Teleseminars and webinars open the doors to expanding your network, providing education and training to clients and prospects, creating information products that you can distribute, meet and interact with people around the globe, and at the same time save money. This article will use Instant Teleseminar as an example of one of the systems that is available for starting your own teleseminars.

A teleseminar use the telephone and the internet. You and one or more co-hosts can present your topic using the phone and your attendees listen by phone. It is similar to a conference call but there are more facilities and control on the interaction.

A webinar has a visual component - and you may be using a powerpoint or other documents that the audience can view and you can control.

There are several different ways you can use a teleseminar. You may be educating your audience on a topic, introducing them to one of your products or services, or you may find it works for you as a way of meeting with colleagues and work groups that may be scattered geographically. You can consider using it for board meetings for your organization if the board members have to come from a distance. A teleseminar is also an excellent way to interview and present experts and resources as a benefit to your target groups.

I have been trying out Instant Teleseminar and have found that it has so many features that are useful. It is easy to learn to setup an event. You can even have the event recorded and have it available as a replay - or use it as a method for taking notes or creating information products. People are able to dial in by the phone - or they can use their browser and click on the audio button on the web page and listen online. This is really useful to broaden the reach to international audiences without the cost of a phone call.

There are so many benefits of offering teleseminars and webinars. You don't have to setup a location, organize registration, chairs, lunch, tea and coffee. There is no travel time and no expense of gas, no lost time sitting in the car getting to the event. You can do the presentation or seminar from anywhere that you have a phone and an internet connection. There are no geographical restrictions so if you happen to live in a rural area or if someone in China is interested in your product or service there is no limit to access.

With Instant Teleseminar there is a great one dollar trial period where you can try everything out. Contact me for more details and I can suggest how to get started with one of my free teleseminars.
