Masterclass on throwing perfect events



Hey [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE],

You've probably never heard of Bari Baumgardner.

But in the 15 years leading up to the pandemic, Bari helped her clients earn $700 million from events.

...and in the 2 years that FOLLOWED the pandemic, she helped them earn $500 million in revenue.

That's right – Bari helped her clients earn $500 million in just two years using virtual events. She's worked with some of the biggest names in the business like Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, and Gabby Bernstein.

This is one of the most specific, tactical episodes we've ever made talking about how to throw the perfect 3-day event. Here are a few of the takeaways:

  • Day 1: Content, connection, community. Make people feel like the goal is possible.
  • Day 2: Pain, solution, invitation. Make people feel like the goal is possible for THEM.
  • Day 3: Decision, commitment, celebration. Help people determine how and when they're going to reach the goal.

It's full of all kinds of other tidbits like:

  • How to pay for an event venue after the event
  • How to structure your live sessions (and avoid what Bari calls a "speaker buffet")
  • The best locations and day of the week to host your events to save (did you know the day least in-demand for hotels is Sunday?)

It's honestly one of the most insight-dense episodes I've ever made. It made ME more excited about the prospect of putting on my own event – would you be interested in attending?

Being a creator often means going at it alone. And because you know your email list is your most important asset, you’re always looking for new ways to crack that growth code.

But no matter what you do, you can’t break through those growth plateaus on your own. Especially since so many list growth strategies require a lot of time.

You need to find a way to scale your growth that doesn’t involve busy work like posting more on social media, relying on an algorithm, or other time-consuming tasks.

With the Creator Network, email list growth becomes much easier and faster because you’re collaborating with other creators to grow together.

Hey [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE], Word of mouth is still among the most powerful forces for spreading ideas, brands, content, etc. If you want your work to spread, you need to think about word of mouth.

Hey [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE], Some creators are just so prolific. I used to look at those creators publishing every day on [name your platform] and wonder, "How do they come up with all of this stuff??" I've always been slow to form or share my opinions. Unless I'm asked, I generally keep to myself. Unfortunately, that's not very conducive to frequent publishing! But then I noticed something – when I was asked a question, I had no problem coming up with a coherent response. I realized...

Hey [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE], This week, we're crossing an item off of my podcasting bucket list. Recently I spoke with podcasting legend Guy Raz. And that's not just me saying that – The New York Times called Guy "one of the most popular podcasters in history." The numbers back it up – Guy's podcasts are heard by 19 million listeners per month! You probably know Guy from his biggest podcast, How I Built This where he interviews the world’s best-known entrepreneurs to learn how they...
