# Convert Webinar Registration Page - The Reg Page

> *"A webinar reg page has two jobs, not one. Get the registration. Get the show-up. Most pages optimize for the first and ignore the second - which is why most webinars run 18% live attendance. The Method does both."*

This skill builds the webinar registration page: Method-applied above-fold copy, time/date anchoring, three-bullet curiosity stack, and the show-up cues that lift live attendance.

## When to Use

Trigger phrases: `webinar registration page`, `webinar reg page`, `register for webinar`, `masterclass registration`, `free training registration`, `/convert webinar-reg <event>`.

Use when:
- The user has a scheduled live webinar (or an evergreen / "just-in-time" loop simulating live).
- A registration page needs to convert *and* drive show-up.

## When NOT to Use

- **The webinar script itself** → `/funnel conviction-webinar`.
- **Generic opt-in for a downloadable** → `/convert lead-magnet-page` or `/convert squeeze-page`.
- **Post-registration thank-you / calendar page** → `/convert thank-you-page`.
- **Replay / encore page after the live** → handled by the email pack + a thank-you-style template.

## Inputs

Required:
1. **Webinar title** + **the big promise** (one specific outcome the attendee will have at the end).
2. **Date/time** (or "starts in X minutes" if evergreen).
3. **Presenter name + Drive-By bio.**
4. **One person + Nerve.**
5. **Form destination + post-registration URL** (usually the thank-you page with calendar add + reminder setup).

Optional:
- **Attendance bonus** - something attendees get only if they show up live (drives show-up dramatically).
- **Brand colors / logo / presenter headshot.**
- **`out_path`** - defaults via `build_report_path`.

## Workflow - All Eight Method Phases

### Phase 0 - Four Questions

- **Why You?** - Why this *specific* webinar matters to this reader, this week.
- **Why Me?** - Drive-By presenter credibility.
- **Why This?** - Why this approach / mechanism / framework taught in the webinar.
- **Why Now?** - Real (the live date) + the attendance bonus + the cost of waiting.

### Phase 1 - Temperature

Webinar reg pages run **Cool to Warm**. For Ice Cold traffic, route through a bridge page first. Page length 400–900 words.

### Phase 2 - Four-Layer Open (call `convert-open`)

Compressed:
- Layer 1 = Nerve Strike headline that names the outcome.
- Layer 2 = Side Door subhead - the casual "I'm going to walk you through..." frame.
- Layer 3 = Skin in the Game in one paragraph (presenter's qualification to teach this).
- Layer 4 = Fingerprint as a one-line aside.

### Phase 3 - Three Locks

- **Want** = the post-webinar state.
- **Trust** = presenter Drive-By + one Anecdote.
- **Excuse** = "free, 60 minutes, you can leave anytime - and there's an attendance bonus for staying live."

### Phase 4 - Bullets (call `convert-bullets`)

The classic webinar reg-page bullet stack: **3 bullets**. One Keyhole, one Snapshot, one Flip. Each one is a curiosity gap that only the webinar resolves.

- *"Why everything you've been told about [X] is actually backwards - and the simple framework that fixes it in 20 minutes."* (Flip)
- *"How [name] used the [thing] to [result] - without [common requirement]."* (Snapshot)
- *"The [unexpected thing] that quietly determines whether [outcome] is even possible. (Slide 14.)"* (Keyhole)

Three. Not five. Not ten. Three is the canonical webinar bullet count for a reason - more dilutes curiosity.

### Phase 5 - Proof (call `convert-proof`)

One Anecdote or Receipt + one Drive-By for the presenter. Heavy proof distracts from the date/time anchor.

### Phase 6 - Cascade Close (call `convert-close`)

Compact:
- Stack - date, time, duration, attendance bonus.
- Vision - what they'll have at the end of the 60 minutes.
- Math - "free + your time."
- Safety Net - "you can leave anytime, no replay pressure."
- Door - the registration form button.

### Phase 7 - Greased Chute

The eye must move: headline → date/time → 3 bullets → form → presenter bio. Five movements, no detours.

### Phase 8 - Voice + Bullshit Filter

The biggest filter test: *"Is the big promise something I can actually deliver in 60 minutes, or is it bait?"* Over-promising on the reg page tanks both show-up *and* the post-webinar offer's conversion. Promise what you can deliver.

## Section Architecture

| # | Section | Purpose |
|---|---------|---------|
| 1 | Pre-headline (date/time + "live" anchor) | Time framing |
| 2 | Headline (big promise) | Open Layer 1 |
| 3 | Subhead (Layers 2–3) | Side Door + Skin |
| 4 | Date/time/duration block | Anchor + countdown |
| 5 | Three bullets | Curiosity stack |
| 6 | Registration form | Door |
| 7 | Presenter bio block | Trust anchor |
| 8 | Attendance bonus reminder | Show-up driver |
