What if one signature event could grow your email list, create valuable business relationships, and build a clear pathway to your paid offers? In this episode of Life Changing Money, Barbara sits down with copywriter, entrepreneur, and Copy Confidence Society founder Marisa Corcoran to discuss how online summits can transform a business. Marisa explains how she created The Copy Chat, a free, multi-day virtual summit focused on copywriting. When she launched the event in 2018, she had only 75 people on her email list (including her mom and best friend). Within a year, her list had grown to 5,000 subscribers, helping her generate a $112,000 launch followed by a $300,000 launch. Marisa shares why virtual summits are about much more than borrowing another speaker’s audience. When created strategically, they can lead to collaborations, referrals, stronger industry relationships, increased visibility, and an audience filled with people who are prepared to buy. Tune in to hear: What an online summit is and how it can grow your email list How summits create visibility, collaborations, and long-term relationships Why your free event should lead naturally into your paid offer How Marisa grew her email list from 75 to 5,000 subscribers How The Copy Chat contributed to six-figure launches Why repeating and refining a proven strategy creates better results How small, continuous improvements can strengthen your marketing Why business owners should stop chasing every shiny new idea How Marisa transitioned from acting to copywriting and entrepreneurship What a failed Winnie the Pooh audition taught her about controlling her future How acting and storytelling can make marketing copy more persuasive Why personality is essential in an AI-driven marketplace How to use AI without outsourcing your creativity or brand voice The three things strong copy can help people do: remember you, rave about you, and refer you Why the right business room can elevate your pricing, ideas, and confidence Connect with Marisa: https://marisacorcoran.com/ https://www.instagram.com/therealmarisacorcoran/ How To Get Involved: Life-Changing Money is a podcast all about money.
