Speaker Information + Resources

Let’s do a quick rundown of how the whole thing will work.

The event will run from August 6th - August 8th with 4 or 5  pre-recorded presentations running each day. These presentations will include about 20 minutes of content and some will include a live chat with the speaker for those who opt for that.

Along with the live presentations, there will be a Facebook group for attendees to hang out in, hold each other accountable, and ask all of us additional questions. If attendees have good questions while your presentation is available, you’ll be able to go live in the Facebook group for a bit of an encore to answer those questions, connect with the attendees, and provide even more value.

The additional Facebook live is not required at all, but if you want to, you’re welcome to connect with the audience even further!

Leading up to the summit, we’ll have two weeks of promotion. You’ll be provided with email swipe copy, social media swipe copy, and social media graphics to make it all easy! I'll even have a suggested posting/sending schedule for you to make promo as easy as possible. I know we all have a lot going on!

During the promotion phase, as the summit is running, and for a week after the summit is complete, we’ll also be promoting the All-Access Pass. This includes the replays of the presentations, a private audio feed of classes for those who want to listen on the go, bonus material from speakers and more. This will provide immense value to our attendees while making the work of promoting and creating a presentation worthwhile by allowing you to bring in affiliate commissions. Yay!

So this all sounds great, but what kind of work does it require of you? Let’s chat about it! My goal is to make this all as easy as humanly possible so we can all have a blast while providing great value and growing our businesses.

1. Basic Information

The first thing I’ll need is some very basic information from you so I can finish up our registration page and Speakers page.

This information includes things like:

• Name
• Title
• Bio
• Square headshot

Once you give me the thumbs up that you’re in, I’ll send you a link where you can upload all this information easily.

2. Presentation Slot Scheduled

The next thing I’ll need is for you to schedule your live Q&A time if you want to participate. Click here to see the list of times that are available and to schedule yours. (Slots are first-come-first-served so if you have a tight schedule be sure to grab your spot right away).

While your presentation will be pre-recorded, we’d love to have you participate in the Facebook group throughout the summit answering questions if you’re tagged or generally supporting the attendees if they have questions after your presentation is released. 

3. Presentation

Next up is your presentation! This is a 20-30 minute pre-recorded presentation that is meant to be more friendly and casual than perfect and structured. We want our attendees to learn something great, while having fun in the process.

Please structure your content in a way that allows attendees to walk away feeling like they've really learned something, rather than a webinar format where they feel like they're missing something that they need to buy from you asap. This whole summit is about value and serving our fellow dance educators.

With that being said, you have your choice of the following presentation formats:

• Slides
• No slides (just your gorgeous/handsome face)
• A mixture of the two
• Interview-style (you and I record an interview via zoom and discuss the topic)

If you’d like to go with the interview-style presentation, schedule a time with me to do that here. We can work together to come up with questions.

No matter what format you choose, you are free to use your presentation however you’d like in the future.

Your presentation should include great, actionable content. Here’s the suggested format:

• A quick introduction
• An overview of your topic
• Where people go wrong with your topic and tend to overcomplicate it
• Teaching section
• Specific action steps (with the goal of simplifying their existing process)
• Up to a 3-minute pitch and/or link  to a freebie the audience can download from you

Presentations are due by July 16th.

Find a PDF download with all this info here.

4. Worksheet

Worksheets that go with your presentation are very valuable to help our attendees TAKE ACTION! While optional, they are highly encouraged. You can either create one yourself or send me the copy and I'll create it with the Summit branding.

If you would like to use a Canva template with the Summit branding, you can find that here.

5. All-Access Pass Contribution 

The All-Access Pass will be a huge addition to the presentations we’re running. To make it even more valuable, I’ll ask each of you to provide one resource to add. (That said, I know you are not all business owners so this may not make sense for you, but I encourage you to contribute if you can!

This includes things like:

• eBooks
• Workbooks
• Courses (big or small)
• 1-month memberships
• Freebies

Note: I expect this to convert well so I do not recommend contributing any 1:1 offers.

It’s totally up to you to decide whether you’d like to create something new or provide something you already have. While this isn’t required, it’s highly encouraged that you participate.

Information for these resources is due on July 23rd. You'll receive a questionnaire to fill out closer to that time to make passing the information to be nice and simple.

6. Promotion

The power of an online summit comes from a group of experts coming together for a single cause. The joint promotion that happens because of that is a huge benefit to everyone involved.

Because of that, everyone is encouraged to share on social media and to email their lists during the promotion period, starting on July 26th

You’ll want to share using your affiliate link (which you can set up here) so you can get in on the 50% commission that will come from any All-Access Pass sales!

You’ll find swipe copy and graphics in the Resource Vault below.

7. Live Participation

And last comes participation during the week of the event. Since we’ll already have done the work of creating the presentations and extra resources, we’ll be able to sit back and relax for the most part!

All I ask is that you interact in the Facebook group throughout the weekend to help attendees stay excited and engaged and come to your scheduled Q&A if you opt to do it!

While you are not required to attend the events of other speakers, it’s highly encouraged! We’ll be able to get some great discussions going about the topics being presented.

While summits are great for overall visibility and making new connections, a little extra income never hurts either, right?

That’s exactly why I’ve set up an affiliate program for the All-Access PAss where you’ll receive a commission from all sales from the traffic you refer to the event. Payouts will be made by August 10th.

The commission structure is 50% for all speakers

The pricing structure will be:

• $97 for 20 minutes after initial registration
• $127 from July 26 - Aug 5
• $147 from Aug 6 - Aug 8

To make it as easy as possible for you to generate extra income, the Resource Vault includes things like email swipe copy, social media copy, and social share graphics. However, you’re more than welcome to write your own copy and even run your own Facebook ads.

Just remember to use your affiliate link, which you can create or look up here.

As with all affiliate promotions, be sure to disclose that you’re an affiliate when sharing with your audience.

Now for those resources I promised to make your life as easy as possible.

In this folder you’ll find the following resources:

• NOTE: Resources are added regularly, if it's not there yet it's coming soon!

• Summit branding information (in case you'd like to show off that you've been featured on your website)
• To do list with due dates so you can keep track of everything nice and easily
• Email swipe copy and suggested send dates
• Social media swipe copy and suggestion posting dates
• Social media graphics
• Slide templates (you’re free to create your own branded slides)
• Worksheet template (you’re free to create your own branded worksheet)

View the resources here.

Phew, that was a lot to cover! You’re awesome for making it this far :)

For the sake of clarity, here are your current action steps:

• Let me know you’re in or schedule a time to chat
• Provide your basic information once the link comes through
• Schedule your Q&A slot if you want to
• Sign up for your affiliate account
• Let me know if you have any questions up to this point!

Remember to grab your to-do list and get things added to your calendar. Because if you’re like me, if it’s not in your calendar it doesn’t exist.
