In this unique course, you will have a series of online lessons that will cover the steps to create a Webinar for a business or government audience. Each lesson group will include detailed information, as well as resources that you will be able to use.

Following each lesson group, instead of a quiz or exam, there will be a period of one-on-one learning. Each student (or company if there are multiple students from one company) will receive dedicated hours from a member of our team that will go towards answering questions, as well as planning and preparing for your own Webinar.

Our goal is not just to teach you how to create a webinar through online videos, but to step in and help you do some of the work necessary to create a successful event.

1 Live or Pre-Recorded Webinar For Your Business

The end-goal is to create your own Webinar. Working with you and your team, we will go through each step in the process together, with the end goal of producing a Webinar.

Lesson One: Introduction To Webinars


Key questions we will ask and answer: What are Webinars? How popular and effective are they? What are the best cases to use a Webinar? How can you set goals and measure success? What technologies are available? What is the budget necessary for a Webinar? And how long is the process for setting up your first event?

We will define what Webinars are, and review industry statistics for B2B and B2G marketers. What's more, every marketer needs to qualify why their company should create a Webinar or a Webinar series / program. We will go into detail about where Webinars are most effective, and cover some data on return on investment or ROI from Webinars.

The course will examine a detailed list of Webinar providers and costs to help you start planning your budget, as well as the types of technologies you can use for your event. And we will review the steps and time necessary for creating a successful event.

One-On-One Session

As part of the one-on-one session time, we will examine your company's business (what you do), who your customers are / the target audience, and the market challenges your audience is facing. Though "audience identification" is a topic that we will explore in more detail in Lesson 2, we need to start thinking about your audience as part of the planning process.

Some of the key goals of this one-on-one session are to map out why your company should conduct a webinar, draft our expectations for results, outline a budget, and identify topics for a potential event.

Course Objectives


  • Qualify the value of a Webinar for your business

  • Review successful event formats

  • Identify Webinar service providers, and available technology

  • Start to outline your budget

  • Begin to determine your audience and potential topics

Lesson Two: Your Audience and the Event Topic


Key questions we will ask and answer: Who is your target audience? How can you identify targets to register for your Webinars? How do you build a topic for your audience - a topic that will resonate with them? And how do you plan to keep them engaged before, during, and after an event?

We will go into detail about broad and niche audiences (both B2B and B2G), how to identify prospective registrants, and how to communicate your event information to audiences (both known prospects and potential prospects that are not familiar with your business).

We will review how a Webinar topic needs to be constructed to appeal to your audience. And review several tactics for engagement based on case studies, industry data, and what we know about audiences.

One-On-One Session

As part of the one-on-one session time, we will review our decisions in the previous session, and make certain that we have the most effective event topic. We also will spend time outlining a marketing / promotional strategy, as well as start to determine ways in which you can keep your audience engaged.

Some of the key goals of this one-on-one session are to finalize audience and event topic, start to explore a speaker or speakers, list potential people to moderate, and outline how you will engage with your audience before, during, and after the event to increase your connection to them, and start to better qualify leads.

Course Objectives


  • How to identify your target audience

  • The pros and cons for going broad vs. going niche

  • How to create a compelling topic

When is the best day / time to schedule a Webinar? What internal pieces do you need to map out - from managing tasks, creating graphics, and coordinating your speakers to setting up the room the day of the event, and how you thank all your participants when the event is over. And, how to plan for / react to problems that could occur during a Webinar.

This set of lessons will go into great detail about all the planning and logistics involved in hosting a Webinar to ensure you do not miss steps. We will cover providers, audio quality, video, applications that are commonly used as well as those that can give you an edge. And we will discuss how to avoid a bad event through planning.

We also will provide for all students a detailed spreadsheet planning document that can be used to manage all phases of a Webinar event.

One-On-One Session

As part of the one-on-one session time, we will review what has been determined to this point in terms of audience and topic, and outline all the next steps.

Some of the key goals of this one-on-one session are to map out every action going forward including when email campaigns will be sent and when slides will be developed. We will lock-down an event speaker or speakers, finalize the moderator, set a date for the event and the event rehearsal, and start to build out a complete event map for what needs to be done.

Course Objectives


  • What are all the logistics for a Webinar

  • What technology do you need to be successful

  • How many people do you need, and what are their roles

  • How to plan to avoid a bad event or recover from mistakes or technical problems in the fastest way possible

Lesson Four: Promotion (Marketing and Advertising)


Key questions we will ask and answer: What do you need to successfully market or promote your Webinar? How can you build your registration list with the right attendees? What tools can you use?

And what is a good schedule for pre- and post-event marketing?

This set of lessons will go into great detail about all the marketing and advertising you will need to do in order to have a successful Webinar. Simply building it does not mean they will come. Webinars are only effective if the right people know they are happening. Many of the resources and tactics we will discuss can be applied to other types of marketing campaigns - not just Webinars.

We also will discuss language in your promotional messaging, and how to best communicate with people based on their roles, as well as the differences in messaging between B2B and B2G audiences.

Lastly, the course will provide detailed resources, including a sample marketing plan and schedule, that you can use for promoting your upcoming webinar, as well as future events.

One-On-One Session

As part of the one-on-one session time, we will review what has been determined to this point, and outline all the steps in marketing and promotion.

Some of the key goals of this one-on-one session are to review and edit landing page copy, email messaging, any website landing pages, and other advertising. If you are planning on using outbound calling as part of your marketing or as part of a post-registration lead qualification process, we will discuss call scripts and other tactics.

Lesson Five: Creating the Presentation and Event Script


Key questions we will ask and answer: How do you structure your presentation? How can you keep your audience engaged during the presentation? What do you need to say at the start and finish? And is there anything you need to avoid doing?

The presentation is the moment to deliver what you have promised, and provide a great experience for the audience to ensure they the information they need. You also want to make sure that in addition to meeting audience expectations, you create the right kind of "calls to action" or CTAs, and move people through your sales process. We will review successful examples of presentation slides, discuss flow, speaker-moderator-audience engagement during the event, polling / surveys, and how to properly script your event.

Every participant will receive an outline for how to present a Webinar - a mock script - that you can adapt for future Webinars.

One-On-One Session

As part of the one-on-one session time, we will review everything outlined to date. By this point, we should have topic, event date, speakers and other key logistics decided. We will have outlines for our marketing and promotional efforts to build an audience. Now, we need to start thinking about what information will be presented and how the information will be presented.

Some of the key goals of this one-on-one session are to create a presentation outline, start to build the presentation and gather any graphic or content assets necessary, and set a firm date to complete the presentation. We also will want to start to create a personalized script for the event. And we will want to review the marketing campaigns.

How can you handle problems as they arise (everything from technical issues to speaker cancellations)? How can you relax and enjoy the moment? And... Do you have everything ready for post-event activities?

The day of a Webinar, especially your first one, can be stressful. We know - we have been there. Our goal with this session is to review all the steps we have covered, and discuss what needs to happen the day of the event. We will review problems that can arise, and how to address them, as well as how you can relax and focus on the excitement of delivering an event that you've worked hard to create.

While we will provide a detailed event planning guide, we also will provide a template for a "Webinar Day Checklist" that you can use for your events. This checklist will go a long way to easing the stress, and making sure you are prepared / organized for the Webinar.

One-On-One Session

The one-on-one sessions are usually reserved for planning. In this case, we will use this session to review all the steps taken thus far, and assist in the "live" event, or in transmitting the pre-recorded event to your audience.

Course Objectives


  • Determine if you should hold a "Live" event or a pre-recorded Webinar

  • Outline all the steps for the day of the event

  • Plan responses to potential problems

How do you communicate with people who attended vs those who did not attend? How do you market a Webinar AFTER it is over? How do you know if you were successful? What ways can you measure the effectiveness of a Webinar (surveys, analytics, etc)? And how you should properly thank your speakers.

Now that the Webinar has been completed, there is still a lot of work to be done.We will cover all the steps that are common in post-event activities, including how to communicate with everyone who registered, and how to measure whether your event was successful or not. We will provide a general checklist for steps you will want to take. We also will discuss the value of post-event calls (either through your team or hiring a team to make outbound calls.
