Teleclasses

Learn just by picking up the phone.
Or purchase the audio file afterward.

Here's the 2010 roster of teleclasses:

March 18 — Marketing Up: Finding Clients with Real Budgets with Ilise Benun
Word of mouth doesn’t always bring the clients you want — the ones with budgets to afford your services.  Instead, create a Marketing Machine: a structured campaign through which you actively pursue the prospects of your choosing.

April 15 — Artist to Rainmaker: A Possible Journey. Turn Your Artistic Sensibility into Profit with Wendy Weiss

May 20 — Permissions: Others Using Your Work; You Using Others' Work. The Rules of the Road with Joyce Miller

You learn by phone – which makes it easy to attend. Classes are designed to help you learn more about your industry and the best ways to promote and protect your economic interests.

Each class takes place over the phone on the last Thursday of the month at 2pm East Coast Time, so you can attend in the comfort of your own home or studio. The fee is $15 for members and $25 for non-members. Your paid registration includes a copy of the audio file, so register today to secure your place on the call! For more information please contact the Guild office at (212) 791-3400, ext. 10. More classes will be added throughout the year, so check the website for updates. And please visit the speaker's websites for their bios and additional information.

If you want to work even more on your business this winter, download an audio tape of a previous class. Here's a list of everything that's available to help you.
