I’ve been digging around the web looking for blog posts and tips on how to host and produce a more profitable virtual event. I know that many of you who are anxious to host your own virtual events could use these tips as well, so over the next 10 business days, I’ll be sharing links to blog posts on how to produce a better virtual event.

I got the inspiration in 2006 from Darren Rowse who blogged about the 31 Days to Building a Better Blog. I was so inspired, I ran my own 31 Days to Producing a Better Podcast on my other blog. Because of how well that went, I decided to run a similar series here for virtual events.

Now, I was only able to come up with 10 days worth of content. The issue is that there’s quite a bit written on virtual worlds, such as Second Life, but not much on virtual events and virtual shows.

Here’s what else I excluded from this line up:

• Resources that required an email and/or mailing address to gain access to the content;
• Articles on websites or blogs that don’t encourage interaction (comments/trackbacks turned off or missing);
• Question and answer articles that outlined many ideas, thus making it hard for me to categorize;
• White papers extolling the wonders of a virtual event software;
• Posts by those employed by companies that lease virtual event platforms. While they were insightful, most contained bias towards their employer’s virtual event platform.

So, once a day over the next 10 business days, I’ll display a virtual event tip that will take you to a wealth of resources on the topic. While reading this, don’t forget to:

1. Add your comments. Whether I missed a really great resource, if you have a question or if you want to share how the tip has helped you in your virtual event journey, please leave your comments.
2. Post your tips on your blog and do a trackback to mine. If you end up writing up your own virtual event tips, do so and make sure you provide a trackback to the tip on my blog.

The 10 Days to Producing a Better Virtual Event begins on July 15th. Enjoy.
