I want registrants to know what happens from signup to showtime
A webinar signup funnel gives registrants a clear path from signup through confirmation, reminders and joining.
Give registrants a clear signup, confirmation, reminder and joining path so they know what happens before the webinar begins. The gap between signing up and turning up is where a webinar is won or lost. Somewhere to host it, a page where somebody signs up, a confirmation the moment they do, the link where they will not lose it, and the emails that carry them from that day to this one. Registrations and attendance are two different numbers, and the emails are what sits between them.
Decided with you before anything is set up. What each one costs monthly gets checked against the vendor's own pricing at the time, because it moves.
A meeting and a webinar are two different products on the same platform. Zoom's own comparison says a meeting has optional basic registration, while a webinar has built-in registration with custom fields and sends automated email reminders once registration is turned on. In a meeting everybody can turn on video and unmute. In a webinar attendees join in listen-only mode, and only hosts and panelists are seen and heard. Which of those you want is what decides the license you pay for.
The signup page, the confirmation page, the link to your webinar, and six emails that run from the moment somebody registers to fifteen minutes after you start. The platform is chosen with you first, on how many people, whether attendees speak or only watch, and whether it records.
The whole thing is tested end to end before it is promoted: signup, confirmation, the link, and every email in the order it sends.
The build is the expensive part once. Running it again is the copy and the date, priced on its own, so the second one costs a fraction of the first.
More on how working together works.
Whichever one fits the size of the room, the budget and how much of the follow up you want handled in the same place. It is chosen with you before anything is paid for, and the trade offs are named.
Fewer than you would think. A small room that is the right room beats a large one that is not. The number also matters less when the recording keeps working afterwards.
Saying it out loud and running the whole thing on the platform is Webinar Rehearsal and Run Through, billed by the hour, and it is worth doing before the first one.
A fraction of the first. The build already exists, so a repeat is the copy and the date, priced on its own below.
Yes, and many do. A live first run is still worth doing once, because the questions people ask in it tell you what to change before it becomes the version that runs on repeat.
Slides with your voice work. On camera tends to hold attention better, and it is your call.
They get the replay and a short follow up. In most webinars that group is larger than the live audience, so it is planned for from the start.
I read it and reply with the scope and the price before any work starts.
Tell me the result you want and where I can see the business now. I use that information to identify the most useful service or package and decide whether I can quote it in writing. If one missing detail changes the work or price, I will ask for that detail or suggest a short call.
