How Can Webinars Make YOU Money?

Let me tell you a little bit about how I got into webinars. I owned a remodeling company in Bryan / College Station, Texas for 20 years, and then I decided to attend Seminary. I’m 2000 miles from home in a strange place with no job, and I’ve got to figure out how to make a full time income in my part time while I’m going to Seminary.

So I turned to the internet and created my first info product, which was basically nothing more than finding kind of an abandoned meeting space. A car dealership wasn’t using their meeting space anymore. At least it had electricity and a bathroom. I invited a bunch of teens and their parents to a live workshop. I held a two or three – maybe it was three or four – one hour workshops with them, and I video-taped it. 

That was my first product. 

I laid the recordings down on DVDs and here were some of my issues: We sold a lot at first. We would go to home school book shows and sell some, but I had problems getting sales after the initial launch. I had problems with getting consistent sales each and every week, and I had problems breaking into new markets.

Somebody told me, “Hey Steve, you need a higher price product. I mean you’re only selling $97 DVD series.” I still sell that DVD course, “How To Start Your Own Business . . . for Families & Teens” to this date. It’s really under priced because it’s an eight hour workshop, only for $97. I bet some of you even have it. 

At that time, I decided I needed a higher price product. So I created “8 Weeks to Profits” which is a $800 home study course. That’s quite a bit more than that $97 DVD, but I still had problems getting sales after the initial launch.

I had a great launch with 8 Weeks to Profits. We sold over $50,000 in the first week that we launched it. I owe a lot of that credit to Jeff Walker; I bought his Product Launch Formulaand followed it like a recipe to have a great launch. But I had problems getting sales after the initial launch. I had problems getting consistent sales each week.  I had  problems breaking into new markets. Does that sound like a broken record? It’s the same problems that I had with my $97 DVD. 

Here was the solution!

Using webinars saved this product and solved all my problems of getting more sales, getting sales consistently and automatically each and every week, and tapping into new markets.

Webinars allowed me to make a six figure income, in my part time, while I was attending seminary. That’s a pretty amazing feat – not because I’m that smart. I’ll be quite honest with you. I am not the sharpest tool in the shed – so I was struggling to go through seminary because I hadn’t been in college or in school in 20 years. Here I am going to Seminary, reading all these thick, thick books, and trying to make a living and be a dad, and a husband, and everything else at the same time. 

Webinars became the key to making a really good income in my part time. 

So what about you? 

• Do you have a product of your own to sell?
• If you’re already selling a product or service, do you need to increase your sales? 
• Do you need more consistent sales – week in and week out? 
• Are you running ragged trying to get in front of people that will be interested in your service or product – you just can’t get to all of them – geographically it’s not possible, there’s just not enough of you. 
• Do you just wish you could clone yourself to talk to all the people you need to talk to, in order to make more sales and make a better income? 
• Are you interested in tapping into new markets? 

If any of these things are true then you really need to consider using webinars.
