  • [01:09] Eric recently looked at old content and repurposed some of it for a webinar.

  • [01:52] Check out SlideShare to see what the most popular presentations are.
  • [02:18] You need to figure out how to transition people into leads or sales.

  • [03:20] Your pitch must be relevant to the topic covered in your webinar.

  • [05:20] When you establish urgency, it causes people to take action.
  • [05:37] Make sure to tease offers at the beginning of your webinar, so viewers will stay until the end.
