Question 4

Is this workshop the right choice for me?

We created Thunk Workshop to address a specific set of problems we experienced ourselves. Although we believe it can benefit anyone writing online, we designed Thunk Workshop to help with these challenges:

1. You have tons of ideas, but they never seem good enough to publish. Putting yourself out there is uncomfortable and it's holding you back.
I'll get started tomorrow. I just need to keep editing, I'll publish something later. I wrote this, but it's not good enough yet.

2. You want to write online, but there are so many tools and choices it's hard to take the first step. The friction of getting started is getting in your way.
Should you use Wordpress? Twitter? Substack?

3. You started writing online, but you found yourself publishing into the void.
Is my message coming across? Is something unclear? Why isn't anyone reading?

Question 5

Will the workshop be offered again?

Yes. Participants in our first cohort will get a better price and a more hands-on experience. We don't have a date set for the second cohort, but if you'd like updates, please send us a note at support@thunknotes.com

Question 5

What if I still have questions?

Please email us any questions to support@thunknotes.com. We will be hosting an information session on June 24th, 2021 to share more. You can sign up for the information session here.
