Speaker Information + Resources

Let’s do a quick rundown of how the whole thing will work.

The free event will run from February 2-5th, 2026, with a kickoff party on Feb. 2nd and then about 8 pre-recorded presentations running each day with a closing party on the 5th to end with a bang. These presentations will include 45 minutes of content with up to a 1-minute pitch to a free product at the end of your presentation if you have one.

You don't have to be present on the days of the live summit since your program will be pre-recorded.

Along with the recorded presentations, there will be a Peak Summit Facebook group for attendees to hang out in, hold each other accountable, and ask all of us additional questions. If attendees have good questions while your presentation is going on, you’ll be able to go live in the Facebook group for a bit of an encore to answer those questions, connect with the attendees, and provide even more value.

If you are around the week before the summit, we could do a Facebook Live to help promote your program. A Facebook live is not required, but if you jump in there, your followers would love to hear from you.

Leading up to the summit, we’ll have two weeks of promotion. You’ll be provided with email swipe copy, social media swipe copy, and social media graphics to make it all easy! I'll even have a suggested posting/sending schedule for you to make promo easy to outsource to a VA.

While the Peak Senior Summit is a free event, we will be selling the recordings as an upsell, which is called the Peak Power Pack. As the summit is running during the promotion phase, we’ll be promoting the Peak Power Pack. This includes an All-Access Pass for the replays and bonus items from speakers/vendors. This will provide immense value to our attendees while making the work of promoting and creating a presentation worthwhile by allowing you to bring in affiliate commissions. Yay!

So this all sounds great, but what kind of work does it require of you? Let’s chat about it! My goal is to make this all as easy as humanly possible so we can all have a blast while providing great value and growing our businesses.

1. Basic Information

The first thing I’ll need is some very basic information from you so I can finish up our Registration page and Speakers page.

This information includes things like:

• Name
• Title
• Bio
• Square headshot

Once you give me the thumbs up that you’re in, I’ll send you a link where you can upload all this information easily.

2. Presentation

Next up is your presentation. This is a 45-minute pre-recorded session that should feel friendly and relaxed, not stiff and scripted. We want attendees to learn a lot and have a good time with you.

Please structure your content so people walk away feeling like they actually learned something they can use, instead of a webinar tease where they feel like they have to buy something to get the “real” info.

You can choose any of these formats:

• Slides

• No slides, just you on camera

• A mix of slides and on-camera

• A demo of your topic (lighting, Photoshop, posing, etc.)

You are welcome to reuse your presentation in your own offers or platforms later.

Suggested content flow

Use this as a loose guide:

1. Quick intro (don't spend too much time on this)

2. Short overview of your topic

3. Common mistakes or ways people overcomplicate it

4. Teaching section

5. Clear action steps they can take right away

6. Up to a 1-minute pitch for a freebie (if you have one)

If you would like to see an example session or want help shaping your idea, just ask.
If you have never done a presentation like this before, we can also record an interview-style session with you and me before the summit.

Recording specs

Video

• Orientation: horizontal, 16:9

• Resolution: 1080p if possible

• File format: please export as .mp4 or .mov

• File name: PeakSummit_YourName_SessionTitle.mp4

Audio

• Clear audio is more important than fancy visuals

• Use any decent mic you have

  • AirPods or similar are fine

  • USB mics like Blue Snowball or Blue Yeti work great if you own one

• Record in a quiet room and keep the mic close to your mouth

Recording tips

• Content is king. Do not stress about fancy editing. Strong teaching beats slick transitions.

• For shooting / lighting demos, a smartphone on a tripod works great. Just record in landscape.

• For slide/keynote talks, screen recording software keeps it simple:

  • Mac: Screenflow

  • PC: Camtasia

  • Web-based: Loom

  • Web-based Present and Record: Canva

Many of these have free trials. You can also bring in extra clips if you want to edit them together.

Quick 60-second test (highly recommended)

Before you record the full talk, record a 60-second test clip and check:

• Can you hear yourself clearly?

• Is your face bright enough and not in shadow?

• Is the camera steady and horizontal?

• Are you framed from about chest-up?

If that short test looks and sounds good, you are set to record the full session.

Presentations are due by December 1st, 2025 so we can build out the pages and start promoting the Summit.

3. Presentation Slides (Optional)

Along with each presentation, you have the option of adding your Presentation Slides. There are a few reasons behind this:

• They encourage people to take action, which increases the value
• It’s an easy way for viewers to take notes

4. Peak Power Pack Contribution (Optional)

The Peak Power Pack will be a huge addition to the presentations we’re running. To make it even more valuable, I’ll ask each of you to provide one resource to add. This includes things like:

• Templates
• Actions
• Workbooks
• Courses (small)
• Overlays
• Guides (makeup/session prep/business)
• Freebies

Do not feel like you need to add a product of enormous value, something under $50 is great. The goal with this is to help with the upsell to give you an opportunity for more commission, not to take away or devalue your products. You are not required to add to the Peak Power Pack upsell. The item must be something of full value, not a discount on a larger product. Discounts for products can be given out during your program.

Since my bonus will be a free 1-month subscription to my SU Insiders membership, I ask that no other speakers offer a membership as their bonus time.

It’s totally up to you to decide whether you’d like to create something new or provide something you already have. While this isn’t required, it’s highly encouraged that you participate.

Anyone who does contribute a premium resource (aka not something you're giving away for free somewhere else) will get a 40% affiliate commission on sales, rather than 20%.

Information for these resources is due on 12/1/25. You'll receive a link to upload your contribution closer to that time to make passing the information nice and simple.

5. Promotion

The power of an online summit comes from a group of experts coming together for a single cause. The joint promotion that happens because of that is a huge benefit to everyone involved.

Because of that, everyone is encouraged to share on social media and to email their lists during the promotion period, starting on 1/12/2026 to the end of the summit. The more you promote, the more money you will earn with your affiliate link.

I will promote it to my list a few days before the official launch to test all of the funnels and sales pages. This benefits you so that everything is working correctly when we officially go live.

You’ll want to share using your affiliate link to get in on the 20% commission that will come from any Peak Power Pack sales (40% if you've contributed a premium bonus). I will send full details as we get ready to promote the summit on how to sign up for your affiliate link and ways to help you promote the summit to help you with sales.

You’ll find swipe copy and graphics in the Resource Vault below.

6. Live Participation (Optional)

And last comes participation during the week of the event. Since we’ll already have done the work of creating the presentations and extra resources, we’ll be able to sit back and relax for the most part!

All I ask is that you participate and interact in the Facebook group throughout the week to help attendees stay excited and engaged.

While you are not required to attend the events of other speakers, it’s highly encouraged!

We’ll be able to get some great discussions going about the topics being presented.

While summits are great for overall visibility and making new connections, a little extra income never hurts either, right?

That’s exactly why I’ve set up several ways to earn income as a speaker.

Here's a breakdown of the options for earning money with the summit:

Option 1:
If you submit your presentation on or before 12/1/25 and promote the summit through at least three promotional emails to your email list when the promotion starts on 1/12/2026, you can earn $300. If you don't have an email list, you can still earn money by promoting the summit through three social media posts. The more you post, the more commission you can make. If you choose to add a product to the Peak Power Pack, you must also submit your product by 12/1/25.

Option 2:
An affiliate program for the Peak Power Pack, where you’ll receive a commission from all sales from the traffic you refer to the event. Payouts will be made by 3/5/26. Last year's top speaker payout was over $2,300...can you top that?!?!

The commission structure for each attendee that signs up with your affiliate link is as follows:

• 20% for all speakers
• 40% for all speakers who include a premium bonus to the Peak Power Pack

The pricing structure for attendees when they sign up for the summit will be:

• $97 Fast Action price, 15 minutes after initial registration
• $147 if they didn't take the fast action price
• $197 During the Live Summit
• $397 After the Summit

 These will be the prices you would earn commission on if an attendee uses your affiliate link to sign up.

To make it as easy as possible for you to generate extra income, the Resource Vault includes things like email swipe copy, social media copy, and social share graphics. However, you’re more than welcome to write your own copy and even run your own Facebook ads. 

Just remember to use your affiliate link, which I will let you know how to sign up for as we get closer to promoting.

As with all affiliate promotions, be sure to disclose that you’re an affiliate when sharing with your audience and follow the rules of promotion on the platform you are using.

Resources are being created, I will let you know when they are ready. They will include:

• Summit branding information (in case you'd like to show off that you've been featured on your website)
• To do list with due dates so you can keep track of everything nice and easily
• Email swipe copy and suggested send dates
• Social media swipe copy and suggestion posting dates
• Social media graphics
