Workshop Description:
This class deals with how to use cutting edge video conferencing technology to get more out of your interactions, save time and build your brand with professional contacts, readers and peers. It takes premises of in person handselling and shows how to translate those to social media and the digital world in general.
Example: An author puts out on social media that she will be having a video conference chat/tea for five lucky members of her newsletter list. She advertises via social media to drive more subscribers to her newsletter. She randomly selects five people and sets a time. She author could prepare a swag box with her favorite tea and cookies and mail it out prior to her tea party. The day of the party, the author makes her tea and has her five do the same and has a one hour video conference Q and A session/visit with those five people. The visit could include a reading or just a visit with tea and cookies. The possibilities are endless.
Example 2: An author has paid for edits from an editor and would like to go through some of them page by page or line by line. The author pulls up her WIP and does a session with her editor using the screen share function and can go line by line, word by word with ease and in a format that is efficient time wise for both parties.
