<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WordPress 101: Web Design</span></strong> has been scheduled for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">four Mondays starting Sept. 13, 7-9:30pm EST</span>, plus <span style="text-decoration: underline;">four Thursdays 3-5pm EST</span>.  This is the internet’s premier training for WordPress website development, oriented towards beginner and intermediate users, not to mention one of the most affordable at just $250.  It consists of 6 lecture/presentation hours and 12 practice hours.  Look at it as an expert-training where you do the work, learning as you go, as I watch over your shoulder answering all your questions – then you go out and create as many sites as you want for each small business you run, in about an hour each.  See below what students have to say about this training.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WordPress 102: Web Marketing</span></strong> is an all-new course.  It runs <span style="text-decoration: underline;">four Mondays starting Oct. 11, 7-9:30pm</span>, plus <span style="text-decoration: underline;">four Thursdays 3-5pm EST</span>.  It covers some of the same material as before (newsletter management systems, keyword analysis and optimization, online video etc) <em>but we’ll be taking a much deeper dive into social media and blog marketing.</em> This is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the</span> course to learn how to get exposure for your products or services online.  Cost is also $250, or $450 for both courses.</p>
<p>I am not ready to take registrations yet – in fact I am at <a href="http://www.burningman.com/" target="_blank">Burning Man</a> next week (for the second time!) so please be patient with email inquiries – but keep your eye out for another email coming the week of Sept. 7.  There will also be the usual free intro call on <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Thursday Sept. 9 at 3pm EST</span>.</p>
<p>Here is what some of our students are saying:</p>

<p>I have known David for years, have watched him build an internet empire, which has culminated in this program in which he has condensed his entire business experience into 6 easy-to-follow modules. </p>
<p><strong>The cost?&#160; $97.&#160; Unbelievable.</strong></p>
<p>This program is not just about making money.&#160; It’s about living your purpose and monetizing your passion, some of the same material that I teach in the webinars, and very affordable and well-presented.&#160; <em>You will however need to act soon, as it expires Thursday night Aug. 26 at midnight.</em></p>
<p>By the way I don’t make any money on this (I could probably find my affiliate link somewhere, but I don’t have time and I need you to see this right away before I can talk to David due to the short offer expiration)</p>
<p>Check it out</p>

<p>I just returned from 4 days at the <a href="http://www.integraltheoryconference.org/default.html">Integral Theory in Action Conference</a> in Pleasant Hill, California.&#160; This is one of the world’s leading interdisciplinary conferences for consciousness development and for business development from an integral or holistic perspective.&#160; </p>
<p>It blew my mind.</p>
<p>And it brought home something that I have been aware of for a while: that in my classes and program I address the <em><strong>technology of success</strong></em> – which is important to master of course – but the far greater issue for most of us is the <strong>psychology of success</strong>.</p>
<p>Have you ever:</p>
<ul>
<li>Wondered why is it so difficult for many of us heart-centered (service-oriented) professionals to make a good living through our passion?&#160; </li>
<li>Felt like you had to either sacrifice happiness in your pursuit of success, or pursue your happiness (mission or calling) but had difficulty achieving the level of success (income and contribution) that you deeply want?</li>
</ul>
<p>Well, finally, there is hope.&#160; A lot of people are asking these questions.&#160; There is actually a mass-movement happening right now away from traditional, competitive, dog-eat-dog style of business and towards business as a calling, a mission, that serves both our happiness / fulfillment, and does God’s work in the world. A way of uniting our passion and our livelihood.</p>
<p>Over the coming weeks and months I am going to be introducing you to people who have some ideas on this most thorny problem – who can you help you develop great content, spread your message and gain visibility on the internet.&#160; </p>
<p><strong>Melissa Galt is the first</strong>.&#160; Come to a free conference call tomorrow (Tuesday Aug. 3 at 3pm EST) to find out more:</p>
<p><a href="http://wordpressacademy.biz/melissa">http://wordpressacademy.biz/melissa</a></p>
<p>Melissa is a mentor of mine, and according to Forbes one of the top 20 women entrepreneurs to follow.&#160; I have been extremely impressed by the quality of her programs, her hard-nosed let’s-get-real style of coaching, her passion for serving, and her authenticity.</p>
<p>For the first time ever, she has gathered her wisdom into a program that will fast-track you to success and happiness through your internet business.&#160; Here is what you will learn on this call:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rapidly identify and claim your REAL customer benefits (not what you think)</li>
<li>Get laser-focused on your ideal client and stop chasing a population</li>
<li>Easily create great content that attracts your perfect client/customer</li>
<li>Set up your roadmap for endless customer engagement to keep them hot and buying</li>
<li>Eliminate writer’s block (and how to get it written for pennies when you hate writing)</li>
<li>Harness internet power to repurpose your content multiple times automatically</li>
<li>And more…</li>
</ul>
<p>The call once again is tomorrow, Tuesday Aug. 3, at 3pm EST, but you must register for it first:</p>

<p>Hope to see you there!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwordpressacademy.biz%2F2010%2F06%2Fupcoming-wordpress-webinars%2F"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwordpressacademy.biz%2F2010%2F06%2Fupcoming-wordpress-webinars%2F" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p>The summer schedule is now set (and a very beautiful summer we are having here in Philadelphia – I wish you all the same).</p>
<ol>
<li>The free monthly call for July is on <strong><u>WordPress membership sites</u></strong> and will be this coming <strong><u>Tuesday July 6 at 7pm EST</u></strong>.&#160; There is no charge to attend, and I will publish the replay afterwards for 48 hours (but better to attend live and have all your questions answered!).&#160; See below for webconference information. </li>
<li>There will be a shorter (4 week) <strong><u>summer session of the WordPress 101 webinar</u></strong> starting <strong><u>Monday July 26</u></strong>.&#160; Complete schedule info (including two free intro calls) on our <a href="http://wordpressacademy.biz/#schedule">home page</a>. </li>
</ol>
<p><strong>The shorter summer program will be at a (very special) discounted price of <u>$250</u> (half the normal rate), since it’s only 4 sessions as compared to the usual 8, however, you can repeat the full 8-session webinar in September if you register for this one</strong> (and of course, you can access the videos at any time).&#160; </p>
<p>I struggle with the pricing issue and here is my thinking (if you will bear with me for a moment).&#160; I feel very passionately about training prospective entrepreneurs, self-employed people and world-changers to monetize their passion and spread their message; and I feel strongly that internet marketing information should not be only the property of the already-wealthy (which would be too sad), and also that it should be delivered in a simple, no-pressure, matter-of-fact way.&#160; So I want to keep your costs low, and remember also that my competitors charge between $800 and $1700 for 8-10 week WordPress webinars with content identical to mine (and even, perhaps, not as good ;).&#160; Even so, I need to raise the prices a bit to keep doing what I love, and so I want to eventually stabilize the price of the 8-week webinar around the $500-600 range.&#160; This is still close to $10 per training hour.</p>
<h3>But here is the good news.&#160; </h3>
<p>If you register for the short summer session at the discounted price, I will allow you (as I do for all webinar participants) to repeat the full course in September.&#160; You don’t even have to come&#160; to the July/August sessions. Just show up in September, if you want. </p>
<p>If you have any questions, simply reply to this email.&#160; And if you already know that you want to do this, why not <a href="http://wordpressacademy.biz/gold-member/">purchase the package right away</a>.&#160; There will never again be another opportunity to get in at this price.&#160; </p>
<p>And remember of course, our 100% money-back guarantee until the beginning of session #2.&#160; </p>
<h3>Webconference info for the WordPress Membership Sites free webinar</h3>
<p><strong>Date</strong>: Tuesday July 6 at 7pm EST.     <br /><strong>Web</strong>: <a href="http://wordpressacademy.biz/c">http://wordpressacademy.biz/c</a>     <br /><strong>Phone</strong>: 712-432-1601, Code 252959# (or else just listen on your speakers).</p>
<p>I will demonstrate building a membership site using the very powerful <a href="http://wordpressacademy.biz/wishlist">Wishlist Member</a> software, and also discuss design issues with membership sites in general.</p>
