When you are ready to present your first of many webinars, there are a few things you need to do. In this short post Robert Plank shares with us three key steps to take for a successful first webinar.

First rehearse the presentation you are going to deliver. Get an audience to view that presentation, and record the presentation for yourself and for others as a replay. The easiest way to get over being afraid or anxious about presenting on your webinar is to simply do a dry run — rehearse it. Pretend it flies, don’t pause, and don’t start over. Just open up your presentation, and present it as if you normally would.

This will easily show you how long your webinar will last, and will identify any trouble points within that presentation. Now that you have that ready, you need a crowd of people to view it. And because this is your first webinar, it’s fine if only 10 or 20 people see your offer. Even if only one or two people, or no people, see what you have to say, you can always record it for later. And recording a webinar presentation is very easy. Services such as GoToWebinar, have the recording option built in.

You click one button, and after your webinar has completed, you can save a video file. As a backup I will also use a screen capture program, such as Camtasia Studio, so that I have a high quality copy of my webinar that I can use as a DVD, log post, bonus, and much, much more. When you’re getting ready for that first webinar, rehearse it, get an audience, and record it.
