Disadvantages
- No actual engagement since this is canned
- You may be talking about stuff that isn’t all that interesting to the viewer
- Paid webinars carry huge pressure to pack “above and beyond” value or else your brand might suffer

- Shoot your video
- Do outreach / promo
- Setup appointment setting system

- Highlights your expertise
Disadvantages

- You have to be quick on your feet and you must be personable enough
Step by Step Guide
