In our marketing webinar this month I shared a great resource for questions. Even if you attended the webinar, I thought you might like to know more about it.
Conversation Starters World is a website with tons of questions you can use as you like. For your own personal development. To enhance your relationships. Or as I suggested in our webinar, as content. Great, engaging content!
Now a question for you: Did you miss this month's webinar? Or want to see it again?
Good news! The materials from the Spontaneous Social Media Posting Strategies webinar are available! Get the audio, video, chat, key ideas (notes) and the slides right now at Spontaneous-Social.
And I don't know who needs to hear this, but if that's you, here goes: You don't have to do this alone. I am here for you. See you Monday?

You know how often our most-liked social media posts were from the inspiration of the moment? Nothing we'd planned, but something so authentic that it drives engagement?
Only problem is, how can we duplicate that "lightning in a bottle"? I mean, is it is even possible?
Short answer = YES. And I will show you how.
In this month's marketing masterclass, you will discover:
Where to find inspiration for your posts
How to convert casual inspiration into engaging content
The good news about our webinar platform: You may have already noticed, but just in case you haven't, we're going back to Zoom for our monthly marketing webinars. The other platform failed two times out of three, and it was just too much disruption.
Bottom line: You don't have to register for this webinar! You may register if you want to get a confirmation and a reminder. But it's not necessary. Members will find the access link here: Spontaneous-Social
Can't make the webinar Thursday? You're covered! You will still get access to the video, slides, and notes on the DIY site, just as soon as it is ready. Yeah, baby!

One of the greatest things about the DIY is that our community is virtual. You don't have to leave your house to get support, guidance, and resources for your business.
Every month we have a group coaching call on Zoom for Premium members. Each participant get an initial 5 minutes, followed by a 90-second "lightning" round. That might not sound like a lot of time, but a lot gets done in these short but valuable sessions.
Wondering if group coaching would work for you?
Here's what DIYer Kimberly Ficklin has to say:
"Many say group coaching doesn’t work but I actually prefer it. The other business owners are inspiring as they work through their coaching and inevitably I learn something (or a few things) new on each call. Often, the subject that someone else is getting coaching on isn’t pertinent to me at the time but many times later, I’ll be able to use it and not have to use more coaching time to accomplish it."
And here's what DIYer Stephanie Arnheim says:
"It always surprises me at how my mind kicks into gear on other parts of my business as I hear what others are doing and gives me extra motivation and support."
Here's how to get the most out of your laser marketing coaching sessions:
1. Know what you want from our time together, and ask for it. Are you looking for feedback, answers, acknowledgment, support, guidance, ideas, celebration? Let me know so I don't make assumptions that leave you disappointed.
2. Be ready for your turn. Between each segment, I repeat the order that members will be served. I do this so you'll be prepared when it is your turn. Have the document or website open, so that when you share your screen you don't waste precious time searching folders or trying to remember your password while the clock is ticking.
3. Show up regularly, even if you don't have any questions to ask. You can share your successes, update us on your progress, brainstorm ideas, or get quick tips on your current projects. You can ask me to ask you a question, because yeah, I do coaching. 😊 You may find that validation and acknowledgment are tremendously reassuring and motivating, especially in trying times.
Our next group Marketing Coaching Call is on Wednesday at 2 PM Pacific. This is an exclusively Premium member event.
Not yet a Premium member? Current members can upgrade right now for only $47/month. Go ahead, email me with your questions. I promise to answer.
How are you doing, my friend? In these tough times, I hope that you are OK, and that you know that our DIY community is here for you. Yep, even though I am now in Spokane.
If your business is struggling because of the shutdown, you may be able to get some relief. Have you checked into the forgivable loans for small business program? Here's a link to see if you qualify: https://covid19relief.sba.gov
Another form of support available to you right now is the DIY Facebook group. You'll find lots of interaction, ideas, and helpful posts. And you'll find that you're not alone--even if you are stuck at home by yourself. 🥱
One example of the kind of support in the group is the beautiful banner (above) from artist Cynthia Mosser. She's offering 3 banners that you can download at tiny.cc/free_banners. Thank you, Cynthia! 🙏
Speaking of support, here's a note to Insider members. You can upgrade to full Premium membership for just $47 a month now, and you'll be locked in at that rate. Yeah, I hesitated to mention upgrading during this crisis, but it's a deal I can offer so this is me trying to help.
Premium members, our monthly Virtual Mastermind meeting is on Wednesday. We're going to talk about Canva tips and tricks, so bring your secret hacks to the meeting to share. Be sure to cast your vote 🗳️ for this month's second discussion topic in our Facebook group.
Thank you all for your kind messages on my move. Your support sustains me. 🤗
