Course: Use Social Media to Make Your Own Luck
This course in now progress. Want a heads up the next time we run it?
Are you on Twitter and Facebook with the hopes of broadening your network — but aren’t exactly sure how to do it?
Do you have big goals for 2012? Or maybe you’re looking to grow your blog’s readership?
Do you want to spend LESS time on social media and still use it effectively?
If you want to learn how to make social media work for you, you’re in the right place. This course is for you.
I talk a lot on this blog about the importance of making your own luck, but this is the first time I’m teaching you how to actually do it.
You could use that luck to change careers, publish a book, start a business, take a career break or take any other life Leap you’ve been waiting on. Before you know it, opportunities will find you.
Imagine understanding how to navigate Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn so opportunities fall into your lap. Think what it would be like to finally sign with a literary agent or transition into your dream career or connect with clients for your business, all thanks to your smart use of online tools.
What You’ll Learn
- How to get important people to notice you online
- Strategies for building your network strategically rather than haphazardly
- Practical tips to get the most out of your time on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn
- The best features on each of those networks that you don’t know about already
How it works: Every weekday for a month, an email will land in your inbox with one action item, a tip you should follow that day to grow your network. Yes, that means you’ll receive a total of 20 practical tips in your inbox. Once you start implementing these tips, you’ll be amazed how your network begins to work for you. (This is often participants’ favorite part of the course: that it arrives daily in digestible chunks.)
Plus: I’ll be available via email to answer any questions about those tips as they arise. You’ll get a personal social media coach – without the high price tag.
Course dates: May 7-June 1
Price: $99
This course is for you if…
- You know you should be using social media to work toward your goals, but you don’t know how
- Your blog community isn’t growing as fast as you’d like
- You’ve heard about the power of Twitter, but you’re not making the right connections
- You’ve tried other social media tactics before, but nothing has worked like you’d hoped
This is a high-level beginner course. It’s NOT for total social media newbies; I’m not going to go over what RT means or how to provide value on your networks, because you can learn that elsewhere. (It’s also not for advanced users who eat and breathe social media.) I expect you to already be on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, and to be getting started using those networks.
You’ll learn practical tips for all three of those networks, but the course is Twitter-heavy, since that’s the best way to connect with people you don’t already know.
And guess what else? This is a no-risk course. I’m offering a money-back guarantee, which means if you’re not happy with it for any reason, I’ll give you a refund. You’ve got nothing to lose — and everything to gain.
All for just $99.

“The ways you presented information was clear and helped give me the confidence to take one step at a time toward building up my online presence… You respond pretty much immediately to any of my questions. In this often unresponsive Internet/online world, I find that’s rare.”

“Lexi showed me how to make social media work for me, so that my ideas stand out in the haze of online communications. She taught me how to write tweets to maximize the potential for retweets by others and establish a HootSuite account to use my tweeting time effectively — in addition to basic user tools and tricks.”
