Roll call! Everyone here?

Q. Hi. I'm at a loss on where to find some suitable pictures for the walls. Paintings, prints. Aside from waiting for the annual local art show, could you recommend any other places to find reasonably priced art?

Hi! There is a button marked ‘Suppliers & Resources’— I add all my recommendations there! If you have any great finds you’d love to share with our community too, please let me know and we can add them to our list.

Q. Hello Sarah, I am wanting to schedule a time for our 1 hr chat…

For those of you who purchased the option to chat with me for an hour, wait till week 4, when the Grad Shop opens up. Use the code to grab your hour free of charge (if you paid for it at sign up), but if you didn’t, and you would love to chat with me for an hour (I would!) — it can all be purchased, and subsequently arranged via that portal.

Q. Hi Sarah, I am loving your class so much - I even wake up thinking about it, it truly is a MASTERCLASS :) I enjoy reading students questions & your invaluable answers - so my next question is once myself and everyone else finishes this class, will these & future questions and your informative answers still be available? x

Hi! This is a good question. I have had the absolutely pleasure of teaching 9 face-to-face classes at the time of writing this, so I know with certainty that pretty much every question now that has ever come up has been answered, both online and face-to-face. So this does feel like a complete body of work. While I can’t keep the class open after your 15 weeks, what I will do is, IF any very pertinent new information or questions come up, I will send them out in the graduate newsletter.

Q. I am wondering, if it's possible to have an extension for accessing the online portal?

So, we use third party software to manage memberships of our classroom, and as of now, we don’t have the ability to extend memberships. The class takes between 1 - 5 weeks to work through, so we have given an extra 10 weeks for ‘life’. I ask that you start with this knowledge in mind and plan your time in the classroom well, I dearly want you all to get everything you can out of it and then go out and conquer your worlds!

Failing that, and life being life, towards the end of the class you will get the option to extend it after your 15 membership expires for $20 AUD p/w which you can then cancel when you are done. All bases covered, don’t stress — just enjoy!

Q. Can you tell me what date my subscription expires? I don't want to miss out as I loved everything so far. Thanks in advance!

Hello! For everyone reading this for the first time, once you make you student account — pop a note in your diary in 15 weeks time so you can keep track of your enrolment. Once you are inside the classroom we don’t have a way (yet) for you to track your expiration day by day, however, you will get sent an email a few days prior to your classroom ending to let you know, and another once it actually has expired.

Q. Hello Sarah! I only have a week left to complete my hosting class, which I have enjoyed very much until I hit the (do a web page part). My brain became partially paralysed as I am so not good at computers. Yes I can do the basics, email, google all of that but doing a web page is so out of my head space. Does this mean I am not a graduate if I do not do the web page?

Hello! Gosh of course not! You are a graduate if you use any part of this class, and if you are lucky enough to have someone make a web page for you, that is amazing! Go for it!

Q. Can I share my login with a friend or family member.

I’m sorry! We have worked really hard to make sure this content is exclusively available to our paying students and I want to do everything I can to protect each and every student who has given up a lot to be here and make it happen for themselves. Without getting into too much detail, (we monitor IP’s and blocked IP’s) it is possible to tell whether or not sign-ins have been shared and are happening from multiple locations — it really is one log-in per member. However! Once you have learned what you learned, I am so happy for you to share this knowledge and how you understand it with your friends and family. It is such a pleasure to watch you go out and help those around you. If you’d like to read a little more, please feel free to re-read the eLearning Course License Agreement you agreed to and have a look over our Terms and Conditions. Thank you for your integrity.

Q. You've probably thought of it already, but if you were to consider a Facebook group for grads and participants so we can actually talk to each other, that would be awesome.

We can do you one better! We now have a dedicated Hosting Masterclass Forum, which you can join here. Give us 24 hours to approve your membership and you are away! We send out weekly digests on Sunday to your email once you are a member, so no need to check in for updates on the topic you are interested in.

Q. Hi, It's fabulous by the way, just a quick question: I'm confused about the first task (which comes in the first chapter) - posting a photo on Instagram of my desk is clear - but its not clear whether or not this is part of my business already and I ought to be posting under my professional instagram profile (which I am not clear yet how to set up - whether it be creative or business or personal) or if I'm just to use my personal profile for now... I'm wondering if these posts will help lure people to the business if I use a business profile for this?

Hello, and thank you! And welcome! So all the way through this class, there are various tasks for you to complete, or if it doesn’t fit for you, don’t (we are all in different project stages and life situations here), — they are absolutely not mandatory so please don’t worry about ticking everything off.

Perhaps make a judgement call for you if your musings and experiments might be more suited to your personal account, and anything a little more polished once you have your confidence up down the track, can live on your professional account.

The second part of your questions, we find that posting and using the class hashtags initially helps connect you to like minded students of our hosting community where lovely connections, friendships and support is formed. Further down your journey you’ll find that it will help to grow your business with cross posting support from your peers about you and your property — we are a sharing and caring bunch!

Q. Hi Sarah , love the course so far! Was wondering, do we fill in the workbook and submit it, or is there any exam style assignment we need to submit at the end of the course.

Hello! Glad you love it! The class is entirely self directed, and also up to you to complete any exercises or questions. No need to submit anything or pass any tests. The work you put in will be the result you personally get in your business at the end of this class. Much love and good luck!

Q. Hi Sarah, really looking forward to diving deep into the content of the Masterclass :) However, I haven't purchased a property yet and what I've seen so far in the workbook, really only applies to people who have bought their properties?

Really looking forward to teaching you! No not at all, in fact — all our students who have properties kick themselves and congratulate students who dive into this course before they buy — you’ll see as you work through!

We ask students in your position to just work on a pretend “dream project” … for you it’s about learning the process and skills, rather than implementing them. Your workbook and notes will guide you once you find your project! And, as a bonus — there is less work for you to do — just focus on learning, understanding and enjoying!
