What do you think about Bootcamp ADVANCED? Advanced activities would be setting up a blog and actively running it, doing videos and loading them your store or on YouTube. Setting up a web site primarily as a redirect, getting wholesale accounts, press releases, labelling pictures for better SEO, more cross promotion beyond Kaboodle, understanding Google trend reports, business planning, client data management

In hopes that maybe the pace would slow down a tad, maybe I could keep up better....I know I haven't done everything in the bootcamp I'm in now...sigh...
Would jump in and hope to keep up!

Oh Trish, I have never done a full day's assigments. I am happy to get 1 or 2 done and am happy with that. I find that the consistency of doing "something" is really helping!

I am so far behind I think I need to repeat this one, I'm still looking for the list to critique the person 5 above. I feel enough guilt about not doing what I need to do for me, I don't want to let someone else down. I know the couple comments I got early on helped me see a little of what someone new sees looking at my site. I'm still trying to get photos redone acceptably, the guide is helping I've always been a little challenged w/ cameras, now I don't have to pay to print the bad ones just delete, much better. On the positive side this may work on some unknown level, I have had 3 rush jobs one for a woman who just found out she has breast cancer, the others for gifts to be given this weekend by clients I enjoy creating with and want to keep. So maybe the exercises(and they are great)are incredibly helpful, just thinking about it more and talking to others, is working a magic. Even not completing many of the tasks this had been wonderful. I hope you will leave the posts on site for a long time let there be access to the records of the assignments and the replies, some of the posts on how others viewed and completed them is another valuable way of understanding the challenges . And if you do begining II sign me up. To let there be access to the records of the assignments

Does there need to be a separate advanced bootcamp? Why not just throw ONE advanced technique in to the mix of daily assignments? When I used to do Pilates classes, there was alway sthe beginner form, the medium form, and the advance from to the same exercise/move. We could borrow that idea, no?

Caralyn: On the left side menu of the community section of iCraft, there is a seller's bootcamp link. It takes you to this page: https://icraftgifts.com/sellers_bootcamp.phpScroll down. There is a "list" of bootcampers in the form of their AVATARS! It's not a text list of shop names. Maybe that's what's throwing you? |

Not sure if I'm ready for all that fancy stuff, but I'm definitely up for trying. The thought of videotaping me working (one of me sewing on the floor in my underwear perhaps?) was good for a laugh!

As I mentioned in the daily thread, I think I need to pass on advanced bootcamp but I'd like to follow along with reading to take it at my own pace. With the babe coming in September, I think that I need to take a step back and work on just applying the routines that I've learned these 17 days without tackling too many new things!

Hey Studio ... I'm with you... I need to do more of the basic things too.
In the real world... like when bootcamp is over ... you would be wise to eliminate some of the various activities and focus on maybe three. The beauty of bootcamp is to expose yourself to all the different marketing opportunities.to determine where you can find the right kind of buyer for your product.
Like Carolayn said... just chatting about her business has brought her business! If that works why would you need to tweet, blog or Oodle Kaboodle???
Anyways I love all the varied comments. You all have no idea how helpful they are for me!

I really love the idea of bootcamp and I want to do the best I can, but I need to make sure I can make it through "basic training" before considering the advanced level.  I liked the idea about mixing in an advanced task for those up for the challenge, though. Ainsley |

I like the idea of Advanced Bootcamp. I'm very interested in some of the things you mentionned, but not so much in others. So I would pick and choose which things I did (time being a significant issue for me). But I like the idea of mixing beginner, intermediate and advanced activites in one Bootcamp. Could that work? Or could we have several different Advanced Bootcamps that specialize a bit more, so that some people select the ones that are of interest to them while others might choose them all?
I think that it is critical for us to take what was started with bootcamp and continue forward with that momentum. We need to do it individually for our own shops, but also as a collective I think. As a group, we add up to more than just the sum of our individual efforts.
