As an entrepreneur or business owner, you’ve probably heard that it’s super important to narrow down your niche. Having a specific niche can help build your audience and your offering, but you may not know that it can also open the doors to hosting your own online summit!

Memorable Quotes:
- “That’s an important part of social media we sometimes forget: If it doesn’t feel fun to logon to the platform anymore, you don’t have to be locked in…if you don’t like it, you’re not going to do it.”
- “Really focus on the behind the scenes, tease out that excitement leading up to the summit, build up to the ask, and don’t just straight promote all the time.”
- “For promotion, the more you can make use of your speakers, the better results you’re going to get.”
- “People really like summits when you have a specific goal for a specific niche.”
