I'm an instructor. Why would I want an MSP Page?

I've been asked, "What do I get for spending the time to write in a mysnowpro.com blog of my own?

Before I list a few reasons, I have been actually amazed at how MSP is now shared from my students to their friends and relatives. At first I thought, pictures, movies, and lesson recaps could be happily reviewed by my students. What happened was surprising. My student immediately emailed ALL of her family and over 50 friends with the photos, lesson, review, and brief movie I put together. In the first 61 days, MSP had received over 130,000 page views. Gregg and I were the only ones writing. In the first 61 days, I receive 3 extra days of private bookings, increased tips, and more return business from frequent skiers. So with that said, here are a few reasons why you might want to be part of the MSP network:

1. Your students will thank you. MSP is the easiest way to keep in touch with your past students and give them more than they expected. Why would I want to do that, you ask? You may want to increase your repeat business, better form your relationships with your customers, and have an easy way to show your students, friends and family pictures from your lessons, and even from other parts of your life. As instructors, what we are finding is that your when students become much more than students or friends, they will go out of their way to share their experience with others. And the ability to have a website to send their friends and family to see, simply reinforces their experience with you.

2. MySnowPro.com will stay in touch with your past students automatically, without you having to do anything at all. If you subscribe them for the monthly newsletter from your own site, your students will receive great content that they look forward to, and it will be because of you. What does that mean? Increased requests, return business for you, and an even better relationship with you. And we will never sell their information to others.

3. Your website will be a connection between you and your potential students. Your site will be listed with the search engines, and findable on the internet. That means new clients for you, skiers and riders that want what you can offer.

4. It's fun! Using MySnowPro.com is just as easy as sending an email. We have created audio/visual tutorials for the different uses of MSP. And they are color coded Green Circle for Easiest, Blue Diamond for Intermediate, and Black Diamond for advanced. So far, we have just found Green and Blue. Goto the top of the page and click tutorials to see how we help.

5. Easy to keep your students notified of what you are doing. When you post a new entry, you can notify your clients, and readers of your site can sign up to be automatically emailed or updated via an RSS feed when you post a new article. You'll find lots of uses for the website. Not only can you post pictures, videos, and articles to read for your students, but you can even create a section for your own personal stuff, too. You may want to show your family your latest photos, and of course your students are interested in what you're doing over the summer, which brings us to the next point.

6. A great time for you to update your site and keep in touch with your past students is over the summer. Get them to make their plans for skiing or riding with you next year! Even if you don't update your website that often, MSP will still be sending the free monthly report to your students on your behalf.

MySnowPro.com is the best customer service tool for instructors that you can get! And it's an incredible thank you to your students.

To your sliding success,
