When I was planning my very first Social Media Telesummit in 2007, I was a little nervous about hosting it. You see, I was known as a podcasting expert and while this tool is part of the social media toolkit, I wasn't sure I should be the one hosting a virtual event on the topic of social media.
I went ahead with it and this annual virtual event not only boosts my income each year, but it has helped raised my credibility and reputation in the marketplace which makes it so much easier to attract clients and joint venture partners.
If you're waiting for someone to give you permission to host a virtual event on your topic, you need to shake all your doubts aside and just go for it.
Here are a few reasons why you're the best person to host a virtual event on your topic:
You know ALOT about the topic.
You studied it for years, you have a degree or certification in it or you have experience working with a process, tool or procedure. For example, this year is my 10th year blogging. I started my first blog in 1999. I could easily host a virtual event about blogging due to the number of years I've used this tool. What do you know really well? Whatever it is, you can definitely host a virtual event on that topic.
You are your own success story.
Maybe you were once bankrupt and are now a self-made millionaire. Or, maybe you were angry and then, you developed a unique system that led you to a life of peace. If your mess is now your message based on a step-by-step system that you created, you are in a great position to host a virtual event.
My friend, Milana Leshinsky is an excellent example of this. When she first migrated to the United States from her native Russia, she started doing mini-websites for people. Eventually, she focused on helping coaches create multiple streams of income online. She went from making $100 here and there to a multi-million dollar business. She was more than qualified to host the Coaching Telesummit in 2005, 2006 & 2007.ur mess is now your message based on a step-by-step system that you created, you are in a great position to host a virtual event.
