223: Hosting Your Own Event for Positioning and Revenue with Lisa Princic

Hosting your own event can be incredibly valuable for you and your business.

It can position you as an expert and authority in the topic of your event; it can expand your visibility to new audiences; and it can build your email list and bring in revenue.

There are different types of events you can host: live vs. pre-recorded; one day vs. multiple days; online or in person. 

Here at Speaking Your Brand, we hosted our Brave. Bold. Beyond. Live Virtual Summit in April 2021 and in October 2020. We chose to do it live on one day: all of our speakers delivered their talks live on the day of the event.

My colleague and business coach Lisa Princic took a different approach to the summit she hosted in February (called The Profitable Membership Summit): hers was pre-recorded presentations and interviews, with some live components, over a period of a few days.

I invited Lisa on to the podcast to talk about:

• The specific goals she had for her summit
• Why she decided to structure hers the way she did
• How she chose her speakers and curated the content
• The price points she had and why she decided to charge more than others typically do
• The results she got
• Changes she’ll make for next time

About My Guest: Lisa Princic helps impact-driven business owners dive deep into their unique value and business models to build sustainable & profitable brands. She helps them simplify their offers, increase their visibility with bolder messaging, strengthen and deepen their marketing systems and scale with membership programs. She is a trained business strategist and the host of the Scaling Deep Podcast. Lisa is a results-oriented, deep thinker who has a knack for “seeing” the value of each business and turning that into a pipeline of ideal clients. A staunch believer in business simplicity and intention, Lisa helps her clients accomplish their goals by focusing on what to do AND what to ignore.
