Ending the Year on a High Note
Ready?
Are you still clinging to summer ???? or are you on the pumpkin spice bandwagon? (confession: I’m one of those nutty pumpkin spice people… I love all things pumpkin and have had pumpkin candles in my house since late August ????).
Regardless of whether you want more summer or are ready for fall, one thing is undeniable… we’re close to the 4th quarter and the final 3 months of this oh-so-bizarre year.
Jodi and I have started mapping and planning our content and marketing for the next few months and honestly? It feels a bit like we have a lot to do now that we’re almost halfway through September.
In my desire to adopt an essentialist approach (thank you Jodi), I’ve broken down 4 primary areas with a few general tips to make the most of the fourth quarter:
- A Content plan
- Black Friday Cyber Monday
- Advertising
- Email Marketing
Mapping these things out has helped me craft a plan for how best to use my time going into the 4th quarter.

Creativity loves company! Tools that we use and love
Hyax
I just found this yesterday. It’s so new it’s not even available yet. From the creators of Vyper.io (giveaway software) comes a super clean, easy to use platform for selling courses, digital products, memberships & more. Get on the beta list here.
Vyper.io
Speaking of Vyper.io, this is the tool we used to launch the Content Creators Planner with a giveaway! It was our first promotion for the planner and it was smooth, fun, and super easy to set up!
Speaking of Online Education…would this interest you?
In addition to version 2 of the Content Creators Planner (coming in early 2021), we’re looking at a second product that we think will also be a game-changer for you and make your life much easier when it comes to sharing your knowledge and expertise with the world.
Ready for this?
Drumroll, please…
The Course Creators Planner
A planner that guides you from start to finish on planning, mapping out, creating, marketing, and selling your online course.
We’re at the very beginning stages of this but see this as a huge opportunity in the marketplace to serve people who want to create online courses but aren’t ready to invest in a “course on courses” with a high price tag (no judgment, but that can be a bit overwhelming).
Let us know if this is something that interests you (and what would be most helpful to include in a Course Creators Planner).
