Viv,
These all sound like great teleseminars...I am going to look into them. Thanks for bringing them to the attention of the BizNik community!

Barbara Winter teaches an awesome class on how to become known as an expert in your business industry. I have taken this class and found it to be extremely good and useful. I wanted to let you all know that she will be doing her "A Dozen Ways to Build Your Expert Status" class as a teleseminar on August 13th (see below for details). Here are the descriptions of all of the teleseminars. This is from her most recent newsletter. (I have nothing to do with her seminars other than being a raving fan!)
COOL OFF ON A HOT AUGUST NIGHT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The month of August has a well-deserved reputation for being hot and steamy, but it's also the time of year when kids get ready to go back to school. Even though our schooldays may be far behind us, August continues to feel like a prelude to the new year. It seemed like a perfect time to invite you to spend an evening (or two or four) with me exploring some of my favorite teleclass subjects. We'll kick off this teleclass series with the ever popular How To Support Your Wanderlust. If you'd like travel to be more than an occasional vacation, join me to explore all sorts of options for creating a portable business that allows you to travel and make money (and create a tax deduction) at the same time. Nope, I'm not talking about working for the airlines or a cruise line. Those options are too obvious. Join me for this teleclass and you'll leave with imaginative and workable ideas gleaned from creative entrepreneurial gypsies who are seeing the world and building a business at the same time. .August 5, 8:30-10:00 PM EDT, 5:30 Pacific
It's so much easier to move ahead when you know the techniques of Outsmarting Resistance. All of us have it, we can never eliminate it, but we can learn to recognize it and counteract this power that keeps us stuck. August 7, 8:30-10:00 PM EDT, 5:30 Pacific
We may be moving out of the Information Age and into the Idea Age, but one thing will remain constant: learning. If you've got ideas and information that you'd like to share via seminars, A Beginner's Guide to the Seminar Business is for you. After exploring the three stages for building a successful seminar business, we'll discuss the wide range of venues and vehicles for conducting seminars. August 11, 8:30-10:00 PM EDT 5:30 Pacific
Finally, we'll close out this series with A Dozen Ways to Build Your Expert Status. This teleclass covers the most useful and practical things that every expert knows--and every successful expert uses to build their market and visibility. August 13, 8:30-10:00 PM EDT, 5:30 Pacific

This sounds very interesting. I have never done a teleseminar. I like the topics so how does it work?
Barbara Winter is now a Biznik member. (She is in Las Vegas so be sure that the locale on the Member page is unchecked unless you live in her area.)
I am going to toss your question over to her so she can give us all the details. Usually the way they work is that once you pay you are given the telephone # and a code to use. Everyone calls into that number and the speaker begins!
Teleseminars are amazingly easy and convenient. I say that after resisting them for a couple of years because the idea seemed impersonal to me. I love a roomful of people who are exploring new ideas together and wondered how that could be duplicated via the phone.
As I've learned, it's not duplicated; teleclasses are another vehicle for sharing ideas. The way it works is pretty simple: once you register, you're given a number to call at the scheduled time. Essentially, a teleclass is a conference call, but may or may not include a lot of participation. My teleclasses run for 90 minutes because that seems to be the maximum time we can concentrate through this medium. I've also just started recording them so people who can't attend at the scheduled time can still get the audio version. The audio has also proved popular because people who did attend can relisten.
Every single teleclass I do has attendees that have never done one before. They're usually pleasantly surprised that it's easier than they anticipated.
