In this episode, you'll learn about my "social sharing" workshops: short online trainings for clinicians where attendees come for free if they share the event with a group (otherwise there’s a small paid fee). Sign-ups before the live class get the free option, all registrants receive full recordings and newsletter subscription as part of the exchange.
I cover why I use this model (accessibility, community building, word-of-mouth growth), how I trust participants to share, how I handle dishonest responses, and recent results and adjustments I'm making to make the process clearer.
If you want to check it out, sign up for Updating Your Homepage on May 6 from 12-1 pm ET. It’s $25 or free if you share. Viewing this after May 6? Visit my homepage to see when the next one will be and/or join my mailing list for practitioners to find out about upcoming social sharing workshop.

Camille's Helpful Links for Practitioners
WEBVTT
00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:03.977
Hi there. Welcome to In the Clinic with Camille. My name is Camille Freeman.
00:00:04.177 --> 00:00:07.717
I'm an herbalist and nutritionist, and in this podcast, I share little tips
00:00:07.717 --> 00:00:09.857
and tidbits that might be helpful for other practitioners.
00:00:10.617 --> 00:00:14.077
I wanted to talk to you today about social sharing workshops.
00:00:15.217 --> 00:00:19.077
I realize that I've been doing these for years, and I've talked about them with
00:00:19.077 --> 00:00:22.017
other people on their podcasts, but I've never talked about it here.
00:00:22.017 --> 00:00:26.417
So I thought I'd share what this is, why I do it, how it's going,
00:00:26.637 --> 00:00:29.457
so that if you wanted to implement something similar, you could,
00:00:29.557 --> 00:00:33.097
or so that you just understand the background, the philosophy behind what I'm
00:00:33.097 --> 00:00:34.217
doing, in case it's helpful.
00:00:34.717 --> 00:00:38.197
All right, so let's start with definitions. What am I talking about social sharing workshops?
00:00:38.817 --> 00:00:45.737
A few times a year, I do workshops, online trainings, what have you.
00:00:45.817 --> 00:00:47.337
They're usually an hour to an hour and a half.
00:00:47.497 --> 00:00:51.717
These are for clinicians, and I set them up so that they are,
00:00:52.630 --> 00:00:56.250
They have a price to them, somewhere between usually $25 and $40.
00:00:57.170 --> 00:01:02.210
But if you are willing to share the workshop with a group, either post it on
00:01:02.210 --> 00:01:04.770
your socials, share it in your newsletter,
00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:09.290
invite your alumni association or your study group or whatever it is,
00:01:09.490 --> 00:01:12.170
if you will share it with a group of people, then you can come for free.
00:01:12.630 --> 00:01:17.490
So that's what I call social sharing. The reasons that I do it are numerous.
00:01:17.490 --> 00:01:22.870
For one thing, I like this as a way to make my work accessible.
00:01:23.050 --> 00:01:31.050
I put a ton, a ton, so much, so much time and effort and energy into my teaching.
00:01:31.290 --> 00:01:36.930
And so I do charge what I think is a pretty reasonable rate for my regular classes.
00:01:36.930 --> 00:01:42.250
But a few times a year, I like to make sure that the price is not a barrier
00:01:42.250 --> 00:01:48.250
for people and that people get a chance to sample my work to come and experience what it's like.
00:01:48.390 --> 00:01:52.050
I feel like it helps people determine if this is the right level for them.
00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:55.150
Sometimes people come and they're like, oh, this is not really where I am.
00:01:55.270 --> 00:01:57.290
This is a little bit more advanced than where I need to be.
00:01:57.410 --> 00:02:00.030
I'm more of a casual, you know, dabbling kind of person.
00:02:00.850 --> 00:02:03.810
Or sometimes people come and they're looking for a more functional approach
00:02:03.810 --> 00:02:05.050
or a more biochemical approach.
00:02:05.670 --> 00:02:08.030
And that's not really, you know, I do have a little bit of that,
00:02:08.090 --> 00:02:09.530
but that's not really what my workshops are about.
00:02:10.250 --> 00:02:14.230
So it helps people to get a feel for it. It helps make them accessible.
00:02:15.430 --> 00:02:19.350
And, of course, the other reason that I do it is because I personally am not
00:02:19.350 --> 00:02:22.130
on social media or very rarely. I'm on LinkedIn.
00:02:22.510 --> 00:02:27.990
But it helps me to have other people share my work with their people.
00:02:28.290 --> 00:02:31.850
Because I do not do social media. I don't do paid advertising.
00:02:32.190 --> 00:02:36.430
Pretty much all of my business, both my clinical work and my mentoring,
00:02:36.630 --> 00:02:41.190
continuing education work, it's all running on word of mouth and my newsletter.
00:02:41.590 --> 00:02:46.150
And so when people sign up for these workshops, if they do the social sharing
00:02:46.150 --> 00:02:48.930
option, they agree to share it.
00:02:49.362 --> 00:02:53.562
In a group of their choosing. And then they are also subscribed to my newsletter
00:02:53.562 --> 00:02:55.042
when they register for the class.
00:02:55.622 --> 00:02:59.282
So that's kind of the trade. You get to come to a workshop for free.
00:02:59.442 --> 00:03:03.262
I give people the recording indefinitely. They don't get it for a limited amount of time.
00:03:03.362 --> 00:03:07.282
It's just, you know, they get the class in full, just the same as everybody
00:03:07.282 --> 00:03:10.522
else who's paid for it or people in Monday Mentoring who get it as part of their program.
00:03:11.642 --> 00:03:14.902
And then they're on my mailing list, and they have shared it with other people
00:03:14.902 --> 00:03:16.122
who might be interested as well.
00:03:17.082 --> 00:03:20.302
So let me talk a little bit about whether this is working.
00:03:20.662 --> 00:03:24.202
Because again, I've been doing this for years, and I've noticed some changes
00:03:24.202 --> 00:03:26.402
over the years and how this is going.
00:03:27.042 --> 00:03:32.122
So the first few times I did this, it was just an experiment.
00:03:32.122 --> 00:03:34.402
I just came up with this because I was like, well, you know.
00:03:35.242 --> 00:03:40.562
How am I going to share my work with other people, since I don't have the time,
00:03:40.762 --> 00:03:44.082
interest, or energy in being here, there, and everywhere on social media?
00:03:44.462 --> 00:03:49.402
And I thought, you know, most of the time people are arriving in my sphere because
00:03:49.402 --> 00:03:51.722
somebody else said, hey, this is really cool, you should check it out.
00:03:52.162 --> 00:03:56.602
So that's how it originated. And back in the day, which was probably,
00:03:56.722 --> 00:04:02.262
I probably first did this in, I don't know, 2019 or 2020, something like that as an experiment.
00:04:02.842 --> 00:04:08.002
And the first year or so, it was incredibly helpful because,
00:04:08.002 --> 00:04:13.642
you know, a couple of people would share it and then there would be a trickle effect where,
00:04:14.122 --> 00:04:17.282
you know, they would reach their people, and then maybe one or two people from
00:04:17.282 --> 00:04:19.022
that orbit would share it with their people.
00:04:19.202 --> 00:04:23.822
And so I would get a good number of new newsletter subscribers and new people
00:04:23.822 --> 00:04:27.082
that were just finding out about my work, and some of them were a good fit and
00:04:27.082 --> 00:04:30.262
interested in finding out more and staying connected and all of that.
00:04:30.442 --> 00:04:34.462
Now, I'm not talking about huge numbers here. I'm talking about maybe at the
00:04:34.462 --> 00:04:40.462
very peak when everything was brand new, I might have 50 new people joining
00:04:40.462 --> 00:04:41.702
my mailing list, which was great.
00:04:41.862 --> 00:04:44.922
I have a pretty small mailing list, so for me that's a really big number.
00:04:44.922 --> 00:04:46.702
I know that's not true for everybody.
00:04:47.582 --> 00:04:49.482
But what I did find is that,
00:04:50.092 --> 00:04:54.192
Over the years, as I kept doing it, again, I only do this three or four times
00:04:54.192 --> 00:04:57.652
a year, but over the years, the impact has been a little bit less.
00:04:57.772 --> 00:05:03.232
I think because the people who are here mostly have already shared similar workshops,
00:05:03.232 --> 00:05:05.592
and the people who wanted to come to them have already signed up.
00:05:05.592 --> 00:05:09.372
But I still do get a bump every time I do this kind of workshop,
00:05:09.572 --> 00:05:15.912
maybe more closer to 15 or 20 people newly finding their way into my orbit.
00:05:16.532 --> 00:05:20.852
So that's pretty good for me, given that I'm not really doing anything else
00:05:20.852 --> 00:05:25.452
overtly to build my list other than, you know, teaching and participating in
00:05:25.452 --> 00:05:28.412
other people's classes and that sort of thing.
00:05:28.532 --> 00:05:33.312
But really, this is my big self-driven strategy that I do. So it's working pretty
00:05:33.312 --> 00:05:36.072
well, but I realized a couple of things.
00:05:36.952 --> 00:05:41.472
Number one, I don't think I've been very explicit about the social sharing and
00:05:41.472 --> 00:05:43.512
how it's designed to be a win-win.
00:05:43.712 --> 00:05:47.552
I realized also when I reviewed the way that I'm describing it,
00:05:47.732 --> 00:05:52.192
I haven't been sharing with people that the social sharing option goes away
00:05:52.192 --> 00:05:54.112
when the live class is over.
00:05:54.112 --> 00:05:57.092
So if people want to do the social
00:05:57.092 --> 00:06:00.392
sharing where they're able to come for free they need to sign up before
00:06:00.392 --> 00:06:03.332
the live class and then after that it becomes paid only
00:06:03.332 --> 00:06:09.592
so i i've just recently decided to kind of redo the format here to make it a
00:06:09.592 --> 00:06:13.712
more clear that there is a little bit of a time limit in terms of when you can
00:06:13.712 --> 00:06:19.572
sign up for this and then b to be more explicit about how i've set this up and
00:06:19.572 --> 00:06:22.512
why I've set it up to be partly community building,
00:06:22.512 --> 00:06:25.952
to make my work accessible, and just so that I get to meet more people.
00:06:26.704 --> 00:06:30.304
One question that I get sometimes about the social sharing, people will say,
00:06:30.424 --> 00:06:33.324
well, Camille, how do you know people are sharing?
00:06:33.584 --> 00:06:36.564
Like, what if they just, because the way I have it set up is it's just a form,
00:06:36.764 --> 00:06:39.604
and the form says, hey, where did you share this?
00:06:40.124 --> 00:06:43.564
And then I ask a few questions about the workshop, they submit it,
00:06:43.644 --> 00:06:47.684
and then when they do, I send them a code to sign up for free for the class.
00:06:47.684 --> 00:06:50.744
So you might be thinking, well, how do you know that they actually shared it?
00:06:50.864 --> 00:06:54.524
Especially if I'm not on Facebook, I'm not on Instagram, I'm not going on there to check.
00:06:54.724 --> 00:06:58.344
If somebody says they shared it on Instagram, I don't go and check if they shared it on Instagram.
00:06:58.924 --> 00:07:02.004
So the way that I know is I don't know.
00:07:03.604 --> 00:07:08.664
Most of the people in my orbit, the people that I'm connected to, are really cool people.
00:07:09.084 --> 00:07:12.364
So I feel that I'm okay to trust people.
00:07:12.804 --> 00:07:16.484
I feel fine with the occasional person lying to me.
00:07:16.604 --> 00:07:20.864
I'm like, you know what, if they want to lie and come to a free class and not
00:07:20.864 --> 00:07:24.884
share it, or, you know, share it with their pretend friend or something like
00:07:24.884 --> 00:07:27.004
that, is that the worst thing in the world?
00:07:27.004 --> 00:07:30.724
No, and I kind of hope that person just won't resonate with my work and won't
00:07:30.724 --> 00:07:34.284
sign up for anything that's paid, which is not a huge loss on my end.
00:07:34.384 --> 00:07:36.484
I'm like, well, I'll have to pay for another newsletter subscriber,
00:07:36.544 --> 00:07:37.284
but that's not a big deal.
00:07:37.464 --> 00:07:39.644
It's fine. Hopefully they'll just unsubscribe eventually.
00:07:40.184 --> 00:07:43.824
Every now and then, somebody fills in the form and I say, where did you share
00:07:43.824 --> 00:07:47.164
this? And they write, I didn't, or I don't want to, or something like that.
00:07:47.264 --> 00:07:51.684
And that, you know, that's a little bit, that kind of gets my goat because I
00:07:51.684 --> 00:07:54.704
do get emails every single time somebody fills out the form because I want to
00:07:54.704 --> 00:07:58.644
see the answers to the questions. I'll ask questions related to the workshop that we're doing.
00:07:59.004 --> 00:08:02.444
So if I see that come through where somebody says I didn't share it,
00:08:02.944 --> 00:08:06.444
then what I do is I go and I remove them from my mailing list.
00:08:06.544 --> 00:08:09.204
I don't take, I don't kick them out of the workshop. I'm like, well, you know what?
00:08:09.484 --> 00:08:11.984
If this is that important to you that you're going to lie to me about it to
00:08:11.984 --> 00:08:15.264
my face, basically, then whatever, have the workshop.
00:08:15.404 --> 00:08:18.724
But I do unsubscribe them from my mailing list because I don't want that kind
00:08:18.724 --> 00:08:20.964
of person. I don't want to stay connected to that.
00:08:21.424 --> 00:08:23.264
So I'm like, great, have the class.
00:08:23.949 --> 00:08:28.289
Be my guest, but let's not stay in touch. And the way that I figure it,
00:08:28.369 --> 00:08:33.889
the energy it would be required to like double check every single person's thing.
00:08:34.089 --> 00:08:36.689
I'm like, no, I would rather just trust that people are good.
00:08:36.849 --> 00:08:41.049
The people I'm connected with understand that there is an exchange.
00:08:41.329 --> 00:08:42.509
Nothing's really, really free.
00:08:42.889 --> 00:08:46.549
And the exchange is like, you're going to get a really great class, really great.
00:08:46.869 --> 00:08:49.729
And all I'm asking you to do is just help spread the word.
00:08:49.829 --> 00:08:52.009
And if you don't want to do that, and you're not comfortable doing that,
00:08:52.069 --> 00:08:54.269
or you feel like you don't really have that many connections,
00:08:54.509 --> 00:08:55.649
then there's a paid option.
00:08:56.209 --> 00:09:00.209
So overall, I feel like it's worked out really well for me. I'm trying this,
00:09:00.449 --> 00:09:03.049
you know, moving forward from here, I'm going to be a little bit more,
00:09:03.229 --> 00:09:07.289
you know, I'm just going to be a little more cognizant of how I'm explaining
00:09:07.289 --> 00:09:09.749
things and making everything more clear.
00:09:10.349 --> 00:09:14.249
So anyway, that's that. You're welcome to try something like this if you want.
00:09:14.369 --> 00:09:17.529
You're welcome to check out the way that I have it set up.
00:09:17.689 --> 00:09:20.569
And if you want to come, I do have the next workshop we're doing.
00:09:20.849 --> 00:09:22.949
We're going to do one on updating your homepage.
00:09:23.609 --> 00:09:28.049
It'll be just a one-hour class. It's on May 6th at noon Eastern time,
00:09:28.229 --> 00:09:32.949
and it is $25, or if you want to share it somewhere, it's free.
00:09:33.717 --> 00:09:36.477
So I'll put the link to that in the show notes if you want to sign up.
00:09:36.557 --> 00:09:40.017
I would love to have you, and I would love for you to share it with other people
00:09:40.017 --> 00:09:41.017
you know who might be interested.
00:09:41.557 --> 00:09:45.277
All right, so if you have any questions about this or anything else that I can
00:09:45.277 --> 00:09:46.517
help you with, please reach out.
00:09:46.737 --> 00:09:50.337
You can go to intheclinic.com, and there's a little area to leave me a message,
00:09:50.357 --> 00:09:53.137
or my website, camillefreeman.com.
00:09:53.517 --> 00:09:56.717
It has right there on the homepage, it'll have anything that's upcoming.
00:09:56.717 --> 00:10:01.837
So if you're listening to this after May 6, 2026, and you're like,
00:10:01.937 --> 00:10:05.517
oh, I still want to see an example of this social sharing, just go to my homepage.
00:10:05.837 --> 00:10:09.757
And if we have one coming up, it'll be right there. And you can go and see an
00:10:09.757 --> 00:10:12.417
example of another similar class.
00:10:12.557 --> 00:10:18.757
We're going to do one on hair loss later that month. And it'll be set up the
00:10:18.757 --> 00:10:22.497
same way. It's a little more expensive to attend just because it's a clinical
00:10:22.497 --> 00:10:24.137
class. It comes with a CEU, et cetera.
00:10:24.297 --> 00:10:29.197
But it'll be set up the same way that you can come for free if you're willing to share it with a group.
00:10:29.837 --> 00:10:32.937
So I'd love to hear your thoughts. I hope you have an amazing day.
00:10:32.937 --> 00:10:35.057
And I will be back to talk to you more soon.
00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:03.977
Hi there. Welcome to In the Clinic with Camille. My name is Camille Freeman.
00:00:04.177 --> 00:00:07.717
I'm an herbalist and nutritionist, and in this podcast, I share little tips
00:00:07.717 --> 00:00:09.857
and tidbits that might be helpful for other practitioners.
00:00:10.617 --> 00:00:14.077
I wanted to talk to you today about social sharing workshops.
00:00:15.217 --> 00:00:19.077
I realize that I've been doing these for years, and I've talked about them with
00:00:19.077 --> 00:00:22.017
other people on their podcasts, but I've never talked about it here.
00:00:22.017 --> 00:00:26.417
So I thought I'd share what this is, why I do it, how it's going,
00:00:26.637 --> 00:00:29.457
so that if you wanted to implement something similar, you could,
00:00:29.557 --> 00:00:33.097
or so that you just understand the background, the philosophy behind what I'm
00:00:33.097 --> 00:00:34.217
doing, in case it's helpful.
00:00:34.717 --> 00:00:38.197
All right, so let's start with definitions. What am I talking about social sharing workshops?
00:00:38.817 --> 00:00:45.737
A few times a year, I do workshops, online trainings, what have you.
00:00:45.817 --> 00:00:47.337
They're usually an hour to an hour and a half.
00:00:47.497 --> 00:00:51.717
These are for clinicians, and I set them up so that they are,
00:00:52.630 --> 00:00:56.250
They have a price to them, somewhere between usually $25 and $40.
00:00:57.170 --> 00:01:02.210
But if you are willing to share the workshop with a group, either post it on
00:01:02.210 --> 00:01:04.770
your socials, share it in your newsletter,
00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:09.290
invite your alumni association or your study group or whatever it is,
00:01:09.490 --> 00:01:12.170
if you will share it with a group of people, then you can come for free.
00:01:12.630 --> 00:01:17.490
So that's what I call social sharing. The reasons that I do it are numerous.
00:01:17.490 --> 00:01:22.870
For one thing, I like this as a way to make my work accessible.
00:01:23.050 --> 00:01:31.050
I put a ton, a ton, so much, so much time and effort and energy into my teaching.
00:01:31.290 --> 00:01:36.930
And so I do charge what I think is a pretty reasonable rate for my regular classes.
00:01:36.930 --> 00:01:42.250
But a few times a year, I like to make sure that the price is not a barrier
00:01:42.250 --> 00:01:48.250
for people and that people get a chance to sample my work to come and experience what it's like.
00:01:48.390 --> 00:01:52.050
I feel like it helps people determine if this is the right level for them.
00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:55.150
Sometimes people come and they're like, oh, this is not really where I am.
00:01:55.270 --> 00:01:57.290
This is a little bit more advanced than where I need to be.
00:01:57.410 --> 00:02:00.030
I'm more of a casual, you know, dabbling kind of person.
00:02:00.850 --> 00:02:03.810
Or sometimes people come and they're looking for a more functional approach
00:02:03.810 --> 00:02:05.050
or a more biochemical approach.
00:02:05.670 --> 00:02:08.030
And that's not really, you know, I do have a little bit of that,
00:02:08.090 --> 00:02:09.530
but that's not really what my workshops are about.
00:02:10.250 --> 00:02:14.230
So it helps people to get a feel for it. It helps make them accessible.
00:02:15.430 --> 00:02:19.350
And, of course, the other reason that I do it is because I personally am not
00:02:19.350 --> 00:02:22.130
on social media or very rarely. I'm on LinkedIn.
00:02:22.510 --> 00:02:27.990
But it helps me to have other people share my work with their people.
00:02:28.290 --> 00:02:31.850
Because I do not do social media. I don't do paid advertising.
00:02:32.190 --> 00:02:36.430
Pretty much all of my business, both my clinical work and my mentoring,
00:02:36.630 --> 00:02:41.190
continuing education work, it's all running on word of mouth and my newsletter.
00:02:41.590 --> 00:02:46.150
And so when people sign up for these workshops, if they do the social sharing
00:02:46.150 --> 00:02:48.930
option, they agree to share it.
00:02:49.362 --> 00:02:53.562
In a group of their choosing. And then they are also subscribed to my newsletter
00:02:53.562 --> 00:02:55.042
when they register for the class.
00:02:55.622 --> 00:02:59.282
So that's kind of the trade. You get to come to a workshop for free.
00:02:59.442 --> 00:03:03.262
I give people the recording indefinitely. They don't get it for a limited amount of time.
00:03:03.362 --> 00:03:07.282
It's just, you know, they get the class in full, just the same as everybody
00:03:07.282 --> 00:03:10.522
else who's paid for it or people in Monday Mentoring who get it as part of their program.
00:03:11.642 --> 00:03:14.902
And then they're on my mailing list, and they have shared it with other people
00:03:14.902 --> 00:03:16.122
who might be interested as well.
00:03:17.082 --> 00:03:20.302
So let me talk a little bit about whether this is working.
00:03:20.662 --> 00:03:24.202
Because again, I've been doing this for years, and I've noticed some changes
00:03:24.202 --> 00:03:26.402
over the years and how this is going.
00:03:27.042 --> 00:03:32.122
So the first few times I did this, it was just an experiment.
00:03:32.122 --> 00:03:34.402
I just came up with this because I was like, well, you know.
00:03:35.242 --> 00:03:40.562
How am I going to share my work with other people, since I don't have the time,
00:03:40.762 --> 00:03:44.082
interest, or energy in being here, there, and everywhere on social media?
00:03:44.462 --> 00:03:49.402
And I thought, you know, most of the time people are arriving in my sphere because
00:03:49.402 --> 00:03:51.722
somebody else said, hey, this is really cool, you should check it out.
00:03:52.162 --> 00:03:56.602
So that's how it originated. And back in the day, which was probably,
00:03:56.722 --> 00:04:02.262
I probably first did this in, I don't know, 2019 or 2020, something like that as an experiment.
00:04:02.842 --> 00:04:08.002
And the first year or so, it was incredibly helpful because,
00:04:08.002 --> 00:04:13.642
you know, a couple of people would share it and then there would be a trickle effect where,
00:04:14.122 --> 00:04:17.282
you know, they would reach their people, and then maybe one or two people from
00:04:17.282 --> 00:04:19.022
that orbit would share it with their people.
00:04:19.202 --> 00:04:23.822
And so I would get a good number of new newsletter subscribers and new people
00:04:23.822 --> 00:04:27.082
that were just finding out about my work, and some of them were a good fit and
00:04:27.082 --> 00:04:30.262
interested in finding out more and staying connected and all of that.
00:04:30.442 --> 00:04:34.462
Now, I'm not talking about huge numbers here. I'm talking about maybe at the
00:04:34.462 --> 00:04:40.462
very peak when everything was brand new, I might have 50 new people joining
00:04:40.462 --> 00:04:41.702
my mailing list, which was great.
00:04:41.862 --> 00:04:44.922
I have a pretty small mailing list, so for me that's a really big number.
00:04:44.922 --> 00:04:46.702
I know that's not true for everybody.
00:04:47.582 --> 00:04:49.482
But what I did find is that,
00:04:50.092 --> 00:04:54.192
Over the years, as I kept doing it, again, I only do this three or four times
00:04:54.192 --> 00:04:57.652
a year, but over the years, the impact has been a little bit less.
00:04:57.772 --> 00:05:03.232
I think because the people who are here mostly have already shared similar workshops,
00:05:03.232 --> 00:05:05.592
and the people who wanted to come to them have already signed up.
00:05:05.592 --> 00:05:09.372
But I still do get a bump every time I do this kind of workshop,
00:05:09.572 --> 00:05:15.912
maybe more closer to 15 or 20 people newly finding their way into my orbit.
00:05:16.532 --> 00:05:20.852
So that's pretty good for me, given that I'm not really doing anything else
00:05:20.852 --> 00:05:25.452
overtly to build my list other than, you know, teaching and participating in
00:05:25.452 --> 00:05:28.412
other people's classes and that sort of thing.
00:05:28.532 --> 00:05:33.312
But really, this is my big self-driven strategy that I do. So it's working pretty
00:05:33.312 --> 00:05:36.072
well, but I realized a couple of things.
00:05:36.952 --> 00:05:41.472
Number one, I don't think I've been very explicit about the social sharing and
00:05:41.472 --> 00:05:43.512
how it's designed to be a win-win.
00:05:43.712 --> 00:05:47.552
I realized also when I reviewed the way that I'm describing it,
00:05:47.732 --> 00:05:52.192
I haven't been sharing with people that the social sharing option goes away
00:05:52.192 --> 00:05:54.112
when the live class is over.
00:05:54.112 --> 00:05:57.092
So if people want to do the social
00:05:57.092 --> 00:06:00.392
sharing where they're able to come for free they need to sign up before
00:06:00.392 --> 00:06:03.332
the live class and then after that it becomes paid only
00:06:03.332 --> 00:06:09.592
so i i've just recently decided to kind of redo the format here to make it a
00:06:09.592 --> 00:06:13.712
more clear that there is a little bit of a time limit in terms of when you can
00:06:13.712 --> 00:06:19.572
sign up for this and then b to be more explicit about how i've set this up and
00:06:19.572 --> 00:06:22.512
why I've set it up to be partly community building,
00:06:22.512 --> 00:06:25.952
to make my work accessible, and just so that I get to meet more people.
00:06:26.704 --> 00:06:30.304
One question that I get sometimes about the social sharing, people will say,
00:06:30.424 --> 00:06:33.324
well, Camille, how do you know people are sharing?
00:06:33.584 --> 00:06:36.564
Like, what if they just, because the way I have it set up is it's just a form,
00:06:36.764 --> 00:06:39.604
and the form says, hey, where did you share this?
00:06:40.124 --> 00:06:43.564
And then I ask a few questions about the workshop, they submit it,
00:06:43.644 --> 00:06:47.684
and then when they do, I send them a code to sign up for free for the class.
00:06:47.684 --> 00:06:50.744
So you might be thinking, well, how do you know that they actually shared it?
00:06:50.864 --> 00:06:54.524
Especially if I'm not on Facebook, I'm not on Instagram, I'm not going on there to check.
00:06:54.724 --> 00:06:58.344
If somebody says they shared it on Instagram, I don't go and check if they shared it on Instagram.
00:06:58.924 --> 00:07:02.004
So the way that I know is I don't know.
00:07:03.604 --> 00:07:08.664
Most of the people in my orbit, the people that I'm connected to, are really cool people.
00:07:09.084 --> 00:07:12.364
So I feel that I'm okay to trust people.
00:07:12.804 --> 00:07:16.484
I feel fine with the occasional person lying to me.
00:07:16.604 --> 00:07:20.864
I'm like, you know what, if they want to lie and come to a free class and not
00:07:20.864 --> 00:07:24.884
share it, or, you know, share it with their pretend friend or something like
00:07:24.884 --> 00:07:27.004
that, is that the worst thing in the world?
00:07:27.004 --> 00:07:30.724
No, and I kind of hope that person just won't resonate with my work and won't
00:07:30.724 --> 00:07:34.284
sign up for anything that's paid, which is not a huge loss on my end.
00:07:34.384 --> 00:07:36.484
I'm like, well, I'll have to pay for another newsletter subscriber,
00:07:36.544 --> 00:07:37.284
but that's not a big deal.
00:07:37.464 --> 00:07:39.644
It's fine. Hopefully they'll just unsubscribe eventually.
00:07:40.184 --> 00:07:43.824
Every now and then, somebody fills in the form and I say, where did you share
00:07:43.824 --> 00:07:47.164
this? And they write, I didn't, or I don't want to, or something like that.
00:07:47.264 --> 00:07:51.684
And that, you know, that's a little bit, that kind of gets my goat because I
00:07:51.684 --> 00:07:54.704
do get emails every single time somebody fills out the form because I want to
00:07:54.704 --> 00:07:58.644
see the answers to the questions. I'll ask questions related to the workshop that we're doing.
00:07:59.004 --> 00:08:02.444
So if I see that come through where somebody says I didn't share it,
00:08:02.944 --> 00:08:06.444
then what I do is I go and I remove them from my mailing list.
00:08:06.544 --> 00:08:09.204
I don't take, I don't kick them out of the workshop. I'm like, well, you know what?
00:08:09.484 --> 00:08:11.984
If this is that important to you that you're going to lie to me about it to
00:08:11.984 --> 00:08:15.264
my face, basically, then whatever, have the workshop.
00:08:15.404 --> 00:08:18.724
But I do unsubscribe them from my mailing list because I don't want that kind
00:08:18.724 --> 00:08:20.964
of person. I don't want to stay connected to that.
00:08:21.424 --> 00:08:23.264
So I'm like, great, have the class.
00:08:23.949 --> 00:08:28.289
Be my guest, but let's not stay in touch. And the way that I figure it,
00:08:28.369 --> 00:08:33.889
the energy it would be required to like double check every single person's thing.
00:08:34.089 --> 00:08:36.689
I'm like, no, I would rather just trust that people are good.
00:08:36.849 --> 00:08:41.049
The people I'm connected with understand that there is an exchange.
00:08:41.329 --> 00:08:42.509
Nothing's really, really free.
00:08:42.889 --> 00:08:46.549
And the exchange is like, you're going to get a really great class, really great.
00:08:46.869 --> 00:08:49.729
And all I'm asking you to do is just help spread the word.
00:08:49.829 --> 00:08:52.009
And if you don't want to do that, and you're not comfortable doing that,
00:08:52.069 --> 00:08:54.269
or you feel like you don't really have that many connections,
00:08:54.509 --> 00:08:55.649
then there's a paid option.
00:08:56.209 --> 00:09:00.209
So overall, I feel like it's worked out really well for me. I'm trying this,
00:09:00.449 --> 00:09:03.049
you know, moving forward from here, I'm going to be a little bit more,
00:09:03.229 --> 00:09:07.289
you know, I'm just going to be a little more cognizant of how I'm explaining
00:09:07.289 --> 00:09:09.749
things and making everything more clear.
00:09:10.349 --> 00:09:14.249
So anyway, that's that. You're welcome to try something like this if you want.
00:09:14.369 --> 00:09:17.529
You're welcome to check out the way that I have it set up.
00:09:17.689 --> 00:09:20.569
And if you want to come, I do have the next workshop we're doing.
00:09:20.849 --> 00:09:22.949
We're going to do one on updating your homepage.
00:09:23.609 --> 00:09:28.049
It'll be just a one-hour class. It's on May 6th at noon Eastern time,
00:09:28.229 --> 00:09:32.949
and it is $25, or if you want to share it somewhere, it's free.
00:09:33.717 --> 00:09:36.477
So I'll put the link to that in the show notes if you want to sign up.
00:09:36.557 --> 00:09:40.017
I would love to have you, and I would love for you to share it with other people
00:09:40.017 --> 00:09:41.017
you know who might be interested.
00:09:41.557 --> 00:09:45.277
All right, so if you have any questions about this or anything else that I can
00:09:45.277 --> 00:09:46.517
help you with, please reach out.
00:09:46.737 --> 00:09:50.337
You can go to intheclinic.com, and there's a little area to leave me a message,
00:09:50.357 --> 00:09:53.137
or my website, camillefreeman.com.
00:09:53.517 --> 00:09:56.717
It has right there on the homepage, it'll have anything that's upcoming.
00:09:56.717 --> 00:10:01.837
So if you're listening to this after May 6, 2026, and you're like,
00:10:01.937 --> 00:10:05.517
oh, I still want to see an example of this social sharing, just go to my homepage.
00:10:05.837 --> 00:10:09.757
And if we have one coming up, it'll be right there. And you can go and see an
00:10:09.757 --> 00:10:12.417
example of another similar class.
00:10:12.557 --> 00:10:18.757
We're going to do one on hair loss later that month. And it'll be set up the
00:10:18.757 --> 00:10:22.497
same way. It's a little more expensive to attend just because it's a clinical
00:10:22.497 --> 00:10:24.137
class. It comes with a CEU, et cetera.
00:10:24.297 --> 00:10:29.197
