I’m geeked about being on the SparkplugU Faculty and can’t wait to teach the Podcasting class starting up next week.

Podcasting took me from nothing to everything. I think it’s one of the keys to reaching the widest audience possible.

Thanks for plugging us!

I will be taking the course on press releases, thanks for making the courses affordable.

I’m thrilled to be on Wendy’s faculty for this. If you plan to attend the blog network course, feel free to find me beforehand and ask any questions you’d like me to answer in the course.

Though I’m not a work at home mom (or a mom for that matter), this is definitely up my alley. I want to have my business started before we start a family and its nice to have additional resources.

Im thinking of taking my boatload of blogs, and turning them into a cohesive network of similar topic minded blogs.

My flagship blog is a vgetarian blog, but i also have a Chicago blog, a biz blog, a fashion, and myspace blog.

I’m thinking i should brand them all and make them all green, to coincide with my flagship blog, Groovy Vegetarian.

So instead of just a Chicago blog, it could/would be a green Chicago blog, covering eco friendly within the city of Chicago.

So i will look into Wendy’s “blog network course” above. Sounds right up my alley.

I’ve been reading the Sparkplug CEO blog for a while now, and I enjoy and appreciate the down-to-earth and “real” (for lack of a better word) culture there.

Look forward to exploring the classes.

When Wendy went live with this I got the tweet and was amazed at what she was offering at such a low price. I can’t wait to try the press release course. They don’t exactly teach blogging and social networking and Wendy gives it to us. Love it!

It’s also relevant to what she talks about when she says brand yourself and sell it. People want what you have to offer and look, she packaged it perfectly and we want it! Bravo!

This looks like a pretty good resource to have, thanks for writing about it…as i surely wouldn’t have known about it otherwise.

The price as well as the length of the modules is definitely something that would be useful for a lot of people, myself included.

I think this is a very good idea. I saw the website through Wendy’s twitter before seeing this post. I was thinking if it’s a few hundred bucks then I would only sign up if there’s one that really really interested me, but I was surprised by how affordable this is. I think it’s a very good idea because this way, you are not forced to just pick one that you like and stay committed to that one. Instead you can pick and choose from the topics that you want to learn. Some real universities are like that more than the others, but the flexibility is definitely appreciated.

I’m an author at Sparkplugging and have known about this for a while, and I’m *still* totally excited to see some of the classes listed and am so ready to sign up for them. Podcasting, here I come!

Those training courses look very interesting and designed to equip online entrepreneurs with key knowledge and skills for success.

Without a doubt, investing in one’s own business acumen brings long-term benefits and gives a cutting-edge advantage to your activities.

I wonder, Wendy, whether you plan to launch any courses specifically aimed at helping online businesses effectively target non-blogging blog readers and to reach offline customers?

(I am one of this apparently rare breed)

Congrats Wendy! & Hi Darren,
Looks great. And you are right, these are very affordable and will serve to help a lot of folks!

Can I point out a wee typo?
The first course is Diversify(not diversity)
That makes for a whole other talk show;
Diversity – Your Income Workshop(I can hear it now:-)

Seriously, congrats and thanks for providing this service!

Wendy said> and this really is what I feel I was put on this planet to do.

Thanks Darren & everyone!

I have wanted to do something like this for SO LONG. Some people think I should be charging more, but honestly, in my heart I want to make our classes accessible to as many people as possible. I know what it’s like to start out with next to no resources, and this really is what I feel I was put on this planet to do. :)

Darren, like I Twittered earlier, Sparkplugging wouldn’t be where we are today without your support! I heart you! :)
