Press Release Body = Web Conference Rooms are made for live interactive communication. If you are just getting started hosting conferences it might seem like a tough road ahead to draw a live audience to listen to what you have to say. Here are some tips to get participants into your web conference rooms.
1. Schedule your conference on a consistent day and time so that your audience knows when to join you.
2. Choose an interesting and descriptive web conference name so that people who might be interested will "get it" just from the title.
3. Always have at least two future web conferences scheduled so that when one show finishes, your listeners know when to join you again.
4. Publicize the regular day + time + time-zone of your live web conference everywhere possible. Put it in your blog, in your email signature, on message boards and forums, on your MySpace page, etc., and have your friends do the same.
5. Build a list of friends and participants to invite to every episode.
6. Remember many of your listeners will hear your recorded web conference before they discover your live web conference room. During your web conference recording, tell those \"off-line\" listeners when your web conference is live (e.g., "Join us live on Wednesdays at 9:00 PM Eastern Time.") and highlight the benefits of joining live (e.g., "You can text chat with other listeners.").
7. During your live web conference, let them know how to contact you frequently. When people contact you with questions or compliments, ask them to subscribe to your web conference room notices.
8. Recruit interesting guests and have live contests and giveaways - give your listeners a reason to join live and to interact!
9. Keep in mind that participating can be intimidating. Encourage people to move from listening off-line, to listening live, to chatting, to talking. It may take time.
10. Have fun and be entertaining! People will want to join you again and again. For the host, and for listeners, it\'s fun to connect with people that you like; people who share your interests.
I know this may seem like a long list of to do things just to get people into your web conference room. My question to you is how bad do you want to have a successful web conference? If you want it bad enough you will do the things required to be a success.
