TESTIMONIALS

What advisors say about me as a teacher of blog post writing

“The class is great! I’m really getting a huge amount of value—there really is a process to writing.”

“In her financial blogging class, Susan puts you through your paces as you learn new techniques and the joys of rigorous editing. This course helps you learn focus and discipline in writing blogs.”

“Loving the blog writing class I am taking with @susanweiner #FF”

“Writing has never been a strong suit of mine. However, I now feel that I have the foundation to incorporate blogging into my regular client interaction.”

“Susan’s coaching is a classic case of ‘under-promise, over-deliver.’ I highly recommend her as a writing coach or teacher. Her coaching has improved the quality of writing in my blog posts. My writing skills were very rusty when we started. Susan’s practical, insightful suggestions—along with her Blog Post Preparation Worksheet—have been an incredibly valuable resource.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. I’ve already bought your book. How can I use this class to complement it?
A. It’s not easy to discipline yourself to work through a book. This class walks you through the key steps to blogging. It also gives you access to me (in the Premium and Executive versions of the class) and to materials that aren’t available in the book.

Q. What if I’ll be on vacation or busy during one of the weeks following my enrollment?
A. You can work through the lessons at your own pace. The materials will remain available to you for at least three months following your enrollment.

Q. Would I benefit from this class even if I’m not a financial advisor?
A. Yes. However, the examples in the class are tailored to people marketing financial and other services to individuals, institutions, and similar prospects. Aside from financial advisors, marketers and vendors to investment and wealth managers are likely to find this class helpful.

Q. I don’t blog, but I write articles. Can this class help me?
A. Yes. The process applies to written materials of any length and format. One person told me, “It’s so much easier to write my quarterly commentary now that I follow the process in your book.” However, examples are tailored to the demands of blog posts.

Q. I’d like to ask you some marketing questions that aren’t directly related to writing blog posts. Can I do that in this class?
A. When you sign up for the Executive level of the class, you can ask anything you like during your weekly coaching call. If you have many non-blogging questions, you may prefer to sign up for an individual coaching session with me.
