Build Your Email List by Doing an Online Event…..a Telesummit
Building your list is essential in today’s online business world. The best way to do that is by hosting an online event(telesummit). This way your list is genuinely interested in what you do! When done properly, you could capture the attention of possibly thousands of prospective customers.
You may be asking what is a telesummit(or teleseminar). Wikipedia says it best….
“Teleseminars provide an opportunity for a host to provide information to a large number of people at one time. It allows a trainer to train many participants at once, one on many rather than one on one.[3] These conference calls are typically recorded. There is typically a fixed period of time devoted to the presentation of information followed by another fixed period of time for questions and answers.”
Benefits of a telesummit:
- Lead Generation: Telesummits are very effective at generating traffic,opt-ins, and sales. You get to use not only your own audience but that of at least 20 others….reaching potentially 100,000+ people!
- Sets you up as an expert in your field.
- Expands your market reach
A few things you need to know when beginning the telesummit journey:
First and foremost, they should NOT be stressful! They should be exciting and fun.
Next, determine your theme. Know your niche. It needs to be something that your audience will WANT to hear and be a part of.
There are a few ways to do a telesummit. Your options are audio, video, or live. Prerecorded is the best option as you can edit and everything can look professional. But the other ways work well, too!
Hire a VA. Seriously, you cannot do it all alone. Especially if you have never done one or never used all the platforms needed (Aweber, OptimizePress, WordPress, Vimeo, Pretty Links….just to name a few!) There are a lot of little pieces of the puzzle that can be overwhelming unless that is ALL you have to do. There are a lot of platforms you will need and you do not want to be working on this last minute.
Having a good email list is vital to your online businesses. You must email market to people so that they know you are there. They need to have you in the forefront of their minds and the only way to do that is by having a strong list.
