Almost every human attending your webinar would have a problem they are looking to solve through your webinar.

So, why not solve their problems? This would help you understand what problems your audience is facing and also allow you to demonstrate your expertise.

For example, if you are an expert in the digital marketing industry, you can collect websites from the audience before the event starts. The experts would then audit the sites and point out the users’ mistakes.

4. Conduct Speed Networking

“Networking is not about just connecting people. It’s about connecting people with people, people with ideas, and people with opportunities.” — Michele Jennae

If you have ever attended a typical webinar, you might have seen that in most of them, only experts talk with each other. Others simply present a PowerPoint presentation. That audience gets fewer to no chances to engage.

Worst of all, even with so many experts from the world attending the event, the organizers forget about the ‘networking part.’ Imagine standing beside Jeff Bezos and not talking with him. That’s a lifetime opportunity you will be missing.

Now that you know this issue, let’s address it. According to a study, over 70% of webinar attendees attend the events due to networking opportunities. This means if you provide them with networking opportunities, you know this 70% will attend and engage with your webinar.

So, how do you implement networking with your webinars? Here are a few ideas:

Leverage speed networking within a mobile event app. Here the audience gets a few minutes to introduce themselves to experts. However, you can add a personal touch through prompts to make it more enjoyable. So, instead of a simple introduction, let them talk about their dreams and goals in life.
Host A Virtual Happy Hour: A virtual happy hour is a convenient way to break the monotonous tone of webinars and add a twist. It’s an ideal way to gather everyone and discuss things that matter to them. You can set up themes like career advancements. Eventually, the audience will be able to chat together and share their experiences.

If your audience is students, the virtual debate would be one of the best ways to conduct a webinar. After all, there’s nothing like a good debate to engage the busy minds of students and bring out a hidden genius.

Before starting the event, you can choose some interesting webinar topics for students so they can prepare for the debate.

Here are a few ideas for debate:

Debatestorming. Divide your audience into groups. Each group gets a debate topic that they have to discuss in chat. And then have to justify their opinion in 60 seconds! E.g., Women are better leaders.
Devil’s Advocate: At one point in our lives, we have argued for a point we knew was wrong. In this, students get a chance to take the opposite view of the fact. They don’t have to believe in what they are saying, but rather generate a debate and support the topic with an argument. For instance, Opposing the view ‘Social Media: A Curse of 21st Century ’.
