Producing an Audio Transcription of Your Teleseminar
A teleseminar is basically your ordinary seminar brought to the telephone lines. In your ordinary seminar, you will need to book a venue, feed your guests or participants, book your speakers, pay for your speakers’ transportation costs, ensure that your speakers are comfortable, get all your speakers’ presentations in order to make copies for the audience, and ensure that everything that you planned is indeed proceeding smoothly.Thanks to technology and advances in communication research, however, you can now have people gather virtually: they can get to their telephones, dial a number, and listen to your presenters over the phone.
This can make it cheaper for you to hold a seminar, but it also entails additional work for you. First, you will need to book speakers who are engaging, have great voices and can carry through what will be a phone speech to a lot of people. You will also need to have the infrastructure in order to do this: a telesminar will need a bridge line, which will allow a lot of people to contact you.
Second, you also need to have a question and answer portion to your event, as with most seminars, and this can be difficult to control if your questions come over the phone and you cannot see if the questioner is most likely disruptive. Third, you need to record everything that happens, and you will therefore need transcription equipment to carry your work out.
An audio transcription of your teleseminar will allow you to not only keep records of what happens, but give you a chance to see how your future teleseminars can be developed and improved. Moreover, an audio transcription can be valuable to people outside your company: it can be used as a basis for research in communication, as a way to substantiate reports of progress to your donors, and as a method of informing your clients on developments in your products and services and how you have addressed any issues put forth by your target audience.
Here are a few tips for producing your audio transcription:
- First, you need to understand that you need to record your event, and you need to take the details of the teleseminar down. This means that you will need to plan your event not just for what happens before and during, but way after. Who are you going to hire to transcribe the teleseminar? How much time are you going to give the transcriber to finish the transcription?
- Settle the names of your speakers early on so that you do not have to keep on checking back with spellings.
- Be accustomed to the unique voices of your speakers. When you get hold of the audio file, you may not be able to distinguish amongst voices if you do not know your speakers well enough.
- If you have a budget, shoot a video of the teleseminar (note that this is useful only if you have all your speakers in one room). If you cannot distinguish among voices in the teleseminar, or if you cannot make out the words, you might be able to consult the video and see if you can improve your transcript.
- Know your agenda by heart and have it next to you as you do your transcription. This can actually help you distinguish what is being said if you have an idea what is going on.
- Do not be afraid to ask for help from your speakers. Touch base with them early on and ask if they can be contacted for assistance if their voices come out garbled on the recording.
- Check all audio recording equipment a day or two before the teleseminar to make sure that they are working.

Marketing Your Products Through Teleseminars
You may be having a hard time marketing your products through the Internet, especially if there aspects to your products that you cannot explain. Now, imagine how much harder to market services are: are you a massage specialist, hair stylist, or even a professor or lecturer hoping to make a killing online?
It can be hard to convince people to avail of your services if you do not have concrete proof of your abilities, and so much harder if you do not talk to them personally. Websites can be great in featuring products and how they look, but they can be quite impersonal when you need to talk to people and address their needs.
One way for you to get over this hurdle is to conduct a teleseminar. Basically, a teleseminar is a seminar that is conducted over the telephone. This keeps you from having to go through the long, costly process of booking a venue for your activity, feeding your guests, and giving them either free samples or paraphernalia.
It also gives your guests the chance to hear what you have to say without them having to leave their homes. On both sides of the knowledge divide, there are advantages, and if you have a product, you can use the advantages of teleseminars in order to get your word across.
All that you need is a bridge line to allow a lot of people to listen to you. The people who need to listen to you need only a telephone number as well as an access code in order to listen to your seminar. If you are going to market a product, a teleseminar can be great: it can allow you to answer questions and address issues that you might not have anticipated had you not consulted your target market. If you are going to market your product through a teleseminar, here are a few tips that you may want to take into account:
- Have you ever heard the expression that if you smile, you can tell over the phone? Keep this in mind as you conduct the seminar. You need to appear enthusiastic (but not overeager) and you need to appear as though you are made happy by your own product. If you can’t be happy because of your own product, who else can be made happy by it?
- If you are going to create a network marketing scheme around your product, you can also use your teleseminars to train the people that you hope will sell your product. Teleseminars have been used for training, and you can use this aspect of the teleseminar not only in selling your product at first, but in sustaining sales.
For instance, if your product requires special training to be used, then you might conduct a teleseminar in order to get people to learn how to use it. You may also conduct follow up training for all the updates that you make to your product.
- Sustain your sales by having teleseminars constantly: this can allow you to keep in touch with your customers, and it can polish off your reputation as someone who cares about customers more than sales. You can have teleseminars that are useful to your target market, but mention your product only briefly. This way, you can still market your product without appearing like a hard-selling salesperson.
- Always provide information on where people can buy your product, and what they can get out of it. Moreover, be persuasive in telling people that they should get the product.

TeleSeminar Profit Systems - How You Can Make Money With Free TeleSeminars
Teleseminars are a great way to regularly reach your prospects and clients. Before we talk about doing teleseminars, I must ask you three questions in order to see if you qualify to do teleseminars.
Do you have a mouth and a voice?
Do you have a message?
Do you have a telephone?
If you have a mouth and a voice, a message, and a phone, then you can do teleseminars! This is one of the many powerful secrets I learned from Alex Mandossian, my teleseminar mentor.
Making Money with Free TeleSeminars
Now at this point, you are probably wondering how in the world do I make money with free teleseminars.
Great question, and I hope I can provide a great answer. Let's give it shot.
The simplest and quickest way to do it is to write a great 7 tips article and turn it into a sixty minute teleseminar. In the teleseminar you simply expand on your seven tips.
By providing great information on a teleseminar you can gain a loyal following and your listeners will grow to know, like and trust you. On each teleseminar you then offer your listeners a special deal on one of your products or services.
"But I don't have a product" you may be saying. Find an affiliate product that you believe in offer it to your listeners.
Insider tip: While it is great to have a stream of income with affiliate products, my advice is to never let affiliate products substitute for your own products.
Hold free teleseminars on a regular basis (weekly, monthly, etc) and you can create a loyal following of listeners and a steady stream of income, all from doing teleseminars.

What Skills Should You Have in Producing Teleseminars?
A teleseminar can allow you to market goods and services to people without you having to spend a lot of money. A teleseminar is simply a regular seminar placed over the phone: your speakers and guests will be on the phone lines telling people about what they should be doing, what they should buy and why, and where they should go to buy what they should purchase. Your participants do not need to travel far in order to reach your conference. They simply need to call your special telephone number, enter their authorization or access code, and then listen to your seminar over the phone.Producing a teleseminar, however, also needs you to have a special skill set. First, because the teleseminar is conducted over the telephone and relies on technology, you will need to have some technological know-how in terms of how the technology works. This means that you should know what button does what on your console, what you need to do in order to return a dropped call back into the teleseminar, and troubleshooting. This means that you also have to have the ability to think on your toes just in case something happens during the teleseminar.
In producing the teleseminar itself, you need to have a great sense of what logic to follow in your outline. You need to draw up an outline: you need to know how to tell your customers or clients what you need to tell them in the fewest words and shortest time possible. You need to make efficient use of your time: you cannot have a teleseminar running over an hour or two, as it can be tiring to attend a seminar while cradling a phone to one’s ear. You need to have a sense of how people’s minds work: which speaker should follow which speaker, and how can you best endorse your product or service without sounding like you are desperate for sales?
You also need to have a great nose for networking. This allows you to not only get more people to learn about your product or service offline, but it also gives you the chance to interact with professionals who could spice up your teleseminar and serve as your speakers. A great relationship with people in your line of work can also assure you of more customers, especially if you know how to endorse your products and services to your target market.
You need to have a great voice and modulation if you are the speaker for a teleseminar. Your voice needs to carry through the phone lines. Moreover, you need to be an engaging speaker: listening to a boring speaker over the phone is not only discouraging, but annoying for your prospective customers. If you are not the speaker, but are tasked with looking for speakers, you also need to have an ear for who speaks well and is engaging, all while having a good voice that is suited to teleseminars.
Lastly, you need to have a lot of energy. Putting a teleseminar together can be difficult without the energy of someone who can coordinate people, have technology up and working, and come up with a backup plan if things go wrong (as they usually will when technology is involved).
You also need to be proactive: being reactionary might only lead to panic and a badly concluded teleseminar. For more advice, talk to people who have already produced teleseminars, and learn from every teleseminar you produce so that the next one will be better.
