Are you a fan of teleseminars? I am, in fact, I am such a fan that I attend as many as six of them each week, in a variety of elements. You might find me simply attending a teleseminar or there as a guest or host. Why do I spend so much time each week attending these types of seminars? Because I have come up with a way to somehow benefit from every single one and I'd like to share some of my techniques, giving you the same benefits.

1. Before I sign up for any teleseminar I make sure that I carefully read the announcement or sales letter first. If the speaker or the topic of the seminar is not of interest to me, there is no point in wasting my time. Therefore, I make sure that I read it very carefully, so I know what I am expecting when I arrive.

2. Don't be afraid to take advantage of the multitude of complimentary teleseminars being offered. Yes, each will end with a sales pitch. But I consider 55 minutes of great content worth the 5 minute commercial. Certainly can't get that trade-off on TV!

3. If they ask for questions before the teleseminar, send in a question. No matter how hard you have to think, come up with a good question. Many times the host is looking for good questions to get the discussion started, especially at the start of a call, so your question is more likely to be used on the air if you get it in early.

That means that if they use your question your name will be mentioned on the call. This is no cost publicity! Not only will the live audience hear your name, but everyone who listens to the replay will hear it, too. That can be years of PR.

Why should this matter to you? Remember, a teleseminar is not personal, names are the only thing any person in attendance has to go by. Therefore, for the most part they hear the names of the experts, such as the guests and hosts. However, if they hear your name, you are immediately thought of as an expert. The more you do this, the more people will get to know you and recognize the name immediately; this is a good reputation builder.

4. Testimonials can work wonders for you. It is important, whether you are asked to leave a testimonial or not that you do so and do it quickly, immediately after the event has ended. Why? Because after the event, the host is ready to go, in fact, is almost immediately putting up their follow-up site. If you get yours in right away, there is a good chance that it gets posted to the site and more exposure for you.

You want to make sure that the testimonial is a good one. Get specific, do not be vague. Mention something specific about the teleseminar that stuck out in your mind. This is a way for you to get exposure, because that testimonial will include your website address, title, and name.

5. Many hosts of teleseminars will offers you the ability to become an affiliate or part of their resale program. This is generally a great idea for you because you are in a good position. You just went through the seminar, you wrote a great review, now all at that is left is you to let other people know about it. The testimonial that you wrote could be a great starting point for your own sales copy.

So the next time you sign up for a teleseminar, look upon it as a marketing opportunity!
