Upcoming classes: Backups, Upgrades, & Web Colors

A quick roundup of upcoming stuff:

Tomorrow (Thursday, June 10), I’m Cairene MacDonald’s guest for a special Bite the Candy workshop on backups and upgrades. So if you’ve been putting off backing up your hard drive, or upgrading your WordPress plugins, or you want support with other backup-and-upgrade-related issues, join us for a dose of reassurance and some focused work time.

Next week, on Wednesday, June 16, I’m holding a free Color Clinic teleclass with artist Amy Crook of Not Dead Yet Studios and Antemortem Arts. We’ll talk about the do’s and don’ts of choosing colors for your website (I’ve got lots of stuff to ask Amy, because I’m a builder, not a designer — I deliver function, and the form is pretty much up to you), plus we’ll announce our top secret joint project!

Finally, my Love Your List workshop with Shannon Wilkinson is going really well, and you can still join us! The live workshop runs through June 22, and you’ll have access to all the call recordings so you can catch up and get AWeber all set up to build your business. We will be packaging the recordings and creating a workbook for a home-study version, which will be priced 50% higher. So if you want all the same materials as the home-study version, for a much lower price, you’ll want to sign up now.

I love doing these live classes, and I’d be thrilled to have you join me for any of them.

Free Teleclass May 18: Love Your List

Love Your List free teleclass on AWeberYep, I’ve got another teleclass coming up, hot on the heels of WordPress Swimming Lessons (the first webinar session was yesterday and it was, as usual, a blast! You can still sign up, get the recording of yesterday’s session, and have plenty of time to practice before Friday’s Q&A session, if you’re so inclined).

For this next one, I’m partnering with my fabulous friend Shannon Wilkinson, who is an expert on helping people get out from underneath piles of should (and she’s a life coach and NLP expert and has helped me shift my perceptions to get past stuff that was blocking me).

We were chatting about how we use email service provider AWeber for our various email lists, and we realized that many of the people we’ve talked to are intimidated by the technological process of setting up an email list and using it — and at the same time they feel kind of icky about doing email marketing at all. It’s no wonder that they get stuck!

So we decided to put our heads together to help our peeps with these problems. By combining my step-by-step tech-teaching style with Shannon’s genius for helping people reframe difficult situations, we believe we can help you overcome both the technological and the emotional barriers to integrating email marketing into your business.

If those feelings of intimidation and ick are familiar to you, then you might dig our free teleclass, Love Your List: Three ways to get more out of your AWeber investment.

Teleclass details

  • Date: Tuesday, May 18
  • Time: 10am Pacific (what’s this in your time zone?)
  • Yes, we will be recording the call and sending the mp3 to everyone who signs up.
  • Cost: Your email address so we can send you the phone number and access code, and the mp3 afterward
  • This call is for you if: You have an AWeber account but don’t know what to do to get started using it, or you’re planning on signing up for a new AWeber account in the near future.

We’ll give you three steps you can take immediately to start using AWeber’s powers (for good, of course!), and we’ll address that “ick — email marketing is yucky” feeling with a dose of Shannon’s perception-shifting mojo.

We’re also planning a four-week workshop in June to delve into these topics more deeply, and we do plan to mention the workshop at the very end of this free call. But our intention with this call is to give you good solid action steps and a perception-shifting exercise that you can use again and again, not spend a lot of time giving you a sales pitch. We figure that if we give you something useful, that’s the best sales pitch of all.

Ready to sign up? Just fill out this cute little AWeber form (if you can’t see it because you’re reading this in a feed reader or in an email message, head on over to the Love Your List page to see the original form) and we’ll send you the dial-in number, plus the call recording afterward.
