MEET THE SQUAD

The Zip Squad is a group of 8 tech savvy ladies who have collaborated on a course that teaches

people how to use Zippy Courses. Joy, Michelle, Lauren, Laura, Marissa, Tracy, Faith & Sally (me)!

Zippy is a WordPress plug-in. It is a fully-secured membership site that you control.

I’m not here to convince you to buy Zippy Courses. I am not an affiliate, though I’d like to be.

If you have Zippy already or want to get it, it’s a very inexpensive option, has been created/sold by

Derek Halpern of Social Triggers, and I, personally, use it for my school to host my courses.

Zip Your Course is a collaborative course that teaches you how to use the software to your advantage

to create a great membership site.

TRUTH ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETINGYou must build your list with the RIGHT target market.

You must create a consistent branding style.

You need a website, but you can start with only landing pages & sales pages.

You must network and build relationships. They are the KEY to your success.

You can sell a product or service before it’s created.

Do not spam. You will get banned and a bad reputation.

You can operate on 1 or 2 social media channels. You do not have to be on all of them.

Advertising is great when you are ready for it. It works, but do not start there first.
