Want to Improve Your Google Searches?

I’ll be teaching my SECRETS OF A RESEARCH NINJA online course in November for my local RWA® Chapter in San Diego. It doesn’t matter if you’re a romance writer or even a writer at all, the class is open to everyone! So, if you’d like to improve your “google-fu”, this is the class for you.

Secrets of a Research Ninja

Instructor: Kristen Koster
Active Class Dates: 11/04-11/15/2019
Cost: $15 RWASD Members, $20 Non-Members

Course Description

Everyone’s Googled something at least once, right? But there must be ways to make your searches more efficient, effective and accurate, because no one wants or needs pages and pages of endless irrelevant results.

Would you rather spend more time writing (or whatever!) than on a frustrating search for that proverbial needle in an ever-growing haystack?

Course Outline

By the end of this two week class, you will:
– write better basic Google searches,
– recognize good & bad results,
– use advanced Google searches,
– learn about specialized Google searches, and
– have resources other than Google to use.

This online Course consists of two weeks of MWF Lessons & some light homework.

Registration now closed.

Hope to see ya there!
