I’m going to make a little interview to Jess Van Den from Epheriell Designs who has a brand new thing for all the creative entrepreneurs out there.
Today Jess has officially open the doors of the “Crafty and Connected: An Online Social Media Bootcamp for Indie Biz” e-course {affiliate link}, and the two good news is that you still have a few days to join in and that Jess is giving away one FREE spot for a lucky Imaginative Bloom’s reader!
A FEW QUESTIONS TO JESS…
What is the e-course about? Can you introduce it?
Sure! Crafty and Connected: An Online Social Media Bootcamp for Indie Biz {affiliate link} is a 6-week e-course for makers, bloggers, artists, photographers… basically anyone who has a one-person micro-biz or anyone who has plans for one.
When you sign up you receive access to a private blog, which is where all the content will appear over duration of the course.
During the course there will be 4-5 lessons per week, which will include content, images, video and screencasts. There will also be 3 live Q&A sessions for you to interact with me and your classmates, and ask any questions you have. There is also a private class forum where you can share your experiences.
When you start out with your own business, one of the biggest challenges is finding customers, and getting your work ‘out there’, and social media is such a powerful way to do this!
If you want to get involved in social media – things like facebook, twitter, and blogging – but don’t quite know how to go about it, then this course will help you to get comfortable with a range of social media, so you can experiment with them and find the ones that work for you and your business.
This course will teach you how to spend your precious time wisely, harnessing the power of social media to get your business out there, and help it to thrive and grow!
What makes the “Crafty and Connected” e-course special and different from other courses and resources about social media?
There is a lot of stuff out there about social media – but I really saw the need for one cohesive course that pulled everything together. I think a really important part of this course is that we don’t just cover the technical aspects of setting up with social media – I also teach you the why of social media, as well as guide you through how to best utlilise social media as a whole to build your business – and how to build buzz around what you have to offer!
I am teaching from experience – I have used social media to build my own full-time creative business, and I am a passionate believer in the power of social media. Put simply, my business would not exist without it!
Another vital aspect of this course is that I teach you to ‘work smart, not hard’. A lot of people stay away from social media because they fear it will take too much time (and believe me, it can if you let it!).
But I’ll teach you how to run a successful Facebook page in about 10 minutes a day; how to grow a network on twitter with as little as 15 minutes a day; how to build a blog with one or two posts a week. Using social media for your biz does not have to consume your life!
Talking about goals, what are the ones that participants will be able to achieve in their own business after your e-course?
Once you’ve finished the course, you’ll have accounts set up and be knowledgeable and comfortable using a whole range of social media – like twitter, facebook, flickr, stumbleupon, a blog, forums and more. In short, you’ll have the tools and strategies you need to jump into the world of social media and make it work for you and your business.
I’ll not only teach you what to do and how to do it – but help you to avoid some common pitfalls and mistakes that people often make when they get started with social media.
You’ll understand why you should be using these tools to market your business, and how you can best use them together to achieve powerful, long-lasting connections with others – which is the heart of social media.
You will understand how to spend time (wisely) – rather than money – to build your micro-business.

Ho fatto una piccola intevista a Jess Van Den di Epheriell Designs. Ha una cosa fresca fresca per tutti gli imprenditori creativi lì fuori.
Oggi Jess ha ufficialmente aperto le porte del corso online “Crafty and Connected: An Online Social Media Bootcamp for Indie Biz“{link affiliato}, e le due buone notizie sono che avete ancora un pò di giorni per potervi iscrivere e che Jess ha deciso di regalare un posto GRATUITO ad un fortunato lettore di Imaginative Bloom!
QUALCHE DOMANDA A JESS…
Di cosa tratta questo corso online? Puoi parlarcene?
Certo! Crafty and Connected: An Online Social Media Bootcamp for Indie Biz {link affiliato} è un corso online che dura 6 settimane, per creativi, bloggers, artisti, fotografi… in pratica per chiunque abbia una piccola attività indipendente propria o che stia pianificando di avviarne una.
Quando ti iscrivi hai accesso a un blog privato che è il posto in cui tutto il contenuto apparirà per l’intera durata del corso.
Durante il corso ci saranno 4-5 lezioni a settimana che includeranno contenuti, immagini, video e screencasts. Ci saranno anche 3 momenti live in cui potrai fare domande e ricevere risposte interagendo direttamente con me e con i tuoi compagni.
Quando inizi con la tua attività, uno dei compiti più difficili è quello di trovare clienti e far si che il tuo lavoro venga visto, e i social media sono un mezzo potente per farlo!
Se vuoi essere coinvolto nei social media – cose come facebook, twitter, blog – ma non sai bene come fare, questo corso ti aiuterà a prendere familiarità con vari mezzi di comunicazione sociale, e potrai sperimentare e trovare quelli che funzionano meglio per te e per il tuo business.
Questo corso ti insegnerà come spendere con saggezza il tuo tempo, sfruttando il potere dei social media per far approdare il tuo business lì fuori e aiutarlo a crescere e prosperare!
Cosa rende il corso “Crafty and Connected” speciale e differente dagli altri corsi e risorse sui social media?
C’è un sacco di roba lì fuori sui social media – ma ho visto che c’era davvero bisogno di un corso completo che mettesse tutto insieme. Penso che una parte davvero importante diquesto corso sia che non tratto solo gli aspetti tecnici di come settare i social media – ti insegno anche il perché dei social media, così come il guidarti su come utilizzarli al meglio come un insieme per costruire il tuo business – e come costruire del buzz (“chiacchierio”) attorno a ciò che hai da offrire!
Insegno dall’esperienza – ho usato i social media per costruire il mio business creativo full-time, e sono una convinta sostenitrice del potere dei social media. In parole povere il mio business non esisterebbe senza di essi.
Un altro aspetto vitale di questo corso è che ti insegno a ‘lavorare in modo rapido, non difficile’. Molte persone stanno alla larga dai social media perché hanno paura che richiedano troppo tempo (e credimi è così, se glielo permetti!).
Ma ti insegnerò come portare avanti una pagina Facebook di successo con soli 10 minuti al giorno; come crescere una rete di contatti in Twitter con meno di 15 minuti al giorno; come costruire un blog con uno o due post a settimana.
Usare i social media per il tuo business non deve consumarti la vita!
Parlando di obiettivi, quali sono quelli che i partecipanti al corso saranno in grado di raggiungere nel loro business dopo il tuo corso?
Una volta che avrai finito il corso, avrai tutti i tuoi accounts settati e sarai informato e a tuo agio nell’uso dei vari social media – come twitter, facebook, flickr, stumbleupon, un blog, dei forums e altro. In breve, avrai gli strumenti e le strategie di cui hai bisogno per entrare nel mondo dei social media e farli funzionare per te e per la tua attività.
Non ti insegnerò solo cosa fare e come farlo – ti aiuterò a evitare alcuni degli errori comuni che le persone spesso fanno quando iniziano ad usare i social media.
Capirai perché dovresti usare questi strumenti per il tuo business, e come puoi usarli insieme al meglio per ottenere potenti e durature connessioni con gli altri – che poi è il cuore dei social media.
Capirai come spendere il tuo tempo (saggiamente) – invece che i soldi – per costruire il tuo micro-business.

My wife and i have been really more than happy that Emmanuel managed to do his homework from your precious recommendations he was given out of the web site. It’s not at all simplistic just to continually be giving for free solutions that many some other people have been making money from. And we all already know we have got you to give thanks to for that. The most important explanations you have made, the easy site menu, the relationships you give support to instill – it is most superb, and it is facilitating our son and us believe that that situation is enjoyable, which is wonderfully mandatory. Many thanks for all!
