That’s my jam
We live in the knowledge economy, and everyone has something to bring to the table. Maybe it’s business experience, maybe it’s creative vision, maybe it’s some super random third thing, but regardless of niche, the world needs what you have to offer.
Perhaps you’ve thought about sharing your ideas with the world, but you just don’t know where to begin. Well, then you’ve come to the right place. We’re all about helping with beginnings here. It’s kind of our thing.
In today’s article, we’ll be taking a deep dive into WebinarJam, one of the internet’s best webinar content hosting platforms. With it, you can design, curate, and sell your very own master class—based on literally whatever you want. Now, we know that sometimes Jamm can be bad:
But we promise this isn’t one of those times.
Spread the Jam
At its core, WebinarJam is a cloud-based video broadcasting platform that allows businesses and creators to reach a wide audience of potential clients. Quite wide, actually—up to 5,000 people per presentation.
Thankfully, you won’t have to sacrifice digital performance for audience size. WebinarJam broadcast your class session in 1080p HD video with crystal clear audio. All you need is a decent internet connection, a webcam, and some hutzpah—WebinarJam will take care of the rest.
And no need to worry about frozen screens or choppy feeds, WebinarJam’s enormous back-end data systems provide more than enough bandwidth to ensure your class enjoys a silky-smooth streaming experience.
What types of Jam?
WebinarJam offers both fresh and pickled jams, or more accurately, live and archived webinars. The Live webinars are, well—live—so we’ll assume you have a good idea of what that looks like. You’re sharp, you read Triumph after all.
To spice up your live session, WebinarJam also allows live chat and polling options to help keep the audience engaged. But—fear not—these features can also be mimicked in archived sessions, that way your audience members watching on replay will feel just as engaged as the live crowd.
If you’d like a happy medium between live and recorded, the platform also allows video interjections into your live webinar session. Essentially, you’ll be able to prerecord as much of your webinar as you wish and run it during a live session. We’ve found this feature can be extremely effective for hosts looking to run a pre-recorded presentation followed by a live Q&A session.
You can even use WebinarJam’s Flexible Scheduling features to create a system tailored to your specific vision.. Want to just do the occasional live session? Perfect. Looking to create something more episodic? Amazing. Want to set up automated series? You’ve come to the right place.
Where can I Jam?
WebinarJam likes to call itself “device-agnostic,” which is a fancy way of saying the software works on everything! Your audience can tune in on their phones, laptops, tablets, smart refrigerators—anything with a screen and an open internet connection.
What can I Jam?
Need to share a PowerPoint presentation? Good, that feels very professional, and WebinarJam can help you out with that. Their live and recorded session interfaces allow for all sorts of types of collaboration. Feel free to screen share and organize with up to six separate hosts. Give a lecture, host a panel, or do some fun third thing. Whatever kind of class you’re envisioning, WebinarJam can help you bring it to life.
Frequently on the go? No problem at all. WebinarJam also allows hosts to join from a mobile app, so you can connect with your fellow presenters from anywhere. Even space, reportedly.
Can I brand my Jam?
If you’re looking to create a brand or company identity through your webinars, WebinarJam can help with that too. The platform allows users to build custom landing pages for their classes, so your audience will feel like they’re going directly to your site rather than to a third-party hosting platform.
You’ll also be able to keep your audience up-to-date with WebinarJam’s email and SMS texting automation. Let your people know when you’re going live, when a new installment is available, or even when you’ve found a good meme. Maybe not as often on that third one, but it’s still allowed.
Sell Jam within your Jam.
Users also have the ability to launch a live product offer directly inside their webinar. That’s right, Jam-ception. Audience members will be able to purchase your good or service from the onscreen promotional. No more messing with clunky links or external web pages. Bring your offer directly to an engaged customer base, there’s nothing better for the old conversion rate.
You’ll also be able to upload free handouts or promotional materials directly to your audience members, if you’re into that kind of thing.
Can I charge for my Jam?
Of course, friend, of course. We wouldn’t be having this discussion if you couldn’t. WebinarJam allows multiple payment processing systems if you’d like to put your webinar registration behind a paywall. You retain full control over how much—and how often—users will have to pay to see your webinar.
If you’re instead looking to generate leads from your webinars, you can also make attendance free and then focus on selling something within your webinar, a strategy more akin to the jam-ception we discussed above.
Crowd Control Jam
As you would hope from any public-facing platform, WebinarJam also includes a robust arsenal of analytics and crowd-control features. If attendees get unruly—or internet connections are temporarily disrupted—WebinarJam comes with all sorts of tools to restore order.
How much is this Jam?
Like most tech products in this space, WebinarJam offers several tiered subscription plans. We usually recommend the Starter Plan for most triumphers. Coming in at $39 per month, it packs a more than sufficient punch and offers just about every feature we outlined above, without breaking the bank. As your venture grows, consider upgrading to the platform’s higher tiers for greater webinar length and design flexibility.
Get retro Jammed
If you’re looking to generate leads or think your expertise would make a compelling masterclass, WebinarJam might just be the place for you. They’ve been featured on NBC, ABC, CBS—all the acronyms—so they’re not exactly an unproven platform. The world needs what you have to say, so give it to them—with WebinarJam. And when you do, shoot us the link. We’d be happy to attend—and maybe stir up some trouble in the comments.
