So how do you do an online party?

Its really quite simple :)

When you are networking you will come across sites that are holding expos check them out to see if they are free to join or cost a small fee, see how many visitors they expect to come to the expo, will you be solely responsible for the advertising of the event or will it be a joint venture. ONE quick note here even if the company is doing a mass amount of advertising it is best if you also do your own advertising for your own event.

When you start an online party you will need to know a few things ahead of time.

#1 Where its going to be located

#2 what type of games you will be playing, everyone loves games for a list of games to play for both online and offline parties and chats look at page 59 in the Step by Step Marketing Guide.

#3 What type of prizes you will be giving away

#4 Who will you be inviting, where you network, family and friends etc

#5 Start advertising your party a full 2 weeks in advance, ask for people who are interested emails so you can send them reminders! I can't tell you how many times I wanted to go to an online party and just plain forgot the day and time. An update about a couple days before and the day of will help your attendance!

#6 Be prepared to talk about not only your products but your business opportunities if its offered.

Ok its the day of the party what do you do?

#1 Send out an email reminder, post on networks and groups you are a member of

#2 Party starts introduce yourself and tell them a little about your company and ask everyone in the chat room to introduce themselves.

#3 Ask if anyone is looking for a specific item or what their needs are for that day

#4 Tell them about your specials, if you do a drawing for attendees do it now

#5 Have them look at your website direct them to the areas you want them go to

#6 Play a game

#7 Announce the winner of the game

#8 Ask several times during the party if anyone has any questions

#9 Tell everyone when you will be closing the party.

#10 Thank everyone for coming
