Plan to write at least 25 marketing emails and include subtle reminders to upgrade in them all. Make the benefits of upgrading crystal clear.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nBuild authority with your virtual event<\/b><\/h2>\n
As the event host, you build authority by associating with so many wise leaders in your niche.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n“It fits really well with the Creator Smarts business model, where you have a course, maybe consulting or coaching. It’s a great way to get known in your industry and build authority and get people to know more about you.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nUse your conference as an opportunity for networking, a chance to connect with people you already know and with those you only know by reputation.<\/span><\/p>\nAsk speakers to nominate others who might be interested in joining you.<\/span><\/p>\nWho has an audience similar to yours? Widen this to include related niches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nE.g. A language summit could also include travel bloggers, YouTubers, teachers, polyglots, specialists in beginner, intermediate and advanced learners, book and app creators and more.<\/span><\/p>\nAim high – there’s no harm in asking the “big players”, and if you ask in the right way, some of them will probably agree to join in.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nUse a high-success pitch to secure speakers<\/b><\/h2>\n
People in the online world love to connect with others. They want to know what’s going on in their industry and alleviate the loneliness of online work. Many will remember that they had help when they were unknown and want to pay that forward by helping you. The key lies in pitching your summit in the right way.<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Make the value clear: show their opportunities for lead generation and affiliate revenue.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Demonstrate momentum: mention other people who’ve already said yes and quote combined audience numbers.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Be diplomatic, and show that you’re going to be very easy to work with.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Be well organised throughout the process.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Thank everyone afterwards. It’s not usual to offer direct payment for speaking, but people will appreciate and remember a warm thank you. It could be as simple as a thoughtful card or even flowers and a thank you note.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
There’s really no limit to hosting a virtual event. Of course, you’ll have to work hard, but the benefits to your business from a successful summit are enormous.<\/span><\/p>\n“As long as you know that people are interested in your niche you can do a conference and you will have that as a product and as a lifetime evergreen opportunity for your business, whether it’s lead generation or a consistent money earner.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nNeed a hand?
