Are you trying to get the word out about your event or cause? Maybe you want to spread the word about your products and services. Either way, teleseminars can be of great help. Here’s why and how.

So you want people to know about your event or business. Of course, you can do all the usual stuff, from tweeting to blogging to letting people know on Facebook, and you should.

You can also do some of the expensive stuff, like Google AdWords or other paid advertising.

And you can trust word of mouth.

But there’s one way you can really boost your visibility: teleseminars (and webinars). And here’s why and how.

Why first: Teleseminars are events. And you can invite people to events, especially if they are free. And there are plenty of opportunities to promote free events, online and offline.

These are some of the main ones:

1) Teleseminar Ad Services

There are several teleseminar ad services. Most of them have websites where they list teleseminars. There are also some that send email announcements about upcoming teleseminars.

Most of them are free, but some offer paid upgrades. If you accept their upgrade offers, carefully track how many registrations you get through those upgrades to determine if they’re worth it.

2) Classified Ads

Some classifieds charge a much lower rate for free events, making teleseminars the perfect lead generation strategies.

Pick an engaging theme, advertise your teleseminar, and send it to a signup page.

3) Social media events

Both Facebook and LinkedIn offer a way to create events, and teleseminars definitely rank.

Once again, make sure you create a compelling theme, and then use these event features to get the word out.

4) Tweet it

Of course, there is also Twitter. People on Twitter respond well to cool offers of free stuff. So let them know about your event. Tweet about it throughout the day (within reason), and be sure to provide something of value while you’re doing it.

Don’t just tell them to sign up for your teleseminar, but also give them a few tips while you’re at it, with the promise of more to come.

5) Press releases

Since your teleseminar is an event, it’s news. And with that, it’s perfect press release fodder. should you pay If getting the word out quickly and getting featured in Google News is important to you, you really should consider it. Try a couple of services and see which one works best. So build on that.

As you can see, teleseminars are a great tool for getting the word out about what you do and building your list at the same time.
