HOW IT'LL ALL WORK
Let’s do a quick rundown of how the whole thing will work.
The event will be held January 25th-26th with pre-recorded presentations live streamed throughout the day.
Along with the presentations, there will be a community for attendees to hang out in, hold each other accountable, and ask all of us additional questions.
Leading up to the summit, we’ll have two weeks of promotion. You’ll be provided with email swipe copy, social media swipe copy, and social media graphics to make it all easy! We'll even have a suggested posting/sending schedule for you to make promo easy to outsource to a VA.
During the promotion phase, as the summit is running, and for a week after the summit is complete, we’ll also be promoting the All-Access Pass.
This includes extended access for the replays, and other goodies supplied by myself and you wonderful presenters!
This will provide immense value to our attendees, while making the work of promoting and creating a presentation worthwhile by allowing you to bring in affiliate commissions. Yay!
WHAT I'LL NEED FROM YOU
So this all sounds great, but what kind of work does it require of you? Let’s chat about it! Our goal is to make this all as easy as humanly possible so we can all have a blast while providing great value and growing our businesses.
1. Basic Information (Due ASAP)
The first thing we’ll need is some very basic information from you so we can finish up our registration page and Speakers page.
This information includes things like:
- Name
- Title
- Bio
- Square Headshot
Once you give me the thumbs up that you’re in, we’ll send you a link where you can upload all this information easily. Please click here to submit this information.
2. Presentation (Due December 13th)
Next up is your presentation! This is a 30 minute pre-recorded presentation that is meant to be more friendly and casual than perfect and structured. We want our attendees to learn something great, while having fun in the process.
Please structure your content in a way that allows attendees to walk away feeling like they've really learned something, rather than a webinar format where they feel like they're missing something that they need to buy from you asap.
With that being said, you have your choice of the following presentation formats:
- Slides
- No slides (just your gorgeous/handsome face)
- A mixture of the two
No matter what format you choose, you are free to use your presentation however you’d like in the future.
Your presentation should include great, actionable content. Here’s the suggested format:
- A quick introduction
- An overview of your topic
- Where people go wrong with your topic and tend to overcomplicate it
- Teaching section
- Specific action steps (with the goal of simplifying their existing process)
- Up to a 5-minute pitch
- Include questions for attendees to answer in the chat box throughout to boost engagement
3. All-Access Pack Contribution (Due December 13th)
The All-Access Pass will be a huge addition to the presentations we’re running. To make it even more valuable, we’ll ask each of you to provide one resource to add. This includes things like:
- eBooks
- Workbooks
- Courses (big or small)
- 1-month memberships
- Freebies
Note: We expect this to convert well so I do not recommend contributing any 1:1 offers.
It’s totally up to you to decide whether you’d like to create something new or provide something you already have. While this isn’t required, it’s highly encouraged that you participate.
Information for these resources is due on December 13th.
4. Promotion
The power of an online summit comes from a group of experts coming together for a single cause. The joint promotion that happens because of that is a huge benefit to everyone involved.
Because of that, everyone is encouraged to share on social media and to email their lists during the promotion period, starting on 1/13/2025
You’ll want to share using your affiliate link (sent to you via email) so you can get in on the 50% commission that will come from any All-Access Pass sales!
You’ll find swipe copy and graphics in the Resource Vault below.
AFFILIATE DETAILS
While summits are great for overall visibility and making new connections, a little extra income never hurts either, right?
That’s exactly why I’ve set up an affiliate program for the All-Access Pass where you’ll receive a commission from all sales from traffic you refer to the event. Payouts will be made within 60 days of the event. The commission structure is as follows:
- 50% for all speakers for any All-Access Pass sales made through your affiliate link.
To make it as easy as possible for you to generate extra income, the Resource Vault includes things like email swipe copy, social media copy, and social share graphics. However, you’re more than welcome to write your own copy and even run your own Facebook ads.Â
Just remember to use your affiliate link, which you can create by clicking here.
As with all affiliate promotions, be sure to disclose that you’re an affiliate when sharing with your audience.
RESOURCE VAULT
Now for those resources I promised to make your life as easy as possible.
In this folder you’ll find the following resources:
- Email swipe copy and suggested send dates
- Social media swipe copy and suggestion posting dates
