Today we will talk about the last five tips for you to successfully ROCK your first (or next) teleseminar/webinar. To recap, you need to commit to conduct a webinar, decide how you want to conduct it, know who your target audience is, know the subject of the webinar, know the goal of the webinar, and promote it. So, let’s get rocking and pick up exactly where we left off with Tip Number Six!

A webinar/teleseminar is simply a meeting, workshop, seminar and/or presentation conducted over the web. A webinar is a GREAT way to get information to your target audience, or even sell or introduce a product to them. Some webinars are pre-recorded and some are conducted live. So you want to hold a webinar, but don’t know where to start? As virtual assistants we have many clients that hold webinars and this is how we make them ALL successful.
Now the first question is what do you need to do to make sure your webinar or teleseminar is not only 100% –– but 110% successful? To conduct a 110% successful webinar you need to do what Santa does, make a list and check it twice. For the sake of time you can just use my checklist of tips, but still, check it twice.

The other day when helping a client transition from 1ShoppingCart to Infusionsoft (oh what a refreshing change to have one centrally located system!!!) – and when we sent an email out to her affiliates to announce the change – an affiliate responded asking why we made the change and what were the benefits.
Not too abnormal, right?
Well, the issue was that affiliate that reached out was also a client!!! But they of course did not know that we were CVA when answering on behalf of the client! We answered the best we could but thought, why didn’t our client ask their VA? We did not want to betray client confidentiality by admitting to client 2 we were also the VA for client 1. But it concerned us.

Since my last post on the Camtasia Screen Capture and Edting Suite available from Techsmith I have received several questions on the best way to go about putting together aesthetically pleasing, informative, effective and most importantly, professional grade how-to video for online distribution. The following exposition can apply to almost any kind of how-to video, regardless of whether the subject will require a screen capture utility at all.
My advice to anyone wanting to provide their client with a high quality how-to video is first, go to YouTube , Vimeo or any other favorite video sharing site and search for how-to videos. You will be greeted with mountains of how-tos from serious to satirical ranging in quality from largely home-made shaky cam pointing at a monitor to a few genuinely professional grade videos. I have always proceeded from the standpoint that if a client wanted a video that looked as though it was shot with a cell phone camera pointing at a computer screen and narrated on the fly, they’d do it themselves. Clients, however, pay us to provide them with professional grade products and while I cannot claim to be able to trump Michael Bay in terms of production quality, I can certainly find a middle ground between Hollywood and the kid next door recording his best game of Guitar Hero.

1ShoppingCart is a web-based shopping cart program that does everything from allowing you to set-up a sell products, offer digital downloads, manage an affiliate program, process credit card transactions, and allows you to manage and market to your list. As a Virtual Assistant, I use 1ShoppingCart (1SC) with many of my clients and along the way have learned some tips to make using 1SC even easier for you!
Today’s helpful tip will explain a bit more about a 1SC feature called Autoresponders and how to use your existing autoresponders to send emails to certain people on your mailing list.
At CVA we offer our clients the ability to turn over all of their 1SC duties to their VA, but if you need to do this yourself, we also love to teach our clients new things too!
If you are running a promotional campaign to market a new product or in our example a teleseminar , you will want to take a few different steps to make this a great experience for your clients or future clients. First you will want to set up a new autoresponder that you will use to send out all of your promotional emails. Second, you will want to create a second auto-responder that people will be added to when the opt-in AND that removes them from the first one automatically!
