Your post was very timely for me as I was looking for some recommendations as to what would be the best webinar service. Sometimes I wish there was some way to compare each company side by side to get a better overall view as to which service would be suitable for my needs.

I do love the fact that you were able to get opinions from multiple people – that definitely helps with making a decision as to which one I’ll use.

Thanks 🙂

This was a great post! I wanted to know the pros and cons of the various options myself as I incorporate webinars and teleseminars into my business. I think Lain Ehmann said it best when she said, start with a list of “your criteria” and shop around from there. Each expert shared the pros and cons of their preferred platform according to their business needs and what would work for their audience.

Thanks again for sharing this post.

I’ve used Adobe Connects in the past with much frustration. Choosing another service has been on my to-do list for too long. Thanks for putting up a truly valuable post – I’m sure it will help many trying to make a decision.

Thanks for this post, Nicole. I’m planning on hosting my first webinar in May (I’ve been a co-speaker in a couple) and I wasn’t sure which service to use. I’ll test-drive these and make my decision. Thank you!

I have been toying with doing webinars so this is a great round up. I have signed up for Meeting Burner but haven’t used it yet. This list gives me others to look into. The thing for me is just jumping in and doing it.

Question for you and your fellow experts, Nicole… what about using Google Hangouts for webinars? I’ve been on a couple of them recently (as a viewer, not presenter), and they seem to offer the same benefits as a GoTo Webinar, plus they are accessible in youtube afterwards. What are your thoughts on this as a solution? Oh yeah, I believe it’s also free.

Thanks,
Eric

Thanks Nicole and all of the contributors.

I’ve used several services. I used GoToWebinar for a while. I ALWAYS had trouble with it. I have a new computer and still whenever I register for a webinar using GoToWebinar or GoToMeeting I KNOW that I need to arrive 15 minutes early in order to download the software, WAIT for my computer to connect and sometimes it takes two or three times before I am able to get onto the meeting. I hate when I forget and am then late for the webinar or meeting. I think the service is too expensive for the hassle that it provides. I have seen an improvement in being able to record the webinar and access the recording and often I will skip the live meeting because the recording is easier to access.

I use TalkFusion for my webinars and video conferences. It has video capability, video email video blogs, and a video conference room that I can bring 10 people onto the screen, share my desktop, share presentations and videos and record, and I can have 1000 attendees. I love that I can have video feed of the presenter on screen during the presentation. I think it adds a more personal touch, increases credibility…etc.

I found that TalkFusion had an upfront cost that was more than the other services but after that I save over $150 on the other services that I was using to accomplish the same things…, paying just $35 per month. It also has a business side to it, that I haven’t really worked but there is a nice business model for those that want to add that as a stream of income…

I continue to use TalkFusion because — I save money, it is easy for my guests to access, it has high quality back office program (looks different from other services, so there is a learning curve but once you figure it out, it’s pretty easy) and there are the other features — video email, video newsletters, branded templates, video auto-responders etc…I have watched the TalkFusion platform improve and expand over the last 3 years. They continue to innovate and compete.

Thanks for the great article and info…
