Finding your Fish

Rated 5 out of 5

The class brought my attention to the different platforms to explore. Lisa is a natural teacher who uses cartoons to help visual learners like me really get the lesson of the week. And she is a whiz kid with WordPress. I feel confident I am on the path to finding friends who read on social media.

I have recommended Lisa's classes to everyone in my network. The smart people are the ones who listen and sign up. Lisa navigates a perfect balance between guidance and experimentation, teaching and autonomy. The class meets students where they are and takes them to places they never imagined. She is always positive, funny, sweet, knowledgeable, and she nurtures that same atmosphere in her classes. You'll network, meet new friends, learn from their challenges. This class is worth WAY more than the fee. As much as you love Margie, you'll find that same affinity for Lisa.

Awesome Social Media Class

Rated 5 out of 5

I can’t recommend Lisa’s classes enough. She will hold your hand, guide you through the tech-jungle, and make it seem easy. I’m pretty much a beginner when it comes to promoting my work using social media, but this class has given me both a solid footing and the confidence to start branching out. The class is also great for those with more experience but who want to build their social media presence. Lisa’s depth of understanding, attention to detail, and patience and understanding for those of us who are less than tech-savvy are all wonderful.
