Decision guide
- New offer, lots of open questions → start live
- Stable topic, consistent traffic → automate it
- High-ticket and highly individual → live or hybrid with a call
- Standard, easy-to-explain offer → evergreen with checkout
Frequently asked questions
- Can I run both in parallel?
- Yes. An evergreen webinar as an always-on offer combined with occasional live sessions for timeliness and community works well together.
- How often should an evergreen webinar be updated?
- Whenever your offer, pricing, or core content changes. A fixed review schedule every few months prevents outdated claims.
