8 Ways Virtual Events Quickly Boost Your Biz (Or, 8 Reasons Why Online Entrepreneurs Need to Host Their Own 100% Original Telesummit)
June 12, 2009 by Gina Bell
Filed under FREE Expert Articles, Telesummit
How to host successful virtual events – like tele-series and tele-summits is a strategy that EVERY entrepreneur who wants a huge, targeted and highly profitable list of subscribers needs to know.
What is a virtual event? Very simply, it is a series of teleseminars hosted with a team of experts (your joint venture partners) on a particular topic or theme.
For example, each year we host the Networking Masters Telesummit during International Networking Week. And each year, the event attracts a ton of new and relevant subscribers and revenue too. We grow our business in leaps and bounds rather than inching along like we used to.
Here are 8 reasons why hosting a virtual event is our most effective and profitable marketing strategy:
1) RAPID LIST BUILDING: The collective promotional effort of the joint venture team creates massive exposure. For example … 10 high profile joint venture partners with an average list size of 10,000 means that your event will be exposed to 100,000 people. That’s good for you – and, it’s good for your joint venture partners too
2) RELEVANT LIST BUILDING: When done correctly – the flood of new subscribers you attract through your virtual event are targeted and relevant to your area of expertise. So, you get the best of both worlds: quantity + quality. And, when it comes to list building this is a winning combination!
The more relevant your list, the easier it is to build rapport and the more likely they are to become a paying customer.
3) IMMEDIATE REVENUE: A virtual event when planned the right way provides a valuable opportunity to generate immediate revenue. That’s right, a percentage of the targeted and relevant subscribers you attract will become paying customers immediately.
4) DIVIDE THE EFFORT MULTIPLY THE EFFECT: In my opinion, a virtual event is the ultimate leverage. By partnering with other experts in your niche, the collective energy and effort grows your list, boosts your credibility and stimulates revenue. Now you can impact more people AND… do more and more of what you LOVE to do!
5) CATALYST FOR GROWTH: A virtual event is a catalyst for tremendous growth. My business grows by leaps and bounds rather than inching along. I’m also able to leverage the momentum and buzz a virtual event creates. And you can too!
6) CREDIBILITY THROUGH ASSOCIATION: When you partner with other highly respected experts in your field, it boosts your credibility by association. And, as the lead of the joint venture, you boost your fame factor too! “Oh wow! You know [insert name of super cool guru JV partner]? I’m impressed”
7) POWERFUL AND PROFITABLE RELATIONSHIPS: Collaborating and creating joint ventures with other experts boosts your credibility through association. As you add value and increase to their lives, they want to add value and increase to you. These mutually beneficial win-win relationships are priceless.
MARKETING BECOMES FUN AND EASY! Marketing becomes easy and fun! The momentum each event creates allows me to get the biggest results for my investment of time and money. The key word here again is LEVERAGE. Virtual Events is SMART marketing on steroids!
Have you been sitting on the sidelines watching and envying others who are taking leaps in their business with virtual events?
Now, it’s your turn …
You’ll be amazed how simple it really is. If you’re ready, I’m ready to teach you, in detail, exactly how to create your own 100% unique Telesummit so you can enjoy a flood of new targeted subscribers, instant credibility and more money too!

2) “The Heart of Marketing” – by Judith Sherven and Jim Schniechowski
As you know, we’re very careful about what I recommend to you. But for those of you out there who are running your businesses, dealing with clients and tired of all the hypey-hype slick marketing spiels that are out there, here’s one book you must have.
“The Heart of Marketing: Love Your Customers and They Will Love You Back” is a wonderful best-selling book written by my friends and colleagues, Judith and Jim.
This amazing couple blend their psychology training and marketing savvy to deliver a powerful resource for those of us, like myself, who want to connect with clients on an authentic level. They have pioneered what is known as Soft Sell Marketing, which has become an international movement creating a heart-based change in commerce — to one of consciousness and conscience, caring and community.

Networking with Ease eZine – Volume 2 Issue 7

Hello Networking Entrepreneurs!
A warm welcome to all of our new subscribers! We’re so happy to have you as part of our community.
One thing you’ll come to know for certain is that I (Gina Bell, your Publisher today) LOVE quotes! And I’ve found the perfect one to kick off this issue of Networking with Ease… it’s inspiring and thought provoking too!
“You are one connection away from being able to change your life.”
Author, Larry Bennett
So often we hear stories of chance meetings and “million dollar connections”. And it’s absolutely true that you never know WHO will open the door to your biggest, most exciting opportunities.
Connecting with others in meaningful ways certainly paves the way for life changing relationships. The question is… are you paying attention?
In this week’s issue of Networking with Ease, our feature article explores this very topic and how “conscious networking” is essential to making meaningful (even million dollar) connections. Enjoy!
Happy Networking!

Conscious Networking… Are You Paying Attention?
~ Gina Bell Bell, co-Founder of Networking Masters International
Today, more than ever before, it’s essential that entrepreneurs develop and really leverage their networking skills.
When the economy thrives the focus tends to be on financial capital, financial equity, physical assets, etc… it’s a lot easier to access funding through a bank or investors right.
During times of economic uncertainty… purse strings are tightened, access to financial support is limited or non-existent. All of a sudden the same assets and equity no longer have the same degree of leverage.
What entrepreneurs often don’t realize is that relationships and the social equity developed as a result has a direct reflection on financial capital.
Surrounding yourself with a network of people who really care about your success is like having an insurance policy for success – regardless of the economy. This network, your community will provide strategic introductions, referrals, information, advice and more… all of which can have a dramatic financial result.
So, have you started paying closer attention to your network yet? Do you have a follow up keep in touch plan? Are you staying visible? Are you memorable? Are you adding value and increase to the lives and businesses in your community? (this applies to your online networks too).
Action Tip: Spend some time thinking about this today and take it one step further… identify two people that you know who should meet based on mutual interest or mutual goals. Introduce them. Tell them why you think they should connect – who knows, you may have set the stage for their “million dollar connection”
Here are two more great articles to get your networking working:
- * An Interview with co-Founder Stephen Bell on “True Networking”
- * Media Releases… Defining Your Audience by Networking with the Media expert Susan Regier
