Webinars are a practical and effective way to do business, teach new information and discuss ideas. The problem, however, is that the cost of accessing webinar and video conferencing solutions can be quite expensive or even prohibitive for many users, with some services requiring you to remain subscribed and pay ongoing fees, and limiting the number of users who can register.
Fortunately, if you run a WordPress website or blog, there is now a way to run webinars and video conferencing with no limitations or ongoing costs.
RunClick – WP Webinar & Video Conferencing Plugin
(RunClick – Webinar and Video Conferencing Software)
Plugin Description
The RunClick WP webinar & video conferencing plugin lets you use Google Hangouts, Google’s own webcasting tool, and turn it into a professional webinar platform.
Google Hangouts is a powerful web broadcasting system, but it’s not really a marketing solution. RunClick uses the high quality audio visual capabilities of Google Hangouts, and also gives you the power of evergreen webinars at no additional cost, plus built-in lead capture and follow up features, delivering your business a complete webinar and video conferencing system.
RunClick (previously known as “Hangout Plugin”) is a simple-to-install and easy-to-use webinar & video conferencing software that will help to promote and broadcast your information to an unlimited global audience, build engagement with prospective customers, close sales live, turn your business presentations into webinars that can be scheduled to run automatically, and instantly set up automated follow-up campaigns.

No Limits On Events
RunClick lets you hold as many webinars, web conferences, training courses and live presentations as you want.

No Ongoing Expenses
Some webinar/video conferencing services can be quite expensive or require you to stay subscribed and pay ongoing fees, even if you have no events planned. Some other solutions, for example, will cost hundreds of dollars per month.

Plugin Tips
You can instantly create information products from your powerpoint presentations and training broadcasts and create recurring sources of income with the RunClick WordPress webinar & video conferencing plugin installed on your site.
The plugin automatically records all of your presentations, so with a little bit of planning and a small investment of time and effort on your part, you can significantly expand your range of products and increase your profitability.
For example, even if you are not that well-known in your market yet, you can easily run webcasts featuring invited experts who will reply to your questions or present information on a specific topic and create most of the information for the webcasts. This will give you exclusive content that needed no expertise on your behalf to create.
