Webinars, Help

I have a long list of drat posts that I haven't published either because I didn't feel like developing them or I just moved on to a different topic.

I noticed that since May, I saved but didn't publish three postings about webinars. They were all created immediately after suffering through horrible webinars that thankfully I didn't pay for.

What is going on with webinars? Are they an effective business development tool? Do they really add value to the user? In my recent experience, they have been unfocused, dry and of zero value.

I am not an expert on webinars so I can't comment on what elements make up a successful webinar. From the perspective of a consumer, I can say that this is what I would like to see:

1. A focused presentation
2. A presenter that is clearly prepared
3. Compelling and fresh content
4. A passionate presenter
5. More interaction with the audience
6. More Q&A
7. Simple visuals
8. Clear take-aways

I'm not asking for that much, am I?!
