Tech School

For Website Stuff:

I focus on WordPress and well-known plugins (like addons) for WordPress.  I currently have tutorials for:

• How to setup hosting for a WordPress website using Siteground or Flywheel
• How to setup your WordPress website the right way (so you actually understand it)
• How to design your WordPress website using Elementor Pro
• How to setup a store on your WordPress website using Woocommerce and a few more advanced Woocommerce tricks (like order bumps)
• How to create and sell an ecourse without a membership plugin
• How to setup a membership on your WordPress website using Memberpress (coming very soon)
• How to setup a course on your WordPress website using LearnDash (coming very soon)

Email tools:

Currently, there is only 1 tutorial in Tech School (How to setup MailerLite and start collecting email addresses for free) for email tools, but increasing these will be my #1 focus for the next few months.

Other tools:

I will be adding tutorials for all the tools I use in my business eventually, but right now you will find:

• How to use Canva for beginners
• Basic and advanced Canva hacks
• Canva free vs Pro
• Elementor free vs Pro
• How to setup a course on Teachable (coming very soon)

Tools I know I will be adding tutorials for overtime:

• Podcasting tools (Buzzsprout, Descript, Fusebox etc)
• Gsuite email
• Zoho email
• Trello
• Mindmeister
• Screencastomatic
• Searchie
• Tailwind
• WP Rocket
• Accessally

Ask Me Anything:

In addition to the "official" tutorials, I also answer all sorts of tech questions about all sorts of tool in Ask Me Anything such as:

• How to create and deliver a freemium
• How to create a popup
• Embedding video
• How to protect your site from spam
• Podcast tech questions
• Canned responses in gmail
• Sales funnels
• Sales pages

And much, much more.  All these videos are saved and searchable so you will find many answers there as well.

But really, it's up to you!

Tech School members will vote on the tutorials they want next and can add tutorials to the voting list that I hadn't thought to add.  I want this school to benefit you and answer your questions - so you will have a big part in deciding what gets added and in what order.

Elementor Pro is an incredibly robust page/theme builder available and I am very adept at using it.  I can answer any question about it that you can throw at me, so if you do use it, I can help you design the website of your dreams.

To be 100% truthful, if you do not have Elementor Pro (affiliate), there will be some tutorials that will not be helpful to you.

But there will be many that still are.  The basic WordPress tutorials or how to setup a store on your site,  how to create a membership site etc. will all still apply.  In addition, much of what I teach can be done with the free Elementor Page builder.

But without at least the free page builder, even though you'll know how to create a store or a membership etc., you will have to figure out how to design the pages inside of your store or membership on your own using your theme.  There is no possible way I can provide support for any and all themes, and I don't offer custom coding.

So while Elementor Pro (affiliate) isn't required for Tech School, it is highly recommended.

But I truly believe Elementor Pro to be an investment that is WELL worth it for your business. It means you can change anything and everything about the design of your site without ever having to hire a designer.  It's only $49 per year! Just do it!  (affiliate)

You get access to everything right away!  No waiting.  And I add more tutorials regularly so the tutorials you have access to will keep growing.

My plan is to add at least one tutorial series (which can be anywhere from 5-30 individual tutorials) monthly.

I believe so.  There are tutorials that will teach you how to set up a store one your website where you can sell digital (or physical) products.  There are tutorials for how to create an eCourse and/or membership if you are interested in doing either of those things.

But more, it will be the members that determine which tutorials I create each month.  You can vote for what should come next.

And if you need something done on your website and I don't yet have a tutorial inside of tech school for it, you can apply to have me use your website to create one and do the work for you!

*You will also want to read the answer to the "Do I have to use Elementor Pro" question above.

Yay!  Then I will walk you through how to do it right the first time!

But in answer to your question, yes, Tech School will be perfect for you.  The tutorial series will walk you right through getting your site online and getting your pictures and text to look just like you want them to.

I do not currently have any tutorials inside of Tech School for these tools.  There are a few reasons for this:

• I don't (yet) have experience with these tools, so I can create WordPress tutorials much faster
• I personally prefer (and typically recommend) to have 100% control of my website and content.  Most of these "all in one" platforms have restrictions that frustrate me.  By trying to meet everyone's needs and do ALL THE THINGS, they often sacrifice in quality OR flexibility.
• Quality over Quantity.  I want to keep my tutorials current and I don't want to have tutorials for so many different tools that I can't keep up and provide the quality I want to inside of Tech School

For now, the website tutorials I create will focus on WordPress and the plugins that make it such a flexible, powerful platform.

But, I also want to meet your needs.  Right now, there are enough of you who want/need WordPress help that I feel I can focus there for the time being, but if that changes and I get a high demand for a different tool, I am open to adjusting.

I have experience with MailerLite, Drip, and ConvertKit and those will be the 3 main email service providers I will cover inside of Tech School - at least at first.

I am just now starting to create these. I love these 3 systems for their ease of use, price point, and automation capabilities.

If there ends up being a strong demand for another email service provider I may be willing to branch out, but not initially.  I will focus on just those 3 for a while.

Ask Me Anything was something I originally just called "group coaching, but one of the early members though "Ask Me Anything" was a better name and I agreed. 

The idea is that when you are new online (or even if you've not), it can be hard to get answer to your questions from someone that you trust without paying hundreds of dollars an hour for coaching. 

I want you to be able to ask me any question at all about your business and get an honest, helpful answer. 

We can do a deep dive into your messaging.  I can log onto your website and fix a tech issue for you. I can do an audit/assessment of your website design.  Truly, anything!

You can submit questions anytime at all.  Then, I go live twice a week (Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons) to answer those questions on a first come first serve basis.  I will add more sessions as needed.

All calls are recorded and posted in the Ask Me Anything community.  The videos are well labeled with time stamps and you can also search the actual videos for any word and be taken to the exact spot I say that word in any/all of the videos.

I plan to exceed your expectations with Tech School.  I want you to feel like you are getting a bargain.  

But if you decide Tech School isn't for you, just send me an email letting me know why it didn't work for you (so I can improve it) in the first 30 days and I will refund your money no questions asked.

If you have questions about accessing content or billing etc, my assistant, you will be able to contact my assistant Audra or I and we will take care of you.

If you are a Bronze Tech School member and have questions about your website tech, you can ask inside The Goodness Squad community where I, or other members can respond.

If you are a Platinum Tech School member, you can submit questions to me anytime you want.  I will answer these questions twice a week during a live "Ask Me Anything" session.  These sessions are recorded if you cannot attend live.

You can easily cancel with just a click of your mouse - I'm not going to hold you hostage!
