Editorial content is featured throughout Xtalks.com, including the homepage, industry pages, related content modules and Xtalks member’s profiles. Moreover, each editorial piece, as outlined below, is promoted on multiple social media outlets, including Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
News Story
Xtalks Vitals News can cover timely and news-worthy topics from emerging B2B partnerships, advancements in technologies or new products on the market.
Xtalks’ partners can also provide the editorial team with press releases to help familiarize the reader with their organization and generate further interest about new company initiatives or upcoming and recorded webinars.
How do I Promote an Upcoming Webinar vs a Recorded Webinar Within an Article, is There a Difference?
For both upcoming and recorded webinars, potential attendees will be prompted to register online to access the content through the related webinars module or through a text link in the article itself. Both upcoming and recorded webinar event pages prompt visitors to register for the webinar. While recorded webinars can be accessed immediately by the registrant, upcoming webinars require users to wait until the event date to attend and participate in the webinar. That said, all live webinar registrants can access the post-event recording.
Blog Article
Xtalks Vital Blogs are longer than news articles and discuss industry-related topics in further detail. They can be distributed in three different styles to expand a company’s outreach and catch the attention of a specialist or expert in their relating field.
1. Guest Blogs
Guest blog posts can work as a way to create excitement around an upcoming webinar. Speakers from Xtalks’ partners can write an in-depth blog based on their topic of expertise to give readers a greater idea of what the webinar is about. It also provides an alternative outreach strategy to draw future attendees to the webinar event page. In this blog, a link will be added at the bottom of the article and a webinar tile will be added to prompt the reader to register if they are interested.
2. Archived Webinar Blog
A blog can also be used to promote archived webinars to enhance post-webinar registrations. In this case, the Xtalks Editorial team will write a blog based on the topic of your past webinar. In addition to the related webinar tile, a link will be displayed in both the first and final paragraph of the post to attract clicks to your webinar archive.
3. Interview Style Blog
These conversational blogs can be written as an interview piece between an Xtalks moderator and a webinar speaker or expert in their field. Similar to the previous blog posts, webinar links can be promoted through the article and showcased as tiles under the ‘related webinars’ at the bottom of the page.
Vitals Video
Xtalks Vitals Videos are typically news articles and sometimes trending blog topics that are transformed into a brief 3-4 minute video piece. The content is distributed on our Youtube channel and shared across all social media channels.
Each week a Vitals Video promotes an upcoming webinar by featuring the webinar at the beginning and end of the industry related video clip. In addition, a link to the webinar registration page is also embedded in the Youtube description to further encourage viewers to sign up for the upcoming or recorded webinar.
The Xtalks Editorial team can also create a Vitals Video based on a topic, finding, or area of expertise related to your organization’s upcoming webinar. The video is edited similarly to a news story and features the speaker sharing their insights on camera or webcam.
This is a great way to familiarize the audience with your speaker and can be used as an outreach tool to further promote your brand to a wider audience. Interesting photos, footage, and logos from your company can also be incorporated to enhance the video’s visual components.
Quiz
Xtalks Vitals Quizzes provide a fun and interactive way to drive traffic to your upcoming webinar. It can also work to test people’s knowledge around a topic of interest or skill in your field. This can measure how much the prospective webinar registrant knows and much they still have to learn, prompting more viewers to register for a webinar at the end of the quiz.
Quizzes can also be embedded within news and blog articles and can be easily shared with colleagues and act as an entertaining and interactive way to learn more about the life science, medical device, or food industry.
