One of the most effective ways to market your webinar is on Facebook. It has over 2 billion users and is one of the most popular social media platforms, making it a great place to start your webinar marketing campaign.
You can use your personal Facebook page, a business Facebook page, or even a group to promote your webinar. You can also use a live streaming tool like Facebook Live to broadcast your webinar, which will help build brand awareness and increase registrations.
Using your personal profile, business page, or group to create a webinar event is easy and can be done in a few steps. Just go to the event page in your Facebook newsfeed, and fill out all the necessary information, including a cover photo that will show up as an image when people click on your event in their newsfeed.
In addition, it is also important to add some basic information on the event page, such as the event presenters, their achievements, and a few publications about the event’s program and benefits. It is important that you provide enough details on the event to spark interest in your audience and encourage them to register for it.
Promoting your webinar on Facebook requires a bit of effort and patience. It takes time to get good results, and you’ll have to test out different strategies. But it is definitely worth it.
Once you’ve determined a strategy, start promoting your webinar on Facebook in the same way you would your other advertising channels. This will allow you to measure the results of your efforts and find the best formula for success.
Make your Facebook Ad Visual and Focussed
As you would with any ad, you should make your webinar’s benefit clear in your ad and on your landing page. Be sure to keep your copy short and focused, as well. If your ad is too long, it may be difficult for the reader to understand what you are selling them.
Be sure to use images and a clear call to action in your ad, and be consistent with your messaging across your ad, landing page, and your email campaigns. In general, Facebook recommends using less text in your ads than you would in your organic posts.
Consider Creating Video for Your Webinar
If you have a product or service that is highly relevant to your audience, consider putting together a promotional video. This will not only attract more eyeballs to your event, it will also increase engagement, which is key to driving registrations and sales.
A video will also improve your SEO. This will give your webinar the added boost it needs to rank on Google’s search engine.
Try using your webinar hashtag and post about it on your social media accounts. This will also help you engage with your audience before, during, and after the event.
Then, when your event is over, share a recap and a link to sign up for the full webinar, allowing you to build a list of new subscribers and registrants!
