Why a Mac is really the only option. Can your PC do this?

Watch for at least 30 seconds (oh, and you don't need to understand French to appreciate.)

Use skype on your iPod Touch!

Sounds like an interesting option. Anyone doing this or tried it?

Anyone interested in Hands-On workshops?

I would like your feedback ...

I'm wanting to offer hands-on events to groups of about 10 small business owners ... (I will offer these as often as needed, but want to keep the groups small so those attending can walk away with a project close to completion).

The first one will be to help you get started with email marketing campaigns using Constant Contact's FREE 60-day trial. You will actually be setting up the template and starting your first eNews or promotional announcement. I'm thinking this will be a 3 part series:

1- Overview ... what it is and why you need it. For those interested in moving on to Part 2, I will sign you up for a FREE 60-day trial account (advantage of signing up through me will be discussed at this event)

2- Hands-On ... getting starting and working your way around setting up your campaign and template

3 - Beyond the basics ... importing addresses, setting up your sign up pages, button, and links. Customization via html (this depends on getting my web person involved). Also backing up the campaign via other means/media

I'm assuming you will bring your laptop or take good notes :-)

The other event would be to help Mac (Apple, Inc) users take advantage of iWeb and the rest of the iLife suite to boost your business visibility. This one will also be Hands-On so you can walk away from this event with a website up and - in most cases - running!

This could also develop into a series covering the other apps in the iLife suite, which I'm thinking we may charge a nominal fee for - probably about $10-15/per person

For those of you on a PC and interested in learning about these apps that come with each Mac (you do know you can run OSX, Unix, and Windows on the Intel-based Macs), let me know and we will try to arrange something for you as well.

Would you be interested? What days, times, and locations?

I'm currently looking in to space options, so any/all feedback is welcome as we'd like to get this up and running as quickly as possible if there is sufficient interest.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
