Do You Have Enough Seminar Content

When you're planning your first event, you might

struggle to figure out how much information you

need to share to make attending your seminar

"worth it" for attendees.



Here are some suggestions:



* If YOU don't think you're offering enough content,

you're probably right. Trust your instincts and

add more information.



* Survey prospective attendees to see what exactly

they want/need to learn. Choose the topics that

are most popular and appropriate for your seminar

and expected audience. Then provide as much information

as attendees need to reasonably be able to achieve

the results you promise.



* Create a detailed outline of lessons that you'll

teach. Run the outline by potential attendees for

their input about whether you're covering enough.



* When developing your presentation, incorporate

as much content as possible into your outline. Then

identify which chunks of information must be included

no matter what. Also identify which elements could

be cut from your presentation if your audience seems

to understand what you're teaching -- or, alternatively,

which examples, exercises and lessons you can add if

needed and if you have time.



* Do a beta test of your event. Invite a small

number of people to participate in the first run

of the seminar. In exchange for their honest and

comprehensive feedback on your event, you can offer

themsteeply discounted or free tuition.



By following these simple steps, you will feel good

about the value you are offering to your attendees.

With the content they are getting, they will definitely

get their money's worth out of your event. In this

situation, everyone wins.
