Hello, Skillshare learners! Welcome to PUTTING THE BOOM INTO YOUR ZOOM – our course to help you run stellar video meetings!

This course is for people who organize and run online meetings, webinars and virtual gatherings and want to improve the whole experience for the hosts and the participants.

We cover the key areas, including:

looking and sounding better on-camera
increasing audience engagement and participation right from the start, with some great activities and tricks
handling questions and answers smoothly; and
managing your whole meeting like a pro behind the scenes so that everything runs seamlessly.

Many of our tips apply no matter what video conference software you’re using. But some lessons focus on how to make the most of Zoom’s specific hosting features.

Video conferencing is here to stay. We aren’t going to return to a world that doesn’t have video calls, virtual events and webinars. This is a big part of the new normal for business and personal communication, so it’s essential to adapt. In fact, this could be a NEW FREELANCE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY for you. Being a freelance virtual event manager – a Zoom expert -- is now a real job. Did you know that virtual event producers and planners can be paid anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 dollars per job? You can turn your video meeting skills into extra cash as a side business you can run from the comfort of your own home.

Each lesson is short, easy-to-follow and packed with practical tips for making your next online meeting great. We’ll include audience activities you can use right away, plus actual scripts!

It’s a step-by-step virtual conference playbook.
