How to reap the full benefit from webinars?

Many webinars are conducted by various individuals or companies. Some are promotional and some are educational. If you want to get the full benefit of webinars that are educational, here is what you need to do.

1. Make sure you have at least a broadband connection. This is vital. If this is not there, you will have issues on audio as well as video.
2. Have a good audio headset. Most of the webinar tools come with VOIP facility so that you can hear the voice using a headset.
3. If you have problem either in audio or video, do not send chat messages to the presenter; simply disconnect and reconnect. This is one of the most commonly faced problems in webinars. 99 people will be happy and one person does not hear the voice and he/she will send repeated chat messages to the presenter.
   
4. Do stay till the end of the webinar. Crux of the topic will be reiterated towards the end. Hence do not drop out in between.
5. Never ask a question to the presenter, that is out of context. That question may be important to you; if it is not relevant to the topic or your timing of asking the question is not right, it will never get answered.
6. Take notes during webinars. This basic thing will take you a long way.
7. Before or after the webinar, read some material in the relevant area. This will enrich your expertise further.
8. The site that provides webinars, will usually provide presentations or other recorded content as well. Use them as needed.
9. If you feel that the person who presents is not giving relevant details for the topic chosen, tell that boldly thru feedback. Do not hesitate. Presenter cannot waste your time.
10. If webinar is good, refer the same to your friends. If you show direction of benefits to others, they will also reciprocate.
