Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A telephone line, a bridge line or service to host your calls, a recording device or service to record the call, an audience.

1. Public speaking terrifies a large majority of people. According to Wikipedia, glossophobia may affect more than 75% of all people who have ever had to speak in public.
   
   Teleseminar Secrets suggests to interview, or have someone interview you over the phone about a topic to help erase this fear.
   
   This proven strategy works because no one sees you because you are on the phone not in front of an audience.

2. Decide on the topic you wish to base the teleseminar on. This is the primary message you want to deliver.
   
   It can be a sales call about a product, an information call about a service, or a discussion focusing on any topic you chose. Be creative and something will come to mind.

3. Decide if you want to be interviewed or if you want to interview someone else. Do you know about the topic? Then consider yourself as the expert.
   
   If you would rather just ask questions, then find and expert. Consider guru.com or expert.com as starting options.

4. After you have a topic and decided what interview format to use, then you need to prepare for the call itself.
   
   In this step decide on the structure. How long is the call going to be. How many questions will be asked?
   
   Is there a script or structured format? Teleseminar Secrets suggest this methods because it elevates the fear of developing a loss for words. This is a very common concern of specking in public.

5. Next, you will need to market the teleseminar itself. In Teleseminar Secrets Alex provides a comprehensive variety of ways to do this. This is not a "how to market teleseminar," but consider any online or off-line strategy.

6. Here is where you tackle the logistics of the call itself. Decide on the time, date, and service providers. There are dozens of companies out there to help with the technology. A very easy comprehensive system to implement a turn-key teleseminar is located at Xiosoft's instantteleseminar.com.

7. Perform the call. This is the easy part. From step 4 you just follow the structure of the script you developed. Carry on the conversation just like you would any other phone conversation.
   
   It is an easy way to over come your public speaking fears by using this Teleseminar Secrets tactic because it will be just like speaking to your guest. You could have one or hundreds of people on the call, but because their telephone lines are muted you would never know.

Tips & Warnings

• Consider doing a practice call with your interview partner to get even more comfortable.
• Teleseminar Secrets is not for everyone. It is an 8 week comprehensive training that covers every aspect of using teleseminars. It is expensive, but search for discounts available.
