Welcome to Platform University
and the Advance Your Reach Family.
Congratulations for making the decision to get serious about building your platform!
There’s never been a better, or more urgent time, to get your message out to the people who need it the most, and we’re here to help you make it happen.
If you’re starting from scratch you’re in the right place because we have strategies and systems in place to help you set up all the foundational elements of a successful and profitable platform.
I know it can feel a bit daunting at first, but don’t worry, because we’ve got you. Our training curriculum will help you know what each piece of the platform puzzle is.
It will explain what to do,
how to do it,
and why it’s important.
For example – our Jumpstart Program will help you start from scratch and work in a pattern of 21 day cycles, with focused objectives each week, along with a like-minded group of your peers working on the same thing at the same time.
You have weekly checklists, and hands-on workshops where we get face-to-face on Zoom to you brainstorm, give you feedback, and problem-solve any areas where you may feel confused or stuck. I’ll give you more information about Jumpstart and some other programs in another area.
If you’ve already been working on your platform but haven’t been getting the results you’d hoped for, or realize you’ve pieced your platform together like a patchwork quilt that may be missing some pieces – no worries! We can help you fill in the gaps and optimize everything for better results.
I’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s available for you as a part of Platform University.
But, first things first…
- I strongly encourage you to get involved with our active Student Success Community.
That’s where all the action is happening, including our programs, events, fun challenges, and other great helps. It’s the key that can make all the difference for you.
- Once you connect with the Community and you’re inside, you’ll want to look for the Program in the left side menu titled, “Get Started Here”.
In that special program area I’ll show you how to navigate everything, and introduce you to what’s available, along with some next steps. - Right now you’re on the main membership site. The Student Success Community lives on another site, which you’ll see how to access below.
Here’s what you need to do next:
- After reading this, scroll to the bottom and click the big button labeled “Dashboard”.
- On the Dashboard, look in the top menu and click on “Community”
- You’ll be prompted to create a free account in Mighty Networks, which will allow you to participate in our private Student Success Community
It takes less than a minute and you’ll only need to do that the first time you go to the Community. After that you’ll be able to click into the Community directly.
If you have any problems getting connected, you can reach out for help at support@platformuniversity.com.
The team and I can’t wait to meet you and start working with you to achieve your platform goals.
I’ll see you in the Community!
