Shorter webinars?

by Keeslover

OK everyone, I get that webinars work... but must every single one be over an hour (usually closer to two)?

Pleeease, get to the point sooner so those of us who know we want it can buy and move on with our lives. Thank you!

    I hear your point. Sometimes I do not want training to end if I am getting a ton of value. Sometimes its a bunch of fluff and I leave. It depends on who it is.

    Shouldn't the time be consistent with the amount of REAL information that is to be delivered, or is there some psychological thing that makes one hour the magic number? Anyone know?

    I've attended quite a few webinars. Some go on way too long. I think 1 hour
    should be the absolute limit.

    I agree that they should be a lot shorter and get to the point quicker.
    Most just feel like a combination of a whodunit and an infomercial and
    I'm quite over the whole webinar thing anyway... it's really getting old.

      Yes.

      I'd rather watch a short video and/or read a sales page than sit through a webinar. They take entirely too frigging long, period.

      IMO, it's disrespectful of attendees' time to take an hour or two to sell something when it could be accomplished in 20-30 minutes.
