Launching webinars on ClickFunnels is hard.
Not to talk of making it a successful one at that.
Especially when it is your first event and you want to make sure that nothing falls apart. A tiny error in connections, integrations, automation can cost you your life!
You can lose potential clients/customers which could result in wasting money on Ads. And that can be very frustrating.
Does it have to be that way? Of course NOT!
Not to worry…
Because this post contains everything you need to understand how ClickFunnels webinars work.
I will make sure to address some of the worrying concerns when it comes to building your perfect webinar on ClickFunnels, like:
- Creating a webinar funnel

Do Webinars Still Work?
The short answer is yes! Webinars still work and they aren’t dead, not now and not anytime in the near future. According to Wyzowl webinar statistics – out of all the marketers and business owners that hosted a webinar, 83% found it to be an effective marketing strategy.
Take a look at the Google Trend report for the term ‘webinar’ from 2004 till now:
Webinars are highly engaging, builds rapport, work across the entire customer journey and generate sales fast in the process.
Webinar is an ideal environment for selling just about anything to anyone at just about any time of the day.
You get the chance to get your potential customers in a setting where you can command attention, deliver real value and sell-high digital products of any kind.
But I have to say that it’s NOT that easy at all when it comes to perfecting a webinar for great conversions. This has to do with a mixture of buyer psychology and sales know-how.
That nervous feeling when you are about to do it for the first time, scared if your audience would show up, wondering if you’d make a sale…
…are the common thoughts and fears that arise when it comes to creating a perfect webinar.
But the truth IS:
Half of the work had already been done, you just have to replicate and leverage the work of other successful online business owners to make your ClickFunnels webinar a BOOM!
I will get to that soon.
Overview Of ClickFunnels Webinar
As you already know ClickFunnels is an all-in-one marketing tool where you can literally build and launch your online business from scratch on without duct-taping.
And creating of your webinar funnels is something you can smoothly do on ClickFunnels.
Just like I said at the beginning of this article – it is not easy. Creating a funnel, connecting your email solution, building up a page and doing some other stuff might seem easy. No doubt!
But that isn’t the case for webinar creation.
You can choose to create a live webinar or build an automated webinar also called auto webinar or evergreen webinar. Whichever you decide to do depends on your business goals.
There is a need for you to create a funnel and pages in ClickFunnels so you can create upon it a live webinar or an evergreen/pre-recorded webinar.
Before I walk you through on how to create these two types of a webinar on ClickFunnels, I want to show you the necessary pages that are needed in creating a webinar on ClickFunnels.
ClickFunnels Webinar Pages
Within a normal webinar funnel in ClickFunnels, there are always three pages: Registration, Thank You and Broadcast Room and Replay (for auotwebinar).
ClickFunnels Webinar Registration Page
The registration or signup page is the first part of the webinar that helps to capture your contact information for their seats to be reserved for your webinar.
ClickFunnels Webinar Confirmation Page
The confirmation page contains information confirming the date and time of the webinar with your visitor’s access link or welcome video.
ClickFunnels Webinar Broadcast Room
The Broadcast room is the last component of your webinar funnel. This would be the place that you are going to broadcast your live or evergreen webinar, depending on your configuration.

FAQ #3: What is the best way to drive traffic to a webinar page?
This is a hard question to answer though. But if I’m to just give a direct answer on the best traffic source for getting webinar signups, I would say paid ads method without thinking twice.
I have seen lots of marketers use Blogging, YouTube Ads and Facebook Ads and it worked pretty well for them.
If you’re the organic type then you can drive traffic to your webinar from your blog, YouTube channel, and Facebook group. Just as you may know – organic takes time.
For a quicker and measurable result to see what works and what doesn’t, better you start from paid Ads.
FAQ #4: How do I embed a webinar chat generator to my ClickFunnels?
A webinar chat generator allows you to add chat messages from your attendees to your evergreen webinar in order to stimulate the live webinar environment.
To do this on ClickFunnels, make sure you get a Funnel University account and access to the Dotcom Secrets Labs to create a new webinar chat.
FAQ #5: What are the tips to increase my webinar registration opt-ins?
While most of the amazing marketing tactics being used today were discovered by testing and optimizing different elements.
From my experience here are some of the little hacks I’ve seen that works miraculously when launching and driving traffic to your webinar funnel:
- Include social proof on your webinar registration page
- Make sure your headline is bigger and obviously more than any other text on your webinar page
- Always use images that invoke curiosity
- Use testimonials
- Enable exit pop-up on your registration page
- Use urgency and scarcity functions (like timers)
- You can split-test video versus image on your page
