Class is a lot of information and a lot of fun– for me, anyway!
*******
This was originally a “live” class example of how direct a medium blogging really is.
In the afternoon on Monday of my “Online Business Commando Training”, 3 woman entrepreneurs and their assistants sat down to their own laptops as I guided them through:
While I confess to cramming in too much information for most people into one day, I can now be sure to say that everyone had an “intensive” time and is working away on creating a powerful online channel for their existing offline businesses– all 7 of their businesses (between just three students).
Because the class is devleopmental, I’ve already some adjustments based on the first 48 hours feedback (it was a full eight hour day of information & practice, and I didn’t take enough breaks, I know, I’m sorry). The next Commando class August 7,8 will run two consecutive, shorter days and offer 50% more focus on individual students and 50% more detail of what you really need to be doing with your website, Facebook, Twitter and all the rest if you’re a professional artist or run a small creative or personality-based business .
I’m also going to do a complementary extended follow upclass in person especially for these three brave women– think “class reunion” but in just a few weeks, to help evaluate performance and clarify both strategic and/or technical issues that arise getting out of the gate.
I say over and over again in my classes that you’re not trying to become a “webmaster”, you’re trying to build a business and make money. Follow through and perserverence are essential in business and harnessing the power of the internet and social media for your business is no different, so I’m following through on my commitment to your success by always working to improve, not just my classes, but their ultimate impact on your bottom line.
Even though it was a bit of a family vacation in Pittsburgh last week after the opening of our show at Coalesce last Friday, I worked enough to get the next round of art and business-of-art classes published on the San Diego Finishing School website.
I’m especially excited about Monday’s new Online Business Commando Training, a customized marketing class created at the request of one of my long time business associates in the art & design community here in San Diego, because of circumstances there are two spots open at our secret undisclosed North County location!
I never advertised this unique class to the general public because I thought it was “full”, but now that two people are unable to attend, two spots are open to anyone who happens to read this in San Diego before Monday morning at ten am.
If you haven’t seen any of the material on the Finishing School site, I described this class as the ultimate shortcut for small creative or personality based businesses to quickly and powerfully leverage online tools like websites, blogs and “social media” into cash-generating audience activity.
