1. Be Prepared

Think engagement and value

Users will multi-task… deal with it…

Talk WITH them not TO them

Content plan… text, photo, video, audio

Page 6: Presenting Virtually - Beginner Tips for Webinars

2. Understand Your Audience

What motivates them… why attend

Clarity of the invitation or registration

What calls to action are planned

Create content with “viral appeal”

Page 7: Presenting Virtually - Beginner Tips for Webinars

3. Focus on the Few

Only present key points

Stick to the primary take-aways

Don’t try to cover everything… it’s too much

Cut what does not support key points

Page 8: Presenting Virtually - Beginner Tips for Webinars

4. Think Visually

Emotional impact

Images and ideas, not words

Illustrate a point

Show a story, use examples, present graphs

Page 9: Presenting Virtually - Beginner Tips for Webinars

5. Use the Technology

Don’t just present your slides

Harness the power of…

chat, Q&A managers, hands-up indicators, moderators, surveys/polls, document sharing, shared desktops and whiteboards

Page 10: Presenting Virtually - Beginner Tips for Webinars

6. Be Conversational

Go with the flow

Don’t read the slides or a script

Pay attention to the “back channel”

Be prepared to respond

Page 11: Presenting Virtually - Beginner Tips for Webinars

7. Know Your Virtual Body Language

Quality of voice

Variance of voice

How you “move” i.e. use the tools

On video… think about your background
