I have had a small business for 12+ years, in fact, I have run small businesses in vintage goods, handmade jewelry, craft events, business workshops, and business consulting. I have 25+ years of work experience in food service, marketing, non-profit work, environmental policy, urban planning, writing, and much more! I have worked with young folks on business topics for around 5 years, and have taught adult business workshops for the same amount of time. I have taught social media marketing and other business topics to thousands of learners.
Highly recommend: Pen/pencil and paper for jotting down notes and questions. Optional: You can (optionally) prep for this class by preparing some notes on your business or entrepreneurial idea, as well as questions. You can either bring questions to class, submit them directly to the teacher while on Zoom, or send the questions in advance (they will be asked anonymously.) If you do send questions in advance, please send them no later than 30 min prior to class start! Thank you.
We may discuss utilizing social media to promote your business, as well as more traditional methods of marketing like talking to friends or having a website. All of these are discussed with the preface that they need parental supervision and encourage parental involvement/monitoring for safety. If you have any questions about this, please reach out!
