This new platform gives you several ways to invite customers to your workshop.  This flexibility allows you invite your customers in the easiest way for you.  It also gives you the flexibility to utilized social media to expand your potential audience and drive more people to your workshops.   This how to will go through several ways you can share your workshop events with others.  I am sure there are other ways that folks will share with me and I will update this page as that happens.  There are also a few social media platforms that I do not have or use so I will not be able to describe how to use those. If you utilize those platforms not documented please share with me the instructions and screenshots and I will be glad to add them into this how to.  

Now that we have established the foundation and you have already created your workshop event lets just into how to invite customers to your workshops

  1. Share the URL for your workshop.  Each workshop event in the system has a unique URL that can be copy shared out.  This will take your invitees to the page describing your workshop and allow them to register (once they have an account on the system).
  2. Invite Friend - Clicking this button allows you to send an invite to several people at the same time. 
    1. Click the Invite Friend button it will open a popup window
    2. In the first box on the right enter your invitees one per line
    3. In the second box enter each person from the first box email address again one per line
    4. Scroll down a bit and you can enter a message that you want sent out to each person
    5. Scroll down a little more and you can click the Invite button to send the invites to the people listed in the previous boxes
  3. Sharing via X Post - Click on the X Post button near the top right of your event and it will automatically open X (formally Twitter) in an new tab and fill in the X Post for your to share with your X Friends.  Once you are in X you can just click on the Post button and your post will go out
  4. LinkedIn - With linked in you can post it your page like an X Post or you can message individuals directly.
    1. Click on the LinkedIn icon under the description
    2. Your LinkedIn account will open in a new tab and a popup window will display allowing you to post your workshop
    3. For more control over the post you can click the dropdown next your your profile picture in the top left...this will change the popup
    4. Now you can restrict, focus or open up who can see your workshop event post.
    5. If you make changes click the Done button, if not click the Back button
    6. You will be taken back to the original LinkedIn popup window about your post.  When ready click the Post button in the bottom right of the popup.

These are the only 2 social media platforms I have, if anyone else would like to use or document the others please reach out and I can let you edit this page or you can make the instructions for me and I can post.  Get screenshots when you can please....I dont have screenshots here yet but we will add screenshots to all of the how to pages.

 

What about people on the waitlist?

When your event is full (the number of registrants reach the Capacity of the event), users can still register for that event. They will be stored as a registrant with Waiting List status and if someone cancels their registration to open a slot then anyone can register at that time. You will need to monitor your event to see if anyone unregisters for your event so others can register.  Once you have an open slot you will need to notify him/her to register for the event.

You can simply look at the waiting list (go to Workshop Events -> Manage Registrants, filter to get list of users in waiting list), select the person in the list, call them. If they still want to join the event, you if they want to attend still and then change the status from Waiting List to Paid
