How to Host A Virtual Summit To Grow Your Online Business in 2024
A fun, powerful, and very relevant way to grow your authority and your online business.
Enroll & Learn How to Run Your Own Virtual Summit!Hey there! My name is Damon but most people call me Coach Damon because I coach lacrosse goalies.
I recently finished hosting my 6th virtual summit for my lacrosse goalie business.
And I gotta tell you, these things are absolutely amazing!
Why ... you ask?
Let me count the ways.
1.) Virtual summits give your business a nice dose of revenue! For just a 4 day event ...
That doesn't even count sales of my order bump (!) nor sales of my training course (!!) after the summit ended 😉
The Virtual Summit structure is a simple, clean and effective way to make sales even if you don't have a product yet.
The Virtual Summit itself is a product you sell!
The way I setup the Summit also allows you to make sales in such a generous and giving way. It feels so good.
2.) Virtual summits are an amazing way to attract brand new leads!
My email list was tiny (<500) when I put on the 2nd summit and I added 858 new goalies, coaches, and parents to my list.
When you put on a virtual summit the word will start to spread and you will attract your fans.
The speakers will invite their fans to attend and those fans will become your fans.
This event will not only attract leads but very well qualified leads because if they signed up for your event we know they're very interested in that niche.
Each time I run a virtual summit now my list expands by thousands.
3.) Virtual summits make you an authority in your niche!
If you're going to be successful in online business, it helps if you can position yourself as an authority of your niche.
In his book Influence, author Robert Caldini lists "authority" as one of the psychological triggers that influences sales and persuasion.
Some think they can't host a summit because they're not an authority in the niche. To which I say this-
Virtual Summits make you an authority in your niche!
Even if you're a nobody in your niche, if you're able to assemble a panel of expert speakers, the audience will view the host (a.k.a you!) as an authority!
After my last summit, I got this email from the founder & CEO of a large lacrosse equipment company wanting to collaborate with me on their new goalie product!
4.) Virtual summits are so much fun!
Here's a screenshot of me discussing the game with a couple of goalies who played back in the 1970's and I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun it was to host this.
So many sessions were a lethal combination of laughs and "ah ha" moments.
Rod in the top left uses Zoom like my parents, with half the head cutoff the entire time 🤣
The chat of every session was full of comments of goalies and parents expression awe of how great this event was and how their youngster was learning.
5.) Virtual summits give you content, content, content!
Seriously, when the summit ends you never have to worry about content for your online business ever again.
Share video clips, quotes, amazing ideas you learned, funny moments, etc. - all on your social media.
