Marketing is the Challenge

You may be interested in planning events and taking care of the details, but you need a client to do it for, that will pay you to plan their events. Unless of course you plan your own events.

How to get Clients

There are networking organizations for the event industry, like MPI (Meeting Professionals International), ILEA (International Live Events Association), HSMAI (Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International) and more.

Another way to make money in the event planning profession, is selling products and services to EVENT PLANNER‘s such as party supplies, tables, chairs, draping, balloons, decorations, flowers, the list goes on and on and on.

You can sell these products and promote them when you become an Affiliate Marketer. An affiliate marketer, is the middleman between people that manufacture and distribute products, and the end-user customer that buys them. Or the event planner.
