Preparation For The Course
Marketing calendar:
Mark your calendar for 6-8 weeks prior to the first day of class. This is your marketing window. Be bold! Tell people what you want them to do!
-
Will you do a free meeting? Make a link to schedule that and add it to your offer on the NVM page, and on your own site if you have a sales & information page.
-
If you have a sales & information page on your own website, make it easy for them to register.
-
For your sales page, you can use NVM colors, fonts, and logo. If you want advice or help, ask Meredith.
YouTube or Vimeo:
-
You will need an account with YouTube or Vimeo to upload your class recordings. Recommended: Make a dedicated account for your NVM related content, including class recording uploads.
-
The S.O.P. for uploading content is included with each of the first 4 modules below. You can download it and add it to your own filing system, or continue to reference it here.
Emails & Data
-
As people register, you'll need to create a copy/paste email list for the weekly emails
-
You should build an easily accessible data sheet for emergency information. This data sheet should also include relevant information about each participant, such as payment plans, associated institutions, and dates.
Before They Register
Build Welcome Email Drip:
-
Create separate email drips for Level 1 and Level 2 courses. If you don't know what that is or how to do it, go to YouTube. Look up "how to build an email drip campaign with [your email service provider].
-
The text for your emails is provided below. Please feel free to adjust the language to make it more authentic to your writing style and add any decorative elements to make the emails more friendly and visually appealing. (There are a few graphics in the Graphics folder of this site.)
-
There are 8 welcome emails. If you don't want to include one or more of the emails, don't. Use your discretion. BUT, please include the survey + emergency contact request.
Survey:
Please direct participants to this survey (per Welcome emails no. 1 and 2). This helps us create valuable marketing data, and also provides you with emergency information for online training.
Time zone graphic
-
If your participants are in different time zones, go to TimeAndDate.com and create a time zone list by date. You will take screenshots of those, keep them in a folder, and add the appropriate date to the bottom of each module email. Here is an SOP for that process.
ONBOARDING
As soon as a participant registers, you can begin the email drip.
-
Unless you have this automated, you will need to trigger the drip yourself inside your email service.
-
Create two drip sequences, one for Level 1, and one for Level 2.
-
You will need to create this drip sequence in your own email service.
-
Suggested copy for each email is in the .docx documents below. You will need to design and decorate your emails as you like.
-
Suggested .png files and .gif files are suggested and provided in the Wix folder Homebase for Instructors. You can use them if you like.
-
You should copy the text and personalize it with your own voice.

FOR CLASS​
-
Instructor notes have reminders. Check into your class 30-45 mins prior to class to make sure everything is in order (e.g., your computer works, the video plays, you have your notes, etc.)
-
Download notes and upload to Google docs or other editing software. There is a lot there, and you will need to edit based on both:
-
your level of comfort with that subject​
-
the number of people in your class
-
-
A large class will leave little time for lecture after all the introductions. If you have a large class, edit your notes to focus on predictive processing (allostasis) as the most important thing.
-
Remember to press "record" on Zoom when your class starts!
