Host a purchase-driven web

Host a webinar with the aim to sell your products or services while educating your audience at the same time. This is shown to be quite effective if you have the gift of the gap and selling tactics. I have been drawn to purchase from such webinars in the past, but when I view the contents, they are somehow below expectations for some of the products that I had purchased. Perhaps the content does not justify the cost. But then again, these are master sellers and pros in their respective niches. One has to start somewhere as a beginner.

However, by adding value and solving their problem, your audience is more likely to receive your message more willingly. Also make sure your slides include contact details throughout.

Utilise products or services Explainer Videos

For the record, 1/3 of online activity is spent on watching videos. People are more likely to engage with your product or service if there is a video explaining how it works and the benefits it adds to their lives. By using video, you are making it easier for your customer to make a purchasing decision.

1. Keep it Short
