FAQs

Who is this event designed for?

The 2022 Alpha Holiday Bootcamp is designed for product-based online businesses who need help planning their marketing for the holiday season. Though the program has a heavy emphasis on Etsy and handmade businesses, the daily actions discussed can be applied to most business models and selling platforms, including personal websites.

Who is this event not designed for?

The Alpha Holiday Bootcamp is not designed for online sellers who have already developed a plan for their holiday growth and marketing.

Though the daily video trainings are accessible at any time after they unlock (all are pre-recorded, aside from the final group live call on October 2nd), the program is not ideal for sellers who are unable/too busy to watch their daily lessons. This is a 7-day self-paced Bootcamp, so though you can tune in at any time each day, you won’t see the intended results of the program if you attempt to watch all 7 days at once or if you skip the daily lessons. The program will be teaching you a marketing plan that you should be prepared to begin executing in early October and your marketing plan will span through early December.

Is there anything I’ll need in order to participate?

Because the Alpha Holiday Bootcamp is designed to help boost your social media marketing efforts, it is recommended that participants have social media accounts already set up, with a strong emphasis on Instagram in particular, as it is the easiest platform to utilize for fast growth. Though the program does have a heavy emphasis on Instagram, your marketing efforts can also be applied to Facebook, Pinterest, etc.

It is also HIGHLY recommended that you sign up for a free 30-day Canva Pro subscription if you are not already a Canva Pro member. Due to the number of images you’ll be building for your social media marketing plan, Canva Pro is the fastest way to create these images and many of the templates included in this Bootcamp will require at least a free Canva membership. By signing up for their 30-day trial, you should have enough time to complete your holiday marketing images and cancel your free trial before being billed if you decide you do not want to keep the subscription.
