Event description

Hands-On by Popular Demand! Learn by doing.

Creating competitive flyers online is a free, effective means to market your business, services, or items online using an internet browser from anywhere. This workshop will take place in a computer lab, where you will learn step-by-step to create ads and flyers on your own, that you can save, print, and publish on the Web.

Where: http://www.highline.edu/home/maps/maincampus_map.pdf Highline Community College 23835 Pacific Highway South, Building 99 (Room 251) Des Moines, Washington 98198

Visitor parking is available in the East Parking Lot (see map link above) adjacent to the workshop location in Building 99 (Room 251).

In this workshop you'll work closely with other Bizniks and get to know your nieghbor while sharing about your business.

No equipment is necessary as this state-of-the art computer lab will serve as an instructional environment where you can point, click, drag, and drop along with the instructor to get started with do-it-yourself free online ad and flyer creation. If you wish to use your own computer, connectivity is available.

OPTIONAL: You may wish to bring images (your logo, profile pic, etc.) on a flash drive, or put them in a private or public Picasa or Flickr album for easy access. We will demonstrate this process as well, so no materials are required whatsoever.

The primary focus will be on using free marketing tools on the web like Craigslist, for example. You'll also get a preview of free online website building and management.

The instructor will be Adam Odnert, Director of Marketing GoGoPin - Bringing More Customers to Your Business

Great! I'm grateful you're hosting another event and that there are computers available to use since the GoGoPin isn't compatible with my Mac operating system. I've been wanting to try this out! Thanks Adam. Is there anyone interested in carpooling to Highline - from Queen Anne, Fremont, Ballard area?

Thanks, always interested in learning.

I'm coming from North of Seattle (Mill Creek), so can pick anyone up along the way (I msged Nancy, but have a van so can take up to 5).

This looks like a great workshop. I hope that you are able to offer this again, perhaps at another location in the Northend.
Posted by Michelle Coffey, Everett, Washington | Jul 20, 2009

Yes please let me know if any spots open up sounds like a great class and I too would love to see one in the Northend!
Posted by Katie Beck, Seattle, Washington | Jul 20, 2009

Hi Adam!

Your workshop's full, and I will be out of town when it's happening. Can I add my vote to the list of folks that want you to "Pleeease!" offer the course again?

Thanks! Loved what I saw in the first workshop and would really also love some hands-on help.

Have a great session!

If it's not too much to ask, I'd like to come even though your group is 'full'. Please let me know if that would e ok.
Posted by Adam Odnert, Lynnwood, Washington | Jul 20, 2009

Hi - Thanks for the messages! There is WiFi at the venue, so if you have a notebook I recommend coming on a walk-in basis.

There will be other events on the North End - but I don't have a specific date as of now.

Looking forward to it - and I welcome any questions.

Sincerely, Adam
Posted by Carly Garreffa, Seattle, Washington | Jul 20, 2009

I was just curious if you have room for 2 more people? I have my own notebook.

If not hope to be at the next one!

Thank you! Carly G
Posted by Robbie Burns, Orting, Washington | Jul 20, 2009

Hi Adam--I would LOVE to come to another seminar on this topic. I'm in Orting, so coming to the north end during the week through traffic isn't a viable option. I can get to Highline. Please consider doing this one again soon! Thanks Robbie Burns, The Wild Rose Quilt Shop & Retreat Orting
Posted by Sarah Donnelly, Seattle, Washington | Jul 20, 2009

Please offer this again! I cannot make it this week, but I would if I could. Thanks!

Hi Adam, Just realized I won't be able to make it afterall. Meeting with client (from out of town) tonight. I hope you do this again.
Posted by David Berkey, Edmonds, Washington | Jul 23, 2009

I agree, Adam. Again, sorry for the late bow-out. dberkeyGroup
Posted by Adam Odnert, Lynnwood, Washington | Jul 23, 2009

Thanks for messages - There have been some last minute cancellations, so if you'd like to be on the RSVP list - keep checking. Thank you for opening up the seats if you cannot attend. Business first by all means!
Posted by Marlene Rockey, Seattle, Washington | Jul 23, 2009

Adam, I apologize for such a late cancellation but I am unable to come tonight. I hope another lucky person can take my place. ~Marlene
Posted by Adam Odnert, Lynnwood, Washington | Jul 23, 2009

Thank you Marlene

See you all soon - if you are not able to come, by all means please un-RSVP. Don't mention it - things come up!
Posted by Angelo Ongpin, Seattle, Washington | Jul 24, 2009

I hope you have another event soon, I had to reschedule for a previous engagement.
Posted by Chris S, CRPC, Kirkland, Washington | Jul 24, 2009

Adam is very generous to do this. Take him up on it; he knows his stuff.
Posted by Steve Powell, Seattle, Washington | Jul 24, 2009

WONDERFUL night of learning, Adam. Thank you. I'm excited about making flyers and posting them around the internet. This gives us marvelous flexibility and a useful outlet for creativity to attract new clients.
Posted by Adam Odnert, Lynnwood, Washington | Jul 24, 2009

Thank all of you for the comments. Ben was a great help to a smooth event. You all energized me - we're in the same boat, and I wish great things for small businesses.
Posted by Steve Powell, Seattle, Washington | Jul 24, 2009

Here is the best compliment about the evening: I've been creating flyers for the past 2 hours and posting them around the internet! Search "gogopin" in Craigslist under "All Services Offered". Feel free to call my office and mention the flyer and ask some questions about the tours. lol
Posted by Adam Odnert, Lynnwood, Washington | Jul 24, 2009

Way to get to it! Adam

Adam!! and Ben!! Truly fun and invaluable workshop. It's so easy even I can do this. And it looks sharp!! What an amazing tool. This'll save me time, expense AND it's so satisfying to be able to produce something that looks hip. Thank you both!
Posted by Larry Leonard, Kent, Washington | Jul 24, 2009

Adam & Ben,

Thank you so much for putting on this workshop. It was very cool to see what your website is capable of. I know that the tools will help me create better, more effective flyers for my Our Town new mover welcom marketing business. Great job,

Larry Leonard, Our Town of Washington

You had me at Go... GoGoPin! This is sure to be the site everyone uses to create professional flyers!

I learned so much and had fun moving pics around, sizing them, playing with text I almost felt omnipotent!

Thanks Adam and Ben for your creative minds and supportive spirit. Don't forget us Biznik folks when you're rich and famous!
