Last week I wrote about the exciting new one on one training program that ActiveRain is offering for those who want to become a Rainmaker.  Well the response has been so great that I have been very busy with those sessions.  But, many have asked if I can do this as a live webinar so they can see things live as I point them out.

With that being said, I am proud to announce that I will now be offering Live Webinars each week for those that are new to blogging and have not yet become a Rainmaker.  These webinars will be on Monday & Wednesday every week. In the beginning there will be 3 sessions per week. Monday will host 2 webinars, one at 1PM EST and another at 6PM EST.  Wednesday's session will be at 1PM EST.  Each webinar is limited to only 25 seats, so the make sure you register immediately.  The sessions will last aprroximately 60-90 minutes in length.  Unfortunately, if you are already a Rainmaker, this class isn't for you.  But, there is a great training session that Steven is offering for those that are currently a Rainmaker.  Check out his full schedule here.

What will be covered in the Webinar?

How to Optimize Your ActiveRain Profile.
How to Insert Photos into your Blog
How to Insert Hyperlinks.
Setting up Your Outside Blog.
How to write effective blog posts for consumers & search engines.
How to use your blog to connect with your community.
Topics to write about on your blog.
Question & Answer

How Much?!? How Much?!?

This is the greatest part, these webinars are only going to be $5.00 per person! But wait, theres more!  The $5.00 that you spend to join these webinars is not going to go to waste.  Not only will you receive a top notch training session on how to write blogs effectively to show up in the top of search engines which is worth much more than $5.00 in itself, you will also be given one full month to try out our Rainmaker Membership.  That includes your posts being indexed by search engines, the ability to send those posts to Localism and also posted to your personal Outside Blog.  As a final bonus, you will receive 1,000 bonus points for attending the webinar.

Why do I want to be a Rainmaker?

There are plenty of reasons why everyone should want to be a Rainmaker.  I am going to share just a few.  First, becoming a Rainmaker means that your posts will have the ability to harness the power of our 160,000+ members and the massive amount of search engine dominance that ActiveRain possesses.   Over 75% of ActiveRain's 2 million visitors per month come directly from the search engines.   Also, Rainmaker accounts consistently outrank members personal websites in searches.  Our Rainmakers posts average 500 views per post.  Others are receiving much more traffic (25,000 views!).

How do I sign up?

Well signing up is rather simple.  Simply fill out the form below with your contact information and I will send you an email confirming your session and also how to register.

 

If you were wondering why you would want to be a Rainmaker, here are 6 reasons why everyone should be a Rainmaker. Also, here are some awesome results from a member who took my webinar: Take Rainmaker Webinar today, the #1 spot on Google 10 hours Later!

Did you know I'm still tapping my fingers and trying to get you coded. It's all your fault I can't come up with the right code. You put waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much pressure on me :)

I wish you the best of luck with this endeavor. You're going to be really good at this and who knows, maybe as I watch it progress the code will just hit me in the head like a brick :)

Jeremy, another great idea that would have been so helpful when I was a newbie. Heck, I'm sure I could still learn something from it, since I'm self-taught and there might be some missing links. I'll check out Steven's event.

TLW- I have listened to your advice. 

Brad- Your post is really freat & gives some excellent info.

Judi- From what I understand, there is a limit on the classes.  I think they are also limited to 25.

Sandy- Currently there is training available for those that are already rainmakers from Steven.

Michael- Once I get your contact info in the signup box I will be in contact.

Patricia- She is actually grown even more, I need to get some updated pictures.

Sonja- Isabelle is a great assistant!

Lisa- Definitely send them to this post.  Or maybe you want to reblog it to your post so that they can find it on your place.  Remember, if they get an invitation from you, you get 10% of their points!

Thanks Rebecca!

Lisa Ludlow- Hi to my NC friend!  I look forward to having you join my class!

Hehehe David- You don't want to do something crazy like that!

I just updated the calendar with the upcoming webinars for the rest of the month.  There has been a bunch of people who have signed up so far, the classes are starting to really fill up, so don't wait!  You might lose your seat!

Linda- The reason you have a rainmaker badge without the outside blog is because you were grandfathered in with the ability to write public posts because you had joined AR before Feb 16, 2009 & also wrote at least one blog post before then.  You do have an outside blog, but it is one of the original ones that AR offered to its members.  It does not allow you to make all the great customizations like the new ones.  You can however upgrade to one of those.

Mark- I did receive your contact information.  But, you are already signed up as a Rainmaker.  Therefore, you need to try & get into one of the classes that Steven is teaching.  His are geared for those that are already a Rainmaker.  Mine is for those that are not & is being taught differently.  See the calendar here for dates & times.

Hi Jeremy! I was reading through the list of topics that will be discussed during the webinar and am wondering if the content is not already available on an AR blog post somewhere? I've learned a lot of what I know about AR from AR blogs, so maybe the webinar is more for those who just want to learn everything at once without having to search for tutorials themselves?
