Never Stop Learning

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

The educational process should be a non-stop thing for everyone.  In our society, technology, information and processes are changing on an almost daily basis.  This is why I am always looking for new things to learn and new processes to explore.  Learning WordPress was one of those challenges.  I didn’t take a formal course to learn it; I went through the trial-and-error process, which worked for me.

My next challenge will be to learn all the ins-and-outs of Constant Contact.  I will be travelling to Chicago, on the Metra System to take their seminars titled The Power of Email Marketing and Getting Started with Constant Contact.  I am really looking forward to this.  I love taking the train to Chicago and the seminars are quite the bonus.

I have invited members of the two local chambers that I belong to: the Wind Lake Chamber of Commerce and the Waterford Area Chamber of Commerce.  I hope that a lot of people reply to me with interest in this event.  It would make the experience richer to share this knowledge with some friends.  So far, I have one friend that is going, along with my daughter and a friend of hers, (they are just going to shop, though).

Constant Contact has been quite the impressive program so far.  I downloaded their free trial less than a month ago and have sent out one email so far.  The really impressive thing was that within one hour of my download, I received a call from a tech support person, asking if I had any questions.  I almost fell off my chair!  It was a good thing that he called though; I did have a few questions.  Like “are you going to scrutinize every email and address that I attempt to send out; even to people in my personal address book?”
