Webinars are now a critical part of any speaker's strategic arsenal. They can help promote your brand, expand your database and create quality web content for very low costs.

If you are still dreading them, don't know what's involved or why you should bother, check out my webinar on BrightTalk on Tuesday, February 24th  Get more information here

On March 20th, we will be hosting our first ever "6 Weeks to a Great Webinar" online training. In this 90 minute session you'll learn:

I got into the webinar business by doing marketing webinars for my last employer... and love doing them. I also get a big charge out of helping our clients use these tools to level the playing field and get their stories out to the world.

We have captured years of best practices in a single workbook and coaching methodology now. "6 Weeks to a Great Webinar" is a 75 page workbook that forms the spine of our coaching methodology.

I was really honored to be interviewed by Ken Gaebler for his Entrepeneur Stories website.  There are a lot of terrific interviews with folks starting businesses in these weird times.

You can read the full interview here.

For entrepeneurs who are trying to expand their marketing or grow into other markets and don't have feet on the ground...webmeetings make a great weapon in your arsenal.

One of my favorite Silicon Valley blogs is "Life Beyond Code", from my friend Rajesh Setty. It's always inspiring and gives me a kick in the pants when needed. Imagine my surprise then, when he wanted to interview me for his site.

Web conferencing provider Dimdim has asked me to present a webinar to kick off their "Freedom" Webinar series. It's called "The Freedom to Manage- Guerilla Managing Your Remote Team Your Way".

I was playing with an idea the other day and this is the result, a 7-minute overview of Why Web Demos Suck- And What You Can Do About It.

Check it out. If you think we're saying something your team needs to hear, drop us a line.

I am a frequent user of LinkedIn (my profile is here... go ahead, link in.. I'd be honored) and recently asked folks there this question:

Have you ever been on the receiving end of a bad software demo, especially on the web? What has the presenter done to lose the business?

I spent some time recently talking to Cameron Reilly, host of the top-rated podcast in Australia- G'day World. We chat about the creation of Greatwebmeetings, why Second Life will probably never catch on in business (my opinion not his, but he's an uber-geek)

In the first 30 minutes, you'll learn a lot about our approach to web meetings, some research that supports our approach and have some laughs.

Lisa Haneberg interviewed me recently and we talked Web Meetings among other things.

If you haven't read Lisa Haneberg's Management Craft blog, you've really missed out on something. She's a terrific and thoughtful writer. I have been lucky to have her on my podcast, The Cranky Middle Manager, on several occasions but this time she turned the tables and interviewed me!
