The summit is limited to 40 presentations. Each presentation is between 30 to 60 minutes long. The event airs for free for a week from Nov. 9th to Nov. 16th, 2020.
As a presenter you get three main benefits:
- 1Huge exposure and publicity for your brand!
- 2On your presentation page you get to have a big 250x300 button / banner that leads to your website where you can offer a free thing for people to download (and you can collect emails), or sell your books or other products.
- 3The Summit is free, but the presentations are bundled up and offered to viewers as a package to purchase. As you promote the Summit to your community you'll receive a 50% commission on any purchases made by your referrals.
