I still remember my first virtual summit No-show… boy was that tough.

See people always ask about Virtual Summit Tech, Virtual Summit Software and all that other stuff, but I always try to explain that the Tech is the least of their concerns, the most interesting challenge is dealing with the schedules and the people.

So what do you do when you have all the right Virtual Summit Software but your guest is a no-show.

Well you can be like Osayi A and get angry and sulk because you feel like these people don’t respect your time or the fact that you had to pay for a babysitter for your toddler, or that you didn’t sleep through the night preparing for the interview…etc. etc. etc.

Or you can be like Osayi B and say well, maybe they forgot, or maybe something important came up… expect the best and move on to more productive things. Yes it’s painful, Yes it’s an inconvenience, but that’s part of the whole process…

So what do I do now?

1. I reschedule them for a few days time, around the same time they requested.
2. Then I email them or send them a message on any social media platform letting them know that I’ve rescheduled them, but that they can let you know when will be convenient for them.
3. Then I go on to the next item on my to-do list

Keep the tone light and friendly, it’s nothing personally against you.

And if they still do not show up… guess what you have millions of other amazing speakers that would love the opportunity to be on your summit…so just move on.

And most times they will come back and apologize profusely – because most of the people you would consider for your summit are awesome anyway.

So don’t ever forget that you can master Virtual Summit Tech, you can Master Virtual Summit Platforms, but to be most successful as a Virtual Summit Host, you want to Master how to win friends and influence people.

The first blog I ever had led me to becoming a relationship coach.

I didn’t do it on purpose

but it was what many of my friends were talking about, so I would write about my opinions on being single, strong, and amazing.

Before I knew it, the blog resonated with quite a few people and I drew a bit of a following.

It took a while before I knew how to make money from the following though, but when I finally figured it out, I was more excited to share and blog because I knew I would make money from the process.

Throughout my experience with blogging I have learned that to make money as a blogger you need these 3 essentials.

1. Clarity – You need to be very clear about what you are talking about and who you are talking to. If you’re confused then those reading your blog will also be confused, so you need to work hard to ensure that you are very clear about exactly who you want to read your blog and what you want them to gain from your blog.
2. The next thing is planning – whenever I have planned my blog posts, I have found that I am able to make more income, but when things are not planned, I feel rushed, hurried and it becomes challenging to create the kind of income I want to create.
3. Influencers – One thing one of the speakers in the MoneyMaking Blog virtual summit said that stood out to me was that new leaders are not made they are appointed. So you need to connect with influencers so that you can be a leader in your industry and attract more clients and more income.

What are you struggling with in your business? What are you struggling with in regards to blogging?

Virtual Summits can be confusing for some people, but when you talk about some of the benefits of participating in the virtual summit, then you will see their eyes light up.

Speaking at Social Media Week  was so much fun, I met so many people, and I could tell that I was making a difference – that’s what makes life meaningful after all.

I learned so many things, and I want to share a few of them with you.

The first thing I learned is that there will be three types of people that attend your event:

• – People who need what you’re offering – Whatever solution you are providing they are interested in that, so you need to make sure that what you’re providing is actually giving them that solution.
• – People who like you – these people may not need what you’re offering, but they are interested in you, they want to support you, they want to learn from you. You want to provide some time for them as well, so they can get the fullness of your awesomeness.
• – People who want to know if you really know what you’re talking about – Well there are two different categories of people like this – some may want to know more about you so they can work with you in the future, others may want to look for a way to tarnish your image…be prepared, be prepared, be prepared.

So during my talk I tried to make sure that I was helping to meet the needs of the different groups of people that were there.

And this applies to when you are promoting your virtual summit – know that there will be three groups of people in attendance, so prepare for these groups of people.

The other thing I learned is that Virtual Summits can be confusing, so be prepared to explain what exactly it is and why people need to participate in it.

Now one thing I did was although my talk was about virtual summits, it wasn’t about virtual summits…I know it’s a bit confusing right?

Want to know more about what I mean? I will share with you in part 2 of this blog post
