The sad truth is that it’s far too common for people to lose the joy of working in marketing… particularly when it comes to social media. 😕⁠
⁠
I used to love creating and trying different things and as soon as it become my full time job I felt plagued by the pressure of creating stuff for the likes, comments and shares.⁠
⁠
But as soon as I changed my language with clients from ‘here are the results we got’ to ‘here’s what we learned’ everything shifted. All of the sudden, the joy was back. 🤪⁠
⁠
And so now I try to approach everything with fearless creativity. ⁠
⁠
That doesn’t mean it’s not scary to do something new… it just means I can now feel the fear and do it anyway. ⁠
⁠
Because, let's face it, as long you approach the creative process with kindness… what’s the worst that can happen? No one likes what you put out there? Yeah that’s scary. 🤷‍♀️⁠
⁠
And to that I say please go watch “The Boy Next Door” on Netflix. It’s an objectively terrible movie. I truly believe that the 12% it received on Rotten Tomatoes is seriously generous. ⁠
⁠
But… does it make me love J.Lo any less? Never. Is it going to stop me from watching any of her future movies? Absolutely not. ⁠She's a freakin' queen and one bad movie doesn't change how I feel about her.⁠
⁠
So I guess what I’m saying is… unleash your inner J.Lo… 🙋‍♀️ create, show up, do the thing that brings you joy even if it scares the crap out of you… and remember to celebrate the wins and learn from the losses.⁠
⁠
And I promise that the right people will stick around throughout it all. ❤️

Online events (whether live or pre-recorded) have the power to get your audience to laugh with you, cry with you, trust you and ultimately buy from you.

But there’s a lot of moving pieces and a lot can go wrong in the promotion, ex*****on and follow-up stages of your online event.

So after working on many successful (and some not-so-successful 🙃) online events for myself and my clients, I have a lot of amazing tips to share with you in this class.

By the end, you will know how to:
➡ Create a profitable promotion strategy based on objectives, audience needs, budget and competitor research.
➡ Identify both organic and paid promotion efforts at each stage of promotion.
➡ Construct an effective sales pitch to present at your online event.
➡ Identify areas to monitor for possible obstacles within your promotion strategy.
.. and LOTS more!
