Tl:Dr - it all worked out! Moral of the story: have an SOP for applying for events and a way to track details. Goat, I’m Melody Gaynor and I’m new to this space. I LOVE collabs and participating in events! Bundles, summits, guesting on podcasts. You name it, I LOVE IT! Ok if you happen to be in the same accountability/coaching group as me then you heard my plight on this weeks call. I’m accepted to a bundle. It’s SO PERFECT for me I could SCREAM! 🥳🥳🥳 Annnnndddd due to tech snafus and not knowing better, the freebie link I sent for this bundle could very well be broken. (Where is a GIF of someone bitting their nails over and over like a cartoon character eating corn on the cob?!?!?!) I have an email from the host that says “Congrats you’re in!” And another that says “here’s how you should promote the event”. I’ve responded to both, a solid week apart and… CRICKETS. Did I make the subject line stand out? Yep. I added the word URGENT before the Re: in the subject line. On my coaches weekly call I was reminded of the Hunter extension that we used during podcast pitching Get it Done Week to find any additional email addresses on her site. YES! What a great idea! One of the coaches also helped me find the hosts Personal Facebook page. I’ll try emailing both addresses one more time… Wait 24 hours and if I don’t hear anything (since the bundle starts FRIDAY) I’ll message her on Facebook. Ok good, I’ve got a plan and a new all encompassing SOP for my next bundle applications. Today I got an email back from the bundle host. She’s a one woman show and emails were going into spam and all the things and she’s sorry and here’s early access so you can check all your things. Ok, cool. Lesson learned. New SOP created and 1 column added to my bundle tracker which will be a link to the Google Doc where EVERYTHING from my application to that bundle will be kept as well as anything that’s not already part of the tracker. Please, please, PLEASE learn from my “Learning Experience” and have an actual process when applying for events/bundles/summits/podcasts!
