Workshop #2–Powerful Strategies to Monetize Your Blog with the Amazon Affiliate Program. Amazon is the biggest online retailer in the country and one that most blog readers trust and turn to. Why not get a commission from the purchases your readers are already making? Find out how you can make over $1000 per month by using Amazon Affiliates, even if you have a small blog (under 10K pageviews). Yes, you read that right – making money through affiliates doesn’t require you to have a massive following. It’s all about crafting the right post, placing the links strategically and sharing with your readers products they need and want. This workshop is great for you if you’re starting a blog or if you’ve been blogging for a while without making more than a few bucks from Amazon.
Workshop #3–Making Love to the Camera: The Tools To Becoming Comfortable In Front Of The Lens. Lights. Camera…. Action… Except how many of you FREEZE instead of actually GOING FOR IT? Well, you’re 100% not alone, if you do in fact freeze, as being in front of the camera can be one of the most intimidating places on earth. Well, GiGi is going to help you “make love to the camera” or in other words, make you feel as comfortable as possible, by sharing tips from types of cameras to use, to lighting tricks, to coming up with topics to discuss on camera (honing your brand), to what to do with the footage when you’re done rolling. GiGi wants to empower and remind all of you that you have important things to say, thus getting in front of the camera so as to tell all those who find your uploaded videos, is paramount! By the end of this presentation, you will be ready for ACTION!
