Summit Host Hangout®

Anytime you do something new in business, you're generally met with feelings of impostor syndrome. This is especially true for something as public as hosting an online summit. I get all kinds of doubt-filled questions from those thinking of hosting a summit for the first time. One of the most popular is something like, "But what if I don't have an email list? Can I still host a summit then?" In this episode, we're going to break down that question and cover whether you can host a summit with no email list, what to do if a speaker asks about your list size, and strategies to put into place to make sure your email list size doesn't hold back your results.

Leveraging affiliates can increase your summit's sales several times over. In fact, in my first 3 summits, affiliates have been responsible for 50% or more of sales. If you're starting with a small audience, that number can be even higher. To cover all things affiliates, I've brought in Zoe Linda to go over affiliate marketing basics, the biggest mistakes she sees, how to find good affiliates, how much to pay them, and some details on the tech and overall affiliate process.
