Re: When do you charge for a webinar? Would you charge for a webinar? Should you charge for a webinar?

Thanks for this Nancy. I am new to this list as, like many others, I struggle to readjust to a schedule that includes no time in airports and planes (I valued the seclusion from emails and WA if I am being perfectly honest.) I think your advice on context, both for the facilitator and client is solid. I am on the client side of things (for facilitation support that is) and will always work to pay for a solution but the ability of my clients to pay will vary. The good news is there is money left from not making those flights, so long as the clients continue to have revenue and the ability to buy services. That is an evolving situation as well. Fred Carden

I would also separate out context. Right now there is very real need - some who can pay to get help, but most folks just struggling to figure out their next step. Some of those struggling are consultants who just lost all their business so the need for financial intention and sensitivity is super important. I feel privileged that I'm semi-retired and have choice and am able to devote time for free. And I know people around me who don't know how they are going to pay next month's bills. Some may have less sensitivity to this, some may simply be opportunistic. That's life. What IS wonderful is asking the questions, offering the ideas. (Yes, this is me in my sleep-deprived way saying thank you. My ability?to write succinctly is suffering! LOL)
My only suggestion is transparency - offer what you can. Ask for what you need. Be a? good human being and then the chances for abundance get a lot higher. We are in this together.?

I think mini- online workshop is a great description.? And I think if people learn something then the donation model is great.? My pilates instructor offered a free virtual mat class on Tuesday night with an option to donate via Venmo. While I didn't send the same amount that I would send for an in class session ( where she could correct my bad form) I got a great workout and sent the donation, happily.
But this consultant uses webinars as lead generators and I don't know enough about that market place to know if "it's a real" thing. My gut says, no.?
Thanks for sharing.
