You’re invited to this free, 3-day online event!

Creative business owners will learn marketing ideas designed to help them find more customers, and increase their income – without working harder!

By now you know that running your business online is more than just posting on social media and watching the orders flood in, right?

And you probably find yourself…

Frustrated that you can’t find new customers unless you are spending money paying for ads or working 24/7?

3D Customer Icon.

Feeling lost with how to make a marketing plan to find new customers and spend less time at work?

Feeling stuck at your income level but know there’s ways to earn more money doing what you are already are doing?

This summit guides you to overcome ALL of these, plus each session has a worksheet to help you make real progress.

Let’s dream together for a minute…

How great would it feel if these business tasks felt easy:

  • Selling on Instagram without feeling salesy.
  • Using email marketing to sell more and work less!
  • Having stable, reoccurring income each month.
  • Doubling your traffic to your Etsy shop or website.
  • Finding additional ways to add income to your business, without feeling spammy.
  • Using social media to actually find customers!

And imagine all of these running smoothly, and not taking up more hours in your day.

You could work less, make more money and leave that self-doubt and overwhelm off your to-do list! Yes, PLEASE!

Meet the Event Hostess:

Hey there, I'm Chelly Ontis,

I’m the face behind We Can Make That and the Content Planner for Creativepreneurs™ – I’m excited to bring you an event designed to help scale your creative business!

I know what it’s like to share your creative talent with the world as a business – it’s NOT easy; it’s even scary and overwhelming at times. I started out the same way as you, so I understand and have some solutions to share!

I’ve taken my hard lessons and experience from the last 27 years of being a creative business owner and created an event to help you find success faster than I did as an online creator. 

This event dives into mastering the non-creative side of a business that can make or break your dream. Register today and let’s build your dream together!

At the 4th annual Creativepreneur Summit we’ll dive into the 3 pillars of a success (Strong Business Foundation, Marketing, and Revenue/Income Streams), and help you achieve your goal for each.

Whether you are new or experienced – we have training sessions for you!

Let's break through the tasks or questions that are holding you and your business back from moving forward!

I know how hard it can be, and I want you to know "you are doing great!"

Owning a business is not easy, but YOU keep going because you know there’s MORE…

  • More sales to be made…
  • New customers to find…
  • Easier ways to sell, and…
  • New ways to make more money!

I’ve been where you are, that’s why I created this event in 2019 (originally the Craft Business Summit) to help you get ahead faster.

If you want to streamline your busy day and make more money, this event is for you.

You can do all of this without working more hours. Register now and let’s make some progress together!

Got Questions? We've got Answers:

If you’re unsure about the business side of your business, or if you want to make more but work less, this event is for you!

We’ll be specifically talking to creatives (Etsy shop owners, makers, creators, craft business owners, and more) to help you focus on building a strong foundation but anyone looking to build their customer base and sell online is welcome to join us. 

Your free ticket includes 24 hour access to each of the sessions as they are released May 19-21, 2024 only.

However, if you need more time, you can always upgrade your ticket to the VIP Ticket after registering, which will give you extended access to the presentations along with premium bonuses from our speakers and more!  

This limited-time upgraded option will be presented after your register for your free ticket and gives you:

  • Instant access to the event sessions and bonuses.
  • More time to watch the workshops with lifetime access.
  • And an exclusive bonus bundle for businesses like yours!

Stream the free sessions from the website on your favorite device. Each day at 10am Central Time we’ll email you a link to a daily agenda page. You’ll have 24 hours to view that days sessions before they expire and a new set are released. 

Watch with the free attendees this way and follow along or work at your own pace in your VIP learning portable (login will be emailed when you upgrade to the VIP Pass).

The main portion of the summit runs from May 19-21, 2024. You’ll also be able to join our private Facebook community as soon as you register, so you can join in on the fun right away! We have giveaways and other events planned as we prepare for the free event, so don’t wait, register today to see the full agenda!

The Creativepreneur Summit is all about building a strong business with the non-creative tasks (like marketing, skills, and revenue/income streams). There are lots of videos and courses out there about running a business online, but this summit will specifically cover the creative/craft business industry.

Maybe you can take in one day, or one session a day – any of these sessions will help you make some change in your business – and that’s a good thing! No pressure to watch it all in the 3-day period if life is busy for you.

However, if you’re not able to attend at all during the 3 day event or you just want more time to go over all the incredible information that will be shared, go ahead and grab your free ticket, and you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade to the VIP Ticket for instant and extended access with some amazing bonuses. 

To avoid tech glitches, give you the best possible experience, and keep things easy for the speakers (and ME haha), the presentations are pre-recorded; and will be released each day as noted above. However, the speakers will be hanging out in our private Facebook group where you can connect with them and ask your questions!

There will also be opportunities to join us for bonus live events throughout the event. That agenda will be sent to registered attendees.

No. When you register, you’ll be added to the my We Can Make That® email list only so we can send you updates for the event and links to each day’s sessions. After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from me, but you can unsubscribe at any time. 

 

Speaker Emails: Most of the speakers have free resources available that you can access by providing an email address, but the speakers will not get your email address unless you choose to give it to them voluntarily. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don’t have to worry about getting added to 30+ email lists.

 

If you still have questions, we encourage you to go ahead and sign up. Your questions will likely be answered during the event from May 19th-21st or in the Facebook community, which you’ll be able to join right away after grabbing your free ticket. However, if you need to ask us a question before registering, feel free to send us an email at hello@wecanmakethat.me. During this busy time we ask you give me 48 hours to reply during business hours.

Thank
You
Sponsors!
