How this works
We work with several small businesses in the Batavia, Geneva, St Charles, and Aurora regions.
We’ll help you create a digital résumé on a Squarespace website and then introduce you to our clients as a resource we’ve trained and think may be a good fit.
You will help us build their digital marketing platform and then continue to help them maintain it after we complete the project – you’re their primary go-to indefinitely after we leave.
We’ll help you get set up on Upwork.com where our clients will pay you directly.
Programs & skills you’ll use and master
Squarespace Content Management
We use Squarespace as the content management system for most of our clients and we’ll teach you the ins and outs of creating and maintaining pages and libraries of content, installing images and videos and designing landing pages that create new relationships with visitors.
Graphic Design with Figma Software
We use figma.com to create and manage graphic design aspects of a clients web site and marketing promotions including branding. Figma is free for up to two users and requires no software installation and is easier and more effective to use than Photoshop or Illustrator.
Audio Editing & Adobe Premier
We do a lot of audio recording for podcasts and audio driven video slideshows and content production. You’ll learn how to capture, clean and then edit audio into short highlights and then become an ongoing resource for organizations using audio in their marketing.
Visual Capture, Editing and Optimization
We work with stock photography, cell phone photography and professional photography to tell visually intense stories that are cost effective and efficient to produce. We use Adobe Lightroom to take visuals up to the next level and we’ll teach you how to do that for clients so you can help them tell captivating visual stories.
Video Editing & Production
We use Adobe Premier along with other free video editing software (Insta360 video editing) to craft video banners and stories for clients. We’ll hook you into that workflow for clients to help them with an ongoing capture of video driven stories that are quick to capture and produce.
Email Campaigns with MailChimp
We send emails to tens of thousands of recipients for our customers and will show you everything we know about email campaigning and then turn over some of these efforts to you.
