Editor's Notes

  • #2 Welcome to the first Project Shop! I’m super excited to get going with this. First let me do a quick review of Project Shop and how it will work. Project Shop is essentially a SKILL OF THE MONTH club. Each month we will build our skills through completing a project. There’s so much out there you can read and learn, but nothing will commit it to memory like actually doing it. So each month we will have a skill topic. This month is COPYWRITING. Each Week we will learn a different element, and have a simple task that you can easily finish in a week. You will held accountable for your task and required to turn it in by midnight Sunday night. Complete each task and by the end of the month you will have a completed project. Does that sound good to everyone? Are you ready? Type in the CHAT ‘I’M READY”
