They will do the bare minimum. Their audience will not hear a peep about your summit – Don’t stress about getting these big names.Look for people with the same audience as your summit and get specific on who you are helping.Make it as easy as possible for your speakers!If you can’t pay your speakers, give them a good affiliate deal – at least 40%.If you already sell something or have your own website already – you do not need to invest in a really expensive system to do your virtual summit!Adult brains only concentrate for around 17 minutes before they get distracted so aim for 15-20 minute presentations for your summit.Niche down for your summit and choose a topic that will create a transformation for them.When you know exactly who you are talking to and what you are going to help them achieve, it will be all-round easier to promote and get people to sign up.Speakers are the biggest thing for the promotion of your virtual summit.Give your audience a transformation they are going to care about and won’t want to miss the sessions about.The end goal of the thing you should sell should match up with the end goal of your virtual summit.Mention your offer throughout your summit in a natural way and make it clear there will be an offer at the end.Have your super fans as part of your summit.Give yourself 90 days to set up your virtual summit.Follow the process and do the steps!
