this explains a lot about your desire to share your expertise with the world. We’ll
begin the session by explaining what E-coaching is all about. Once we have dwelled
a bit on that, we’ll move on to our core subject which running a seminar from home or
more popularly called as a webinar.
As we all know, Internet has become one of the most powerful tools of sharing
information by using different means, be it blogs, e-magazines or academic journals.
There are experts and not so experts with little or more knowledge on any subject
written on the Internet with a view to educate or increase their business. You may not
realize but you too may be an expert in your chosen field.
Somewhere inside, every one of us has an urge to share what we know best. You
may have counseled your friends at some point of time or written a great piece for
the Internet, some part of you wants others to know how you do it. Some of your
family or friends may even have suggested you to consider this as something you
can teach. Why don’t you? You may like to ask how. It’s understandable that many of
you don’t know about the concept of E-Coaching. Let’s move on to gain some insight
into this field of teaching and learning and how it can be converted into a lucrative
business.

There are two great things about E-Coaching. Firstly, the medium is easy to use and
create. You don’t need to write or print loads of paper when all your knowledge can
be saved in a CD or hard drive and distributed via the Internet. Secondly, everything
can be done from the comfort of your home in your own time, whether you have a full
time job or not. If you already have a job, you can consider this as an additional
source of income. Well, that must sound very attractive to you.
Now that you have a fair idea of what E-Coaching means, let’s look at some ways,
which can be used to present your ideas to the world. Technology plays a very
important role for using the methods employed in E-Coaching. These methods
include PowerPoint Presentations, Instant Messaging, E-mail, Video Conferencing
and using CDs or DVDs containing study material in audio, video or e-book format. If
you have very little or no knowledge of these methods, a small basic course on
computers would equip you well enough to get started.
Most businesses today are going global. Their products and services are offered to
the world market. Why should you restrict yourself to your location or country? This is
where your knowledge of Internet comes in. With the power of Internet, it is now
possible to reach a wider audience. This would ensure success even if the subject of
your choice does not have interested people in your location. You would still be able
to make a business out of it. That’s the advantage of E-Coaching
One of the best methods of E-Coaching is webinars. This is because you can use a
combination of E-Coaching methods to develop your business. This is what is
covered in the next section.

What is it about a webinar that makes it a good choice over a conventional seminar?
The first thing is that it’s virtual therefore, saves you the hassle of the set up required
in a land-based seminar. All you need is a computer, a fast-speed Internet
connection, microphone and webinar software. All these equipments are easier to get
as well as set up, right inside your home. Next, is the cost, being virtual a webinar
saves time and money, which would otherwise be spent in traveling from place to
place.
Another advantage is that once the content of your webinar is created, it can be used
again next time. Of course, you would need to make changes, keeping your client’s
interest in mind. Also, do check the market trends regularly and keep the content
updated.
A webinar is also easy to promote using the Internet. Once you have all the materials
ready with you, all you need to do is send a simple email. As your business grows,
you can use other tools of marketing, both online and offline to promote your
webinar.

Before you begin planning your webinar, you must understand and then decide what
you would like to teach or convey through it. It is best to choose a subject that you
really like, rather than something that you hold a degree in. You are obviously not
holding the webinar for yourself and it is very important to know your target audience.
For example, if your webinar is based planning a career, your audience would be
undergraduates and those who have recently graduated. More on this will be
discussed later.
Let’s now talk about the ‘expert’ concept, as this is what you should be, right? Wrong,
the term expert is often misunderstood. Most of us have the idea that an expert is
someone who knows everything about a particular subject through a college degree.
As long as you have a particular skill and experience, you can very well consider
yourself as an expert. You may not have a degree in cooking or gardening, but if you
have been at it even for two to five years, you can easily teach others. With that said,
you do not need to know everything; as long as you know 5% of what 95% people
don’t know, you are already are an expert!
