Virtual Summit Workshop

Grow your list. Get paid. Become a leader in your industry.

Virtual summits are the business world’s best-kept secret when it comes to scaling your income and impact. And newsflash: you don’t need tons of time, money or experience to make your virtual summit successful.

People want to connect. This has never been a secret, but over this past year we’ve seen just how important human connection is.

You might have heard of Clubhouse, an audio chat app. Did you know that it was recently valued at $4B in April 2021? Yeah, that’s BILLION.

$4,000,000,000.

Whether you love or hate the app, it’s success comes down to one thing — it got people together in a way that felt authentic, educational and inspiring.

BUT it can be hard to stand out on Clubhouse, especially if you find yourself listening all the time and never getting a chance to share your own story.

Leave the sidelines and start establishing yourself as a leader in your industry

One of the best ways to raise your profile and get people interested in you and your services is to speak at a virtual summit or virtual event.

You’re in front of an interested audience that is tuning in to hear what you have to say – and this translates into opportunities for you and your business.

Here’s the thing though – when you’re speaking at a summit, you only have a short time to meet your audience. What makes it even harder is that you’re one of the many speakers that are all trying to capture the attention of the attendees.

That’s why hosting your own virtual summit or event is the BEST way to position yourself as an expert, influencer, and authority figure in your field.

You’re constantly in front of the audience, and you have as many opportunities as you want to increase that all-important “Know, Like and Trust” Factor.

By hosting the event, YOU are the name everyone remembers long after the event is over.

How do Virtual Summits work?

Here’s what makes hosting a summit so special:

You don’t need an existing audience to host a summit. You just need an idea.

So how do you come up with that idea?

Virtual Summits have previously only been available to those on the “inside” – because there’s a lot of work that goes into creating one, even if you know what you’re doing.

These insiders use their years of experience in marketing to create summits that bring them thousands of new leads and prospects.

Now I’m sharing the secret playbooks that these marketers use to create and host successful events in a special two-day workshop designed to help YOU create a summit.

The Virtual Summit Workshop helps coaches, therapists, experts and entrepreneurs create, launch and run a profitable lead-generating summit…

…even if you’ve got no audience or no idea how to even get started.

This is an action session - you'll create a plan covering:

Your summit audience
Your summit topic and subtopics
Your summit length & dates
Your summit format (e.g. live or pre-recorded, interview/Q&A or presentation)
How many speakers you’ll have, and what kind of speakers
Plan for finding speakers
How to monetize your summit, both during and after
And more!

I’ll be sharing the steps I took to add 650 people to my mailing list in just a few weeks after starting my business. I then repeated those steps again a few months later to add another 836 people. The plan you’ll create in this workshop can be implemented again and again.

You’ll get the recordings from the whole event along with downloadable worksheets, so you can go back and review the materials at your own pace and revise them again.

Thomas Ballard attended the workshop in May, and said “Hey everyone, I’m Tom Ballard and I just completed Steve Eriksen’s Virtual Summit Weekend workshop and I’m normally pretty jealous of my weekends and try not to schedule things on them.

So it was a big commitment for me to take an entire weekend to go through the class, but in the end, it turned out to be very much worth my time, and I really appreciate Steve’s effort that he put into this and all the information I got from it.

Steve has a really great conversational style, and it made it very easy to listen to him. He packed a lot of information in, but did it really kind of in a low key conversational style, and the format of the presentation was really interactive so we could stop and ask questions when we needed to, and the worksheets that were involved also helped kind of stimulating a lot of conversation and and some discussion about different things, so that, to me, I really got a lot out of it.

So I would highly recommend this workshop to anybody who’s thinking about getting into the virtual summit business and Steve’s your man, he’s got EventRaptor coming up and I’m looking forward to that as well to as as the back end for for your summits and so, so much going on. I appreciate you Steve and looking forward to future classes from you.”

So it was a big commitment for me to take an entire weekend to go through the class, but in the end, it turned out to be very much worth my time, and I really appreciate Steve’s effort that he put into this and all the information I got from it.

This workshop is for you…

EVEN IF you have no mailing list or existing audience
EVEN IF you have tried it before and now have "Summit PTSD"
EVEN IF you only have 1-2 hours a day to work on your summit
EVEN IF you don't have the budget to hire someone to do the work for you
EVEN IF you thought only the "gurus" with big lists could do it
EVEN IF you had never even heard of a summit before now (you're welcome)

What about that admin work I mentioned?

Remember how I told you that summits were previously only available to insiders? Until now, implementing and creating a summit has taken so much time that someone just starting out just can’t do it all themselves.

Even if you know what you’re doing, there’s still 50-60 hours worth of work to do to implement everything.

And if you’re trying to handle the 20 other things on your plate, serve your clients and run your business, it becomes too much for someone to handle.

Those insiders have teams of people behind the scenes running everything for them. But unless you already have someone to do it for you, you need to go out and find someone with the skills you need… not to mention paying them THOUSANDS for their time!

That’s why I created EventRaptor – THE software tool designed to make summits and other virtual events accessible to everyone.

It’ll save you 90% of the work needed to create your summit – and it’ll handle the admin and tech for you.

BONUS: 6 Months Access to EventRaptor Pro - worth $498.50!

EventRaptor is THE software tool designed to run summits the way the insiders do

When I was hosting my first summit, I looked at the different software options on the market to try and save me time, and none of them were suited to my needs.

One of them charged HUNDREDS of dollars each month just for affiliate tracking – one of the MOST IMPORTANT features you need to have.

So I’m building EventRaptor from the ground up based on my OWN needs running my own summits.

I don't want all the difficult (and... boring!) admin and tech stuff get in the way of your amazing summit. So EventRaptor does the work for you

I'm giving you the best I have

I’m all about ACTION.

I’m putting on the Virtual Summit Workshop to help you CREATE your summit.

I’m giving you template resources to help you PROMOTE that summit.

And I’m giving your the system to help you IMPLEMENT everything.

All that’s left is for you to show up.

So I ask you – are you in?

Got questions?

There are so many other ways to grow my list, why should I do this?

That’s true – and I’ve tried a lot of them in my 20 years in marketing. Hosting a summit has been the #1 method for me and my business, and so it’s the one I can most authentically recommend to you.

Do I have to be an extrovert/expert host/confident person/____ to do this?

Jeez, no. When I did my first summit I was like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Yet I had 27 speakers over 4 days, live. You can do a pre-recorded summit, and you don’t even have to appear on camera! Of course, you’ll get more authority and exposure if you do, but rest assured, anyone can host a summit.

Will this really work for me?

Can you follow the system? Then it will. Period. Full-stop. End of story. I’m here with you to make your summit a success.

How quickly can I launch a summit?

Let’s be honest. I put together my first summit in 2 weeks, with a little bit of help. Others I have spoken to spent 6 months putting it together. Are you a doer? Or talker? Or planner? Or do you get your head down and do what needs to be done? That’s really the bottom line. I can give you the tools and strategies, but I cannot do the work for you. You’ll get back what you put in!

Will it work for me? I’m a XYZ coach/therapist/practitioner/provider and I struggle to find people in my ideal target market.

Heck yeah. With one caveat. You don’t need to find people in your target market. You need to find speakers who have lists of people in your target market. We might be able to help with that, but finding speakers is pretty much the main task that will be your responsibility.

Wait, what? I do not need to have my own list?

Nope. Repeat after me: Summits GROW lists. I myself started with pretty much close to ZERO people on my list, and after running 2 summits I added more than 1,500 to my mailing list. And it didn’t cost me anything – I MADE MONEY whilst building my list. All because of the system I will share at the workshop.

I’m in a crowded market - everyone is doing a summit.

Wow – excellent proof that it WORKS! Join them in building YOUR authority, Know, Like and Trust!

What if I don’t have enough time?

I used the system I am teaching you, and the software behind it, to run 2 summits. At the first one I had 27 speakers, live, over 4 days. At the second one I had 37 speakers, live, over 5 days. For my last one I spent less than 10 hours on admin work, after the speaker recruitment was done. The system is so straight-forward, and the tools you’re getting will save sooooo much time, that you can plan and execute a summit in a FRACTION of time it takes other people.

How much time will I need to spend on it?

Early on, you’ll decide yourself how much time you have to spend. Then you’ll choose a path that is possible in the available time. Typically you will spend the most time on recruiting speakers – finding them, talking to them, and making sure they’re a good fit. After that – depends on the path you’re taking. Is it live? Pre-recorded? Hybrid? Interview or Presentation style? We’ll go through it all and you choose what fits your timeline.

How do I know the Virtual Summit Workshop is a right fit for me?

If you fall into any of these categories, it’s the right fit for you:

You know you want to do a summit, but have been totally put off due to the amount of time and effort involved. And you want an easier path.
You want to grow your list, without spending too much money, and start making sales.
You’re already planning a summit, and feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything you have to get done.
You’re bored with all the other marketing and list building stuff you have to do, and feel excited about trying something new 😀
You have a thriving business and want to expand your reach, and build your authority even further!

6 Months of EventRaptor PRO, to help you IMPLEMENT your summit

As a coach or creator, running a virtual summit is a great way to grow your audience and connect with new communities.

Most people have two challenges when creating a summit:

Working with all the tech, including attendee registration, managing automated & personalized communication with speakers, and reporting & analytics
Having to spend 50-100 hours (or paying someone for 50-100 hours) to set up and implement everything, including web pages, collecting speaker info, and sending reminder emails to both attendees and speakers

That’s why I built EventRaptor – to make hosting Virtual Summits accessible and easy to coaches, creators, and online entrepreneurs like you.

We’re enabling people just like you save 90% of the work needed to put together a summit (not to mention the stress of having to deal with it all).

I’d love for you to give it a try and host the event you never thought possible.
