Is this course for you?

Content Brew is for any level of blogger who wants to wants to nail down the process of using a content calendar AND learn techniques to come up with loads of ideas for blog posts, Facebook posts and tweets.

The best part about this course is that it’s not just reading, video-watching and downloading pretty handouts. You’ll be DOING stuff. Planning content, learning techniques and getting loads of handouts that you’ll reference long after the course is over.

What You’ll Get

During the course, you’ll receive lots of goodies:

• 2013 content calendar template (spreadsheet format)
• Daily written lessons, with each day having a video, handout or both
• A total of six handouts which won’t be a regurgitation of the lessons but rather idea guides that’ll give you an endless flow of ideas (ex. 30 Fill in the Blank blog post ideas with examples for each one)
• Interaction and feedback from me and other students in a private Facebook group
• Two live chats in a private chat room
• Interaction on Twitter with the #contentbrew hashtag

How it works

I KNOW it’s tough to be online at a certain time, which is why this course doesn’t require it. Each day you’ll get an email from Melissa with an intro to that day’s lesson and a link to a password-protected page. Read the class lesson, watch any video and grab any handouts for the day. Each day has a homework assignment so you’ll actually accomplish something in this class too rather than just add to your to-do list. And of course, we’ll have loads of interaction through the private group, two live chats and Twitter.

If you get behind for any reason, no worries. You’ll be able to access the course for at least a year. I’ll keep each Facebook group open for three months and I’ll stay active in the group until the next class starts. So don’t worry about signing up and then life getting in the way. You have plenty of time!

You’ll get seven days of class, a bonus lesson, content calendar template, six handouts, multiple videos, interaction and feedback from me and others and a process you’ll use over and over!
