I want registrants to know what happens from signup to showtime

Webinar Signup Funnel

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.

Where it gets hosted, and what each choice changes

Where it gets hosted, and what the choice changes

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 tool you already pay forZoom Meetings, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams. Everybody in the room can turn a camera on and speak, which suits a small session you want to feel like a conversation.
  • A webinar toolZoom Webinars, GoTo Webinar, Demio, Livestorm. Attendees watch rather than join in, and the registration, the reminders and the questions are part of the product rather than something bolted on afterwards.
  • Pre-recorded, played to a scheduleWebinarJam and EverWebinar run a recording at a set time, so the session happens without you in it. Whether the page says it is live is worth deciding on purpose, because a viewer who asks a question and gets nothing back notices.
  • Public, with no registrationYouTube Live, Facebook Live, LinkedIn Live. Anybody can watch and nobody signs up, so the reach is wider and no email list comes out of it.
  • Already inside the platform you pay forKajabi and GoHighLevel carry webinars next to the pages, the emails and the payments. Where you are on one of those already, that is the first thing to check.

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.

How this gets fixed

The service is a webinar signup funnel

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.

What a webinar needs before the date

  • Somewhere to host it, chosen for whether attendees speak or only watch
  • A page where somebody registers, and a confirmation the moment they do
  • Reminders between registering and the date, because those are weeks apart
  • A replay, for everybody who registers and does not attend
  • More than one date, so the people busy that evening have a next one
  • Promotion that points at content you already publish, rather than starting the same week
  • The offer at the end, said as a sentence rather than arriving as a pivot

FAQ

Questions about this service

Which platform do you use?

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.

How many people do I need for it to be worth running?

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.

Do I get a rehearsal with this?

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.

What does it cost to run the same webinar again?

A fraction of the first. The build already exists, so a repeat is the copy and the date, priced on its own below.

Can I just record it once and replay it?

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.

Do I need to be on camera?

Slides with your voice work. On camera tends to hold attention better, and it is your call.

What happens to the people who registered and did not turn up?

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.
