Hi Leesa – Would you say your tips also hold true for teleseminars? Just me and my content, a free call, an audience, an invitation to an upcoming program… Or is this advice specific for a telesummit?

  I totally love Milana’s tip. It’s just one of the things you can use to stand out.

Thanks, Leesa! Great advice and timely too since I’m in the planning phases of what I WAS calling a telesummit. LOL Now I’ll find a new name for it…
