For the host with views but no names
Before you chase more traffic, look at the page. A clearer title, an agenda a stranger can skim, one real speaker section and a shorter form will move a registration count further than another post.
The page counts views and it counts the share of those views that register. That is the whole set of measurements available here, and it is more useful than most analytics dashboards, because it answers one specific question: is the traffic wrong, or is the page wrong?
Lots of views and a low sign-up rate means people read it and were not convinced, so the fix is the page. Few views and a healthy rate means the page works and the send is thin, so the fix is where the link goes. Resist the instinct to do both at once; pick whichever number is actually off.
Ordered roughly by how much each one moves the rate, and none of them needs new traffic.
Say what someone will know how to do afterwards, not what the topic is broadly about. An event called 'Pricing' gets scrolled past; 'How I repriced four workshops in a month' gets read.
Chapters with a duration and a takeaway each, so the forty minutes has a shape. A guest who can see the middle of the session is far likelier to commit to it.
Name, role, a photograph and a few lines of biography. If you are the speaker, this is the highest-trust block on the page and the one most often left thin.
Name and email, plus only the questions you would genuinely read. Each extra field costs registrations, and the cost is paid by people you never hear from.
Chats where the topic is relevant, one email to a segment that fits, and your own signature. A send aimed at the right twenty people beats one aimed at the right thousand.
The same session described twice, which is the difference most low-converting pages are actually making.

Workshop: how I repriced four workshops in a month. Thursday 19 March, 18:00 CET, forty minutes plus ten for questions. You will leave with a price you can defend and the email I send when someone says it is too expensive.
Twenty minutes: the three quotes I turned down and what they told me about where the price actually sat.
Registrations are the first half of the number; attendance is the point of them. Leave the automatic reminder emails switched on at short notice or long, since they arrive at twenty-four hours, one hour and fifteen minutes and are the cheapest turnout you will ever buy. Use the seat cap to create a real reason to answer today rather than an invented one — the page already shows places left and says when it is full, and a waitlist catches the overflow instead of losing it.
One honest caution: there is no approval step on registrations, and no clever filter that turns a browser into a committed attendee. What you get is names, statuses you maintain yourself, and the rate. Fix the page, fix the send, and count again on the next one.
How it works
Views and sign-up rate, before changing anything. They tell you whether you have a page problem or a distribution problem, and only one of them is fixed by writing.
Outcomes in ordinary language, in the description where guests really do see them rather than in a block that never renders.
Chapters with durations and takeaways, a photograph and a short biography. Two blocks that answer 'is this worth an hour' better than any badge.
Remove the questions you would not read, leave reminders on, and compare the sign-up rate on the next send against this one.
Questions
There is no number I can quote honestly, and a page that gives you one is guessing. Use your own rate as the baseline and compare the next session against it, changing one thing at a time.
Any field you do not need hurts it a little. Questions you genuinely read — a job title for a role-specific session, a country for a time-zone decision — pay for themselves. Two or three thoughtful ones is usually the sensible ceiling.
Say what is true. The page can show places left and states when it is full, and a waitlist catches the people who arrive later. Invented scarcity is the one tactic that costs trust rather than registrations.
It cannot. One webinar page is one session, so a second date needs its own page, its own list and its own reminders. A combined link would only confuse both audiences.
Not a question this page can answer, and the cheap test comes first: fix the title and the agenda, send to a segment that fits, and see what the rate does before spending anything on reach.
Get Started
Title, agenda, speaker, form, and one honest send. Change those, watch the sign-up rate, and only then look for more traffic.
