Webinar Checklist: 10 Things to Check Before You Go Live

Running a webinar isn’t just hitting “Go Live.” If you want things to go smoothly - and actually convert - you need to be prepared.

1. Your topic and structure are clear

• A clear, catchy topic
• One main goal (sell, teach, recruit, etc.)
• A simple structure (3 to 5 parts max)

2. Your registration page is published

• A strong headline with a benefit
• A short form (first name and email only)
• A nice image or short video
• Date and countdown are visible
• Mobile and desktop tested

✅ Webismart gives you a high-converting registration page by default

3. Automated emails are set up

• Confirmation email after sign-up
• Reminders (24 hours, 1 hour, 5 minutes before)
• Link to join the live webinar
• Follow-up email with replay or offer

✅ Webismart offers a series of pre-written emails

4. Visual content is ready

• Simple, clean slides
• High-quality visuals (logo, photos)
• Any needed videos are embedded
• Clear offer slide near the end

📌 Tip: Use visuals over text. Keep it light and engaging.

5. Your webinar room is tested

• Link tested ahead of time
• Audio, video, screen sharing checked

7. Your CTA (call to action) is set

• Offer is clear and easy to understand
• CTA appears at the right time during the webinar
• Button links to checkout, form, or free trial

8. Replay settings are confirmed (optional)

• Decide if you’re offering a replay
• Prepare your replay email
• Add urgency (limited-time offer, bonus)

⏳ Replays help turn no-shows into customers

9. Post-webinar follow-up is planned

• Get a list of attendees and no-shows
• Send emails with offer or next steps
• Segment based on who watched, clicked, etc.
• Review stats (watch time, questions, engagement)

📊 Webismart gives you all this data automatically

10. Final prep before you go live

• Have a glass of water
• Silence your phone or put it on airplane mode
• Close all unused tabs or apps
