Attending Teleseminars for Fun and Profit

It is no secret that I love teleseminars. I go to several each week whether I'm in guest mode, host mode, or even just a listener, I love to be there. Why? Well, I have figured out that the investment I make with my money and time is worth it because I can turn myself a profit every time. Here are some of the techniques that I use:

1. Before I sign up for any teleseminar I make sure that I carefully read the announcement or sales letter first. If the speaker or the topic of the seminar is not of interest to me, there is no point in wasting my time. Therefore, I make sure that I read it very carefully, so I know what I am expecting when I arrive.

2. Don't be afraid to take advantage of the multitude of complimentary teleseminars being offered. Yes, each will end with a sales pitch. But I consider 55 minutes of great content worth the 5 minute commercial. Certainly can't get that trade-off on TV!

3. I take full advantage of teleseminars that ask me to submit a question. There is good reason for this. First, it allows me to get answers to the questions I want to hear. Even if I have to think really hard, I submit a good question, which is what the host will want. The earlier you submit your questions, the more likely they are to be asked.

That means that if they use your question your name will be mentioned on the call. This is no cost publicity! Not only will the live audience hear your name, but everyone who listens to the replay will hear it, too. That can be years of PR.

Why should this matter to you? Remember, a teleseminar is not personal, names are the only thing any person in attendance has to go by. Therefore, for the most part they hear the names of the experts, such as the guests and hosts. However, if they hear your name, you are immediately thought of as an expert. The more you do this, the more people will get to know you and recognize the name immediately; this is a good reputation builder.

4. Whether or not they ask for it, send a testimonial immediately after the teleseminar. Don't wait till the next day. The seminar host is flying high and posting the followup page right after the seminar ends. So when your timely testimonial arrives, he/she is likely to add it to the site. You will be amazed at how many people say "I saw your testimonial on so-and-so's site."

A good testimonial is specific. Don't say "great information"; instead say "I really liked the three tips you gave on affiliate traffic." And be sure to sign your name and title and website as you want them to appear - they'll copy and paste it if you've done a good job.

5. Many hosts of teleseminars will offers you the ability to become an affiliate or part of their resale program. This is generally a great idea for you because you are in a good position. You just went through the seminar, you wrote a great review, now all at that is left is you to let other people know about it. The testimonial that you wrote could be a great starting point for your own sales copy.

In other words, after reading this, now you can start to review teleseminars as an opportunity for marketing.
