I’ve put together a workshop on the Pros and Cons of blogging.
I chose this topic because it kept cropping up over in the Circle FB group – people asking whether it’s worth it to have a blog; what the point was in this age of social media; if there were any ‘rules’ about blogging; what to do if they didn’t enjoy blogging… etc.
So, in this workshop I outline the Pros – the reasons why blogging is important for your business, and the Cons – the reason why blogging might not be for you, or why you might have been resisting setting up/running a blog for your biz.
If you do have a blog, share it with us in the comments below, as well as telling us WHY you have a blog.
If you don’t have one, share your thoughts on that with us, too.
P.S. I realised after filming this that my webcam didn’t film during the body of the workshop – but the slides/screen and audio was fine, so I ran with it. Sorry guys – you’ll just have to do without my gesticulating hands and facial expressions this month 😀
This workshop, I’m going to show you exactly how to set up an effective boosted post AND a regular ad campaign on Facebook.
I start out discussing the benefits of advertising on Facebook (why it’s the only advertising I do, and why I think it’s a good choice for you, too), as well some dos and dont’s when it comes to targeting and designing your ad.
I also have a challenge for you at the end of the workshop – so I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
This workshop focuses on helping you with your visual marketing.
I discuss 2 concepts – the 4 P’s of Visual Content, and the Content Cycle.
The aim of this workshop is to help you understand the power of visual marketing; to give you a conceptual framework to use when it comes to creating/finding visual content to use to market your business; and how to best use that content in as many places as possible to maximise your marketing ‘oomph’ with minimal effort.
I’m thrilled to announce something new – a 21-day bootcamp just for you!
Yep – in January, we’re going to work together to kick 2016 off with a bang, and set up you up for your best year in biz yet.
This bootcamp is focused on the things YOU need to do – as a handmade business owner – to ensure you’re ready to tackle a new year with clarity and focus.
The Biz Bootcamp will start on Monday, Jan 11th.
The Bootcamp is ONLY available to Thriver Circle members. And yes – it is at absolutely no extra cost above and beyond your monthly fee.
What Will It Look Like?
For the 21 days of the Bootcamp, there will be a daily lesson/activity for you to complete, and we will, of course, be discussing each one in the Circle FB Forum, so we can take advantage of the amazing support and advice we have for each other.
There will be:
An intro video from me at the start of each of the 3 weeks of the program – which I’ll email out to you.
A daily lesson here on the TC site (visible to members only).
A daily prompt in the FB group for us to use to discuss that day’s lesson/activity.
What Will It Cover?
There will be 3 main themes over the 3 weeks of the bootcamp.
You will get clear on what your business is going to look like in 2016.
You will do your goal setting and time management plans for the year ahead.
You will create a marketing plan for 2016.
By the end of the bootcamp, you will have a crystal-clear idea of what 2016 holds for your business, and how you’re going to get there.
