Online Classes Launching in February!

OMG, I am thrilled to share this news with you today! But first, let me make something clear: I am not teaching online yoga classes [yet]. Sorry for anyone who read the title of this post and got excited about yoga. My badasana. 

However, I hope that you're still somewhat excited to learn that starting in February, I going to be teaching live, online classes discussing some of my favorite topics (more on the topics below).  I'm obviously very excited about this new venture. 

Why online classes, and why now? Because when I launched my Building an Online Presence E-Course in early January, I received lots of messages from people who wanted to join, but taught on Wednesday nights, or couldn't commit to the whole thing, or live in a different time zone, or would have had to miss a class or two. So, these new, 1-hour classes are my response to those requests.

I hope that by offering shorter, one-shot classes at various times over the course of a few months, you'll be able to jump in and take a class on a subject that you want to learn about, without having to commit to a weekly meeting time. 

I've included the Starr Struck Course Catalog (Hehe! I love school!) below, and it can also be found under my new "Online Classes" tab. If you want to reserve your spot in any of these upcoming classes, you can do so here. 

Logistics: Each of the following classes are 1-hour, live, and will take place via Google Hangout at the time listed below. All classes are limited to 9 participants and are $25. Within 24 hours of purchase, you will receive a confirmation email with further instructions re: accessing your class. Registration closes 24 hours prior to class start time.

DESCRIPTION:

This class is for current or aspiring bloggers who are struggling with getting ideas, growing their readership, posting regularly, and/or staying inspired to keep writing. In this class we will discuss how to grow and develop regular blog columns/features, hone in on your area(s) of expertise, and set aside regular time for blogging so that it becomes a part of your daily life. 

Need help promoting your workshops, events, classes, and services online? Want to build your social media presence without being too annoying or in-your-face? This class is for you. We will primarily discuss Facebook marketing and Facebook business pages, but will also touch on Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube. 

If you are a yoga teacher, you are a brand--whether you like it or not. Every time that you get in front of a class, hand out a business card, post something to Facebook, or hang a workshop flier, you are putting out a message about your brand. Learn how to make that message more cohesive, how to ensure that your brand reflects who you truly are as a teacher, and how to make everything with your name on it standout {and shine!}. 

This class is for those who have a good, service, or idea to share, but no website [or a crappy website that needs a complete makeover]. We will discuss the basics of building a website on your own--what services are out there, how to use them, what pages your site MUST include, and a timeline for getting your website up in less than a month. We will touch on setting up both e-commerce sites and informational sites, and how you can do all of this while spending very little $. Yes :) 

I'm no video whiz, but with an iPad or iPhone, iMovie, and a $20 mic that I bought from Amazon, I've made over 30 YouTube videos that have garnered over 4,800 views. If you, too, want to reach your students or audience with basic yoga videos on YouTube, join me for this online class. We'll talk equipment, how-tos, best practices, and the process of setting up a YouTube channel and promoting your videos. 

So what do you think? Doesn't this sound like fun? I'm a student at heart--always have been, always will be--so when I hear learning, I hear F-U-N.

If you, too, feel this way, then I hope you'll jump aboard this learning train! We're leaving the station and we're not waiting for anyone! Except you, of course ;) You can sign up here. 

Oh, and yes, I will be adding more classes over the next couple of months, and will definitely repeat the classes that have a higher demand. 

As always, thank you SO much for your continual support. I heart you!
