One of the things I look forward to every year on my birthday is the email I get from a particular site that knows it's my birthday.  They send one every year and it helps make my day.

(updated 07/22/2018)  Huge Update!

A 4 minute introduction to Marketing Automation.

I attend a small church in south east Indiana.  Like most churches, people visit and we may or may not see them again.  If they fill out a visitor card, the church secretary sends out a letter and may even call them just to make contact and do some followup with them.  It's important and absolutely should be done.  But could we do more?

One of our non-profit clients wanted an area on their site where they could post private board minutes.  Board members could log in, view and/or download the documents in preparation for future meetings.  Of course, they didn't want this section of the site being seen by the public or showing up in the site's search results.

As some of you may know, I've been teaching people how to do marketing automation using the open source project from Mautic for the past two years. We use it here at NavigateTomorrow and help our clients dive into marketing automation using it as well. 

Steve Burge over at OSTraining asked me to create an introductory course (just 12 videos).  Here's a sneak peak into what you'll learn.

We'll cover:

• Installation
• Configuration
• Cron Jobs
• Contacts
• Components (Forms/Landing Pages)
• Channels (Emails/Focus Items)
• Campaigns
• Outcomes
• And a bonus video on white labeling

I've had the joy of knowing Sarah Watz for about 5 years now. We served together on the Joomla! board, Open Source Matters for almost three years. Sarah runs a web design and internet marketing company in Stockholm, Sweden called PixPro (they do a lot more than that...). 

Sarah interviewed me on her Facebook Live show on February 26, 2018.

In this video you'll hear: 

In this brief tutorial, I show you how to build a report that highlights how many contacts you've added over any time period.

We’re pleased to share with you one of our newest site launches:  https://dillsboro.in.
