Do you finish what you start?

Maybe you have this open loop or maybe you have this thing that you've always wanted to do. Maybe it's always been something that's been on your vision board or maybe it's been on the periphery, but I think at this point in our lives, at our midlife, we can see that we have limited time left and that pushes us to finish the things that we've always wanted to do.

If you need proof that it's possible listen to my interview with Saundra Boyd. She had always wanted to go back to school to complete her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. And at the age of 57 finished what she started (after being a registered nurse for 42 years). Then she started her business at age 59.  

While the business wasn't a plan (or a dream) it came about because Saundra was willing to say yes and understood that at this point in our lives, we have faced enough challenges to know that if we can just keep pushing through that good things are on the other side.

Would you like to use webinars in your business, but you're not sure which platform to use? In this episode of Quick Fix Friday, I'm going to dive into which features to consider when choosing a webinar platform and recommend some of my favorite webinar platforms.

Features I review when choosing a webinar platform: 

✔️Price - you want to balance the price with the features of the platforms

✔️Registration Page - Can it be customized to showcase you and your brand

✔️Attendees / Panelists - Know how many you want and expect as pricing might be affected by the response. Also, there may be other limitations in these features you need to consider.

✔️Live / On-demand webinars - Which are you looking to host? Is it available on the platform?

✔️Accommodate the Facebook Pixel - Do you plan to run ads for your webinar? If so you will need to be able to add your pixel to the registration and thank you pages.

4 Webinar Platforms Suggestions: 

✨ Zoom - https://explore.zoom.us/en/products/webinars/

✨ ClickMeeting - https://clickmeeting.com/

✨ Demio - https://demio.com/?fp_ref=andrea32

✨ Webinar Jam - http://webinarjam.com/

Would you like to grow your business with webinars? During my interview with Dr. Edward, the Healing Vet we discussed how he grew his digital business using webinars and there were a few things that he did that stood out to me that I wanted to share:

✔️ Instead of changing webinars, Dr. Edward produces the same webinar each time. If it reaches your audience repeatedly, there is no need to complicate it. 

✔️ Because he used the same webinar each time, it is easier to test, tweak, and diagnose any problems that arise. 

✔️ He is committed to continuous learning and implementation. He tries different strategies and invests strategically in his growth. 

Since I have had the pleasure of helping him as he's grown I've had other takeaways so tune in to learn more.
