Everything You Need Before Your First Fireside Chat

Two things stop most first Fireside Chats from happening. Not knowing what time to run it, and not knowing what to call it. Fix both right now, in the next 5 minutes, and you're ready to go live.

Pick your time from these, don't invent a new one

Two windows work best for a live professional audience.

11am to 12pm. Catches people on a lunch break or between meetings. Best for a daytime professional audience.

7pm to 8pm. Catches people right after their workday ends. Best for a broader working audience, including anyone on a 9-to-5.

Pick one of these two, one exact day and time. If you've already run BookNow sessions, check your own calendar for when those actually landed, Accomplishr's calendar now syncs across your other calendars too, so that history is easy to pull up in one place instead of hunting through old bookings.

Title it using Goal plus Avatar

Fill in this sentence: "[Outcome] for [specific person]." Not "Career chat." "How to Land Your First Client for Freelance Designers."

Make sure your topic isn't a duplicate

If your topic sounds close to something already live on Accomplishr, add your specific angle: your industry, your audience, your method. "How to Negotiate a Raise" becomes "How Nurses Negotiate a Raise During Contract Renewal."

New to the platform entirely?

If you haven't set up your profile or your first session yet, start with Getting Started on Accomplishr: A Quick Guide for New Experts before you touch the time and title above, it covers the setup this post assumes you've already done.

Before you close this tab

Write one sentence: "[Day] at [time], I'm hosting [title]." If you can write it right now, you're ready to create the session.
