It’s the First #FF Launch Roundup!

Wow, I’m so impressed with all the awesome products and services being launched by #customerlove challengers this week! So without further ado, let the launching begin!

This just in! Adorable web designer and brand specialist Rachael Acklin (@caffeinatedelf) is launching a new service:

Hello my darlings!

I have launched a Thing, which was not the Thing I was thinking about launching, but sometimes that happens, yes?

Anyway! It is a kickass consulting-coaching-strategy-implementation session that takes four weeks from start to finish. And it is AWESOME.

Twitter-sized description: It’s four weeks of consulting, planning, strategizing, implementing, and follow-up. It’s you and me, harmonizing your brand.

Next is the astonishing Vas Littlecrow, a Customer Love Machine graduate and artist who keeps coming up with bigger and better ideas:

Next is another amazing Customer Love Machine grad, Phyllis Nichols:

I love the Launch Tweetchat – so much fun and such great things happening. Congrats to everyone who launched or is getting ready to.

I’m doing a pre-launch launch – and offering some sales help to anyone. You can read about the details here. Can’t wait to check out all the other goodies!

Email list / Free For All

And here’s self-publishing guru (and Customer Love Machine graduate) Susan Daffron:

As of now, I am “The Book Consultant!”

My main company web site, Logical Expressions, showcases all our “media properties.” (Doesn’t that sound official??)

Yes it does, Susan!

Idea Stylist Lisa Valuyskaya is a designer (also a CLM grad) on a mission:

Kick-ass ebooks deserve kick-ass design. Not just some pretty graphics and colors, not a one-size-fits-all template. Design that becomes one with content, that gives it flow, magic, sparkle. But don’t take my word for it. Go see the examples, right here.

And then tell me YOUR ebook doesn’t deserve a makeover like that.

Also – I ‘m running a contest for a free design! (Up to 20 pages)

And here’s the awesome Amy Harrison (aka @littleunred):

How To Get Your Sales Page DONE! Introductory rate extended for all “customer love-rs”…

Hello Customer Love lovelies, I’ve been reading all the blog posts and it’s been a real boost for me having my own launch last week, I thought it might fit in with what a few of you are doing, and even though the introductory rate has increased, until March 7th, anyone using the discount code: TUNIC gets the eBook at the original price of $47.

Have a cheeky look and see if you think it could help you get your offer out there to people who need to hear about what you do!

Sandi Favielle Amorim (@devacoach) wants you to make her an offer:

It’s the “Make-Me-An-Offer” Offer!

In the offer that inspired me, Naomi Dunford said, “Too many people think about what they can’t do, and they waste a lot of time in the process. I figure, let’s try to see what we can do for awhile. Let’s see what happens.”

So I decided to take her idea and run with it! I am interested in more people doing what they love and launching their gifts into the world! That’s why we’re here and that’s why I’m running a special for the month of March. Until the next Customer Love Challenge begins April 1, I’d love to give you the support you need.

So, take a deep breath. Remember what you’re here for. Go make me an offer.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Christy Smith (@thinkblotcom – another fabulous CLM graduate) offers Customer Puzzle Consulting:

I have revamped my consulting program with a new name and a new focus. I’m calling it “Puzzle Consulting” and it’s meant to help small business owners (or anyone who has regular customer contact) who are struggling with working with their customers. Those relationships create little puzzles everywhere that we have to figure out how to solve, and sometimes it is helpful just to have an experienced ear to talk through an action plan.

I’m also offering a steep discount for anyone who picks it up in March. 🙂

If you’re a writer, or want to be, and you live in Brooklyn, NY, you’ll want to check out Amna Ahmad’s Hybrid Writer’s Circle:

This in-person workshop is a safe space where you can sharpen your craft, and make huge leaps and progresses on a project you’ve been working on forever. It is also a place where you can explore and play with the written word, even if you don’t consider yourself a writer or have never been in a writing group.

Hybrid Writer’s Circle

Wickedly Whimsical Michelle Nickolaisen has something up her sleeve:

Take Back Your Creativity! launches on the 20th. It’s an ebook + workbook + audio kit (with 128 minutes of awesome interviews with creative gurus) that’s designed to help you integrate your creative life & your daily life, increase your creative output, and avoid + get past burnout & creative blocks. You can see more information about it here – AND! the very first teaser excerpt went up today with a sampler from the ebook. The next two Fridays will have samplers of one of the interview’s audio/transcript, and an exercise from the workbook.

Ainslie Hunter teaches people, not topics:

If you are thinking of creating an ecourse then email is a great place to start. It is a low tech solution that allows you to connect to your students in their inboxes.

Email Courses That Matter is a 7 week email course where you will learn:
– The tools needed to create an email course
– How to plan a course that has maximum learning opportunities
– Key strategies to get your students engaged with the content and applying it in their situation
– Examples of how to encourage engagement and interaction
– How to put all the pieces together on your blog so it is ready to launch
– What to do once the course has begun and you are in teacher mode

The course costs $47 and starts on March 20.

And don’t forget artist and purveyor of mad obsessive projects, Kirsty Hall (@kirstymhall):

The Adopt-A-Jar programme launched today. Become a patron of the arts – adopt a jar!

If you don’t live close enough to find a jar, now you can be a part of the project by sponsoring one.

Here are the details of Kirsty’s 365 Jars Project.
