In order to engage all generations, hospitals must understand these differences and how to address them.

In this webcast, participants* will learn:

    how generation membership significantly impacts the attitudes that physicians maintain toward health system leadership, patient care and operational aspects of hospitals     how a health system can assess the attitudinal differences of its physicians and develop systemic strategies to embrace all physicians regardless of age     the drivers of physician loyalty for different generation groups     how building and sustaining loyalty among different generation groups directly drives hospital revenue

Make Your Webinar a Success

December 6th, 2010
Tom Cruz asked:




If you are intending to have a webinar any time soon, you want to make sure that it is a great success. When your webinar is a success, you have a great chance of generating interested sales leads, which then leads to an increase in your sales. This is what you ultimately want right? An increase in sales? Of course it is, therefore, in this article we will show you some tips to ensure that you have a successful webinar.

Make Your Plan

You want to be sure that you have every aspect of your webinar planned out precisely. From start to finish you want to focus on the large details as well as the little ones. Be sure that you plan out what type of success you hope to have, how you will promote your webinar, what your budget is for the event, how people will register, any speakers you might want to set up, and schedules of the event.

By planning everything and writing it down on paper, you are more apt to follow through and have a seamless webinar process.

Opt-In

You want to make sure that you get the contact information of any person who will or might attend your event. This means you need to grab their email addresses in some creative way, either through an informational source about the webinar or the actual sign up process.

Promotion Is Key

Without promotion who will possibly know about your webinar? If you do not tell anyone, they will not know. Therefore, you need to branch out and do some advertisement. However, you first need to understand your targeted audience. Who are you reaching out to? How will this help them? Will your webinar solve a problem and fill a need? When advertising, use various messages, get creative, and find out what brings the most attention.

Schedules Matter

If you are having your webinar at 2:00 in the morning, who do you expect to come? If you are seeking an international audience, this may be a good time, but for your local or national audience it likely will not be. It is best to schedule your webinar at a time when you can get the largest audience. Generally, mid afternoons are best, as well as Tuesday or Wednesday.

Make It Interesting

An interesting webinar will grab and keep your audience’s attention. Remember, you have a lot of things to compete against, when it comes to their attention. These things include work, telephone, the internet, email, pets, children, and family. You have to make sure that you are providing real, solid, and interesting information to keep their attention.

By understanding what makes a successful webinar you are better equipped in ensuring that your webinar is a success.

Making Money With Webinars

December 6th, 2010
Dan Stojadinovic asked:




A webinar is one of the best ways to provide information and also earn money while working on-line. Through a webinar, also known as online web conferencing or online conferencing, you conduct live meetings or presentations to people all over the country as well as the world. Similar to webcasting, a webinar is an event that allows for controlled interaction from the audience. When you run a webinar, you are in the driver’s seat. You can allow participants to type in a question, ask a question through voice or do none of the above.

Whether it is a business webinar or an education webinar this is an inexpensive and effective way of transmitting information. There are numerous practices, which you can consider worth implementing in a webinar. Making money with webinar requires a strategic effort and planning but with some training and thought, you can be successful at webinars.

Making money with webinars

The following are some tips, which will help you make money with a webinar;

First, decide on a topic on which you are going to conduct your online webinar. It is better to select a topic of which you have a thorough knowledge.

The next thing you need to do is to create the on-line presentation. Create a PowerPoint to show graphs, charts and even diagrams and photos. The presentation should be upbeat and include bullet points to help your audience stay engaged and on point.

Decide in advance, what you are going to say in the online webinar. Make a hard copy for yourself, outlining the points which match your visuals and will help you to not become confused. Staying focused with material you want to present to your audience, be sure to take some questions before the end of the webinar and finish up with either a sales pitch or other direction to motivate your audience to action.

Make use of webinar software to invite people to your online web conferencing. These programs are the best webinar technology and a good web conferencing solution. These systems will also provide you a report giving you the names and email addresses of everyone who registered and who attended your webinar. You can also use the help of a webinar company, or various webinar providers in conducting free webinars.

Decide what will be the outcome of the webinar. If you are training in the webinar and not attempting to sell anything at the end, you can charge for your webconfererence. The amount you will charge will depend upon the topic, your experience and also your audience’s threshold for paying for the information. Charging for webinars sounds great, but it doesn’t always work out that way so keep this in mind as you create your model.

You need to promote your webinar. Promoting your webinar to your list of current customers and prospects is the first thing to do. After that you can consider doing a blog post and utilizing Social Media sites such as Facebook or Twitter. Always mention there is limited space in your online webinar, to encourage early sign-ups.

Promoting your webinar and reserving time for questions and answers, inviting guest speakers and rehearsing for the webinar are also some webinar best practices that will help you make money through your webinar. If you follow these tips, you can substantially enhance the effectiveness of your webinar, which in turn can bring you much higher returns.

Empty Webinar Room? Three Traffic Cures Before, During, After Webinar

November 25th, 2010
Rangoo Srinivas asked:




Organizing a webinar is made easy with the web conferencing software that are available today. But the major problem of any webinar is to get targeted audience who are willing to watch and listen to the presentation and take appropriate action.

So what are the best ways to get traffic to webinars?

Here are some of the things you can do before, during and after the webinar.

1. Announce the webinar in advance

Before starting the webinar people have to mentally get prepared to sign up for it. They have to free up their precious time to attend the webinar that may go on for an hour or so. They will willingly do this if the topic being discussed is what they want to learn. they will do this if they know the person who is going to teach them is an expert on the subject. They will benefit more if they come mentally prepared to learn from the webinar.

All these points emphasize the fact that we should announce the webinar quite in advance. We should send one or two emails with a gap of two three days. In each email we should emphasize one aspect of the webinar.

It would be better to announce the webinar on a blog or news site. This will get people posting comments saying we are looking forward to the webinar. When are you going to announce the dates? If you get the participants to this level you can be sure they will not miss the webinar.

2. Announce a Webinar Gift

When it is nearer webinar date and when you send the email with the registration details of the webinar add the information that webinar participants will receive a special gift. There is no need to spell out what the gift is. It is good to keep them guessing rather than say too much and kill their enthusiasm. Some of the potential participants who were not sure whether to sign up or not will want to sign up for the sake of the gift. The gift could be a report, a free software, information about services that will help them speedup whatever is suggested during the webinar. Whatever is given during the webinar should have some relevance to the webinar topic. The topic discussed should be closely linked to the product being given away. This will add value to the webinar, get more traffic to the webinar and the participants will be ready to attend the next webinar without any hesitation.

3. Announce a Contest

The idea of free webinars may be to promote the sale of a product or service, to educate the company staff, to train participants of a membership site, and so on. Whether the webinars are conducted for religious purposes or internet marketing purposes, some of the basic responses of participants are common. Participants enthusiastically sign up for the webinar, at least 50% of them actively participate by asking questions and interacting with others. If the webinar had gone on well, they leave the webinar room with a lot of enthusiasm to get things done. Then they get back to their routines and 90% of the effort they have put in and the webinar organizer has put in is lost. To gain maximally from any webinar, the organizer should announce a contest at the end of the webinar. All the participants are automatically entered into the contest and a prize is announced for the winner.

This gives a valuable opportunity for the webinar expert to contact this group after the webinar is over. Again the contest and the pprize should be announced in blogs and webinar news sites. Announcing this in webinar forums is a great way to spread the message. The competition will go on for some time, then the prize will be announced and there can be a post from the prize winner about the webinar experience. This is a wonderful testimonial to the webinar that will get more people sign up for a similar webinar in future.

There are many more ways to get traffic to webinars and this article has dicussed three important traffic tactics that can be implemented before, during and after the webinar.

Advantages of Using Video Conferencing

November 13th, 2010
Serena Wilkinson asked:




There are those who would argue that staging a webinar is not much different from conducting a live presentation in person. In many ways this is true, but the web conferencing format expands the audience and enhances the presentation. One example is through the use of videos in meetings.

Video Conferencing Explained

The term video conferencing refers to technology that allows communication via live video streams. It can involve two or more persons, but the basic idea is that all participants can see all others involved in the web conference. While it can be a standalone service, it is usually a component of today’s web conferencing software. While video conferencing is not absolutely vital to the success of a meeting, having a video component does greatly increase the overall presentation’s effectiveness.

The Benefits and Advantages

Few conferences can be considered successful without some sort of video component. Along with standard features as chat, annotation and whiteboard, presentations can be structured in such a way that participants can offer their own input in real time. This is one of the many benefits of conducting a seminar or meeting online and a growing number of organizations are catching on to this fact. These include:

Large and small companies: Regardless of the size of any business, there are great benefits to be had by either hosting or attending a webinar. Some companies may use them to provide training for employees. Smaller companies recognize the value of the web meeting for networking opportunities and self promotion. Many meeting software also have built in screen sharing functions, allowing for an easy way for teams to collaborate and work together regardless of their physical locations.

Schools and universities:

Use of video conferencing does not only apply to online schools. Online learning also schools the flexibility to offer self-paces or distance learning classes for students who are not able to attend classes on campus. Courses taught online can often be recorded for reference by students or professors later.

What Is A Webinar?

November 13th, 2010
Greg Roy asked:




As more businesses look for creative ways to reach new customers as well as cut costs of communicating, the subject of webinars often comes up. What is a webinar, and what benefits can it generate for a company?

To answer the question of “what is a webinar?” one need only look to a resource that has become common to businesses of all sizes during the past ten years: the Internet. The basic answer to “what is a webinar?” is that it is simply utilizing the Internet to share visual presentations and other documents with persons who are in various physical positions around the country or even around the world. The word webinar is derived from two root words: web and seminar. A webinar is a seminar using the web and web conferencing software. When a web conference is partnered with an audio conference call, the result is a powerful communications tool that can change the way your company does business.

A webinar can be a very simple affair that is used to convey information from corporate level to outlying locations. It may also be something much more complex that involves the ability for persons to work together on a common document, interact on a common project, or stream data out to a large number of locations.

It is important to think in terms of what this can do for your business. One of the most immediate benefits of a webinar is that it can eliminate a large portion of your company’s travel budget. While there will always be those occasions when a face to face meeting is a necessity, many business exchanges within your company can be handled with the use of a web conference. Meetings that once required travel by jet can now be handled via a web conference.

A web conference can also be used to connect with potential clients who are physically at a distance from your location. Even if your suggestion of holding the meeting via the Internet is first met with the question “what is a webinar?” a quick assurance that it is easy and would require less expense on their part will impress your customer. After all, you are using cutting edge technology to communicate with them and you are doing so with an eye to being respectful of their busy schedules. This is a win/win situation and it is an opportunity to raise their opinion of you and your company.

Webinars are an easy way to hold an ad hoc meeting with people in many different locations with almost no advance notice. As an example, assume you have a client that has just encountered a major problem. You know your company can bring them a solution. You simply prepare the necessary documents quickly, gather all relevant persons together for a webinar, and walk them through the solution. While this could be done with an audio conference alone, the added impact of visuals will often help drive home the effectiveness of your solution and allow your client to authorize your solution much more quickly. This could give you another opportunity to strengthen your presence with your customer.

Webinars are a tool that allows you to take persons on a tour of any web site you choose. Often, when you want to connect with a potential client who is too busy to set aside a couple of hours for a face to face meeting, you can get thirty minutes on an audio call and a session on the web. You can prepare some slides or a document to illustrate what your company can do for them; or if you have a really informative company web site, take your prospect to your company web site and point out a few facts that are prominently posted.

While we are several years away from a time when people will no longer ask “what is a webinar?” the answer will always vary, depending on what types of communication are most desirable to the person who makes the query. If it is documentation, then that is the main thrust of the response. If it is finding information on the web, the web-touring feature will be part of the answer. Should the main concern be finding time for meetings, then the time efficiency and cost savings of webinars will come to the fore. Whatever the need that is foremost in the mind of the person asking the question, there will be found the most appropriate answer to the question “what is a webinar?”

Online Conferencing – Various Forms of Services

November 11th, 2010
Hope Dever asked:




Online conferencing was once associated with high profile businesses, who had to interact with people from various places. It was expensive to set up such an conferencing internet service. However, with time, internet has become more accessible so has the conferencing services. The facility is now no longer limited to multi-national companies but can be utilized by small and medium size businesses too. To convey about one’s business one does not need to hold meetings at various locations and in this way saving the money on travel as well as accommodation. Thus, you can reach out to more people. Thereby, online conferencing has become one of the most impressive tools in boosting small businesses.

The internet market is now full of conference call providers and everyone is competing with the other to grab more market share. This has benefited the clients as the cost of conferencing has come down like never before. So select the facilities that you would require for your business and then select the online conference service provider.

Audio or Video Conferencing:

Depending on your business, you got to decide the mode of conferencing that you would select. Though audio conferencing services are much cheaper than video conferencing ones, it does not possess the multiple features that video conferencing offers. Under the umbrella term “video conferencing”, webinar and various other web-based video conferencing are also there. Presentations with slide, power-points, application of white boards, sharing of desktop and screens among the attendees are possible. Even simultaneous online wiki-style editing is facilitated. Usage of pointer and the visuals makes it easier to explain or put across points to the others in video based conferencing.

Free Conferencing:

There are multiple online conferencing service providers that offer free conferencing. If you have few people to reach out to and do not require a prolific service regularly then it is alright to use free services in conferencing.

Reservation:

Online conferencing vendors offer two kinds of services, reservation and non-reservation. Once again if you want to conduct an online conference without any preparation then you can avail the non-reservation facility. In this case, you are free to select the people that you want in the conference and the service provider is in no way involved, apart from providing you with the conference facility. On the other hand, in case of conferencing reservation, you need to schedule and book the time. Then you have to inform the number of participants to become a part of the conference. In case of reservation conference, people without invitation cannot take part in it.

Time limit:

Decide on the time that you would require to talk on your business matters. Most of the time, a conference call is allowed to run for one hour, but larger audience would mean more duration. So, know the number of participants along with the time required by you. At the time of doing your reservation you can give an estimation of the time that you would require. This would also enable you to make an estimation of the cost required for the conference.

Online conferencing also lets you keep the record of the conference so that you can refer to it later.

How to Host a Webinar

October 16th, 2010
Tom Cruz asked:




Hosting a successful webinar takes a few steps and a bit of research but once you have the basics you can easily host any number of webinars and have them be a success for both you and your business. Each year the use of webinars grows by close to 30% as technology makes this form of information presentation more appealing and easier to use. When looking into webinars consider the following things, not all hosts are the same, a consultant may be a wise investment, consider your webinar’s schedule, create superior quality content, and etiquette -often forgotten but often essential.

The host you choose is vital to the success of your webinar. No matter how great your content if you do not have the features you need or your content cannot be viewed it is not going to provide you with benefits and the results that you need. This is why it is important to research your host carefully. Things to look for are scalability, reliability, and the ability to work with a wide variety of technologies. Having the latest and greatest is great but if you cannot get your video to the people who need to see because the technology is too different your webinar may not be as successful as you may like.

Consider the benefits of a consultant. Consultants can help you to put together your webinar in a way that helps to maximize the potential of success and viability. They can help you tailor your content and presentation to make it easier to present on the web and make it more web and user friendly. They help to make the transition into using webinars easy from start to finish.

The dates and times you offer your webinar are just as important as the content provided. If you are offering your webinar to UK viewers and you set your schedule to Eastern Standard Time and set it for 4pm you may find a decided lack of viewers since this is around 9pm in the UK. The same goes for setting up a schedule with Pacific Time at 3pm this makes it 6pm in Eastern Standard Time. This is why the times and dates of your webinar are essential if you are looking to market it to individuals who would be taking it during normal business hours. If you were looking to make it available for home use you would need to consider hours outside the normal business schedule.

Content is everything in a webinar so it is important that you present information that is well researched, well organized and above all relevant to the topic being presented. You want to supply information at a speed that is going to allow retention but still allow you to get everything you want to present into the presentation.

Etiquette is something many people forget on the web. This is because the web is the world of short hand and abbreviations. However, such abbreviations should be avoided. Arrive on time to your webinar, make sure to maintain politeness such as welcome, please and thank you and as a courtesy consider supplying materials that show how to use each of the function to make it easier for people to benefit from your presentation.
