Virtual Summit School
Explode Your Email List
Establish Your Authority
Launch Your Own Virtual Summit in 90 Days
What if there was an authentic marketing technique you could leverage to explode your email list growth, bring in serious income and establish your authority in your niche in just 90 days?
Spoiler Alert: There is.
Does any of this describe you?
+ Frustrated with slow growth techniques. You're doing freebies, getting on podcasts, but all that is just taking forever to bring in subscribers and sales. You don't have years to wait; you want to get to a level of sustainability in your business now.
+ Demotivated because your content, products and services are just as good as the more notable people in your niche - but they're getting all the sales. You know your stuff, but no one else recognizes you as the authority you are in your field - and it's costing you money.
+ Lonely because you don't have a tribe of business colleagues to connect and partner with. Whether you're a solopreneur or running a small company, you feel like no one's really in your corner but you. There's no one to talk to, partner with. It's tough.
+ Tired because you're hustling 24/7 to make the income you need to keep your business alive, and when all that is on your shoulders, you feel like you can't ever take a break.
Are you nodding your head in agreement?
Then you've come to the right place!
Because I've got something to share with you...
Virtual Summits
A virtual summit is an online conference featuring dozens of experts in a niche brought together by the event host to share free interviews with an audience.
If you want to grow your business to a sustainable level quickly - bringing in those email subscribers, sales and opportunities - while establishing your authority in your niche, you need to PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE.
A virtual summit is an incredible way to accomplish that - all from the comfort of your own home or office.
Imagine what your business and life would look like if you had...
+ Thousands of new email list subscribers - Your community of raving fans blossoms practically overnight, and now you have a pool of potential customers who need your offerings.
+ A revenue surge on top of your current sales - You could use the extra cash to invest in your business in ways you couldn't before when every dollar you were bringing in had to pay for essentials.
+ A group of enthusiastic colleagues eager to promote you and your offerings - Affiliates helping to expand your reach, send you referrals, and just support you? Yes, please.
+ Numerous new opportunities all built authentically from relationships - Interviews, connections, clients - all generated from the value you first provided, not from sleazy sales techniques or quid pro quo's.
+ Extra time and more energy- Time saved from accelerated business growth can now be poured into wellness activities to keep you sane, or strategic business activities, instead of headache-inducing survival tactics.
These goals are achievable.
I know because I've received them through hosting my own summits, and so have my students.
Let me show you how...
Introducing
Virtual Summit School
Learn my proven system to launch a successful virtual summit of your own in just 90 days.
This is the same system I used to skyrocket my email list to 5-figures, turn my business into a 6-figure online enterprise and establish myself as the "go-to" infopreneur coach on the web.
Why do I call it a "system"? Because it's a 90-day fool-proof plan to creating, launching and hosting an online event whose success is founded upon timeless business principles - not flash-in-the-pan gimmicks, superficial tips or inactionable advice.
Meet Kyrsten
Kyrsten is a Virtual Summit School enrollee who utilized a virtual summit to launch a new part of her web design and branding business serving creative entrepreneurs. She achieved her highest goals for her first summit, generating over $20,000 in revenue, and grew her email list by 4x!
Let me share with you how things were going in my business BEFORE I launched my first virtual summit.
I had plateaued. Email subscribers, course enrollees - they were all coming much slower than they used to. I was doing all the 'traditional' growth techniques everyone does: blogging, freebies, podcast guesting - but it wasn't enough.
I knew I wanted to leverage a marketing technique that was going to help me 1) grow quickly, 2) be authentic (not sleazy!), and 3) achieve multiple growth objectives at once (like email list and revenue and exposure).
I was looking around at my successful peers, and I noticed something...
Everyone else is partnering with other people in their niche who are helping them get ahead. Why wasn't I doing that?
So after surveying all the possible opportunities for collaboration, I landed upon a virtual summit and decided to take the leap and launch my own.
Home Page of my first Infopreneur Summit in 2016
...and I've never looked back!
My first summits injected my business with the revenue and visibility it needed to get off the ground!
My Business Revenue from May 2016 through May 2017
And since that first event, my annual summits have been responsible for helping me collectively achieve:
- 7,500+ New Email List Subscribers
- $41,490+ in Revenue
- $19,170+ in Profit
- 1,220+ Facebook Group Members
-
100+ Relationships with Influencers
- Gigantic Visibility + Opportunities
So why is it that virtual summits are so effective?
And how can you be sure you'll achieve positive results, too?
Virtual summits leverage a few key online business principles that work, no matter your niche.
+ Leveraging the email lists of your guest speakers - You're not "fishing" out in a wide ocean for potential clients; you're attracting targeted groups with a desirable value-packed event.
+ Limited-time nature of the event - Unlike an evergreen course which is available for enrollment anytime, a summit leverages urgency to encourage registrations and sales.
+ Everybody wins - As the host, you benefit from your summit the most, but speakers gain valuable exposure, affiliate commissions and more, while summit registrants get valuable free training.
+ Visibility and conversations - By connecting with others and actually talking to them, you increase chances for business opportunities to develop, and making others more aware of you through a video-based event online leads to more purchases, too.
Meet Dan
Dan said Virtual Summit School "saved [his] life" after his employer asked him to host a summit in 90 days to grow their neurosymmatic and massage therapy business. This was Dan's first summit, and he was able to grow the company's email list by 1,500 subscribers and generate over $4,000 in revenue!
"I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I am loving the course and how you literally show us how to do every single thing (as opposed to just theory). I am working on my summit now and could not be more excited!
Thank you for creating this course."
- Nevica Vazquez, Nevica Vazquez
"I just wanted to say that I cannot thank you enough for putting together such a comprehensive, simple to follow program. I would have been LOST without it - doing about 10 times more work and having twice the frustration. You’ve taken any guesswork out of it.
We now have another great service and revenue stream we can add to our media company because of you!"
- Matthew Peters, Asynd Inc.
"If you are evaluating whether to launch your own virtual summit, I really encourage you and recommend you to do it with Bailey, to enroll in her Virtual Summit School.

It's really a very good program. Thank you, Bailey, for such great information and support. "

Meet Jenny
Jenny hosted a virtual summit for her online community for Christian women after seeing other business owners' success with summits. Jenny gained 8,000 subscribers and sold over 1,200 All-Access Passes for her virtual summit!
"I am loving the content! The first 6 swipe copy emails - They’re fantastic! You’ve just saved me at least 3 hours of work - and I’m a copywriter so I write pretty quickly. I feel like I have my money’s worth just with these email templates alone. And I still have 14 more emails, plus the video scripts to work with? Woo hoo!"
- Donna Barker, Write, Woman, Write

"Bailey, your training was one of the most straightforward, easy to understand, step-by-step that I have ever taken. I bought VSS and was able to follow along and set up the majority of the summit within a 3-day weekend. I had never even logged into ClickFunnels, yet you showed me how to do it simply and beautifully. You made integration a snap - I just followed the simple steps you recommended. I'm so grateful I found your course!"
