The Inaugural CFG
Marketing Challenge
Is Now Open for Registration
I participated in Marketing Challenges as a member of PWAC when I first joined and a few years ago began moderating a bi-monthly challenge via email. Last year, Tracey Arial offered to moderate the challenge via Slack for those who didn’t want the email clutter. We are excited to bring this tradition to CFG.
To participate:
You can participate two ways – via a members-only online forum on the CFG website or Slack – or if you’re like me and don’t want to miss anything, you can participate in both.
Check the email from yesterday for the link to register and hit “subscribe to topic” button to get updates of new posts. If you want to participate via Slack, let me know and I’ll have Tracey invite you to the group there.
How the challenge works:
Challenges last for two weeks. At the beginning of the challenge, participants share their goals for the challenge and keep track of all their marketing initiatives during the two weeks. This could include sending query letters, preparing book proposals, attending networking events, updating your website or marketing material, sending letters of introduction to potential clients, taking advantage of professional development to improve your business...anything that moves them toward getting new work counts.
We check in at the one week mark to provide an update on how things are going and at the end of the challenge, share how we did. During the challenge, and in between challenges, we also share marketing tips, ask and answer questions, provide encouragement to each other and celebrate successes.
I hope you’ll join us!
