#1 Make the most of short webinar titles
According to HubSpot, 6-13 word titles bring you the most valuable traffic. You do not gain an audience using long-form titles, because they do not even remember what you were saying in such a title. Using short forms makes the recipients remember it better. Use that information when creating new webinar titles and putting up your logo.
#2 Use the target audience as your webinar title
You may want to use the name of a professional group, or citizens of a specific region, for example. Let’s say that you run a webinar about new law regulations for e-commerce businesses in the US. Choosing an appealing title of “what each US-based e-commerce business needs to know about ABC321 regulations” may help you generate the most valuable leads.
#3 Test catchy webinar titles
When searching for ideas, check what your competitors are doing, and use their ideas to test your new titles. For example, use words that usually get attention.
Use phrases that carry surprises and emotions
Some good examples are phrases like "... that you've never heard of", or "...that works wonderfully". You can easily get attention by adding some short calls to action such as “CHECK IT OUT” in the title of your webinar.
Don't overuse capital letters
Using capital letters may also help here, but don’t overuse them - otherwise capitalizing may be considered as shouting rather than emphasizing essential aspects in the headline.
Descriptive language will also help you create short and catchy webinar titles. Use suggestive words that are highly emotional (in a positive way!). This will make it much easier for your audience to understand your topic, as well as encourage them to listen to your webinar. If the title is descriptive, the whole webinar will be too, right?
#4 Create lists and use numbers
It goes without saying that people like lists. Your perfect audience may be more willing to take action and sign up when they know what to expect. “Tips for managers” may not cover the topic completely, but “16 tips for managers” sounds more encouraging.
By using, for example, "X ways to …" in the webinar title, you will reassure users that everyone can find something that will interest them. If they don't like method number one, there's still the rest of the list to come.
People like to have a choice, and lists give it to them.
Take a look at the title of this article. The fact that you’ve already read this far is the best proof that lists work! If you combine a list with any of our other ideas, you can be pretty sure that you've just created one of the best webinar titles out there! For example: “10 ways of quickly cleaning-up that you’ve never heard of”. Let's face it: probably all of us would love to hear about them and would sign up for this webinar.
You can find on our blog many articles that contain lists. For example, here are 6 of the best webinar marketing examples out there to follow and get inspired. Enjoy reading it! Check also best webinar software platforms, that are out there!
#5 Be provocative (with your questions)
More ideas for you to try out? Add some questions to your webinar titles and don’t be scared of being a little provocative.
Some of the best webinar titles are those with a hint of provocation.
Instead of asking “would you like to increase traffic on your website?”, ask “do you think it’s possible to increase traffic on your website in 3 days? Let’s find out”. There’s a hint of secrecy and mystery in such a question. Putting some in a webinar title may help you convince those who are tired of average content to expect more.
People remember provocative, offbeat, and unconventional ideas, so using them in your webinar titles is quite an interesting option.
#6 How to create the best webinar titles?
How to come up with a webinar title that hits the jackpot? Yes! By using “how to”.
Simple as that.
Based on our previous tips for webinar titles, the right questions can make... catchy webinar titles. Yes, a simple "how to do [something]?" may be more than sufficient.
A “how to” form indicates that there are some pieces of advice, guides, or tutorials awaiting viewers of the webinar.
Once you make a promise in your webinar titles, your content needs to live up to expectations though. Make sure that not only your webinar titles but also the webinars themselves deliver value.
#7 Use keywords in webinar titles
The main goal of keywords is to make it easier (and possible) for users to find you, e.g. in the search engine. If webinar titles contain proper keywords, they will be better positioned. More people may find them by entering specific phrases into a search engine, or on social media.
Thus, make appropriate research of keywords before you start choosing webinar titles for your masterpieces.
#8 Show your webinar values in the title
Time is money. People want to know exactly what they will be spending their time on.
By displaying in your webinar title what value it will bring to your audience, you make it easier for them to decide to jump onboard. Webinar titles should be clear, simple to understand, and short.
If your audience is looking for some answers and the topic is valuable to them, they will most likely click to hear more. There was a split test done by MarketingSherpa that showed some interesting results: clearer webinar titles resulted in a 45 per cent better CTR!
It may be really profitable to make your webinar titles loud and clear. Often the best webinar titles are the most straightforward ones. Simplicity is the key.
