Webinars are now becoming the new choice in web conferencing. Accessible to almost anyone with an internet connection, a webinar will allow you to hold interactive meetings as many times as you need to at practically no cost. Compare that to the time, travel and conference halls expenses you're used to, and suddenly someone's bottom line is a little healthier!

The key to holding a successful webinar is in the preparation. While technically quite easy to pull off and inexpensive enough for anyone claiming to be in business to afford, holding a successful webinar is not a sure thing. You need to remember that while you're not on stage directly in front of them, you're still very much in the spotlight, and all the things that would apply in a traditional presentation still matter here. You need to be very prepared, with no fumbling or stumbling over your material. Your reach may extend even further with a webinar than a traditional event, and if it's recorded, (as it should be!) it can be a marketing tool for some time to come.

In terms of promoting your webinar start early! Invariably things will come up and you'll be better of than starting a few days before your event. Make sure you have your squeeze page ready, your autoresponder loaded. Make it as easy as possible on your guests and present them with good material, and you'll have them begging for more. If you're holding the webinar with a well-known or busy speaker, be sure to book their time as early as possible and give them all the material they need to be as well-versed as you when the time comes to present the webinar.

Deciding on the visuals you need for your webinar is something best not left to the last minute either. A great Powerpoint or video presentation takes some time to prepare, so get to it!

Most webinar hosting companies will have all the technical bells and whistles you'll need. Costs are extremely affordable and within reach of the smallest of businesses. The decision on whether to charge for the event is up to you, and will need to decide if it's worth it to make a few bucks up front. Personally, unless you're revealing extremely valuable information on the webinar it generally should be free, especially when trolling for sales prospects.

A webinar in the right hands is a thing of beauty. Get your head out of the sand and skyrocket your businesses fortunes with the frequent use of webinars!

Whether if it's an assignment you present or a product you promote, a good presentation can give a great first impression! Here are 10 important things to be aware of during your presentation:

1. Reading the text on the slides What's the main reason for you to use a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation? To illustrate what you're saying, to give yourself a good outline for your presentation, or to spice up your words with some flashy graphics? Whatever the reason, make sure you don't literally read what's on the slide. Doing that will eliminate the need for the slides to be there in the first place.
2. Speaking towards the screen This is directly connected to the first point. When you read what's on the slides you have to turn your head towards the screen. This doesn't only make it less interesting to watch, it also projects your voice in the wrong direction, causing it to sound muffled. While projecting your voice towards the audience they will also be able to see the expression on your face, making it easier for them to understand and stay focused.
3. Skipping seemingly uninteresting slides It's important to have the right timing for your presentation. You don't want to discover that you don't have enough time to show everything, and then having to decide on the spots which slides are less important so you can skip them to save time. It will give your audience the impression you didn't have enough time to prepare.
4. Hurrying through slides without explanation The right timing will also prevent you from having to rush trough slides while only explaining them half. Don't expect people to understand what you show. Make sure you won't have to explain what your slides are about; Make sure they support your words.
5. Showing too much text on the slides This list is not made in a specific order, but this might be the most important thing to avoid during a presentation, and also the mistake people make the most. Make sure your slides are illustrations for what you have to say. Don't put the actual information on them. If you expect people to read what's there don't blame them for not listening to you.
6. Using small or fancy fonts Reducing the font size is often done to fit more text on a slide. Bad practice; look at point 5. Also be aware of the readability of your text. Using fancy fonts may make your slides look nicer, but can you still read them in the back of the room?
7. Spelling mistakes There's no need for spelling mistakes, as there's a spelling checker available in every piece of software. A simple thing to do, that will make you look much better.
8. Reading everything from your notes Don't read the information from the slides, but also try not to read everything from your notes. Try to stay in contact with your audience. If you know what you're talking about a short list with keywords should be enough to keep your story going.
9. Starting without a clear opening Especially when you're talking about a certain subject for the first time, it's important for your audience to know what you are talking about. So don't dive right in to your story, take your time to introduce the subject and your motivation to talk about it.
10. Using complex graphics, charts or screen shots If there's a real need to show complex graphics and charts you could print them and hand them out on paper. Putting them on a slide will probably not make things clearer as they will be difficult to read and there will not be enough time to analyze and understand them. Only show the results, and just explain how you came to them.
