Technology coaching

I’m all yours, baby. You have tech questions or problems, and I have answers. So let’s metaphorically sit down together and solve those problems… answer those questions. I’m 100% on your agenda.

In our sessions, you’ll bring me your biggest tech issues and I’ll show you how to solve them. I can work directly on your computer while we both watch our shared screen, or we can work on my computer if you’d prefer. Either way, we’ll both see the same screen, and either one of us can control the mouse and keyboard. (And yes, you’ll retain ultimate control of your computer. If you want to kick me off when I go for your porn stash, you can totally do that.)

I’ll explain what’s going on in language you’ll understand. I can do stuff, or you can do it yourself while I explain. It’s just like sitting down together, sharing a keyboard and mouse.

After our call, you should be able to do the skill all by yourself if you’d like to, saving you money down the road. And if you’re on a PC and if we talk on a headset (instead of on the phone… we can do either), then we can easily record the video and audio of your session, so that you can watch it again later if you’d like for a refresher.

These sessions are driven by you! I want to solve your problems, eliminate your sticking points, and alleviate your headaches. This is not about me preaching what I think you want to hear. It’s about you telling me what you want to know, or what you want fixed.

Here’s what some folks had to say about me and what I do:

.

Johnny B. Truant IS the future of the Internet. This should be etched inside the front cover of the ‘How To Run A Business In The 21st Century’ handbook. Good work Johnny, thank you.”
— Dan Rippon

“You definitely have a talent for coaching. Yesterday morning I felt like a closet full of fraying wires with happenstance connections at best. I truly thank you for hooking me up.”
— Jess Commins

Johnny B. Truant is an AWESOME teacher! I will be rocking aWeber in no time! Thank you!”
— Jennifer Michelle, PoleSkivvies.com

“To quote (more or less) Napoleon Dynamite: ‘Chicks dig guys with skills.’ Now I don’t know if chicks dig Johnny B. Truant (though I’m betting his wife does) but I do know this guy has SKILLS. I mean, if you have been wanting for like FOREVER to get a website up and running but haven’t known how to do it, or where to go, or who to trust – Johnny B. Truant is your man.”

—Anne Galivan, homeschooling911.com

Here’s how it works:

1. After you sign up, I’ll contact you (or you can contact me) and we’ll prioritize what you feel are your biggest tech headaches. I want to get the crap off of your metaphorical desk that you most want off of there. These will be the topics we’ll tackle during our session.

2. We’ll plan on a 1-hour session at a time that is good for both of us.

3. I’ll invite you to a GoToMeeting session. To join the meeting, you’ll visit a website link that will come in my invitation at the appointed time and enter the meeting code. It will prompt you to download a small piece of software, but you don’t have to sign up or log in or anything, and it’s all free. (If you have questions about how this works, security, or anything else, check out the GoToMeeting site at the link above.)

4. One of us will call the other, or — preferably, if you own a headset or a mic and speakers — we can talk using an integrated voice-over-IP feature. If we do the latter and you’re on a PC, we’ll be able to record audio and video of our session.

5. During the session, we’ll work through the issues we had discussed. (You can also come up with new questions off the cuff, but I’ll obviously be better-prepared if we’ve discussed things in advance.) We can hand off control on the fly (with you “driving” the mouse and keyboard or me doing it) and can also switch from viewing what’s going on on your computer to viewing mine. This allows us to focus on your issue using your system, but allows me to show you things that I’ve done if needed.

6. You save time, learn new stuff, save money on assistants, and generally become more awesome. And possibly more attractive. Probably more attractive.

You bundle, you save, and you get one badass education. Five hours with me metaphorically by your side is like ten hours with any other teacher, and one hour with another teacher is like five years in community college. You do the math.

FAQ:

1. What can we discuss?
I’m best with web technology (WordPress and other blogs, code, websites in general, email marketing, e-commerce setup and management, affiliate programs and affiliate marketing, general computing, and so forth) but am also a general geek and know plenty of other stuff too. If you’d like to query me ahead of time, feel free to email me.

2. Do you need my passwords?
It depends. Things move faster if you’ll let me do the logging in and out of places, but I can absolutely hand off control to you if you’d prefer to enter your own information. (NOTE: If I do use your passwords, I encourage you to change them after our session is over.)

3. Are we limited to talking about technology?
Nope. I also offer small business consulting at the same rates, so we can talk about just tech, just non-tech business, or a little of each.

4. What is the San Francisco treat?
Rice-a-Roni. Everyone knows that.
