Speaker 1: 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, if 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, remember to spell Eventbrite correctly. E-V-E-N-T-B-R-I-T-E. 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 use 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 six figures. figure mastermind at 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. It thinks 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 line, it's going to be a password that you can remember or have stored on your computer and a lot of browsers will custom store it for you whether you're using Safari or whether you're using Chrome, you know, that little 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 set up, 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 2.0. You know, contact you, it's going to be the email that people 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 subscribe to Eventbrite 2.0. for your event. So throw your website in there. I'll throw, you know, just a maryandanovelist.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 subscribers, it's going to autofill all this information for you. So put it in there. Put in there so your clients can 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 card, that you know, if you do have paid events that you need to keep those ability, you need to be able to pay for your events. So shipping address, 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 to 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, monthly tips and tools, sales event recap. I would definitely keep that one checked but you know, it's going to be a lot of work. 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're definitely, 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 walkthrough. Eventbrite will 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 Eventbrite 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 for 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 they're the same email address. Okay, then you've got all this information here. Payout summary, charges and credits, invoices, taxpayer information, unused venues and organizers, extension, multi-user access. Most of that, you won't need to worry about. As long as you have the basic setup, you've got your PayPal account set up, you've got your account image set up, you've got your payment information all in there, your credit cards, your email preferences, all of that is underway, 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.
