What is the best webinar platform for a mac that has recording?

GoToWebinar all the way. It's a bit pricey (but not too much), but it's by far the best solution out there. The last thing you want to do is use a free/cheap but unreliable provider and have your webinar experience massive connectivity issues or drop half way through.

You need to practice the webinars alone but in record mode. Using GoToMeeting/GoToWebinar you can practice presenting to yourself or others in your organization. The benefit is you get used to the technical tools to prevent those technical mismanagement issues as well as practicing your pitch. I also mean practice them all the way thru completely. With the proper tools you can and should record them so you can review yourself and/or distribute them as branding materials.

Have you considered utilizing a tool like Webinar Jam? You can pre-record your webinars, turn them into evergreen webinars and set the entire system up to provide specific dates and times for the recording, including a, "Your in luck, our next one starts in 15 minutes!" option or something like it. Three weeks is a long time to wait when we are a society that want instant gratification so offering something like this may be a key for more frequency. Also, if you have a way to monitor the open rate of those five reminders, I'd encourage you to look at that statistic. Even though your current schedule is three weeks out, five reminders seem a little high and I'm thinking you'll see that the two out of the five e-mails don't even get looked at. Other suggestions would be to look closely at your webinar title, the length of the webinar and even the hook you are pitching to encourage people to watch. You want to give off a high perceived value to entice registration and attendance.

Hi Kinuko, Well done for the initiative. I wasn't 100% clear what type of speakers you are looking for, but in general, even if you don't have a large budget, you can still bring in speakers, so long as the (1) event is prestigious enough and/or (2) the audience is large enough or has people who could be potential customers/clients for the speaker. I often get invited to speak at events, and the payment varies on numerous factors such as location (versus zoom), type of audience, size of audience. I've even given a few completely free lectures because the audience was big enough and relevant to my industry - or just because I wanted to help promote a certain agenda - like female entrepreneurs. TedX would be a good place to find top-notch speakers - some are famous, other's less, but most are good. Good luck

Recent Udemy changes... well over last 18 months now, have rendered Udemy less than the best for marketing. If you layout your entire monetization strategy, likely there are far more lucrative + useful ways of marketing than Udemy. Be sure to mention if you're using your using your course as a lead magnet to build a list or your course itself is what you're targeting to monetize.
