If you Blog or Tweet, maybe you should Webcast too…



As an avid blogger or Tweeter, you obviously have something unique and important to say, and on a regular basis. You’ve built up, (or are in the process of building), a global audience of like-minded individuals. You post, they comment, they follow, they Retweet. But how strong is that connection?

Most of today’s social media tools enable anyone to be publisher, to post content or broadcast out. There are so many new tools, and many new ways to do create your pallete. Webcasts, a well established presentation and lead generation tool, can help bring your audience together, to have a dialogue, share and interact all in one place. One to one, one to many, many to many… Your virtual water cooler.

Here are some of the many benefits I see to producing a webcast, that exhibit social media qualities

• Communicate with people around the world (talk and type)
• Share info such as ideas, photos, videos, graphics, documents
• Share desktops
• Interact with polls and surveys
• Valuable shelf life as On Demand content

As a marketing tool, webcasts have other key benefits…

• Low cost
• DIY (Do-it-Yourself)
• Measurable
• Lead Generator
• Profitable

Now I can understand if webcasting seems a bit daunting. I usually hear a few objections, such as

• Too complicated
• Too much work
• Takes too much time
• Too expensive
• Too shy
• Not knowledgeable enough
• Not enough contacts
