🎤 Webinar Funnels: Registrations, Reminders And Replays

A webinar funnel works on its own, and does more when ResultsAiX Webinars is on the same site. On its own it collects registrations like any optin. With the webinar plugin, every signup becomes a real registrant with reminders, a join link and a replay.

Where to find it:

• The Webinar Funnel on the Dashboard sets up Webinar Register, Thank You and Sales / Offer for you.
• Webinar Register is also a page type in Pages To Build on the Build Funnel screen.
• With ResultsAiX Webinars active and a published webinar, the Build Funnel screen shows Build This Funnel Around A Webinar, and every Webinar Register section in Edit Content shows Register People For A Webinar.

On its own:

A Webinar Register page gets a headline, what they will learn, the host, a date line and the form. The form is wired to your email tool and saved on your Leads screen like any other optin. Add a Thank You page and the funnel is complete.

Without the webinar plugin the date line is written copy, so keep it up to date yourself in Edit Content. The Edit Content panel says so in one quiet line, and nothing else changes.

With ResultsAiX Webinars on the same site:

The two plugins find each other. A Webinar picker appears on every Webinar Register section, listing your published webinars and when each one next airs. Pick one and that form becomes a real registration:

• Each signup is created as a registrant in the webinar itself, so the confirmation and reminder emails, the calendar invite and the follow ups all go out
• Each registrant gets their own join link and replay link, which is what makes attendance and replay figures work
• The date stops being written copy. The section shows the real next airing in your own time zone, and an always available webinar says Starts as soon as you register
• They land on their own thank you page on the webinar, carrying their join link
• Your email tool still receives them exactly as before. The webinar is an extra destination, never a replacement

Build the whole funnel around a webinar:

1. On Build Funnel, open Build This Funnel Around A Webinar.
2. Pick the webinar in the Webinar list. Not a webinar funnel is the default.
3. Leave Add a replay page that plays the recording, for the people who miss it ticked if you want a replay page.
4. Write your brief, or answer the Webinar Funnel questions, and press Generate My Funnel.

The AI is told the webinar's real title and real airing time, so the copy uses your real workshop name and date. Every registration form in the funnel is pointed at that webinar afterwards.

Pointing one form at a webinar:

1. Open the funnel and go to the Webinar Register page.
2. Press Edit Content.
3. Find the Webinar Register section and its Register People For A Webinar box.
4. Pick the webinar in the Webinar list. Just collect the optin keeps it as a plain optin.
5. Press Save And Preview, then Save Funnel.

The Webinar Register section also has the same Where These Leads Go panel as an optin form, so you still choose your email list, tags, webhook and redirect.

Playing a recording anywhere:

Any Video section can play a webinar's own recording. Open Edit Content, find the video and use Play A Webinar Recording. Pick the webinar, or keep Use the video address below. A webinar with nothing recorded yet keeps the video address, so a page never shows an empty player.

What the Leads screen shows:

A webinar registration has two destinations, your email tool and the webinar. The Where It Went column shows both, for example mailchimp: delivered / webinar: delivered. If one accepted the lead and the other did not, the row reads Part delivered and names which side said what.

A real example:

Sarah runs a free workshop, Weeknight Dinners In 20 Minutes, every Thursday at 7pm in ResultsAiX Webinars. She builds a Webinar Funnel, picks the workshop in Build This Funnel Around A Webinar and generates. The registration page shows the next real Thursday date, and every signup gets Sarah's reminder emails and a personal join link, while also landing in her Workshop Registrants list in Mailchimp.

Worth knowing:

• The webinar is always your choice, never the AI's. Rewriting a page cannot point a form at a different webinar, exactly like your email list and your buy buttons
• If the webinar cannot take a registration, the optin still succeeds and the lead is still yours
• An exported funnel posts back to your site, so registrations still reach the webinar from pages hosted anywhere
• With no webinar plugin, or no published webinar, no webinar controls appear anywhere

Tips:

• Use an always available webinar for an evergreen funnel. The section then says Starts as soon as you register.
• Keep the replay page. People who miss the live session are often your warmest buyers.
