Resources for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators

There are many resources available for the Stampin Up demonstrator, ideas to make Stampin' Up! a successful business. I will compile many of them here.

Do you need help planning your classes or workshops? You can find help here. Need help setting up a website for your stamp business? We can help with that, too!

Just click on the images and links below and check out all these great business-building tools to make this the best year ever!

Stop back here August 1st and join me on the SUDSOL Blog Tour!

I know we feel we should be coming up with our own ideas all the time, but sometimes it's nice to have a little help. The Demo to Demo products are exceptional, and they have always been a big hit with my customers. Use them to supplement your own wonderful ideas.

And they are so very much more than "ideas." For instance, the class planners come ready to go with a flyer to post to advertise your class, pictures, instructions for your customers to follow, a breakdown of the supplies cost so you know EXACTLY how much each project will cost you per person, and plenty more.

Be sure to check them out!

I have used this very successfully for my stamp camps and classes. It's an easy way for customers to register and pay for your events online. If a customer registers and pays you directly you can still input their registration through Eventbrite and you won't pay a fee for it.

SUDSOL is one of the best things I have done for my business. I joined not too long after becoming a demonstrator, and it was the best upline I could have. My upline lived quite a distance away, and when I had questions I would just submit them to SUDSOL and usually had an answer (or lots of them!) within a few minutes. It is a fabulous tool for those who don't have an upline nearby, and even for those who do.

SUDSOL has an extensive gallery of creative samples (many exculusive to SUDSOL), tutorials, ideas for workshops, forms created and shared by other demonstrators, and much, much more, all available to you 24/7.

SUDSOL has even partnered with John Sanpietro, a certified professional development coach who works exclusively with stamping business owners on developing their stamp business.Featuring articles exclusively for SUDSOL members, and specials on his coaching classes, he is a tremendous asset to the already powerful SUDSOL community.

I have tried various blogging platforms... some of them very beautiful and nice and hosted by the most wonderful people, but they were not for me. For one thing, I had to do the uploading of new versions of the software myself. I was terrified of making a mistake, so it never got done. With Site Build It! that is all done for me behind the scenes and I don't have to lift a finger. I don't need to know html or css at all if I don't want to (though I am learning).

I also believe for me to build a long-term and lasting business that a website is a better choice. See why here. And I don't have to choose because with SBI a website and blog are included for one price! So now I have all the benefits of a website with the added feature of RSS feeds of blogs.

Another thing is the newsletter feature, which is included in the price of SBI. I can send e-mails/newsletters out to 5,000 e-mail addresses per month. If I don't use them all they are carried over to the next month. I can carry over until I reach 55,000. Don't I wish I had 55,000 names on my mailing list! LOL! (Just give me time!) Just the cost of the newsletter and archiving service that I previously used covers the cost of SBI. (Yes, you can archive your newsletters with SBI, too.)

There are SO MANY features of SBI that can help you grow your business... too many to list, and I haven't even tried them all yet! For instance, I am working on developing a 7-week class offering that will be sent to the participants automatically upon sign-up, I won't have to do a thing after setting it up. Yes, that is all included with the yearly fee.

One great feature about SBI is it helps you grow quality traffic by teaching you how to build links and how to research keywords. Believe me, if you think you can come up with the most profitable keywords on your own, you can't. I have found some dynamite keywords that I NEVER would have thought of on my own. And knowing whether the best keyword is plural or singular or has an -ing at the end -- as in stamp, stamps, stamping -- can make a HUGE difference. For instance, do you know which keyword is better: cardmaking or card making? One has 7 times more demand than the other one. (It's card making.)

SBI helps you analyze keywords to see how much competition there is for a particular keyword and whether it is winnable given the amount of time you have to devote to your site.

If you're working on your site simply for your pleasure, that is great! But if you're trying to build it to earn money, then without traffic you're just throwing your money away. So, is your website or blog receiving enough traffic?

I started this website on December 6, 2009. As of the time of this writing (March 14, 2010) with some hard work and the help of Site Build It! I am on target to have almost 2200 unique visitors and over 9000 page views this month alone! That's after just over three months. I can't wait to see where I will be a year from now!

I could go on and on, but just click on the SBI image above or below and check it out for yourself. And they offer a 30-day money back guarantee. So if you're ready to take it to the next level and actually make money with your site, why not give it a go and see for yourself?


Site Build It! has so many free tools and e-books available to help you succeed. Here is just one. Download it for free.

If you know of a great resource that other demonstrators can benefit from, please let me know and I will include it here.


Happy Stampin'!
