About this FieldTrip

We love to create but hate to publish.

Making something new is all experimentation and possibility and exploration. Super yes to every step of that.

Publishing means promoting which means venturing into the market to show our wares. An entirely different experience.

We all release work with hopes that other people will like and even want to purchase it. That generally does not happen without some push from us, which comes more naturally to some than others.

How do we do this?

Come together with Yancey Strickler, author and cofounder of Metalabel and Kickstarter, and your fellow creators to explore promotional principles for everyone — including people who hate promotion.

Please note: This FieldTrip offers optional breakout rooms. If you do not feel like joining one for any reason, no worries! We'll make sure you have something to do introspectively in the main room.


Agenda

  • We'll start by hearing a series of promotional principles shared by Yancey Strickler for 20 minutes.
  • Then you'll move into breakout rooms where you and your peers will talk together about your experiences with promotion.
  • For the final 30 minutes, we'll have a group discussion about what we've learned and tips we can use.

What to expect

Immersive experience!

Participants engage in activities where they're part of the action, such as music events, sound baths, co-working sessions, or movement classes.

Optional breakout rooms!

This FieldTrip offers optional breakout rooms. If you do not feel like joining one for any reason, no worries! We'll make sure you have something to do introspectively in the main room.

Optional afterparty!

Bring your extrovert self if you want to meet new people and chat after.

It will be recorded!

The recording will be shared within 24 hours in the follow up email for a 7-day window, and available at the top of this page. Make sure to register for access!

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!Ā 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.Ā  Try ā€œYes! Andā€¦ā€ in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
