‘Webinars’ is a word you’ve probably heard a lot in the business community but that doesn’t mean you understand the benefits of attending them. In case you haven’t heard the word before or are unsure what it is…
Webinars are interactive, online virtual events and are incredibly effective learning tools for solopreneurs and business owners. Why? These events provide you with practical steps/tools that you can implement to achieve certain goals, all at your convenience.
If that isn’t enough to convince you to attend the next webinar you see, keep reading to learn how webinars are…
Cost-effective
In-person events are great but the costs of attending them can add up. First, there’s the price of the ticket, then there are travel costs and you may even have to include accommodation costs if the event is far from where you live. All of that adds up without even considering the time you might have to take away from your business.
Don’t get me wrong, you definitely should attend in-person events when you can but you won’t be able to go to one every week. Webinars, in comparison, are usually free or, even if they’re not, they will be a fraction of the cost an in-person event will be.
Accessible
Another limitation of in-person events is solved by webinars. A business-changing event might be about to take place but it’s on the other side of the world. You’ve probably lost sleep thinking about all the potential opportunities you missed because the event you need to attend isn’t a feasible distance away.
Webinars are accessible to everyone. No matter where you live or what timezone you live in, webinars can be joined live from anywhere and accessed via recording even after the event has passed.
Interactive
The accessibility of webinars goes further when you consider the interactivity of the virtual events. Webinars include features such as live chats, dedicated Q&A sessions and even polls for you to have your say and ask your questions. These features can be especially beneficial if you’re someone who is not comfortable speaking up in front of other people.
Even if you’re watching the webinar after the live event has taken place, accessing the chat will give you answers to the questions you weren’t able (or maybe didn’t even think) to ask. You will also gain access to vital learning materials such as worksheets, templates, slide decks and whitepapers.
Important to stay updated
Industry trends can disappear as quickly as they appear. You need to learn how to stay on top of and use these trends to your advantage. Webinars will do most of the hard work for you. Not only do they provide updates on what you should be focusing on right now, but they are a source you can access again and again for this information.
Webinars will cut through the noise directly to the relevant parts of any trend or topic. Then, they will also tell you how can use them to further the success of your business.
A way to connect with industry thought leaders
Webinars connect you with industry experts from all over the world, people you otherwise might never have met in person. This means you have the opportunity to connect with and learn from these thought leaders, all thanks to the webinar you attended.
Webinars offer learning opportunities that go much further than the event itself.
