There is quite a bit of work and cost that goes into setting up and hosting a virtual event. First, you must decide if it is a webinar or teleseminar, then whether it is paid or free. You have to decide the goal of the event, select a service to manage the event, coordinate with your JV Partners, coordinate with your affiliates, write sales copy and sales letters, create autoresponders, design a marketing and sales funnel for the event, hold hands, build excitement, plus a whole lot more!
