The Do's And Don'ts Of Holding Web Conferences, For Internet Marketing Companies

By Arthur Williams


Web conferencing, for the uninitiated, is the method by which audio and video is streamed over the Internet in real time. When employees and business people are unable to attend appointments or meetings in person, web conferencing is the next best thing. In fact, it has become quite common in the business place. For every Internet marketing company, small and large, here are some do's and don'ts that will make your future conferences successful.

If your goal is to hold the best web conferences, start each event earlier. What this does, according to according to such names in marketing as www.fishbat.com, is give you time before attendees join. During this time, you should do last-minute testing of your software, Internet connection, and anything else that you will need to hold web conferences. This will give you the opportunity to correct any errors, resulting in better events from a technical standpoint.

You should also be well-versed in the content or subject matter that you will discuss. One of the most common rookie mistakes, when it comes to web conferencing, is reading slides or scripts verbatim. What this does, more than anything else, is show that you don't have confidence in what you're speaking about. Your attendees will be less likely to tune in, which means that they won't receive the value that they expect.

When it comes to the don'ts of web conferencing, going too fast is something to work on. Even if you know your subject matter, inside and out, it's possible that you will still speak at a rapid pace. This will make it difficult for your attendees to keep up. Furthermore, they may be tentative about asking questions if the speed at which you speak is too quick. Relax, take a deep breath, and take your speech back a few steps. You'll be happy that you did.

You should also know the importance of time and, to be more specific, not going over what you've been allotted. One of the ways to improve, in this sense, is by using a timer. By timing yourself with a device on a regular basis, you will have a better understanding of time without a device. You should also know what material to cut if you feel like you're going over your time. These are just a few ways to keep your web conferences as short and sweet as possible.
