Thanks Abbie! I'll have to take a look at it when I can get a breather!

Thank you... already working through it....

Thank you Abby, I bookmarked that loooong ago & never followed thru. Maybe this time :)

Seriously, it would REALLY be beneficial to Sean & sales if he shared search terms with us.

Thanks for sharing the link, Abbie. I think I will do it. The price is certainly right!

I'm in!

Thanks for posting. I've bookmarked it to check into later.

Thank you, Abbie! Getting started now...

Amazing resource! I see several classes I'm interested in. Thanks, Abbie!

Thanks Abbie!
I just registered and will get started this weekend.

James the trainee digital marketer

I hope this will be around for a while as it is something I could use but have no time for the next month or so.

My thought exactly, Val. Maybe after the 100 day challenge is finished? (Although I see James is putting us to shame by starting this weekend...) OK, maybe I'll find some time to start sooner. Thanks, Abbie!

On my way now, another Tab on my growing list

This is great, thanks Abbie!

Thank you for this, Abbie!

"Learn how to be found" - yup, stop playing hide and seek with your buyers.

I'm going through the course now, and I found a quote that is very relevant to the how long before I make a sale threads...

"The first thing to remember: don’t expect too much too soon. It can take a bit of time to set up your digital presence and get noticed online."

Thanks Abbie, I will definitely be taking advantage of this!

Can you please make this a Sticky, Abbie?

I can indeed but I'll have to lose one of the others. I try to keep it short up there

Thanks Abbie. Appreciate your sharing this information. I just enrolled.

Thank you for posting. Definitely will be checking this out when I can find some time to look at it further.

Thank you...

Being findable has been my mantra since I started here in 2012. But I never had anyone to show me, and I just discovered what works from being online since 1996. I will surely be investing time in looking this over.

Maybe I'm missing something but when I click on the "start here" link I can't bookmark anything (???).

Thanks Abbie! This looks like something I need!

thank you

Thanks for sharing, Abbie!

Thank you for sharing, Abbie!

Thanks for posting this!!

Thank you Abbie for the posting.....I send my best, Tim

 

Appreciate your sharing this Abbie. I know you're well versed in site protocols. Should this be a concern?

On reviewing registration, this message appears:

To continue, Google will share your name, email address, language preference and profile picture with *******. Before using this app, you can review ******* privacy policy and Terms of Service.

'Page not found', comes up repeatedly, on trying to access the page/ link as listed. I've blanked it out here as anyone registering can see that for themselves.

It does have an https prefix/secure site, just surprised I can't access the third party site.

Thanks so much Abbie. Will check it out.

Thank you Abbie.

Thank you Abbie!

Duly noted Abbie~Thank you for the share...

Thanks Abbie, this looks great! I definitely need to do this!

Thanks so much Abbie. Really appreciate you.

Thanks so much for this Abbie and for all you do! I will definitedly check into it as soon as I can...

That should be helpful. I have to say at my age it may take a while to finish.

Thank you, Abbie! Much appreciated. I will be checking it out.

Do you have an actually link to this "Fundamental of the digital marketing"? All I get is the generic presentation of their courses, posted on the bottom of your post. I hope I will find the actual course somehow..???

Thanks for sharing, Abbie :))

Thanks Abbie! I will be checking this out in my free time!

Thank You

Thanks Abbie. Will move to the front of my todo list of courses. I'm already involved in too many. Need more time management skills.

Abbie thank you so very much. I was wondering though on Carmen Hathaway's (thank you Carmen) comment, should this be of any concern to any of us?

Just tried to register with that site and they sent me a confirmation email which didn't work for me......tried it twice and button just didn't activate to confirm my email address....strange!

Thank you Abbie. :)

That's nothing to worry about. They share with AdSense etc and their other companies. They have to as it's all related.

Very cool! I can't wait to check it out! Thanks Abbie!!

 

Good to know — thanks Abbie.
 

You're very welcome, Vivian.

Thanks Abbie!

Thanks

Thank you very much Abbie.

You're definitely right, thank you for the link!

Thank you Abbie

Thank you so much, Abbie! Appreciate your sharing this!! Have opened it up and looking through the courses, there are many I am interested in. Bookmarked the pages.

Many thanks for sharing, Abbie!

WOW Thank you Abbie! What a great tool at our disposal.

Thank you Abbie, I need this!

Thanks Abbie! Just started it. Looks like it will be helpful.

Thank you for posting this!

Will look into this as I learned in Retail merchandising is everything.

Started at the weekend. It makes me think where am I going, what do I want, and make a to do list.

Here's a brief summary of the content - 26 modules, 40 hrs.

Modules (26)
Take a business online (4)
Make it easy for people to find a business on the web (5)
Reach more people locally, on social media or on mobile (7)
Reach more customers with advertising (4)
Track and measure web traffic (3)
Sell products or services online (2)
Take a business global (1)

thank you

Thanks Abbie!

Thank you this looks really good. Feeling a bit disillusioned on the back of no sales. Lots of great positive feedback on the work, but hoping to break through into actual sales....

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Abbie!

thanks for the info

just what I needed atm!

"Learn HOW to be found."

Well said Abbie! Thank you.

Thank you Abbie! Starting right now!

Thank you Abbie; I for one need this.
I try to leave keywords when I make comments on images. Do you think this helps them?

I'm curious why with all the promoting done thru FAA, RARELY when googling something like "Abstract Art" or "Watercolor Art" or any kind or wall art, does anything from FAA come up. FAA is almost non existent in random google searches unless one specifies FAA specifically.

Thank you so much for the info Abbie! I'll take a look when I get a chance!

great information

Will take a look, i have been searching the internet for this type of advice, i just found this article regarding similar⏬

https://oxforddigitalmarketing.co.uk/7-fundamentals-for-digital-marketing-success/

Thanks Abbie, will definitely take a look

Dear Abby

Thank you for all your informative emails and assistance.

Could you, or someone out there, perhaps assist with which settings are best to use on the Samsung S21+ cell phone, as I am getting " incorrect format" error messages when trying to upload my photos.

Many thanks
Loraine Yaffe

Lorraine go into your camera settings on your phone and check format The new phones save photos in HEIF ( or HEIC on iPhones) which are not recognised. Turn it off so it saves them as jpg files.

You can Google this to get more information about the new formats.

You would need to open your existing HEIF FILES in a photo editer to save them as jpg files.

Hi Abbie, that looks like one of the best ones, thanks for highlighting

Thank you Abbie! I just began the course last night. :-)

I'm a bit more than halfway through the course. Thank you again, Abbie!

Thanks--will check it out.

Absolutely awesome advice!

Danke für das tolle Angebot Abbie.

I'm a little over half way through the course so far. The early information was quite helpful and I've re-written many of my 'about' sections on my various POD sites to make them simple yet relevant. The courses about local and mobile marketing aren't as useful to me because I don't have a brick and mortar shop nor have I had time to figure out a website design of my own. But the knowledge might be useful someday. I only have time to do an hour or so a week so it is going to take me a while to finish.

Thank you for this information. I am going to look into the course...definitely need it!

What's all this about..."OF COURSE WE SHOULD TAKE ALL"........That's not very nice..........It's being Very Selfish...................

.................................................................Oh!,...it's: "A course we should all take".............................Never mind...........
(RIP Gilda)

Thank you very much, Abbie, for sharing all of this information with us. I will bookmark this!! How to be found is one I’m really interested in.

Great, Thank you very much, Abbie! I'm interested in it.

Thanks for the reminder, Floyd

Thank you Abbie, I will check it out

I hope it is okay to share a link to a site that has specific advice for artists? She has a lot of free articles that are very helpful and she also has paid courses but you can get a lot of good information from there without spending a dime. One of my go to sites.

Am on it already, Thank You Abbie. A must!

Thank you so much, Abbie. I love your bluntness!! LOL

I am excited to read.

I'm in! Thanks Abbie!

Wow, three years ago.
Seems like this would be a great time for an update from all who said they were taking the course or were going to take it.

Love to read what they found best about the course and how they used it.
You know likes and dislikes etc.
Any body?

Hi Bill, went through the course, three years later, I get more visits from google search than from social media. Of course I put in a lot of work, not just on the google part, but this was a good starting point. Getting on google maps led directly to local visibility, invitations to events. I think you find the bits that fit your profile, all of the course did not apply to me.

Views, way up, sales, moving along.

@James. Thanks for responding.
So you attribute an increase in SALES to this course?
That’s great!
Before”moving along”… anyone else see an increase in sales like James did?
