MenuHow to get to know with attractive speakers who work for global famous companies?
Answers
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

What is the procedure to producing my first Webinar? And what start-up equipment and software is required?
Hi, your question and your statement following are about two different things. A video recording and a webinar are not the same thing. A webinar is a live event that is recorded into video format. You invite people to attend, get them on a list, remind them to appear at the right time and place, then present live. Afterwards, your webinar is available as a video--though some media type conversion may be required--and you can use it as a "rebroadcasting". The second thing you described, in which you would be talking over a Powerpoint presentation to no one, is a marketing video. Yes, the end product is similar; however, the webinar is presented to live prospects. If you want to record a voiceover on top of slides, and then use this to present an offer at the end, this is called a Video Sales Letter or VSL. At any rate, you have all the stuff you need to make a marketing video or VSL. You may benefit from buying a microphone or headset with built-in mic if you don't already have one, as laptop microphones are generally pretty bad. Screen capture your slides and your voice, edit as needed, upload to Youtube, Vimeo or the platform of your choice. After this is done, you'll probably want to embed it into a web page with some sales copy around it and a Buy button. Then you'll need a way of driving traffic to that page, and probably a squeeze page and autoresponder to capture the email addresses of those subscribers. If you're going to run a webinar, you could use GoToWebinar, which is the sort of default standard (it's not great, but it has been around forever), another platform or even Google Hangouts On Air. After recording, you'll have the video file--convert from GTW with Handbrake or download from Youtube--to edit or embed as you wish. So figure out whether you want a live audience or not. If you do, then you'll need a way of attracting and signing up that traffic, and then presenting to them. If not, you can simply record your presentation. But either way, to make use of the recording afterwards you're going to have to have a way of driving traffic to it, and a way for people to buy from you...and that's probably going to be a web page.JK

How can I improve the rate of attendees for my webinar?
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.JF

What is the best webinar platform for a mac that has recording?
You might want to try Clickwebinar for webinars. I have used their service seamlessly for a couple of months on MacOS and they do the recordings. They are not good though if you need to constantly interact with the audience because the delay in speech through their server is too high (or at least was too much for my standards). In those situations, I presume Skype's or Google Hangouts screen sharing feature is just about enough. If you need to record the screen even when using Skype or such, try SnagIt (http://www.techsmith.com/snagit.html) Hope you'll find this useful. IgorIK

Who would you hire if you want to improve your public speaking skills?
I'd suggest first joining a local Toastmasters club. There you'll be able to practice, receive feedback and more. Then work with a coach one on one. If you'd like specific recommendations, I'd be happy to offer coaches I know on a short call.SL
