Last week I wrote about the exciting new one on one training program that ActiveRain is offering for those who want to become a Rainmaker. Well the response has been so great that I have been very busy with those sessions. But, many have asked if I can do this as a live webinar so they can see things live as I point them out.
With that being said, I am proud to announce that I will now be offering Live Webinars each week for those that are new to blogging and have not yet become a Rainmaker. These webinars will be on Monday & Wednesday every week. In the beginning there will be 3 sessions per week. Monday will host 2 webinars, one at 1PM EST and another at 6PM EST. Wednesday's session will be at 1PM EST. Each webinar is limited to only 25 seats, so the make sure you register immediately. The sessions will last aprroximately 60-90 minutes in length. Unfortunately, if you are already a Rainmaker, this class isn't for you. But, there is a great training session that Steven is offering for those that are currently a Rainmaker. Check out his full schedule here.
What will be covered in the Webinar?
How to Optimize Your ActiveRain Profile.
How to Insert Photos into your Blog
How to Insert Hyperlinks.
Setting up Your Outside Blog.
How to write effective blog posts for consumers & search engines.
How to use your blog to connect with your community.
Topics to write about on your blog.
Question & Answer
How Much?!? How Much?!?
This is the greatest part, these webinars are only going to be $5.00 per person! But wait, theres more! The $5.00 that you spend to join these webinars is not going to go to waste. Not only will you receive a top notch training session on how to write blogs effectively to show up in the top of search engines which is worth much more than $5.00 in itself, you will also be given one full month to try out our Rainmaker Membership. That includes your posts being indexed by search engines, the ability to send those posts to Localism and also posted to your personal Outside Blog. As a final bonus, you will receive 1,000 bonus points for attending the webinar.
Why do I want to be a Rainmaker?
There are plenty of reasons why everyone should want to be a Rainmaker. I am going to share just a few. First, becoming a Rainmaker means that your posts will have the ability to harness the power of our 160,000+ members and the massive amount of search engine dominance that ActiveRain possesses. Over 75% of ActiveRain's 2 million visitors per month come directly from the search engines. Also, Rainmaker accounts consistently outrank members personal websites in searches. Our Rainmakers posts average 500 views per post. Others are receiving much more traffic (25,000 views!).
How do I sign up?
Well signing up is rather simple. Simply fill out the form below with your contact information and I will send you an email confirming your session and also how to register.
If you were wondering why you would want to be a Rainmaker, here are 6 reasons why everyone should be a Rainmaker. Also, here are some awesome results from a member who took my webinar: Take Rainmaker Webinar today, the #1 spot on Google 10 hours Later!

Fantastic idea Jeremy! I hope that you get some good turnouts (are you hosting?) and I am sure that we will see some amazing postings afterwards!
Good idea Jer...
I have participated in some AR webinars myself and they are very helpful!
David Jeremy... :)
Did you know I'm still tapping my fingers and trying to get you coded. It's all your fault I can't come up with the right code. You put waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much pressure on me :)
I wish you the best of luck with this endeavor. You're going to be really good at this and who knows, maybe as I watch it progress the code will just hit me in the head like a brick :)
TLW...ROAR!
Hi Jeremy -- This is a FANTASTIC idea, I would have been the first to sign-up when I started and I could perhaps still learn some basics!
Jeremy, another great idea that would have been so helpful when I was a newbie. Heck, I'm sure I could still learn something from it, since I'm self-taught and there might be some missing links. I'll check out Steven's event.
Thanks Jeremy for a great idea. I have been helping several newbies in the office and now I will send them to you!!!!
Jeremy...
It wouldn't be a bad idea to post this post...
Here and Here.
Those two Groups need you. Trust me on this one :)
TLW...ROAR!
I am going to see about attending. Thank you for this.
Bout time you got to work!!! lol :-) Better listen to TLW too if you know what's good for you. PS. Thanks for pluggin my post in your training, I still get emails from folks saying how well it's working for them. Rock on dude!!!!
Good good good stuff. Teach them and they will come.
This is really an fantastic opportunity for those that are new or have questions. I so wish this was available when I joined - AR has come a long way!
Hi Jeremy. This makes things so much easier. ~ Lana
Jeremy, went to Steven's blog, found the calendar throug your post but didn't find anything on his. Is the training that he is doing limited in seating?
Jeremy: How about doing something like this for those who are already rainmakers and would like the additional training?
This is a great idea and I was thinking about doing this via webex for my sign ups too! Mind if I sit in yours?
I'm gonna try and take this !!!!
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for the opportunity to get in on some of these if possible. Good information to be had.
I can't get over how much your baby girl has grown and looks like her daddy a lot! She's a cutie patootie!
Patricia
What a wonderful idea, Jeremy, and I see from your picture you have a cute little assistant!
But wait--sign up now and you'll get 2 webinars for the price of 1! Offer is only good for the next 12 minutes, so hurry and sign up right now.
I'm on board with plenty of room for improvement
Jeremy, I am not surprised at the level of interest that you have received, I wish this was available when I first started.
thanks Jeremy for the invite.. I would love to learn more. I need to get higher on the search engine so I can't wait to learn more...
this is exactly what I needed a year ago when i was brand new to AR!
I have had quite a few people (Realtors) on FB ask me how I post different stuff. This will be a great answer and maybe help get a few referrals? Thanks
Jeremy, I wish AR had this when I first started. A great idea and if my new friend joins AR, I'll send him to this post.
Thanks for this. I am still a newbie and thinking about how to allocate some free time in the next couple of weeks to get this going. Have a great weekend.
Thank, Jeremy, I almost wish I wasn't a rainmaker!!! Just kidding .
Jeremy - Great idea and well written post!
VB ;o)
This is a great idea Jeremy. I'm sure these classes will fill up quickly.
TLW- I have listened to your advice.
Brad- Your post is really freat & gives some excellent info.
Judi- From what I understand, there is a limit on the classes. I think they are also limited to 25.
Sandy- Currently there is training available for those that are already rainmakers from Steven.
Michael- Once I get your contact info in the signup box I will be in contact.
Patricia- She is actually grown even more, I need to get some updated pictures.
Sonja- Isabelle is a great assistant!
Lisa- Definitely send them to this post. Or maybe you want to reblog it to your post so that they can find it on your place. Remember, if they get an invitation from you, you get 10% of their points!
Thanks Rebecca!
Lisa Ludlow- Hi to my NC friend! I look forward to having you join my class!
Hehehe David- You don't want to do something crazy like that!
Thanks Vegas Bob!
Thanks Jeremy. I love webinars. Keep 'em coming.
Jeremy: Thank you for an awesome training session yesterday! My team and I want to thank you! You are a wealth of information and you teach it all with diligence, fun and patience. Anyone not taking advantage of this opportunity is not serious about their career.
Training in blogging and the art of AR Seo Google juicing with Jeremy Blanton is like winning the career lotery on your first try.
BTW, this is now a featured post on our Optimist Group. I hope our members (who are not rainmakers yet) will take advantage of this training opportunity.
Great idea, $5 very well spend!
This is certainly needed forpeople like me. Having just posted my first blogs, I was overwhelmed at all I needed to learn. Wish I could take your training right now and smooth out that uphill climb I an taking in the Rain!
Hi Jeremy, I sure need this blog! thanks so much for all your information! I will bookmark for later use. very informative!
BTW..that is a beautiful child you are holding!!! she looks real happy!
I will check out Steves schedule. Thanks.
I think I missed this...will you be having another one?
Good program. I am glad you are offering it for all the new members. Hopefully they will learn the value of blogging.
Tracy- Since you are already a rainmaker, you will want to sign up for Steven's class. I included a link to the calendar up in the post.
Jeremy,
I show up as a rainmaker however I don't have an outside blog. ????
I just updated the calendar with the upcoming webinars for the rest of the month. There has been a bunch of people who have signed up so far, the classes are starting to really fill up, so don't wait! You might lose your seat!
Linda- The reason you have a rainmaker badge without the outside blog is because you were grandfathered in with the ability to write public posts because you had joined AR before Feb 16, 2009 & also wrote at least one blog post before then. You do have an outside blog, but it is one of the original ones that AR offered to its members. It does not allow you to make all the great customizations like the new ones. You can however upgrade to one of those.
A great training tool. It might be an even better conversion tool that education though.
Hey there Jeremy. I signed up and requested the Monday seminar. When will we be notified if we are one of the people selected to attend the webinar?
Mark- I did receive your contact information. But, you are already signed up as a Rainmaker. Therefore, you need to try & get into one of the classes that Steven is teaching. His are geared for those that are already a Rainmaker. Mine is for those that are not & is being taught differently. See the calendar here for dates & times.
Hi Jeremy! I was reading through the list of topics that will be discussed during the webinar and am wondering if the content is not already available on an AR blog post somewhere? I've learned a lot of what I know about AR from AR blogs, so maybe the webinar is more for those who just want to learn everything at once without having to search for tutorials themselves?

I'm looking forward to attending! I've been wanting to start blogging, so hopefully this will give me the push I need. :)
Hi Carly! I look forward to you being in my class!
In case anyone was wondering how effective these classes are, check out this post!
We RainCamp-ed it, but our addictive personalities need MORE!!!! Just signed up for your webinar. Thank you for making something like this available!
Keep spreading the knowledge. Thanks for your continued dedication and support on AR.
I think this idea will make the AR platform stronger than ever. Akin to building a strong cement foundation.
I'd love to be present for this. I'm sure it would be very helpful. Thanks again!!
Jeremy, Because you are such a popular guy, and I'm such a hyper gal, there are far too many comments for me to read to see if this has been answered, lol. Can existing members sign up for the webinars? You know, those of us that are a bit tech challenged? :)

As an AR veteran I'll encourage all new Rainers to take this webinar. The info you cover will svae them hours in learning how to effectively use the platform and put them on a fast track to blogging results.
Jeremy - I hope you get some great participation on this, as I'm sure they will be valuable webinars!
Yes Jeremy I am sure your webinars will be totally well attended and educational...
Jeremy, I just ran across this posting. I certainly could use the instruction thru the webinar. I recognized the value of being a Rainmaker after a couple of weeks of checking the site out, I have only been a Rainmaker for a week, can I still participate in your sessions?
Great stuff... I just registered for the webinar.

I think I will check it out - thanks!
Will you have the alaskian crab legs and shrimp from South America for the intermission break as some of the snacks for participants? The food/snacks and bacon wrapped scallops at the last one were awesome and worth the price of admission alone. Keep up the good work Jeremy.
Jer - Having listened to your webinar a few nights ago to check it out, I can attest to the value for newbies. I hope you continue to get a good response!
ATTENTION NEWBIES and other non-Rainmakers: Jeremy is a patient teacher and he knows his stuff. Sign up!
Jeremy does one have to register for one of STeve's webinars? Is there alimit to numbers in his classes?
Hi Jeremy!
I've been a rainmaker all of 5 days and have yet to post a blog. Will you take my $5? I have to get rid of it :-)
