The Biz Buzz is Tennille’s Inside Scoop, along with membership to The Classroom for online brainstorming. The Classroom is an interactive community designed to hold online lessons and discussions (set up like a small forum).

TENNILLE’S INSIDE SCOOP
This area of The Classroom is updated regularly as I create new tools for my own business. You can find .psd templates for my:

• Investment Guide
• Order Guide
• Client Trifold
• Digital Orders
• Referral Cards
• Business Cards
• Gift Certificates
• …and more!

In addition you’ll have access to wording and details for my:

• Client Emails
• Client Information Site
• Baby Plan

I’ve also added samples of my:

• Newsletters
• Online Forms
• Checklists
• Workflows

MEMBERSHIP TO THE CLASSROOM
Discussion topics in The Classroom are posted by me, other members of The Classroom, and Mind Your Own Business students. You retain access to The Classroom at all times – there is no expiration to your membership. You can post as much as you like, and as often as you like. I really believe that the more you put into things, the more you get out of things! I take a mentoring approach and participate regularly in The Classroom discussions.

Benefit from access to the following areas of The Classroom:

GENERAL BUSINESS QUESTIONS – Need feedback or advice? Want to brainstorm? Interested in what issues other photographers face with their businesses, how to handle business opportunities, how to word something, or where to begin a project? This area of The Classroom has endless opportunities for help and ideas!

GENERAL PHOTOGRAPHY QUESTIONS – While the focus of The Classroom is on the business of photography, there is a section to ask other photography related questions. Share or browse images for inspiration, or ask technical questions if you like.

SHARING – Business ideas or other tools and templates are shared by me, other members of The Biz Buzz, and Mind Your Own Business students. If you have a creation you want to share, here’s where to put it!

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
Classroom Vendors – a section of The Classroom where vendors post discounts, specials, and prizes.

Guest Speakers – a section of The Classroom where guest speakers will come in to share their knowledge and allow you to pick their brain on a variety of topics that affect our businesses!

Upgrade to the Mind Your Own Business Online Course and Mentoring – if you decide at a later date to enroll in the MYOB course and mentoring program, you can always upgrade your enrollment in The Biz Buzz to the MYOB program for a pro-rated fee.

ENROLLMENT
The Biz Buzz offers open enrollment so that you can join at any time. You can download the items shared in Tennille’s Inside Scoop once your enrollment process is complete. I do recommend you join in on the discussions in The Classroom to gain the full benefits of this opportunity.
