Between avoiding high travel expenses and having fun working in your jammies, teleseminars and webinars work for audiences and presenters alike. But, as comfortable as remote events may be, many presenters make the dangerous mistake of treating them like in-person speaking events. They don't take into account that webinars and teleseminars have a different dynamic, a different relationship between the speaker and the listener.

Below are two of the biggest distinctions between a remote event and an in-person speech, and two strategies to make your next remote gig the best one yet.

Distinction #1: Lack of Feedback

Like many performers, speakers respond to the energy of the attendees. Professional presenters constantly read their audience's body-language and instantly adapt to that reaction. When a speaker knows the attendees are responding well, they relax and "play" with the participants. It's those interactions that create classic spontaneous "moments" no one forgets. They also can spot the "problem children" and know how to draw them back in.
