1.Check your calendar. One of the most important factors to consider is the time and date of your online event. You would want it to be convenient for your participants to ensure their availability. Before setting up the date, do a little research first. Check your calendar and make sure that there are no significant holidays that would interfere with attendance. You might want to check the analytics also to see when your target audience is usually online.
2. Utilize social media. If your goal is to gather more audience and participants for your digital event, you need to promote it. Almost everyone is online nowadays so the most practical and convenient way to do this is through social media. Determine the selling point of your event and use this as the key message to promote.
