 October 3: How to DIY Your Website (No Coding Required!)

As book creators, we need to have a professional website. In this webinar, you will learn why you need a website (and not just a social media page), the 3 things you need to have on your website (and what the bonuses pages could be), and how to create your website from scratch in less than a day. Attendees will receive a DIY Website Worksheet to help them get started.
*Registration for the live webinar link closes 5am the morning of the event.

October 20: Social Media 101: Do’s, Don’ts, and How to Stay Engaged
Are you overwhelmed by the thought of keeping up with social media? Do you feel like it’s something you need to do but don’t know where to start? And what about the seemingly constant changes on social platforms? In this webinar, you will learn where it is best for you to be on social media, pitfalls to avoid when posting, and how to make social media work for you!
*Registration for the live webinar link closes 5am the morning of the event.

November 14: Hello Email List, It’s Me, Again

Have you thought about starting an email newsletter? Do you have an email list already but aren’t sure how to use it effectively? Are you overwhelmed by the thought of sending email after email? And what do you write?? In this webinar, we will talk about why having an email list is important (more important than social media!), how to get subscribers and keep them, and the number one mistake people make when creating emails to their list.

*Series registration closes 5am on Monday, November 14. See each webinar above for other registration cutoffs.
