What if that free event you’re hosting could actually help you get paid, and not just a little, but a lot? In this episode of Master the Media, Amy walks you through exactly how healthcare professionals can turn simple talks, demos, or even book signings into sponsored events. She shares real-life examples, including her own, and explains how even a low-key event with a small crowd can attract big-name brands. You'll learn what to offer sponsors, how much you can realistically earn, and why your first event doesn’t have to be perfect, it just needs to get started. Whether you're chatting with a local running club or dreaming up your own big gathering, Amy’s here to help you stop working for free and start getting paid for the value you bring.

Don’t miss the invite to Amy’s free live Q&A sessions happening on November 5. Details at https://masterthemedia.co/qa/
