Hey, welcome back to the Six Figure Mastermind. Today we're going to dive deep
into Eventbrite and I'm going to show you right on my computer screen how it's
done so pull up another browser window so you can follow right along with me.
Hey, today let's talk about how to set up Eventbrite. If you're putting on any
kinds of events, Eventbrite is a great platform to use and there's free ways to
do it, there's also paid ways to do it but Eventbrite is pretty much
universally used. Now I've set up events on Eventbrite quite frequently and what
I love about Eventbrite is that you know, people love to come to Eventbrite to
check out local events that are going on their area. When I've used Eventbrite for
my own events, I always share the link with you know my email marketing and my
people that I want to have come to the event but Eventbrite will also publicize
your event to the general public. You know, Eventbrite makes money from its
producers and its consumers so there's a motivation for them to actually get your
event in front of as many people as it is relevant so let's dive in, let's talk
about how to actually create an eventbrite account. Okay so right here, if you
look at the screen, I am on the Eventbrite homepage. Now member to spell
Eventbrite correctly, Eventbrite. The biggest mistake people have is they're
going to spell it wrong so spell Eventbrite correctly. Your clients don't need to
know that but you do so go to eventbrite.com and in fact, open up another window
on your computer right now and just have this video side-by-side with your
browser so that you can walk through this just step-by-step right with us.
Okay, let's go to eventbrite.com and let's go to sign in. Now if you don't
have an account, it'll open up a prompt for you to create an account, okay. So
let's enter your email to sign up or log in so let's enter our email, we're going to
put sixfiguremastermind@gmail.com and click get started. Okay, so we're
creating a brand new account, it's going to want a little bit of information from us,
okay. Maybe I'll edit my email address so I can put that com in there so it's all
all kosher, alright. First name, that's going to be me okay and
then obviously you'd put your first name in there and your last name, okay. And
then you're going to put a password in there, alright.
I'm just going to throw in my average password right here. Okay, I think
my password is weak. Thanks for telling me, that's awesome.
A strong password is going to have uppercase, lowercase, numbers, characters,
all that fun stuff but at bottom lines it's got to be a password that you can
remember or have stored on your computer and a lot of browsers will custom store
for you whether you using Safari or whether you're using Chrome you know, they'll
custom store your passwords for you. That way, you won't have to remember
all of them because chances are you have a lot of different passwords. Okay, it's
pretty simple to set up an Eventbrite account but you're going to want to tune
in and watch our next video on actually how to create something. Now let's go
into the account settings because this is really really important. If you're
doing events where people are going to be paying you money, you want to have a
way to receive that money. If you don't have a way to receive money for tickets
then you're kind of in trouble so another thing to remember is that you're
going to want to have your profile image set up, you want background setup, you
know, everything in there it needs to be filled in so go when we go to your
account settings, check out on your screen right here, go ahead and open that
up. Again, it's just at your account you know, go to your name, click the drop down
menu, it's right there. Click account settings, okay. Alright so we've got our
account settings, account email address, this is the email that is going to be
used by Eventbrite to you know, contact you, it's going to be the email that
people will reply to or if they have questions about the event, that's the
master email that it will go to. Okay, so you want to put in a cool profile image.
If you have one that matches your Facebook account,
I would totally use that so just throw in a profile image from your computer,
contact information you know, not all of it is required but it is nice because
Eventbrite is going to send out reminder emails to all of the people that
subscribed for your event so throw your website in there. I'll throw you know at
just mariannedenovellis.com. Throw that in there. If you've got a blog,
throw that in there because guess what, when Eventbrite sends a reminder email
out to all of your subscribe, it's going to autofill all this information
for you so put it in there, put in there so your clients and see it so they can
contact you, you can put your home address or your
mailing address. Obviously, you're going to want to put your billing address in
there for your credit cards that you know if you do have paid events that you
need to keep those abilities, you need to be able to pay for your mends so
shipping interests, billing address, all of that needs to be filled out, most
likely it's the same thing for you. Okay, so let's go, your passwords already done,
it's brand-new so don't worry about going there. Credit and debit cards, you
don't have any current credit or debit cards saved, you can go ahead and add
those when it's time to process your events. Email preferences and this is
brilliant all set up beforehand, before you start running events and creating
events I mean, don't get too hasty, you know you have an event that you need
to put together but if you throw an event out on Eventbrite and your
back-end isn't set up, you're going to be in a world of hurt so you know check your
email preferences, update about new Eventbrite features and announcements.
These are again, they've got it categorized so these are emailing you
update about new Eventbrite features and announcements and monthly tips and tools,
sales event recap. I would definitely keep that one checked but you know,
you can choose whether or not to check these ones. I would keep the event sales
recap though, that's going to be valuable information for you. Okay, notifications.
Now these are notifications that are sent out to your event guests, alright.
The first section is all emails that are going to be sent to you, the second
section right down here with notifications,
that's all information that's going to go out to your guests so if you want
important reminders for the next event to be emailed to your guests, keep that
box checked. Order confirmations from my attendees, keep that box checked, okay.
You're also going to get a copy of these in your email box, alright? Social
settings, let's check this out. Connect to Facebook. If you have a Facebook page
that is correlating to your events, you definitely want to connect
that so you just simply do that by clicking connect, it'll walk you through
how to put your Facebook together so they talk to each other so you know
everything's auto linked in there, you're in good shape there.
Affiliate program. Now this is cool. Eventbrite has an affiliate program, you
can join an affiliate program by clicking on your invitation from the
event organizer, promote the event using affiliate link, maybe you have an
affiliate link set up with someone else, this gets really specific you know, you
can do this walk through Eventbrite. I'll walk you through how to do that and then
there's the closed account option. Obviously you won't need to worry about
that. Alright, we've got payout methods, this is very very important to fill out,
payout methods because if again you're charging ticket prices for your event,
they want to be able to pay you so PayPal is the bottom line for Eventbrite
you know, that's what I use for Eventbrite, it's the best way for Evenbrite
to communicate with you so have a paypal account that is the same as your
Eventbrite email and you will talk about another video about how to set up a
PayPal account so that's all happy and in a good place but you know if you
don't have these two talking to each other then you can't get paid, you can't
get paid for the ticket sales that you do and you can't pay Eventbrite forward
the price and the fees that you owe them so have a PayPal account set up and
connected to your Eventbrite and then make sure that that there see name email
address. Okay then you've got all this information here, payout summary, charges
and credits, invoices, taxpayer information and use venues and
organizers extension, multi-user access, most of that you won't need to worry
about as long as you have the basic set up, you've got your PayPal account set up,
you've got your account image setup, you've got your payment information all
in there, your debit and credit cards, your email preferences, all of that is
under way, you are ready to create an event through Eventbrite. So check out
our other video, go check it out and see how to do that and walk through that
process, we're going to walk you through A to Z on how that process actually gets
done. Okay, go ahead and click the link right up here, we're going to show you how
