Hey ,

Happy 2nd. Day of September!🙌

I wanted to share some exciting highlights and valuable insights from our recent Virtual Summiteers Peer Group meeting. We discussed everything from successful community launches to innovative LinkedIn features and strategies for improving event planning. These takeaways can help you boost your own business growth and event strategies.

Here’s a quick rundown of what we covered:

• Patrick’s Community Launch: A Smooth Transition Patrick Jackman successfully launched his new community, Connect, which saw significant engagement. His strategic approach shows the importance of well-planned rollouts to generate excitement and momentum.

• Leveraging LinkedIn’s RSS Feed Integration

I found out about LinkedIn’s RSS feature, which allows you to sync posts from YouTube or Medium to your LinkedIn company page—no scheduling tools needed! If you're not using this yet, I highly recommend it, as it's an easy way to keep your content up to date!

• Jason’s: Strategic Assessment Jason Hodges gave us an inside look at how he structures assessments to fine-tune a client’s media strategy and messaging. His thoughtful approach ensures consistent, impactful communication for businesses.

• Patrick’s Community Graduation & Rewards Patrick also shared the success of his community's latest graduation event. It was a highly engaging program, complete with a competitive team structure and rewards that kept participants motivated throughout the 10-week program.

• Zakia’s Event Planning Lessons & Challenges Zakia offered insights into the challenges of planning her own event compared to those she plans for others. With support from the group, we brainstormed solutions to ensure her Handcrafted Live Virtual Soap Summit (happening Sept 6th-8th) goes off without a hitch!
