About this Program
This is going to be a 28 day marketing program (weekends off) that will get us into the habit of effective and consistent marketing, with low to no cost methods: and at least 30 minutes of your time daily.
Bootcamp will be about establishing routines and disciplines to do the daily marketing activities needed to keep your business growing.
It will be about meeting some of your online neighbours and icraft family, so from hereafter you will always have a support system. Read more >
There will be 2 new daily threads started by me, Christine Skaley.
Day 1 - Check In and Day's Assignment.
Day 1 - What Happened?
Throughout the day I'll encourage you to post questions and communicate freely in the forum, about what you are doing... You can brag, debate, question and even argue... but no whining.
Next day you will again see 3 new threads,
and so on and so on for each of the remaining days.
We will try and get everyone including newbies out of the gate with at least one sale. I hate zero. It looks fat. :)
We will make this fun and interesting with free stuff too! Read more >

The forums on each of the venues becomes a treasure trove of shared experiences about everything for selling online. Use it!

I've retired from a 26 year career of "suits and sales" and part of my professional background was sales training, technical instructing and strategic planning. I've seen this lousy economy before. However, people are still spending: so why are they not shopping at my store???
I thought we need a program that takes us back to basics. That's how the idea of "Sellers' Bootcamp" was born. Read more >
