Trying to record your webinar?

I can give you a few tips, but before I do, let me explain why you would even want to record it at all.

- Replays

There will be some people who are interested in your products even though they couldn’t come to your initial webinar. So recording it and allowing potential customers to replay it could generate more sales and more leads to other customers.

- Product Creation

A webinar recording makes a great stand-alone product when you upload it to a password protected site or burn it to a CD.

- Training Module

This one is related to “product creation” above. Record a webinar so you can add the recording to an existing product or perhaps extra training on a specific topic. You could even record webinars and use them as bonuses to give away with the purchase of one of your major products.

So, how to record a webinar?

Although your web hosting company may allow you to record, you will still want to record your webinar yourself as a backup. It’s possible you may even end up with a better recording.

Step 1: Login into your webinar host as the organizer and start your webinar

Step 2: With a second computer, log in again to your webinar but this time as an attendee.

The second computer needs to have screen capture software such as Camtasia so that you can capture your webinar that is now showing on the screen. Screen capture software will capture all of the video and audio from your webinar – and allow you to turn it into whatever file type you need.

Step 3: On your second computer that is recording your webinar, set your screen parameters and audio settings and hit “record.”

Also, follow these technical tricks: set your audio to record “inline.” Use a 1/8″ to 1/8 audio jack so that the computer records only the webinar and not your voice coming through from the second computer. This way you can be in the same room with the computer that’s recording your presentation.

But if you plug one end of the 1/8″ cable into the mic jack and the other end of the 1/8″ cable into the headphone jack, you can set the recording computer right next to you and even see in real time what your attendees are seeing. This helps with lag problems and is a great safety check when presenting live.

Step 4: When finished recording, render the file either to burn to a CD or for uploading to the Internet.

You can also spice up your recording by adding music on the front end and back end. Make sure to use royalty-free so you don’t get in trouble. You can also add a “call to action” on the web page that has your webinar replay. This way, they don’t have far to go when they watch your replay and want to buy!

Recording your webinars is easy and can be extremely profitable. Give it a try and watch your sales increase by leaps and bounds.
