even above
death? But here’s the thing... being confident translates into
success in all areas of your business. People want to buy from
confident people who are confident in their service. So here’s my
advice: if you want to be... do. You have to do it to improve, and
webinars give you that drive to really build your confidence. I used
to be just as scared about public speaking, but all the practice I get
from the number of live webinars I do (60 in 2014) really helps.
2. THE 4 BENEFITS OF WEBINARS
eofire.com andrewandpete.com
THE 4 BENEFITS OF WEBINARS
eofire.com
GENERATE SALESThis is a necessity of a viable business right? So don’t shy away
from using webinars to generate sales, because they are perfect
for it. Webinars are ‘events’ and you can deliver value at these
events and show your audience the next logical step. You can
even answer questions in real time to get rid of any doubts and
show your audience your product/service can really help them.
Webinars also provide scarcity and momentum, as you are
showing people what you can provide throughout the
presentation for FREE, building this momentum. As webinars are
events, there’s social proof, people can see others are getting
involved and want to be part of it too. The scarcity comes when
you can make time limit offers to your audience live during the
webinar.
andrewandpete.com
THE 4 BENEFITS OF WEBINARS
eofire.com andrewandpete.com
AUTHORITY AND CREDIBILITY.Another great benefit of webinars is that your authority and
credibility goes through the roof. Remember perception is reality.
When I was interviewing marketing experts like Seth Godin and
Gary Vaynerchuk, nobody knew who I was, but people presumed
I had authority because these people were taking their time to
speak to me. So you learn from these people and give back to
your audience the value and soon, reality becomes reality!
EMAIL LISTLast but definitely not least - webinars help build your email list. In
a time where it is becoming harder and more expensive to reach
your audience via social media, it’s extremely important to
increase your email list, as these are your contacts, that you own,
and who you can reach out to. People have to give their email
address to sign up for webinars and in 2014 I collected 18,000
email addresses this way.
3. HOW I GENERATED $1.5MILLION IN 2014 ON WEBINARS
eofire.com
In 2014 alone, I generated $1.5million in revenue from webinars alone. I’m not going to say this was easy, however there are 4
key areas I attribute to the success...
The webinar in this example is my weekly ‘Podcasters Paradise’ webinar.
andrewandpete.com
HOW I GENERATED $1.5MILLION IN 2014 ON WEBINARS
eofire.com
1. CONSISTENCYI delivered Podcasters Paradise Webinars every single Wednesday
throughout 2014. This was great for 2 reasons. Number 1 -
Wednesday became the hub. Everybody knew to expect a webinar
then and if they missed one for whatever reason they could always
jump on the next one. Number 2 - being consistent and having a
set day meant it was super easy for word to get out and for people
to tell others when the next one was. If people KNOW the next one
is on Wednesday they can easily tell other people how and WHEN
to get involved. These weekly podcasts were attracting 100-500
listeners to each one.
2. VALUE PACKEDKnowledge bombs have to be dropped throughout the webinars.
You have to constantly give real value on every single webinar.
There is no way to get around this. For me the live training, Q&As,
and pre and post chat was invaluable. Also you must give a great
gift in every webinar, as this is where the law of reciprocity comes
into play. Again, the gift has to be awesome and get them thinking
‘I can’t believe they are giving it to me for FREE’! Once you do that,
people feel not only extremely grateful but indebted to you.
andrewandpete.com
eofire.com
4. SCARCITYScarcity is incredibly valuable, so try to make an offer with some
form of time restraint on it. Now you must be careful as these
types of offers MUST be legit and come from a place of truth. With
my webinars I offer my service at a lower price because we want to
put the price up because the value is getting that much better. So I
can honestly say that if they buy today they are getting the best
price that won’t be offered again. Again going back to the benefits
of webinars - building up the momentum throughout and using
scarcity is the key to generating sales.
3. STRONG OFFERIn order to make money from your webinars you need an
EXTREMELY strong offer. You need to be offering something
awesome that you can easily explain and talk about in the webinar.
In my webinars I open up the kimono and show them exactly what
they are going to get, and you can do that too. Also, remember
earlier when we were talking about ‘Presentation vs Talking Head’
style. When I am ready to make the strong offer I always make sure
the camera is turned onto me, so I can make the offer ‘face to face.’

4. WEBINAR PLATFORMS
andrewandpete.com
Now you know exactly why webinars are so effective, it is time to get to grips with how to actually put one on.
There are many webinar platforms; some are better than others and they also have their strengths for either live or
recorded broadcast.
I’m going to run through some of the most popular choices now, and let you know my personal favourites from live and
recorded webinars.
eofire.com
WEBINAR PLATFORMS
andrewandpete.com
GoToWebinar: This is the dinosaur of systems! It’s still is a
very robust and usable platform, but a lot of people still only use it
because they don’t want to learn how to use another. A lot of top
internet marketers are used to it, know how to use it and they like
it. There are some benefits to this platform that others don’t have,
but their cons far outweigh their pros in my opinion. The biggest
con is that it costs $400 a month to have more than 100 people on
your webinars. And if you’re going to do a webinar you want more
than 100 viewers.
Webinar Jam: This is one of the newer platforms that is based
on Google Hangouts. For those who aren’t that advanced as an
internet marketer it is a great option.
Evergreen Business System: I know for a fact this one Is
used and loved by Amy Porterfield. It is a great automated webinar
system that a lot of people know, like and trust.
Stealth Seminar: This is the one Lewis Howes uses and is
another popular choice. On the site they have great tutorials on
how you can rock Stealth Seminar too.
eofire.com
WEBINAR PLATFORMS - TOP CHOICES
MY TOP CHOICE FOR LIVE WEBINARSGoogle Hangout: My personal favourite: Webinar On Fire
used Google Hangouts to do over 60 live webinars in 2014 alone as
it is by far the most cutting edge. Available for free, all you do is link
your Google Hangout Account with YouTube Live, and then either
paste the YouTube Live code into your ‘Lead Pages’ account or you
can sync it with your website. The number of people that can
watch your webinar is unlimited and it is completely free. It also
automatically records every single one of your webinars and drops
them into your YouTube channel once your accounts are synced.
MY TOP CHOICE FOR RECORDED WEBINARSEasyWebinar 3.0: Now for recorded and automated
webinars, Casey Zeman’s EasyWebinar 3.0 has to be the best in this
field. Zeman is in the process of launching 4.0 which is going to be
awesome, but 3.0 is still an amazing option for recorded and
automated webinars. A top quality product that I run all my
automated webinars through and I couldn’t be happier with it. On
the website there are some great tutorials and video testimonials:
my number one recommendation by far.

5. LIVE VS RECORDED WEBINARS
The pros and cons of live vs recorded webinars are
plentiful so let’s get started with the pros of live.
andrewandpete.com
eofire.com
THE PROS OF LIVE WEBINARS
andrewandpete.com
The number one pro has to be that live webinars create an EVENT. People will look forward to your webinar and get excited
by it. Also, having something at a set time and place gives people a
sense of accomplishment.
And mostly you can’t fake it. Live webinars have so much more
intimacy. They allow you as the presenter to answer people’s
questions up front and call out their names. So, be sure to state the
date and time, letting the audience know it is live.
A sense of community is a big part of webinars, and having them
live amplifies this. It gives people social proof that others have
turned up - letting them know they’ve made the right decision to
be there too.
Finally, coming back to that word again... live webinars can provide
TRUE scarcity. Just for those live attendees you can provide promo
codes and discounts making people want to be there so they don’t
miss out. Nothing beats it.
eofire.com
For those that would prefer recorded webinars there are plenty of
pros. Just because it isn’t live doesn’t mean it’s not an event. People
still look forward to it, and they get excited.
Recorded also allows you to leverage your time. Be up front that
your webinar is not live and that it is streaming, so it is there when
your audience wants it. Recorded allows them to be in control - to
fit it in around their schedule. Even though its not live it is still
taking down some of those barriers and getting those important
questions answered. As the presenter, take notes of what
questions keep popping up and be sure to answer them on your
recorded webinars.
THE PROS OF RECORDED WEBINARS
andrewandpete.com
eofire.com
THE CONS OF LIVE WEBINARS
Now let’s get into the cons. A big con of live is that it is YOUR time.
You can try and turn this around into a pro and tell your viewers
that you’re spending time with them because you know it’s worth
it. That is a good way to spin it, but in reality it is still time taken
away from doing other things.
Also with everything live, things can go wrong and you can’t just
pause and re-do it because it’s happened. From internet crashes to
people not being able to log in to natural human things like
needing water or slipping up can cause embarrassment because
it’s live. Or even things like dropping ‘F’ bombs or saying the wrong
thing also come into play, and is why webinars freak out a lot of
people.
Finally, people‘s lives and schedules are the main thing to deal
with. People might desperately want to make it but they can’t
always be there and that’s a major downfall of going live.
andrewandpete.com
eofire.com
A big con of recorded is that it takes away real-time engagement
with your audience. You can’t find out people’s specific questions,
give shout outs and find out more about your audience’s lives.
Connections and relationships can’t be built up just through
recorded webinars because the intimacy has gone - no matter how
hard you try to remove all those barriers, there will still be those
few unanswered questions. Not only can you not give your viewers
the answers they require straight away but it takes the fun out of
those unique questions.
Scarcity play doesn’t work either. You want to give people offers
they can’t refuse - for a limited time only - but with recorded
webinars those offers will probably never expire because you don’t
know when people are going to see them.
THE CONS OF RECORDED WEBINARS
andrewandpete.com
eofire.com
MY OVERALL RECOMMENDATION
My overall recommendation has to be LIVE LIVE LIVE. Not just
because I made over $1.5 million in revenue from live broadcasts
but because of all the pros mentioned. You know you’re not going
to be great the first time you do it but once you hit that broadcast
button you know it’s for real. It brings out confidence that you
never knew you had. It makes your presenting better, camera work
better and your writing skills better. Ideally, using both types is the
best option, but if I had to choose one and only one it would have
to be live all the way.

6. THE 8 STEP WEBINAR PROCESS
andrewandpete.com
The 8 step webinar process is something that I have perfected over quite some time. I have done quite a number of live and recorded webinars and it has taken a lot of tweaking and testing but it really is super simple. This formula has allowed me create over 60 webinars and in turn make over $1.5 million. The formula is very simple, so don’t try and complicate it. You have to get your voice, message and brand out to the world and then improve upon it. If you’re not embarrassed by your first attempts then you waited too long to get them out there!
Get your voice heard and then improve!
eofire.com
THE 8 STEP WEBINAR PROCESS
Step 1: The 8 step process starts with delivering valuable
content, consistently and for free. Consistently and free is
something everyone can handle but many get stuck on the term
‘valuable’. All it means is, provide the best content you are capable
of. Over time your valuable knowledge will increase and that’s
what it’s all about.
Step 2: Build your audience. If you do step one correctly then
this step is a natural progression. If you are delivering valuable
content every day your audience will stay and grow.
Step 3: Listen to your audience that you’ve gathered. It’s a skill
everyone should have and still many people struggle with it. Keep
in contact with them through email or social networks and keep a
track of what they want.
Step 4: Record the similar needs and pains of your audience and
give them the answers to the questions they ask.
Step 5: Create an OUTLINE for a product that provides the
SOLUTION to these problems. And I mean just provide the
OUTLINE. Don’t waste time creating an actual product yet.
Step 6: Drive Traffic to a LIVE webinar. You can hide behind your
recorded webinars if you like but you are never going to get good
if you rely on editing. You build a community and a relationship
with your audience that doesn’t come across in pre-records. To get
people to your live webinars, create a registration page on your
website or on something like ‘Lead Pages’ and use your email lists
and social media followers to spread the word - fully utilising the
audience you’ve already grown.
andrewandpete.com
eofire.com
THE 8 STEP WEBINAR PROCESS
That’s the 8 step process I know works - so this is the Webinar On
Fire way. I can’t stress enough how simple it is. It doesn’t have to
be complicated.
We just start with a Google Hangout, and while broadcasting take
the YouTube Live embed link and put it into our LeadPages
Template. The template is designed specially for this purpose and
comes with amazing chat features and buy now options.
Remember it is a completely free process if you already have Lead
Pages, but if not, it is still completely free as you can use your
Wordpress site. We also link our Google Hangouts to our YouTube
channel so once we’ve stopped recording, bam! It goes straight
into our YouTube channel. This process provides unlimited
number of attendees whereas some platforms cap the number of
viewers. It really is that simple and fast. Follow the 8 Step process
to provide your own quality webinars.
Step 7: The penultimate step is providing amazing value to your
audience in the webinar; you want them to take your teachings
and go one step further with it which goes directly into...
Step 8: Generate sales. Convert that amazing following you
have with that valuable knowledge you know you can provide.
Build the momentum throughout the webinar to get them over the
YES line, and keep them coming back for more.

You might be asking, or moreover you SHOULD
be asking, why isn’t everyone doing webinars?
We’ve shared the benefits and how simple,
effective and essentially free they are, so why isn’t
everybody doing it?
7. WHY ISN’T EVERYBODY DOING WEBINARS?
andrewandpete.com
eofire.com
WHY ISN’T EVERYBODY DOING WEBINARS?
The number one reason why people aren’t taking up the chance to do webinars is phobia. Public speaking is above death as the world’s number one phobia. People lack confidence in themselves and they don’t believe they have the ability or knowledge to
stand up and deliver the value they have.
andrewandpete.com
eofire.com
What about lack of audience; who will show up? You have to start
somewhere, so just launch that first webinar, publish your first
podcast or write your first blog and get going. Entrepreneur On
Fire had three attendees on our first webinar and last week we had
600 - so everyone has to have a starting point. How will you know
if you’re attracting the right attendees? The answer is don’t worry
about it. You be the magnet, put out the content and let people
come to you.
Essentially the Impostor Syndrome takes over, causing people to
back out of their full potential. The only way around this fear is to
throw yourself in the deep end.
Webinars are a form of public speaking and the best way to ease
yourself in. From the comfort of your own home you are providing
value without the fear of a crowd. When you start, accept that you
aren’t going to be as good as you can be, but know over time it will
build a confidence inside you that you never knew you had, and
you will get better.
One thing that is never going to go away is the Impostor
Syndrome. Embrace it, turn it into a positive. 99% of people let it
keep them down so be that 1% that takes advantage and make it
work for you.
WHY ISN’T EVERYBODY DOING WEBINARS?
andrewandpete.com
eofire.com
WHY ISN’T EVERYBODY DOING WEBINARS?
Probably the most important reason everyone isn’t all aboard the
webinar train is due to their lack of time. Time is always ticking but
it is your job to make the time.
Cut out unnecessary things in your day to create space.
Entrepreneurship is all about making sacrifices in the short term to
make the future better and this quote says it all...
andrewandpete.com
eofire.com
“Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your
life like most people won’t, so that you can spend
the rest of your life like most people can’t.”

Guys, there you have it! My advice to you is just go for it, you
have The 8 Step Webinar Process, now it is your turn to follow
in my steps and get your voice heard.
Thank you for your time... and get prepared to IGNITE!

“When I first arrived on Webinar On Fire I was extremely fearful. I can
do presentations to thousands of people but when it came to this the
fear took over. I embraced Webinar On Fire. John teaches everything
you need to know from point A to Z and everything inbetween. I run
webinar weekly workshops now and have had tremendous success. I
actually use the strategies John uses on Webinar On Fire. I remember
struggling so much at the beginning but John was always there to
answer any questions and guide me to where I am today. I know
Webinar On Fire would serve your business well.

”I love Webinar On fire, I used it for an established product and again
for a brand new product. On the established product launch I made
£50,000 ($79,000) and £20,000 ($31,500) on my brand new product
by just using what Webinar On Fire has taught me. Webinar On Fire
has changed my business within the space of a few months, and now
I know how to do it I am going to keep refining and tweaking what I
do. It really works!
Claire Mitchell: From The Girls Mean Business
What our amazing webinar community had to say:
Before I got involved with Webinar On Fire I was struggling. I had
done a few webinars and I knew I had to do them but I couldn’t get
people on seats and generate sales. But this course, especially the 8
step process, is amazingly simple. I was able to get people to the live
webinars but also get them to stay and buy. Thank you John for
putting it out there, it’s shifted and changed the dynamics of my
business for ever. It’s a winner, it’s the best.

”I teach live seminars on veterinary dentistry. I also have three
webinars between 5 to 8 hours in duration that are accredited
continued education for veterinarians. We have sold over those over
the past 18 months but we wanted to take it to the next level. I had
struggled with trying to integrate Google Hangouts and Lead Pages
making it all come together. With Webinar On Fire it’s step by step
showing you exactly how to do it. I hope everyone else can find as
much value as I did.
Brett Beckman: Veterinary Dentist & Webinar On Fire User
”For 35 years I have been an entrepreneur in the fields of advertising,

perfect job. If you know nothing about webinars they will take you
from a dead stand still to a thriving webinar business. On top of that
the team are really nice people and great to work with.
