SUMMIT SPEAKERS INFORMATION + RESOURCES
welcome!!!
A warm welcome to all of our amazing and talented speakers. This area is your VIP lounge. We are so grateful that you have chosen to participate in the Pin Potential Summit. We are bringing together the brightest minds when it comes to Pinterest marketing.
The Pin Potential Summit is a 3-day virtual event focused on bringing awareness and education about Pinterest Marketing to online business owners. The summit aims to initiate and facilitate high-quality free learning about Pinterest. We are also aiming to bring visibility to the potential of Pinterest in terms of reach, audience growth, and increasing the impact of businesses to successfully market and advertise their services and products.
Woah, Meagan. That’s a lot!
Basically… We want to help online biz owners use your expert advice, strategies and stories to unlock the potential that Pinterest holds for them to grow their business and work towards hitting their marketing goals this year.
On this page you will find all kinds of resources to make your life as a speaker as easy as possible and answer any questions you may have. If you run into a question I haven’t covered, please email the support team at team@pinpotential.com or ask over in the Facebook group.
As a speaker, you’ll also get totally free access to the All-Access Pass!
How It Will Work
Okay, so let’s do a quick rundown of how this whole thing will work.
The event will run from Tuesday, August 18th to Thursday, August 20th with 10-12 pre-recorded presentations running each day. These presentations will include 35-40 minutes of content (with up to a 3-minute pitch), a worksheet that follows along with or complements the presentation, and a live chat.
While the presentations themselves are pre-recorded, all speakers are invited to attend their presentation time live to interact with attendees in the chatbox. There is no video component, so attendance in your favorite comfies is recommended!
Along with the live presentations there will be a Facebook group for attendees to hang out in, hold each other accountable, and ask all of us additional questions. If attendees have good questions while your presentation is going on, you’ll be able to go live in the Facebook group for a bit of an encore to answer those questions, connect with the attendees, and provide even more value. This additional Facebook live is not required, though.
Leading up to the summit, we’ll have two weeks to promote the event (August 4th to 20th). I’ll send you email and social media swipe copy as well as social media graphics to make it all easy! I’ll even include a suggested posting / sending schedule for you to make promotion easy or outsource it.
During the promotion phase, as the summit is running, and for a week after the summit is complete, we’ll also be promoting the All Access Passes to the summit (we have two levels of the pass which we will describe below).
What I Need From You
So this all sounds great, but what kind of work does it require of you? Let’s chat about it!
My goal is to make this all as easy as possible so we can all have a blast while providing great value and growing our businesses.
I get asked to speak in summits a lot – and I know how stressful and hard it can be to cram in promotion so I want to make this easy peasy for you. And fun.
1. BASIC INFORMATION
The first thing I’ll need is some very basic information from you so I can finish up our registration page and Speakers page.
This information includes:
- Name
- Title
- Bio
- Square headshot
Once you give me the thumbs up that you’re in, I’ll send you a link where you can upload all this information super easily.
2. PRESENTATION
Next up is your presentation! This is a 30-40 minute pre-recorded presentation that is meant to be more friendly and casual than perfect and structured. We want our attendees to learn something great, while having fun in the process.
Please structure your content in a way that allows attendees to walk away feeling like they’ve really learned something, rather than a webinar format where they feel like they’re missing something that they need to buy from you asap. I could list the things to refrain from to avoid that format, but I think we’re all pretty familiar 😉
With that being said, you have your choice of the following presentation formats:
- Slides
- No slides (just your gorgeous face)
- A mixture of the two
No matter what format you choose, you are free to use your presentation however you’d like in the future.
Please include:
- A quick introduction
- An overview of your topic
- Where people go wrong with your topic and tend to overcomplicate it
- Teaching section
- Specific action steps
- Up to a 3-minute pitch
- Include questions for attendees to answer in the chat box throughout to boost engagement
Your presentation should include great, actionable content.
Presentations are due by Tuesday, July 28th.
You can find a short PDF with the guidelines here.
3. WORKSHEET
Along with each presentation will be a worksheet. There are a few reasons behind this:
- They encourage people to take action, which increases value
- It’s an easy way for viewer to take notes
- We’ll be able to capture the email addresses of people interested in your topic, which you’ll receive after the event is over.
The content of the worksheet should follow along with your presentation and encourage attendees to take action. You are more than welcome to include links and a call-to-action at the end.
Like I said, this process is meant to be as easy as possible so you have a couple options. You can either:
- Create the worksheet yourself, using your own branding. With this option, you’re free to reuse it in the future however you’d like.
- Write out your worksheet contents and send it to me to be put into the summit’s worksheet template.
- Have my team take care of it all.
If you choose to go with option 1, your worksheet will be due along with your presentation on Tuesday, July 28th.
4. ALL ACCESS PASS CONTRIBUTION
The All Access Pass Supercharged will be a huge addition to the presentations we’re running. To make it even more valuable, I’ll ask each of you to provide one resource to add.
This includes things like:
- eBooks
- Workbooks
- Courses (big or small)
- 1-month memberships
- Freebies
- Templates, Swipe files, digital resources
It’s totally up to you to decide whether you’d like to create something new or provide something you already have. While this isn’t required, it’s highly encouraged that you participate.
Information for these resources is due on Tuesday, July 28th.
5. PROMOTION
The power of an online summit comes from a group of experts coming together for a single cause. The joint promotion that happens because of that is a huge benefit to everyone involved.
Because of that, everyone is encouraged to share on social media and to email their lists during the promotion period, starting on August 4th.
You’ll want to share using your affiliate link (which you can set up here) so you can get in on the 50% commission that will come from any All Access Pass sales.
Swipe copy and graphics can be found here.
6. LIVE PARTICIPATION
And last comes participation during the week of the event. Since we’ll already have done the work of creating the presentations and extra resources, we’ll be able to sit back and relax for the most part!
All I ask is that you consider participating in the chat during your presentation slot and interact in the Facebook group throughout the week to help attendees stay excited and engaged.
While you are not required to attend the events of other speakers, it’s highly encouraged! We’ll be able to get some great discussions going about the topics being presented. We have brand and independent experts coming together to educate, share valuable strategies, systems and stories.
