Events create concentrated experiences. Attendees engage deeply over a short period. This intensity builds relationships faster than any other format.

The event ladder moves attendees from free exposure to paid participation to premium experiences. Each event type serves a different rung.

EVENTS

Free Webinars as Top of Funnel

Free webinars attract new prospects. Deliver genuine value while demonstrating your expertise. End with a soft offer for next-step engagement.

Structure webinars to leak your methodology without giving everything away. Leave attendees wanting more.

Event Type Purpose
Free webinar Attract, educate
Paid workshop Deeper transformation

Paid Workshops

Paid workshops offer deeper transformation in 2-4 hours. Participants get focused learning and interaction. Price accessibly to encourage attendance.

Multi-Day Courses

Extended events (weekend workshops, week-long intensives) provide immersive experiences. These command higher prices and produce deeper results.

Conferences and Summits

Large events with multiple speakers and tracks. These can be produced solo or with partners. Conferences build community at scale.

Retreats and Masterminds

Top of the event ladder: multi-day retreats with limited attendance. Intimate, transformative, premium-priced. These create lifelong memories and relationships.

If you run events, map your offerings against this ladder. What rungs are missing? What could you add to serve attendees at different levels?

Flashcard Engagement with Digital Flashcard Creation Tools

How do you engage students in exploring concepts and vocabulary?

When you need to focus on learning and esploring vocabulary, one of the best methods for many learners is to create and explore a set of flashcards. These flashcards can be created on paper, digitally, or sometimes even purchased.

Today I wanted to share some digital resources to help create everyone create and engage in learning with flashcards.

Google Slides

When I do go digital, one of my favorite ways to create flashcards digitally is with Google Slides. 

I first explored this idea after reading Julie Smith’s post, “Easily Create and Randomize Digital Flashcards in Google Slides“. Slides Mania also has a great template for creating flashcards, “Flashcards template for Google Slides and PowerPoint.“

Google Autodraw

Side 1
Side 2

Autodraw has always been one of our favorite tools to get students creating digitally. I really like having student sketch ideas, and Autodraw is a great digital tool to get students creating and thinking critically as they design flashcards. The idea is that one side contains the concept / definition and the other side has images connected to idea. 

Another great idea is to use Book Creator, which has a built in connect to Autodraw.
