Gifts For Woodworkers That Keep Giving
Christmas is just a week away as I’m writing this post, and if you’re anything like me, you’re a holiday procrastinator. Putting off to the last minute what you could’ve easily accomplished before now. And if YOU’RE NOT the holiday procrastinator maybe you know someone who is.
In fact maybe that someone is a person who’s looking for last minute gift ideas for you, the woodworker in their life! I have three great Woodworking Gift Ideas sure to please the woodworker on your holiday wish list.
1. Adam King of The Woodworker’s Journey just released a brand new E-course geared exclusively for woodworkers titled “Woodworking Can Pay Your Bills”.
What woodworker hasn’t dreamed of starting up and owning their own woodworking business? I know I daydream about it every waking moment and I know many of you do too.
“Woodworking Can Pay Your Bills” is a ten email course (plus two special BONUS emails) that’s a no-nonsense approach to laying the foundation for your ideal woodworking business.
In Woodworking CAN Pay Your Bills you’ll learn:
* How to leverage everything you currently have and virtually eliminate start up cost.
* Who your ideal customer is and how to find them.
* A pricing method that will leave you and your customer smiling instead of cringing.
* How to crush your marketing fear and turn it into your most valuable tool
* How to take your business online and find clients in less than a day
* A social media strategy that gets you attention…and sales.
* How to name your business that makes customers want to buy from you.
Adam King is someone who knows how to run a successful woodworking business and someone I trust to help me to decide if it’s something I can do too. If you’ve ever wondered how and what it takes to make it as a professional woodworker, this is the E-course for you. To find all the information you need to get started just click on this link “Woodworking Can Pay Your Bills” and visit Adam today.
The course costs $27 and once you sign up, the first lesson arrives shortly afterwards. It’s a small price to pay to bring you that much closer to discovering if you have what it takes to start and run something you’ve been dreaming about for years.
2. My co-host and friend Shannon Rogers opened the doors earlier this year to his virtual Hand Tool School. Aptly titled “The Hand Tool School Virtual Apprenticeship”, this internet only educational experience is living up to it’s name.
With several hands-on and in-depth courses already under his belt, the first semester of many to come is already paying off for the students who’ve already paid their tuition and are downloading the lessons as they become available. The beauty of The Hand Tool School is you learn at your own pace, at your own time and you have access to the instructor at your own convenience. No set times to worry about and no detention for talking in class!
Chances are many of you own traditional hand tools and want to learn how to use them the best way possible. You want to learn how get amazing results you’ve only read about, you want to learn how and why they work and maybe even why you’re struggling with what might seem a simple tool. Shannon goes into great detail to make sure you understand the in’s and out’s of the tools he covers in the courses and then he backs up those lessons with simple to do, yet still, skill building exercises to reinforce them.
In honor of the Holiday Season Shannon is offering an one time “Last Minute Christmas Shopper Sale at the The Hand Tool School”. From now until Boxing Day (that’s December 26th, 2010) every new membership at The Hand Tool School will be 20% off!
For all the great information, including news about an upcoming special giveaway to students in February, click on this link “The Hand Tool School”. Once you click on the register button use the coupon code SANTASAWS at checkout to take advantage of the discount.
