I Spent Six Months Attending Free Business Webinars
This is what I learned
How it started
With a freed-up calendar in a pandemic lockdown, I was spending more time doing everything virtually: reading e-books, listening to podcasts, and watching more YouTube videos than ever before.
If you spend more than five minutes a day on Social Media, you will come across at least one ad with a special offer inviting you to sign up for a free webinar. The targets of such ads are small business owners or anyone interested — even if just remotely — in becoming an entrepreneur. Anyone with a service to offer or an idea to develop can feel enticed to learn a few tips from those self-proclaimed business experts.
Out of curiosity, I signed up for every free webinar posted on my feed, to see for myself if there was anything of value being given away. Anything from Fitness Coaching to Consulting was game for me. I gave it my best interest and undivided attention, for as long as the webinar lasted (one hour each, on average). I attended presentations with titles similar to these:
“Create Online Courses in Just Ninety Minutes.”
“Make Six Figures by Taking Your Yoga Business Online.”
“Get Paid to Speak (Even if You Never Spoke in Public Before).”
