Webinars are a fantastic and effective way to do business, promote information and discuss ideas. The problem, however, is that the cost of using these tools can be very expensive or even prohibitive for many users, with some services requiring you to remain subscribed and pay ongoing fees, and/or restricting the number of participants who can attend.
Fortunately, if you run a WordPress website or blog, there is now a way to run webinars without limits or ongoing costs.
RunClick – WordPress Webinar & Video Conferencing Software
(RunClick – Webinar and Video Conferencing Software)
Plugin Description
The RunClick WP video conferencing plugin lets you use Google Hangouts, Google’s own webcast application, and turn it into a business-level webinar platform.
Google Hangouts is a powerful broadcast system, but it’s not a marketing solution. RunClick uses the high quality audio visual capabilities of Google Hangouts, and also gives you the power of ever green webinars at no additional cost, as well as built-in lead capture and follow-up functionality, delivering your business a total webinar and video conferencing and marketing system.
RunClick (previously known as “Hangout Plugin”) is a simple-to-install and easy-to-configure WP webinar plugin that will help you promote and broadcast your information to an unlimited global audience, build engagement with your attendees, close sales live over the web, turn your business presentations into webinars that you can schedule to run automatically, and instantly set up automated follow-up email marketing campaigns.

Benefits
Here are just some of the benefits and advantages of using RunClick to run webinars and video conferences using Google Hangouts on your web site:
No Limits On Events
RunClick lets you hold as many webinars, web meetings, training courses and live presentations as you want.
No Monthly Costs
Unlike other solutions that restrict the number of people who can view your webinars, RunClick allows you to deliver your business presentation to an unlimited number of registrants.
No Monthly Costs
Many webinar and video conferencing solutions can be quite expensive or require users to subscribe and pay ongoing fees, even if they have no events planned for that month. Some services, for example, can cost around $500 per month.
Additional plugin benefits include the following:
- Hold Web-Based Meetings: RunClick lets you schedule web-based meetings with anyone anywhere around the world, monitor attendance, send out minutes, and take advantage of Google’s virtual meeting infrastructure to provide better audiovisual quality to your virtual meetings than solutions like Skype.
- Increase Engagement: You can chat, survey and share live information digitally with participants to increase your engagement and track performance with real-time reporting tools.
- Generate New Revenue: Your webinars are automatically captured, allowing you to set up ongoing replays and profit from evergreen content.
