We're currently in a series about virtual summits for high-volume business owners: business owners who need a relatively high volume of leads or page views to hit their sales goals. If you haven't listened to the first episode in this series where I broke down if a virtual summit is right for you, and you think you might be a high-volume business owner, (aka you have a course, membership, or...

We’ve covered many of the ways that hosting a summit can benefit your business over the years, but the truth is that some business owners are in a position to benefit more than others.

Most online businesses can host a summit and see direct benefits for their business, but there are 3 key things I’ve found that can set you up for an incredibly successful event that takes full...

When most people think of virtual summits, they think email list growth and some added revenue. But the power of virtual summits is so much bigger than that.

This week, I’m so excited to introduce you to Shelby Devore, an experienced summit host, who has seen the results of her summits grow far beyond her wildest dreams, getting bigger and better with every summit she hosts. She went...

Today I want to touch on a topic that comes up a lot in the Launch with a Summit Accelerator, in our Facebook group, and most recently, with our summit production client and that is: what actually matters on your first day of promotion for your virtual summit.

If you’ve hosted a summit before, you might have run into what I’m about to talk about. And if you’re planning your...

One of the big benefits of summits that makes them so powerful compared to other launch methods is that you have 20+ speakers who are helping you get the word out about your event. But in order to experience those benefits, you need your speakers to promote!

Because speaker promotion plays a big role in the success of your summit, many hosts assume they need to have strict requirements and...

Instead of doing my typical annual goal setting that involves choosing launch dates, making revenue projections, and dreaming up all the new things I’m going to do in my business, I took a different approach this year.

It actually feels like I was forced to take a different approach because I’d filled my plate so full in December that I wasn’t able to slow down and make the...

Now that I’ve had some time to reflect on our most recent run of Sell with a Summit: Course Creator Edition, I’m excited to share my top takeaways on the podcast this week!

After a 2+ year hiatus on hosting summits for this business, our December 2022 summit was long overdue. Even though we ran this same event back in 2020, and we’ve run several summits for a different...

We talk a lot about selling with a summit around here, but did you know you could actually sell the summit itself!?

In this week’s episode we’re diving into a bit of a different topic, because rather than teaching a strategy about how to host a great summit, I’m sharing the story of how I sold my original Simply Profitable Designer Summit brand after 6 profitable rounds of...

Have you ever felt like you’re not a big enough deal to land the speakers you dream of having in your summit lineup?

Pitching speakers is one of the biggest things I see holding people back from moving forward with their summits. The fear of getting rejected and hearing nothing but “no” when you start sending pitches is very common. And if you’re thinking about...

If there’s one thing I can say for certain about 2022, it’s that this year was full of transitions. So many things changed in terms of what’s working and not working in online business this year, and I know we’re not the only ones who have been experimenting and evolving as the industry changes.
