Do you want to be a Foundation Member?

Thanks for staying engaged and wanting to hear how you can help us initially get willowcollege to launch date and then help others learn. I have explained our journey to get to this point. If you have missed that please visit  interiordezine.com to willowcollege.com and you can watch or read it there.

We are very excited about Willow College and how it will be life changing for those who use it to upskill their interior design knowledge and grow a career or use it for a hobby and interest for themselves.
I have an example here from Miracle Goodhead as to how interiordezine.com has changed his life in Nigeria. I was on facebook and we had a live chat and it was wonderful to read the confidence in his words and knowing that we had helped him get there.
Miracle now employs other people in his company in Nigeria and they will be some of the first students offered sponsorship from us to help him grow his business and the knowledge of his employees. Here is what Miracle wrote to me as a testimonial.

I have discovered another side of me since completing the Interior Design, Color, Curtains and Drapery online course at interiordezine. At first it seem strange, as it was my first time studying online but gradually i keyed in. I was able to do things at my own pace and study around my full time work and social life.
I have always been interested in interior spaces and how to make them work better since my college days where i started as a freelance painter. This was the perfect course to study from home to improve my abilities and obtain the required skills to create new spaces that are special and functional.
My tutor, Lee & Chris Brown was available to answer every question I had, quickly and concisely. This made me confident in completing each assignment, which made it fun and also made me look forward to reading the additional emails sent by Lee Brown as she often share her personal work experiences through her blog which gave me the opportunity to learn from her mistakes and discoveries as well.
I found all three courses interesting and have learnt so much not only about the history of interior design but design techniques, procedures, decoration and color etc. Right now as i write this on the comfort of my sofa, I can boast of jobs (both commercial and residential) that i have executed with great joy.
In fact, i recently met with a client (referred by another client I’ve worked for) who is requiring my services to design and decorate his new building. I am extremely excited and have the confidence from this course to complete the job successfully.
This course has opened my eyes to all the things that make up a space. I am now constantly looking at my surroundings and observing every space I’m in. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who has a passion for Interior Design as it provides all the information to acquire the skills to make a space unique as well as functional.

I have another student that we received an unsolicited email from quite early on in the life of interiordezine.com. We talk about it all the time in the office, it is from Janice. Janice has taken what we provided and used it to better the lives of others less fortunate.
We were so proud of her, it bought tears to our eyes and it still does every time we read it. Its wonderful to know that there are really generous people out there with their time and knowledge, using it to help others. Here’s Janice’s email.

I am so very pleased that I found your web site and signed up for the e-course. The fact that you provide the course free helped me tremendously because at this time I do not have the money to pay for courses.
Because of the knowledge I gained through your course, I am putting together a lesson plan to teach women in homeless shelters and those who are getting their first place, how to decorate and redo used pieces to make their places look uniform and give them a sense of accomplishment to keep them inspired to keep moving toward whatever their goals are.
Once again, thank you and when I start my own REAL business, I will send you pictures, etc. Please keep providing your service, there are probably thousands of people you are inspiring that you do not know about.

These are students who have benefited from the courses at interioridezine.com. A big reason for our success is the fact that it is free and easily accessible. We don’t want to lose the feel good factor in our business and we can’t keep everything free anymore.
I just want to reassure you that interiordezine.com will continue to stay online and be available for you for free, we just won’t be adding anything new to it, but for those of you that want and need more willowcollege will be perfect for you.

Here’s how you can help us get to the next step of funding the completion of Willow College. You don’t have to help us but we would be very grateful if you can as we have so much we want to achieve and we now realize we can’t do it on our own.

Help Option Number One – this is the best way you can help us and the one that you get the most benefit out of personally. You can be part of the funding campaign and as part of our existing interiordezine.com community you get your own special link to the funding option that gives you Foundation Member Status with a long term discounted subscription rate that is not available to the general public, and from time to time we will have special offers for foundation members, that’s because we value your loyalty. Foundation Member 1 Month, Foundation Member 3 Months, Foundation Member 1 Year

This option is definitely worth looking into at  Foundation Member 1 Month, Foundation Member 3 Months, Foundation Member 1 Year as we won’t repeat the offers at these rates once we have launched Willow College to the public. The old saying “first in, best dressed” comes to mind here.

Help Option Number Two – If you can’t assist financially, we understand, but if you still have time for social media, you can share or tweets, Facebook posts, LinkedIn posts and provide comments. This is totally achievable and no cost to you involved, only your time. You can tell your friends about us – share via word of mouth, social media or email our funding campaign – especially if they love interior design. Anything to help get the word out about Willow College would be gratefully accepted. Visit indiegogo.com  see image below on how you can easily share our campaign from the website.

We can’t wait to launch Willow College and get you on board to learn in a more fun and interactive way. We are loving putting it together, Chris didn’t realize that there was so much involved in curtain design as he put the information into the system on the new platform, he’s now going around the house suggesting what we need in the future for our window treatments.
He is now a Curtain expert. Anyway, if he is enthusiastic, I am sure that you will be too. We have shown a few friends how it works and they’re chasing us to get it finished so they can get started – no pressure! We hope you had a go at the quiz we sent you to last email, so you got an idea of how some of the interaction works – if not you can find it here.

So for now, I’m back to writing and loading more great lessons into our new system. Thanks for watching and reading – together we will make Willow College happen, you can become a  Foundation Member 1 Month, Foundation Member 3 Months, Foundation Member 1 Year

 

We are crowdfunding now to get WillowCollege up and running. Please visit Indiegogo.com from the links below and take a look at the great deals you can get by coming on board before we launch.
