You Out Loud! Program Planning for Non-Planners

Want to create additional income streams with the knowledge and experience that you already have? SECP is planning a series of presentations with experts to help you do just that.

Our Presenter Marie Daniels is a coach, an educator, and a business professional. She's worked as both a trainer in corporate America and as an instructor for college students and young adults.

Marie brings a love of clear communication, conflict management, facilitation, and relationship building and she brings years of experience as an educator, mentor, trainer, and business person to my current career as a Communications Coach. Marie also does a weekly radio show here.

The Concept Have you ever wanted to share your knowledge and experience with other people but had no idea how to get started? Have you tried creating a workshop or presentation but just couldn't figure out exactly what you wanted to do or how to do it? If so, then this presentation is just what you need! When you leave, you'll have the outline for an actual workshop including objectives, goals, activities (if appropriate), and a takeaway for participants.

Objective Participants learn how to turn an idea into a workshop to generate income

Goals At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to create an outline for a client-attracting workshop

Takeaway Each participant will develop a workshop outline that includes an objective, goals, possible activities, and a takeaway

Have you considered using affiliate programs to market your products or services?

Have you considered joining affiliate programs and promoting products you love?

Would you like to learn some basics and hear from others interested in the same thing?

We all have products we love, whether or not we are the creators. Affiliate marketing is a great tool, especially for small business owners. Whether you are promoting your own product, or someone else’s, affiliate marketing can develop into a great additional revenue stream.

In this presentation and facilitated discussion, you’ll learn:

* What an affiliate program is
* How to earn commissions on products you already love and promote
* Resources to get you started
* Feedback and insight from those already doing it!

This workshop is best for: Small business owners and service providers learning about and beginning to use or start affiliate programs.
