I am in the process of creating a brand new embroidery video training site.  If you are or have been a student of mine in the past, you are familiar with my current site EmbroideryTipsAndMore.com.

Within a few weeks I will have the brand new site up with more information on it than the old site.  I am very excited about this new site.  It is going to be very clean and easy to find any of the information that you need at the time that you need it. 

It is also going to be able to be viewed in Firefox and on  MAC computers as well as Internet Explorer!  This has really been a huge issue in the past because my current site can only be viewed in Internet Explorer!

All of the current students will be grandfathered over into the new system at the current prices.  Anyone that joins our program between now and the new release date will be able to get in at the current price and will be able to stay at that price level.  I have an entirely new membership system and there are going to be more levels of membership in the new system. 

I do not have an exact release date at this time, but I will keep you posted.

New Features For Embroidery Tips And More Video Training Site

I am so happy to announce that we are adding some exciting new features for all of the members of our Embroidery Tips And More Embroidery video training site.

• Personal Call In Time Once Per Month
• Personal 15 Minute Consultation For All New Members
• Private Members Forum
• Webinar Will Be Held During The Day Time Hours Every Other Month

Call In Time-Personal One on One Time With The Embroidery Coach

This new feature will start on January 21st.  This call in time will be held the 3rd Thursday of every month.  This will be your personal one on one time that you can call in and ask me anything that you would like to know about running your embroidery business.   I am very excited about being able to spend time with you personally.

I would love to be able to work with each person  on a one on one basis,  and I thought that this will be the  best way for me to be able to connect with you and give you your own personal time with me. You will be allowed 10 minutes for this call. Save up your questions and be ready for this one on one time with me.  All members will receive an email with the actual call in times and phone number to use.

Personal FREE Embroidery Business Consultation For All New Members

Each new member will be called and welcomed.  You will receive a 15 minute consultation about your embroidery business.  This will give me a chance to find out a little more about you, your business and will help me to discover how I can help you more with your embroidery business.  Each new member will be sent an email to schedule their Free consultation.

Private Embroidery Tips And More Club Members Forum

We are working on a Private Members forum.  This will only be available to all of the Embroidery Tips and More.com Embroidery Club members.  This forum will be open to any questions about embroidery applications, design issues,  or any other embroidery business issues.  I will be announcing when the Forum is open.

New Day Time Embroidery Webinar Hours

I have heard from many of you that  you cannot attend the Embroidery webinars because they are held in the evening.  I have decided to rotate the times for the webinars so that you will be able to attend during day if the night times for the webinars have been impossible to work with your schedule.  Traditionally our webinars have been held at 8pm Eastern Time and this is not always the best time for everyone.

When I first started holding the Embroidery webinars, I asked for the best times and this time worked for the majority of the club members.  Times have changed and I have decided to rotate the times for the webinars to best suit everyone.   The webinar this month will be held at the same time, at 8pm on the last Tuesday of the month,  but next month I would like to start the rotation schedule.

The recorded version of the Embroidery webinars has been available for all of those that register, but the live interaction is always better for the attendees.  I will continue holding the webinar on the last Tuesday of the month, but I would like to have some opinions as to which times of the day works best for you.  At the end of this post, I would like for you to comment and let me know which times will work for you.

• 11:00 am Eastern Time
• 1:00 pm Eastern Time
• 2:00 pm Eastern Time
• 4:00 pm Eastern Time

I would like to accommodate everyone, but obviously that is impossible.  If you will please let me know which time is best for you, then I will schedule the day time webinar for the majority.

Thank you so much and I am really looking forward to working with each and everyone of my Embroidery Tips and More Embroidery Club Members in 2010!  This is going to be such a great year!!

Setting Up Your Marketing System

In Lesson 2 of our “How To Create Your Own Embroidery Marketing System On-Line“, we are going to be going through  and setting up the back end of your Marketing System so that it will be search engine optimized from the very first blog post.  Next Tuesday night July 28th, at 8pm is Lesson 2 in this series.  If you missed the first lesson, you can sign up for the next lesson and get caught up.  Videos of the first Lesson will be sent to you.

Having a website and marketing system is just as important to a home based embroidery business as it is to a large corporate embroidery business.  You need to be able to stay in front of your customers at all times and make it easy for them to find you and purchase from you.  I have created an entire system that will walk you through step by step as to how to create an entire marketing system from choosing your domain name to filling up your shopping cart.

This is not a marketing system that is available any place else, especially for the price that I am charging.  After our series of webinars, I will be creating an entire home study course on  DVD’s with workbooks and it will not be sold at this rediculously low price!

I am making this available to all my Embroidery Tips Club Members for free because I want everyone of my students to succeed.  It is extremely important to me to be able to help all of my students  to succeed to whatever level they aspire to!

How To Create Your First Blog Post

During Lesson 2 I will also teach you how to create your first blog post.  Creating your blog posts is an easy way of keeping in constant contact with your customers.

Step by Step Embroidery Marketing Course

This step by step course is divided into one hour sessions held every 2 weeks for the next several weeks.  This course does have homework with it, but at the end of the course, you should have your fully functioning website on-line and fully optimized for the search engines.

Monday I will be sending out a link to all of the Embroidery Tips Club Members to register for the webinar.   Last month I sent out a link to all of the members to the videos after the webinar.  I will not be doing that this month.  In order to be able to view the videos after the course, you must register for the webinar.

If you are not a member of the Embroidery Tipsandmore.com Embroidery Club you must go to The Embroidery Webinar of the Month website and sign up for the program.

If you have a website that is NOT bringing you lots of sales each month, or DO NOT have a website at all, you need to be apart of this webinar series.

This past weekend, I had the the priviledge of participating in a conference on Learning How To Market Your Business.  This conference was called IM Success Workshop and was held in a beautiful Bed and Breakfast setting, The Wayside Inn in Ellicott City, Maryland.  I picked up many good tips, met some fantastic people and had the priviledge of meeting my business coach in person. 

My business coach, Bob Jenkins was the Host and presenter of the conference and a wonderful teacher.  I have been working with Bob, The Teacher, for the past several months and have learned a lot from him.  He is very young, but really knows how to teach and how to market a business.  

Each month I hold an Embroidery Webinar on a specific topic and in January I am going to be starting a series of Embroidery Webinars on How To Market Your Business and I am very excited that I have some new information to share with my students.  Marketing your Business really is not hard, but you must pay attention to detail and be consistant with your efforts.  I will be teaching the Basics of Marking your Business in January and in February we will be going into some specific methods.

Next Tuesday night, August 26th I will be holding a webinar teaching you all about using Underlay Stitching in your embroidery designs.  Anyone that is into embroidery whether it is an embroiderer with a home business, or a large commerical business should attend this webinar.

This week’s embroidery tip is all about quoting a design for your customer while they wait! I wanted to repeat it on my blog because I feel that this is very important!

Do you ever have a customer that brings in designs that they want you to reproduce? Of course you do. Do they want a price while they wait? Sure they do. Have you ever wondered how to quote a price without having to go to your digitizer to find out how many stitches there would be in that design?

I have come up with a system that….
