Online Writing Training

online writing training

Online Writing Training offers online writing and grammar courses for individuals and organisations. The courses for organisations can be tailored based on your style guide. Writing is an essential business skill and these courses will help you improve your writing. Learn in your own time from anywhere in the world Created by Mary Morel, the courses are easy to fit into your busy schedule because each module is concise and self-contained. You can dip in and out when you have 15 minutes to spare. The courses are in Australian English, but the principles of good writing and grammar are universal. American users just have to accept a few spelling differences (organisation vs organization). Thoroughly modern online courses In 2018, I reviewed and updated all my original courses. They now include e-books, information sheets, videos, podcasts, quizzes and worksheets. The Write to Govern course also includes a copy of my book. To help you improve both your writing and grammar, I have created a Business Writing and Grammar Bundle. Normally A$790 for both courses, the price for the bundle is A$553, saving you A$237 (30%). I created this bundle because many users were completing the grammar course and then registering for the business writing one. (I offer a 30% discount when you buy a second course.) Why not register for an online course now? When you register for a course, you receive instant access for an unlimited time period. When you finish the course, you can download a certificate of completion. I also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if the course isn’t for you. Mary Morel Mary Morel I, Mary Morel, founded Online Writing Training to help people develop their writing skills and feel more confident about their writing. I have worked with words for most of my career – as a secondary school teacher, freelance writer, corporate trainer and author. My non-fiction books are Promote Your Business, Talk Up Your Business and Write to Govern. The first two were published by Allen & Unwin and I self-published the third. What I love about writing is that there’s always more to learn. Becoming a grammar expert I did not set out to become a grammar expert, but when I started writing a monthly e-newsletter over 15 years ago, people asked me grammar questions I couldn’t answer. I did a grammar paper at university, but don’t recall learning grammar at school. The Grammar, Punctuation and Usage course is the result of years of research and answering questions. Grammar can be complex, but I’ve tried to make the course practical and relevant. Becoming a board paper specialist I started specialising in teaching board papers within organisations in 2007. I successfully completed the company directors course at the Australian Institute of Company Directors and facilitated workshops for the Governance Institute of Australia for several years. I’ve written two editions of Write to Govern. The first edition was influenced by theory; the second was based on years of reading board papers and seeing the same sorts of challenges for writers.

A DETAILED GUIDE TO AFFILIATE MARKETING TRACKER: WHY I CHOOSE UPPROMOTE AFFILIATE MARKETING SOFTWARE Affiliate marketing is a powerful strategy for driving sales, expanding brand reach, and boosting revenue. However, managing affiliate campaigns effectively can be a daunting task without the right tools. As someone who's worked with affiliate programs for quite some time, I can confidently say that using an affiliate marketing tracker is one of the best ways to streamline the process and ensure that affiliates are properly compensated for their efforts. In this article, I will discuss the importance of affiliate marketing trackers, what they do, and why Affiliate software with fraud prevention [https://uppromote.com/] has been my go-to tool for managing and tracking affiliate marketing campaigns. WHAT IS AN AFFILIATE MARKETING TRACKER? An affiliate marketing tracker is a software tool designed to monitor and track the performance of affiliate links, campaigns, and affiliates themselves. The primary function of an affiliate marketing tracker is to provide detailed analytics about clicks, conversions, sales, and other relevant metrics associated with each affiliate’s performance. These metrics help affiliate managers understand which affiliates are driving results and which campaigns are performing best. By using an affiliate marketing tracker, businesses can: * Monitor clicks: Track how many people click on an affiliate’s unique tracking link. * Track conversions: See how many of those clicks turn into sales or leads. * Calculate commissions: Ensure that affiliates are rewarded based on actual performance. * Optimize campaigns: Adjust marketing strategies based on real-time data. Affiliate marketing trackers also allow businesses to track conversions across multiple platforms, ensuring they never miss out on any data related to affiliate sales, which ultimately helps in making informed decisions. WHY AFFILIATE MARKETING TRACKERS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR SUCCESS Affiliate marketing can be incredibly profitable, but it’s crucial to have accurate and real-time tracking to ensure that all affiliates are properly compensated, campaigns are optimized, and results are maximized. Here's why having an affiliate marketing tracker is essential: 1. REAL-TIME PERFORMANCE INSIGHTS One of the biggest advantages of using an affiliate marketing tracker like UpPromote is the ability to monitor affiliate performance in real-time. Instead of waiting for end-of-month reports or manually checking each affiliate’s stats, I can instantly see how well my affiliates are performing. With UpPromote, the dashboard gives me immediate access to key metrics like click-through rates, conversion rates, and the number of sales generated by each affiliate. This makes it easier for me to identify top performers and recognize areas where improvements are needed. For example, if I notice that an affiliate is driving a lot of traffic but not many conversions, I can quickly reach out to them for feedback or offer additional promotional materials to help boost their performance. 2. ACCURATE COMMISSION TRACKING AND PAYMENTS Managing affiliate payments is often one of the most time-consuming and complex aspects of affiliate marketing. Without a reliable tracker, commission calculations can become tedious and prone to error. With UpPromote, I no longer have to worry about manually calculating commissions. The software tracks every sale made by an affiliate and automatically calculates commissions based on pre-set rates. This means I can pay my affiliates on time, every time, with zero mistakes. The automated tracking and commission calculation make it much easier to scale the program, especially as I add more affiliates. Moreover, the software offers various payment methods like PayPal or bank transfer, allowing me to send payouts without dealing with any manual paperwork. 3. ENHANCED AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT A good affiliate marketing tracker doesn’t just track sales; it also provides insights into affiliate behavior and performance. UpPromote helps me manage my relationships with affiliates more effectively by giving me access to important data like: * Affiliate activity levels: I can see which affiliates are actively promoting my products and which are not. * Affiliate performance history: I can track an affiliate’s sales performance over time, which helps me identify long-term top performers or those who may need additional support. * Customizable goals: I can set specific goals for individual affiliates or entire teams and track progress against those goals. With this data, I can maintain strong relationships with my affiliates. If an affiliate is struggling, I can offer them additional support or incentives. If someone is excelling, I can reward them with higher commissions or exclusive offers. 4. FRAUD PREVENTION AND ACCURATE REPORTING Affiliate fraud is a real concern, and one of the key reasons why affiliate marketing trackers are so important is that they help detect suspicious activity. UpPromote includes fraud detection tools that automatically flag potential issues, such as duplicate clicks or unusual patterns in affiliate activity. This helps me ensure that only legitimate sales are counted and that affiliates aren’t taking advantage of the system. Additionally, the platform provides detailed, customizable reports that give me a clear overview of my affiliate program's performance. Whether I’m reviewing a specific campaign, comparing affiliate performance, or analyzing overall revenue, UpPromote's reporting tools give me accurate insights that are essential for making data-driven decisions. 5. INCREASED TRANSPARENCY AND TRUST One of the most important aspects of a successful affiliate program is building trust between affiliates and the business. With UpPromote, the transparency of tracking and reporting builds confidence among my affiliates. They know exactly how their sales are being tracked and what commissions they are earning in real-time. This transparency ensures that affiliates are motivated to continue driving traffic and conversions. Also, the fact that I can show affiliates their performance stats and commission reports fosters a sense of fairness and accountability in the program. WHY I CHOOSE UPPROMOTE AFFILIATE MARKETING SOFTWARE While there are many affiliate marketing trackers available, UpPromote stands out because of its user-friendly interface, powerful features, and seamless integration with my existing e-commerce platform. Here’s why I consider UpPromote to be the best option for affiliate tracking: 1. COMPREHENSIVE TRACKING AND AUTOMATION One of the standout features of UpPromote is its ability to track affiliate links and automate processes. The software not only tracks clicks and conversions but also automatically handles commission calculations, payment processing, and reporting. This automation saves me countless hours of manual work and reduces the chances of errors, especially when dealing with large volumes of sales. 2. SEAMLESS INTEGRATION WITH SHOPIFY As someone who runs a Shopify store, seamless integration was essential for me. UpPromote integrates effortlessly with Shopify, syncing all my affiliate data without requiring any technical expertise. This integration ensures that all sales and affiliate activities are accurately tracked across my e-commerce store, giving me real-time access to data without any manual entry. 3. CUSTOMIZABLE REPORTING AND INSIGHTS With UpPromote, I can create custom reports tailored to my business needs. Whether I need to track affiliate performance by campaign, geographic location, or sales volume, the platform provides the flexibility to customize reporting as I see fit. This feature is crucial for understanding how different affiliates or campaigns are performing and for optimizing my affiliate program over time. 4. AFFILIATE SUPPORT AND COMMUNICATION Managing affiliate relationships is made easy with UpPromote's communication tools. I can easily send updates, performance reports, and promotional materials to my affiliates, keeping them engaged and informed. Additionally, if an affiliate needs assistance, I can quickly reach out to them through the platform, streamlining communication. 5. SCALABILITY As my affiliate program grows, UpPromote scales effortlessly with it. I don’t have to worry about outgrowing the platform because it’s designed to handle programs of all sizes. Whether I’m working with a handful of affiliates or hundreds, UpPromote manages everything with ease, making it perfect for both small and large-scale affiliate operations. CONCLUSION An affiliate marketing tracker is an essential tool for managing and optimizing affiliate programs. Whether you're a small business owner or running a large affiliate network, using an efficient tracker like UpPromote Affiliate Marketing Software can drastically improve the management of your affiliate campaigns. With real-time tracking, automated commission calculations, fraud prevention tools, and customizable reporting, UpPromote has made affiliate marketing a breeze for me. If you're serious about running a successful affiliate marketing program and want to streamline your processes, I highly recommend giving UpPromote a try. It has transformed the way I track and manage my affiliate marketing efforts, and I’m confident it will do the same for you. *

I believe that when we take time to slow down and listen to our bodies we can begin to hear what’s truly needed to feel grounded, balanced and whole.  This is why I’ve dedicated the past 20 years to studying and practicing Breathwork, Life Purpose Coaching, EFT (Tapping),  Kinesiology, Integrated nutrition and movement, asking the body to guide me and my clients back to wellness.  My purpose is to support people to heal, transform the pain of the past, to feel deeply by listening and connecting to their bodies and their inner wisdom so that they can create a future full of joy, purpose and love whilst embracing the full spectrum of the human experience. And I understand my clients concerns & frustrations because I’ve been out of balance too. Over the years I’ve navigated PTSD, postnatal depression, candida, digestive issues, total disconnect from my body and felt that life was not flowing smoothly. Armed with the knowledge and wisdom of my professional practise I’ve been able to create protocols and commit to daily rituals, bringing myself back into alignment.  My work is to support people to reconnect to themselves, heal, transform the past and to create a future full of joy, purpose and love whilst embracing the full spectrum of the human experience.  Embodiment encourages you to reconnect with your wholeness guiding you to make better decisions about your health, wellbeing and all aspects of your life. Over the years I have deepened my relationship with nature and the earth which has inspired me to follow the Priestess path and to be initiated as a Fire Tender, this means that I create fire ceremonies, for myself, for events and communities such as Sisters of the Wild [http://www.sistersofthewild.com/]. Although at first it could seem that the two are not connected I’ve come to understand that we are nature and if we take care of our own bodies we are taking care of the earth.  The great loves of my life are my son, dancing, breathwork, trauma healing & nature.

Dr Cathy McQuaid

With over 25 years’ experience as a therapist and 35 working within the helping professions, I know counselling and psychotherapy works. During this time I have offered counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples, using a combination of the person-centred approach with Transactional Analysis and psychodynamic theoretical models. I believe the client themselves holds the answers to their questions. What I provided was warmth, compassion, respect and a safe space in which they can tell their story: a willingness to share the therapeutic journey and to help them to reach the goals they set. The approaches I used can help the client understand the history of their difficulties, and offer a way forward in terms of restructuring or realigning their perceptions of life, helping them rediscover their drive towards wholeness and health. Although I no longer offer counselling or psychotherapy to clients I bring all my knowledge, skills and experience into my work as a workshop presenter, supervisor and trainer. My focus now is on offering online supervision, undertaking research, continuing to write on topics and run workshops on topics that interest me. I offer training to trainers, both face to face and online. As a supervisor I offer supervision to qualified counsellors and psychotherapists, something I have done since 2002. Supervision can be undertaken individually or in small groups. In addition I am endorsed to teach and supervise Transactional Analysis by the European Association for Transactional Analysis, this means I can teach and supervise supervisors and trainers. As a supervisor of trainers I come with experience of setting up and running a training and therapy centre, of gaining MSc recogition for my courses and running a low cost therapy centre. I know how challenging it can be to meet the many and varied national and international requirements; maintaining personal idiosyncratic preferences; whilst adhering to academic norms; set core competencies; and external organisational requirements that, at times, appear to conflict with one another. As a researcher my most recent project concerned the impact of the death of a child, of any age, on parents and siblings. This has resulted in May 2021 to my second book Understanding Bereaved Parents and Siblings: A Handbook for Professionals, Family and Friends. I run workshops for professionals who want a greater understanding of how they can work with bereaved mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. Workshops are planned for bereaved parents and siblings later in 2022. In addition I have a specific interest in training courses and training standards. Having completed my DPsych in 2010 and written my first book What You Really Need to Know About Counselling and Psychotherapy Training: An Essential Guide published by Routledge in 2014, I have gone on to continue my research into counselling and psychotherapy training from both the trainees and trainers perspectives. I am passionate about training and training standards and want to work with others who wish to work to the best of their ability with integrity, passion and trustworthiness.
