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?

Google Slides Templates - Social Media Templates, Activities, and Projects for Teachers & Students

Oleh -

I’ve been collecting Google Slide Templates to use with my students for several years and thanks to a recent Matt Miller post, I think I’ve found just about everything I could ever want. Even if social media is blocked in your school, you can still create and share social media with a variety of templates in Google Slides. 

I am always looking for creative ways to engage students in exploring and reflection. One of my favorite ideas is to have students create social media posts to reflect on our learning. Today I wanted to share a template I created for Twitter. I also wanted to share a more complete collection of Google Slides templates for creating social media posts with students. These are all free and ready for teachers and students to use today. 


Looking for more social media templates? This shared Google Drive folder has a collection of social media templates that we’ve created and collected. 

Google Slides Social Media Template Collection 

I’ve modified and updated a few of these as I’ve used them, but whenever possible credit to the original creator is included. I will continue to add to this folder as I create and discover new templates. 

I also always remember to have the occasional discussion about social media etiquette, fake stories, & appropriate social media posts when using these templates with students.

Looking for even more? Two great tools to engage students in creating are Adobe Spark for Education and Canva for Education. Both are free resources for educators that support the creation of graphics from various templates and sizes.
