Do you think it would help people to become more familiar with retrieving, editing and forwarding newsletters? Maybe a separate one for iContact help? I'm looking at these services that are free conference call (it would be a long distance call for the caller, but so many people have free long distance these days, it's probably not prohibitive), and then a nominal charge to have a webinar where you can view what I am doing on my computer screen. Would be a visual "walk-me-through-this" kind of thing... I was thinking maybe of setting these up maybe once a month or every other month....ETA - the "nominal charge" for the webinar would be something that I pay - I think you, as a participant, just need internet access... I hope it doesn't sound like you would need to pay for this.... you wouldn't.

I think that's a great idea, Joy!
 
Would you be willing to do it on the weekends or after 9, when we have free long distance on our cel phones?

I don't do icontact, maybe that would be better for a separate newsletter.

This newsletter is like a full time job after hours for me, so I am pretty dedicated to it in the evenings and weekends. Thankfully, I have a family that is pretty understanding! I am thinking of doing maybe like a monthly "basics" of email newsletter thing...I will vary it - like evening one month and weekend another month. If I have alot of need, I don't mind doing it more than once a month to get everything going. I am on the West coast so it's really not too late for me to do late evenings :)
 
Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I think offering a conference call or webinar would be a great idea to help people become more familiar with retrieving, editing, and forwarding newsletters. It's always helpful to have a visual "walk-me-through-this" kind of thing, especially for those who may not be as tech-savvy. I also like the idea of having a separate one for iContact help, as it can be a bit confusing for some. I think using a free conference call service and then charging a nominal fee for the webinar is a great way to make it accessible for everyone. And thank you for clarifying that the charge would be something you pay, not the participants. That definitely makes it more appealing. I would definitely be interested in attending these sessions once a month or every other month. I think it would be a great opportunity for us to learn from each other and improve our skills. Thank you for considering this idea!
