Hi, I’m Joseph S. Kahn from Portland, Oregon. I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, so I am far far away from my roots right now, but where the trees are green and the air is moist! LOL! Right now I plan on building a "free with ascension to paid community" for the SEO and Digital Marketing enthusiast looking for our killer formula and mastermind called "Harmonic SEO and Harmonic SEO Elite." I want to get these 3 things from the community: * Learn from the best in this biz! * Make like-minded friends that grow as I do * Give and synthesize as much as I learn (I love to help others!) For fun I like to do these 3 things: * Drums, drums and more drums * Hiking in the woods of course! (this is Oregon!) * SEO all day long (I am a nerd and actually love it) I am super thrilled to learn about everyone's work and seeing how I can dive in and help where I can. I am a former CIO and CTO for John C. Maxwell as well as an award winner for Microsoft back in my early career as a web developer. I am super excited about the Skool opportunity and building a business that is fun, impactful and profitable without trading hours for dollars! WHO'S WITH ME!?!?! LET'S Go! I am on your team.

Happy Thursday! I've got a good one for you today... If you are hosting events for your education business, either on the front-end or back-end, incorporating sponsors can be a great way to simply make the event better for you and your attendees. Here's how: 1. Lower Your Costs Sponsors can help cover big-ticket expenses like venues, catering, or printing materials. Instead of stretching your budget thin, you can focus on delivering a great experience. 2. Enhance the Attendee Experience Many sponsors bring added value to events. This could be through giveaways, exclusive swag, or extra perks like photo booths or charging stations. These little extras make your event more memorable without costing you a dime. 3. Boost Your Marketing Efforts When you partner with a sponsor, you’re not just getting their financial support—you’re also getting access to their audience. Sponsors often promote events they’re involved with, meaning more people will hear about what you’re doing. 4. Build Credibility The right sponsor can elevate your event’s reputation. If attendees see you’ve partnered with a well-known or respected brand, they’ll trust your event more. It’s a win for everyone. 5. Open Doors for Future Growth Sponsorships aren’t just about one event. They’re about relationships. A good partnership can lead to future opportunities, whether that’s repeat sponsorship or introductions to other potential supporters. How to Start Here’s how you can begin attracting sponsors: -Know Your Audience: Understand your event attendees and what kind of brands they’d be interested in. -Create a Sponsorship Package: Highlight what you can offer—like logo placement, shoutouts, or booth space. -Research Potential Sponsors: Look for companies whose values align with your event’s purpose. -Make It Personal: When reaching out, tailor your pitch to each sponsor’s needs and goals. -Follow Up: Don’t stop at one email. Check in politely if you don’t hear back. -Sponsorships aren’t just about money. They help create better events, expand your reach, and strengthen your reputation.
