How to Use LinkedIn to Fill Your Zoom Webinars and Close High-Ticket Clients

Video originally published April 17, 2025. Article version published March 17, 2026.

If you are an established coach or consultant and want to use LinkedIn to fill private Zoom webinars, you do not need more complexity. You need a system that turns attention into registrations, registrations into calls, and calls into clients.

That system is simpler than most people think.

In the video behind this article, Shanee Moret breaks down how she used LinkedIn to grow a private email list past 35,000 people by driving people to webinars, private masterclasses, and private challenges. The core idea is not “go viral first.” The core idea is to use LinkedIn’s built-in distribution features to create steady webinar demand.

The Two Biggest Myths About Filling Webinars from LinkedIn

Myth 1: You Need a Fancy Funnel Before You Start

You do not need a long sales page, a polished webinar funnel, or a complicated checkout stack before you start hosting webinars. If all you have is Zoom, that is enough to begin.

Zoom lets you require registration. That means people have to enter their name and email before they can attend. It may not be pretty, but it works. And if the real goal is to start collecting real names and real emails from interested prospects, simple beats delayed.

Myth 2: You Need a Huge Following

You do not need a million followers, a giant brand, or massive monthly views to fill a webinar and close clients.

Shanee shares examples that matter because they are small enough to feel realistic:

• a first webinar with roughly 30 registrations and 15 to 20 people showing live that led to 3 calls and 2 clients
• a client with about 3,000 followers who got about 30 registrations, 7 to 8 live attendees, 3 calls, and 2 clients
• another client with around 1,700 followers who got about 40 registrations, 15 live attendees, 8 calls, and 5 clients

The takeaway is not that numbers do not matter. It is that the quality of the room matters more than the size of the room.

The 5 Ways to Use LinkedIn to Fill Your Zoom Webinars

If Shanee were starting again and wanted to use LinkedIn to fill webinars and acquire inbound high-ticket clients, this is the five-part system she would use.

1. Go Live on LinkedIn Before the Webinar

Start with LinkedIn Live video because the people who like learning in a live environment are often the same people who will resonate with a webinar or masterclass environment.

If your webinar is four weeks away, go live at least twice in those four weeks. Each live should focus on a subtopic related to the webinar itself.

That part matters. If your webinar is about LinkedIn newsletters, then your live should cover a related subtopic about newsletters. If your live is unrelated, the registration pitch feels random and conversion drops.

During the live, share the webinar CTA more than once. Mention it at the beginning, mention it during the middle, and mention it again near the end.

2. Use a LinkedIn Newsletter to Warm the Right People

Launch a LinkedIn newsletter, publish weekly, and write editions on topics directly related to the upcoming webinar.

LinkedIn newsletters help in two ways: they give you a warmer subscriber pool, and they create another place where you can naturally point people toward the webinar registration link.

If your subscribers already care about the topic, then the webinar CTA feels like the obvious next step instead of a jarring sales move.

3. Post Daily in the 30 Days Leading Up to the Webinar

One post per day in the 30 days leading up to the webinar creates the necessary drumbeat.

Shanee’s recommendation includes:

• at least 3 short-form videos per week
• text posts
• polls
• explicit and strategic webinar CTAs

The CTA can appear in the content itself, in the comments, or as a DM prompt. For example, you can do a short video on “3 mistakes in your LinkedIn newsletter” and tell people to DM you the word webinar if they want the private training.

4. Use Strategic DMs, Not Spammy DMs

Nobody wants to be pitched immediately after connecting. That is one of the fastest ways to damage your personal brand on LinkedIn.

The better move is to use DMs only when interest has already been signaled.

Example: someone comments on your post asking a relevant question. That is a natural moment to say, “I’m doing a webinar on this on Saturday. Want the link?” If they say yes, send it.

That is different from pushing a cold invite. It is contextual, useful, and still inbound in feel.

5. Change the Main CTA on Your Profile

In the weeks leading up to the webinar, change the main CTA on your LinkedIn profile to the webinar registration link.

If you are posting consistently, more people will visit your profile. That means your profile should reflect the most important thing you want them to do next. During webinar season, that means the registration link.

The Conservative Webinar Math

One of the strongest parts of Shanee’s breakdown is the math, because it shows how reasonable this can be.

That totals 68 webinar registrations per month.

Using a conservative 33% show-up rate, that gives you about 22 live attendees. If the offer is good and the room is right, Shanee’s estimate is that 5 calls from that room is realistic, which can become 2 clients without even including replay follow-up.

At a $5,000 offer, that is $10,000 per month. At a $10,000 offer, that is $20,000. The deeper point is not the exact number. The point is that you do not need a massive room to make webinars profitable if the webinar is aimed at the right people.

Why This Works So Well

This works because LinkedIn webinar leads are usually warmer than generic funnel leads.

These people have seen your content. They have opted in because the topic matches a problem they already care about. They are not random. And because they are coming in through organic LinkedIn touchpoints, their intent is often stronger.

You are also not just filling one room. You are building an asset: the email list behind the room.

If you generate 68 registrations per month, that is 68 new email subscribers per month before compounding growth kicks in. Over 12 months, even with flat performance, that is more than 800 new contacts you own and can invite to future webinars, challenges, or live offers.

Who This Strategy Is Best For

This strategy is best for established coaches, consultants, and experts who:

• sell high-ticket offers
• can close well live or on follow-up calls
• want to grow an owned email list without relying on ads
• already have some LinkedIn traction, even if it is small
• are willing to publish consistently for a focused 30-day run-up

If you are already good at selling live, this can become one of the most efficient ways to turn LinkedIn into a revenue engine.

What to Do Next

1. Pick one webinar topic tied to a problem your ideal buyer already wants to solve.
2. Create the Zoom registration page and do not wait for a perfect funnel.
3. Plan 30 days of LinkedIn content around that topic.
4. Schedule 2 LinkedIn Lives before the webinar.
5. Use your newsletter, posts, DMs, and profile CTA to push registrations consistently.

Pitfalls to Avoid

• Waiting for a perfect webinar funnel before you start.
• Assuming you need a huge LinkedIn following before a webinar can work.
• Posting about unrelated topics and then wondering why the webinar CTA does not convert.
• Using cold, generic DMs instead of contextual, interest-based outreach.
• Forgetting that the real asset is also the email list you are building behind the webinar.
