Hey everyone, I am new here and I will like a friendly guide on how to market my virtual show on Facebook using convertkit

Hi! I'm a new blogger (as in, VERY new- 2 blog posts published, several others almost ready and in the works). I am still learning definitions of the lingo of some of the parts of a blog- such as the landing page, and what makes a good one. Here's mine- I would LOVE feedback on how I can improve it or hear what you like about it!
http://embraceinthechaos.com/
I don't consider myself a salesperson, so I feel like selling myself is where I'm going to struggle some. If you cannot tell by my landing page, I am a blogger who wants to help everyone live up to their full potential in several areas, but my main focus is in mental health, parenting, and money management. Thank you for having me!
Welcome to the community! Glad you're here. LOVE the colors you used here!
Hello! 👋
I am a newbie! I’m slow getting started and am making mistakes but am pushing through! My friends and I just wrote a back to work guide for salon and spa pros.
What do you think about our landing page?https://creative-teacher-4948.ck.page/2419a73ea1
As I was setting up my convert kit account, I noticed the contest (ended in January) So I worked really hard to set up our page and get 100 subscribers to qualify. i’m sure there must be so many amazing contenders but I’m hoping that we are in the running. We’re really passionate about helping our people and we really could use some help during this crazy time. How can we find out the status of this contest?
I have noticed that the learning page looks really great on my computer but it’s not very mobile friendly. Are there any solutions for this?
Welcome to the community! Really glad you're here. 😃
We've just opened a brand new Accelerator group that you might be interested in, with your newly built landing page! Under 'Groups' you can find where to join.
Hope to see you there!
I don't see 'groups'.
Where can I find that?
You can find 'groups' by pushing the 'Home' and icon in the upper left corner under the ConvertKit logo. That will take you to the Community Page where you can blog. On the left side, you should see GROUPS. Hope this answers your question.
Thanks, Jennifer!
I'm new here can someone make me to understand here
Welcome to the community, Francis!
You can start by checking out our Lunch & Learn series: https://help.convertkit.com/en/articles/3670445-getting-started-lunch-learn-video-series
and also by joining the Beginner Creators group. 😃
When I try and post a quesrtion on community blog, it keeps requiring that I put a topic...but the topic options don't fit my question...what do I do?
Hi Jennifer! What topics were you looking for? Happy to add a few for you. 🙂
Great, thank you Haley.
Topic is Squarespace and getting started with ConvertKit. Maybe that's too specific. General topic might be: Integrating forms from another platform. Other topics might be: Getting started: what to do first?; Troubleshooting errors.
And what if I don't know what the topic of my question is (where it fits)...how do I still post a question if the topics listed don't fit?
Thank you for helping this Newbie along :-)
Great suggestions, Jennifer! We do have a topic for Squarespace and one for Integrations too, I believe. If you're attempting to tag your post with a topic you should see the option to type in one of those and the smart search should bring it up.
Let me know if that doesn't work for you!
There's also a more generic "ConvertKit Help" tag that you can always use too. 😃
Yes that worked Haley. Thank you. I will post my questions later.
Appreciate your help.
Happy to help!
Hi, I'm new to the community, even though I've already had my CC account for a little bit and piddled around with some landing pages 😀
I am a soulpreneur (I help people tap into their subconscious programing in order to release their limiting beliefs and behavior). I am also working on building a health & wellness business.
I have found CC to be such an amazing resource as I am learning most everything from scratch, haha. It is so well done, easy to understand and implement and a true gold mine of ideas and resources. I love attending the webinars and am really drawn to utilizing email marketing and webinars. I'd also love to learn how to create digital courses to create more margin in my life yet to still be able to impact many people with the talents and skills I have been given.
Thank you for this great encouragement, inspiration, and support.
Yay! Welcome to the community! 🎉 Make sure to join a group to get more connected with the awesome creators around here.
Hi, Haley I just joined recently and still learning the process. I have a website but not ready to launch yet.
I am a new blogger and overwhelmed building my website but learning slowly. My Blog is about Travel History and Resource with so many questions in my mind regarding Convert Kit.
My website has different forms. Forms for people to sign up but a bit confused about what the forms stand for and what will happen next once they sign up. I tried submitting my own information as a test to see how a subscriber responds. I checked my email and I got the notification that Convert Kit received my info and clicked on confirm subscription. What happens next after confirming? How do I know if this is the double Opt-in? What do I do next? How do I set this up before I launch?
Hope to hear from you soon, please!
Welcome to the community!
I would suggest starting here: https://help.convertkit.com/en/articles/3670445-getting-started-lunch-learn-video-series
You can take it a little at a time, and remember to just stay consistent! Do a little bit every day.
Also, join the Beginner Creators group here, and ask as many questions as you need! The creators here in our community are wonderful, and you'll find lots of help and support.
I'm migrating over from years with Mailchimp. I have a little over 1000 email subscribers with my list recently scrubbed. I don't even know where to begin once my VA migrates my email list and set up my automations.
Welcome to the community, Shelly!
This video series is a terrific introduction to the platform, and we've broken it up into bite-sized pieces, so there's no need to watch it all at once. (Unless you want to!)
https://help.convertkit.com/en/articles/3670445-getting-started-lunch-learn-video-series
I hope that helps! We're here to help you get things off the ground, so ask lots of questions too! 😃
Thanks for the invitation, Haley!
Brand new at this, honestly a bit intimidated and overwhelmed. I'm a new blogger/website that is nearly ready for publication-with this last step of setting up email marketing. I have the ideas and many of the words, but not yet the know-how. I'm a wife and mom, neighbor, and friend with a passion for speaking and writing. My website is Grace Through a Not So Perfect Pot and all about living as a follower of Jesus in these often broken yet beautiful moments we call life.
I've had two pieces now published in compilation books and getting started on the all-encompassing growing a platform! I'm told again and again, this is where to get started. So here I am. Ready to get started, but swimming around in a platform 'language' completely foreign to me!
So...where do I get started? I have a website that includes forms for people to sign up for a newsletter and submit contact info, but no clue what to do next or how to put it all together.
Welcome Jennifer!
I'd start here: https://help.convertkit.com/en/articles/3670445-getting-started-lunch-learn-video-series
This is our on-boarding video series and it's broken up into smaller pieces for easy consumption. (ie You don't have to sit and watch it all at once.) I hope it helps!
Once you're familiar with your account, I'd say send a broadcast (one-off) email to your list of subscribers! From there you can decide how often to reach out to them, etc. The biggest thing is consistently engaging those who have opted into your list!
Thank you Haley. This will get me started, from the very beginning, as I don't even have any subscribers yet...website is ready to go once I get this last step in place...
Jennifer
And it just so happens I'm sitting down to lunch so this 'lunch series' is perfect!
I love it!
Still learning! I love all the information, resources and help you offer.
My only issue is that I'm a scaredy-cat and an experiential learner - I like working on the challenges with someone. I appreciate that you're offering these walk-throughs and build ups, this group has really been pushing me.
Thank you so much
Love this, thanks for sharing @neona (Kayla Marie Quinn)!
I'm retired and a grandmother and new to email marketing. I plan to self-publish some books. I am in a little bit of overwhelm but can't wait to learn all you have to offer. Exciting stuff. Life sure is NOT boring.
Welcome to the community, Teresa! So glad you're here. I agree with you- life is definitely not boring!
Hi Hayley, I'm new to convert kit and really psyched to get started. I've built a very successful coaching business on the ground and am ready to build a coaching and course business online now.
Where should I go first to get started with my CK account ? Thanks Amy
Hi Amy! Welcome to the community! Really excited you're here.
I would start by creating a landing page for your coaching/courses. Start here, and then reach out right here to the community as questions come up:
https://help.convertkit.com/en/articles/2729499-how-to-create-a-landing-page
The idea here is that you want to give your audience an opportunity to say yes to what you're working on. Including a small freebie in exchange for their opt-in can be really powerful! This article from our blog talks about that a bit more in detail:
https://convertkit.com/issues/landing-page-guide
I hope this helps!
Hayley, I created my first landing page just to test it out, now I can't find it(;
where do I go to find it, #newbie
Amy
Hi Amy! Your landing pages will be under the Landing Pages & Forms tab within your account. You can sort those by oldest/newest, and more. Hope this helps!
Hi Haley,
Is there any way to get on the phone with someone? I have made a mess of my subscribers tags and segments after importing and I'm trying to understand how it all works and fix the situation I have in order to efficiently use ConvertKit and it is a little too overwhelming for a video or article fix.
Hi Erin, our team can definitely help you out. I would suggest starting by reaching out to help@convertkit.com and including a few details of where you are in your process. This is something a product specialist will be able to help sort out for you.
Hi, I'm fairly new to ConvertKit and I need help with figuring out subscribers and setting up automations. Are there videos I can watch? Where should I go to get help with this?

Hi,
I'm new here, just joined yesterday. I'm trying to learn how to use this in order to grow my business. Cant wait to meet and learn from wonderful people here. Thanks.
So excited you're here! 🎉
Hi,
I am very new to Convert Kit. So new in fact, that I am still deciding if I should go for it.
I made a website where I am trying to introduce an alternative approach to games reviews. In my case I am planning presenting my reviews in a storytelling fashion.
My site is new (actually launched it friday, january 15th.) and does not contain any store or sellable services. It is purely informational.
Reason I want to use a newsletter, and therefore use ConvertKit, is adding exclusive content available only for newsletter subscribers.
Now for my question: How do I make a newsletter (I guess a campaign), which starts from the first mail for each new subscriber?
Thank you for helping me out realizing how to work with Convert Kit!
HI, Convert Kit has so many videos that assist + go through the steps and I just went and watched a whole bunch on what I was looking for, and one was to to an ecommerce guide and then I did a landing page for subscribers to get onto my email list and now growing that. Joining this community is helpful as well. Hope this helps and best of luck!
Thank you very much for your warm and informative message. :)
I am new here
