This week we completed the Discussion Sheet about newsletters.
This provides tips covering:
(i) Formatting and branding;
.
(ii) Distribution method;
(iii) Maintaining and using mailing lists
(iv) Distribution schedule; and
(v) Taking your newsletter to the next level…
Our apologies this is late in the month (we will resist the temptation to grumble about how fast the year is going… except I suppose we didn’t hehe), March is Brain Injury Awareness Month.
At Enabled.vip we believe disability doesn’t mean inability.
If you are living with a brain injury, we are here to help. The platform can assist you with…
In exciting news, we just had a new person sign up as a pilot tester of the programme.
We are incredibly excited to have a new pilot tester onboard. The plan still is to participate in the MS Queensland webinar on 17 March at 10 am.
In addition to allowing us to test our systems and processes, the pilot test will allow us to explore some of our suppositions (e.g. how things will split between hobbies/crafts, gig-based micro-business or a small business)…
The platform has an internal discussion board which limits how much non-members can see. Only members can post to the board, create a discussion folder or perform an internal search.
HOW SHOULD THE BOARD BE USED?
The Board, and the idea of “Asking the Tribe”, is recognising we all have valuable insights and experiences, so collectively we have a powerhouse of knowledge.
So the platform and access to the “Ask the Tribe” discussion board is your superpower.
Did you have to retire from work because of your disability, but still have marketable skills? Or could you otherwise do work on a gig basis?
A disability/chronic condition doesn’t need to limit skills/knowledge or contribution, but isolation and lack of support often can.
Enabled.vip offers an innovative alternative.
Today our executive team sent a proposal to the great platform Fiverr. It discusses how the two will work together to deliver an amazing service for Australians who live with a disability, but would also see the pending sections built. Fiverr was the inspiration for Gary’s ideas for the Enabled.vip platform so we are really excited by the prospect of collaborating.
Tomorrow Enabled.vip is meeting Fiverr to discuss the interface between the BAZAAR and Fiverr. While we have come up with a strategy for the interface, it will be terrific to explore options. We love and regularly use Fiverr, so it’s fantastic to learn they have a disability team.
This is our plan for future webinars that will be conducted by Enabled.vip. These events will last one hour, will be open and free for members of the platform, will be recorded for posting on the web site and will be conducted on a monthly basis.
Today, we have finished work on the Discussion Sheet about PDFs (including the use of copying and printing protection, as well as the use of redaction). Now we’re moving on to the sheet about Copy Protection. This series is written for all members regardless of whether they are on an incubator, gigging, hobby, volunteer or lobby arc.
This weekend, we’re continuing our work on the resources for members and governance policies. Our deep desire for the Enabled.vip platform is to support members to earn some extra money through establishing a small or micro business, or by monetising a hobby. We will do that with a combination of:
A resource library that combines in-house produced material and links to external useful material.
Mentors who are experienced business people who live with a disability.
An internal peer discussion board for sharing and encouragement.
A series of webinars with great guest speakers
People can join the platform for $400 (expressions of interest open now) and remain a member for $90. This would be payable through the NDIS, EFT or credit card
Enabled is a virtual incubator to assist Australians who live with a disability to pursue their potential, such as would-be-entrepreneurs starting a small business or gigsters starting a micro-business. Hobbyists to keep pursuing their passion, lobbyists to push for a constructive change and would-be-volunteeres to find somewhere to volunteer.
