WEBINARS FOR CONTENT MARKETING
Quick Start Guide
HAVE A PLAN
The first step in producing a successful webinar series is good planning!
Ask yourself these key ques/ons:
Who is my target audience?
What is my my goal?
What content does my audience value?
Don’t overdo the sales pitch: While sales may be a goal, using webinars as a hard sell will fall flat with audiences.
Provide useful content: Content that’s relevant to your audience will build your relationship, establish trust.
Choose presenters wisely: If you’re not an expert on the topic at hand, partner with someone who is.
GET TO THE POINT!
Boil it down for us quickly and clearly: Why should we attend? Craft an engaging and precise title. Paint a picture of what someone will gain by attending your webinar.
Bonus points for optimizing these elements of a solid webinar promotion effort:

Bios of presenters, and why they are authorities on the topic
Strong, bold images to maximize conversion on your landing page
