Speaker Information & Resources
WELCOME TO THE 4th ROUND OF THE MASTERY SUMMIT!
September 23-25 2025
I'm Tanya Smith (Pronounced Ton-ya) and I am so excited to collaborate with you to create a high-value, unique event for photographers!
The Mastery Summit: Art and Business for Portrait Photographers, is a 3-day virtual event that’s gonna help photographers elevate their current business and show them what’s possible, without a ton of overwhelm with the help of YOUR actionable steps.
Think of this like an in-person conference where you share your expertise, chat with followers and network with other speakers and attendees…just without the airfare and hotel cost! ;-)
On this page, you’ll find resources to make your life as a speaker as easy as possible, and answer questions you may have. If you happen to run into a question I didn’t answer, don’t hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected] Or if it’s easier, message me on Instagram @tanyalsmith.photography anytime.
I will be scheduling a couple of Zoom calls with speakers to go over everything with you and help you with your offers, freebies, opt-ins, bonuses and anything else you need to make this experience amazing for you AND attendees
I know that things like summits and bundles aren't always the most smooth or beneficial experiences, there is a lot of noise out there, but your experience is my top priority here. I want to keep this Mastery Summit an amazing event and continue to grow it in the future.
I can't host this event without you and I’m dedicated to ensuring every one of you enjoys the process and benefits from participating.

A few fun surprises along the way 🤫
How it will work
Here’s how the Summit will work:
The event will run from September 23-25, 2025
Your Presentation will be pre-recorded, 35-45(ish) minutes in length, and can include promotion of your related freebie.
You will be asked to check in to the attendee Facebook Group from time to time during the 3 days while the summit is live to engage with attendees, answer simple questions, and point them to additional resources you may have.
Leading up to the summit, we’ll have about two weeks of promotion. I have provided email swipe copy, social media swipe copy, and social media graphics to make it all easy. Find them HERE
Each speaker is required to promote at least once via email and once on social media to ensure everyone benefits, but anything above and beyond that is totally up to you, your goals with affiliate commissions, and how much you'd like to support the event.
🎉More promotion from you = more money paid to you!
I'll even have a suggested posting/sending schedule for you to make promo easy to outsource to a VA.
I will start promoting on September 5 - you will start on September 9. I'm starting early to work out any tech issues.
During the promotion phase, as the summit is running, and for a week after the summit is complete, we’ll also be promoting upsells (the BASIC All Access Pass, and the VIP All Access Pass). This includes replays and additional bonuses we’ll all throw in. This will provide immense value to our attendees while making the work of promoting and creating a presentation worthwhile by allowing you to bring in affiliate commissions and grow your email list. Yay!
The experience for attendees:
The people you send to the summit will have a great experience! I want them to feel as fired up as if they attended a live conference. and I want them to get great info from the speakers (you!) as well as network in the FB group with other attendees and speakers.
1. When they land on the registration page (using your affiliate link) they will enter their name and email to grab their free ticket.
2. They will be taken to a page to offer them the All Access Pass (Basic or VIP) which will give them access to replays as well as LOTS of goodies contributed by speakers, sponsors and me. This is where you will earn your affiliate dollars. We will be promoting the All Access Pass, before, during and after the summit. If they originally registered with YOUR affiliate link and decide to upgrade anytime within 30 days, YOU will get the credit
3. During the summit, they can watch each presentation for 24 hours for free (unless they purchased an All Access Pass)
4. I'm planning on having high engagement in the FB group during the summit with live events, games, prizes etc. You are welcome to reach out if you want to do a live Q&A relating to your presentation.
What I'll ask of you
So this all sounds great, but what kind of work does it require of you? Let’s chat about it!
My goal is to make everything easy so we can all enjoy the event while providing immense value and also growing our business.
1. 🚨Basic Information- completed- thank you
2. 🚨Presentation- I have everone's thank you!
3. 🚨All-Access Pass VIP Contribution (optional) -I have everyone's- thank you
4. Promotion- SPEAKER PROMOTION HAS NOW BEGUN!
The power of an online summit comes from a group of experts coming together for a single cause. The joint promotion that happens because of that is a huge benefit to everyone involved.
To ensure this event is beneficial to everyone, speakers are required to send a minimum of one email about the event and post at least once on social media during the promotion period, starting on September 9. The more you promote, the more chances you have to make sales using your affiliate link.
Your emails, IG & FB posts, and graphics are already done to make it as easy as possible for you to promote (and make money!) All the promo assets HERE for you 👈
Make sure to share your affiliate link so you can get in on the commission that will come from any sale of the summit upgrades
Remember, if you choose to contribute a bonus to the All Access VIP Pass, your commission will increase from 40% to 50%. Yay!
You’ll find swipe copy and graphics in the Resource Vault below. (coming soon!)
I am also happy to collaborate to help you promote. For example, I can come on your podcast, write a guest newsletter, or do a live in your Facebook group (all using your affiliate link) to help you get some extra conversions!
5. Event Participation Sept 23-25
And last comes participation during the week of the event. Since we’ll already have done the work of creating the presentations and extra resources, we’ll be able to sit back and relax for the most part!
All I ask is that you pop in to the Mastery Summit Facebook group HERE during the Summit if you're available. Attendees will be giving you shout outs and asking Qs
