I'll start off with saying webinars are A LOT of work if you're selling direct to cart. So it's Friday, I can lift my head up from the initial launch (have another live one Saturday). For context, I've been working on a webinar for a while for our publishing partner. And I mean...a while. Thought I had the original draft after I created it with Claude only for it to be complete and utter garbage. So I burned that down and started from scratch. The messy middle of learning something new is messy. But I wanted to go deep into the trenches of running a good webinar. And the other day, was definitely a success. Had 220+ people live and 41K collected in backend sales without calls. Not a bad start even when the screen was so blurry you couldn't see the finer text and a whole range of tech stuff went wrong 😂 So for simplicity here I'm going to break down what worked and what sucked. What We Need To Get Better At: First Creating Webinars FASTER My gosh, webinars! In the end, the content and everything for the webinar was absolutely 🔥 But at the same time...it took so damn long to build. Learning from Jason Fladlin's program, who's one of the best at webinars, he scripts out all of his webinars and THEN turns it into slides. My idea was to use AI to do a huge chunk of this and honestly it cost me more time than it was worth. Simply because the voice came out wrong, a bunch of stuff wasn't true and it didn't flow well. It just made a bunch of stuff up and even though I was using literally the best Claude models, it still just didn't work well. I would say AI is probably really damn good here if you're trying to bullet something out and rant. Also way more forgiving if you're booking calls or lower ticket price. But we wanted folks giving us 3K paid in full of the webinar to a luke warm/cold audience. My partner and I frantically going through the deck after 2 referrals updating things making it better until late into the night to rock it. However looking back, know EXACTLY how I would do it in 1/4 the time now if I ever had to do one again.
