Welcome to another episode of The Six Figure Side Gig Podcast!

Joining us today is Ashlee Evans. Some of you may know Ashlee is the C.O.O. for the companies and endeavors that comprise Costes businesses. Ashlee is also the person responsible for organizing all of our live events since we started hosting our own in 2013. From small meetings of less than 50 people to our largest annual live event coming up in April of more than 200 people, Ashlee organizes them all. Learn how to negotiate with the hotel using other venue proposals and what the unexpected charges and considerations that come with every live event are. Ashlee shares the insider’s perspective for professional event planning. She also gives some tips on how and what to negotiate with, including industry tools that make organizing quotes easier. Creating and hosting live events of your own are a great way to grow your list, brand yourself and sell your product. Mastering hosting events can make a side gig a success.

All of that and more on today’s episode of The Six Figure Side Gig.
