Dear Friends,

My new team and I are THRILLED to announce that we will soon launch TekkiGurus!!! Our team wants to work with you to develop a platform that brings together the Tekki community that we’re building with top industry gurus to provide innovative solutions and education through a high-quality user experience online.

TekkiGurus will connect customers in our broader community who use SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Teams, Microsoft Viva, Microsoft Power Platform, and Microsoft Azure AI. We will strive to include news, technical articles, product reviews, collaborations, case studies, webinar content, event overviews, podcasts, newsletters and at some point, TekkiGurus in the Metaverse (we are thinking of the future). We know our community of users wants to connect to peers in community-driven online and live places and gain invaluable insight through lively discussions of issues that community members are facing.

We want your help to lead, empower, build, and connect our community.

TekkiGurus will reach a global audience and our network of industry relationships will enhance your visibility and the impact you can make on the community.

Benefits of contributing to TekkiGurus:

• PAID content development. Written, recorded or…virtual?

• We’ll help you build your brand if you want the help.

• Webinars (typical slides plus recording).

• For content you produce, we’ll tell you about the demographics of your audience.

• If your content gets feedback, you’ll get the feedback.

• Royalties for popular content. (We’ll pay you to develop content, and pay additional when the views hit particular thresholds, or it gets included in package deals.)

• We’ll take content for on-prem or cloud.

• We will give you referrals for projects that come to us.

• We’ll help you build a distribution channel.

• We’ll keep track of your specific content contribution and your reach as best as we can estimate it.

Here’s how you can help:

• We want to generate compelling content to build our site fast at first. So, we’re looking for articles, news, video, etc.

• Share how you've solved a problem, created a service or product, or developed your expertise.

• Allow us to syndicate your content to our site as we drive traffic to your site. (Yep, we’ll help you build web traffic to your blogs, site, etc.)

• Help us identify business decision-makers, IT professionals, developers, and industry solution providers who can benefit by enhancing their visibility in a crowded marketplace.

• Propose a collaboration where we can work together. Contact us. If you’re receiving this email, chances are you’ve known us for years.

• Please help us bring together a robust community of trusted experts, top tier content, trusted resources, and solutions to technical issues with dedication to high quality and performance.

We appreciate your time and any help you can provide as we build TekkiGurus together!

Sincerely,

Knut Relbe-Moe, Jackie Baillie and the TekkiGurus Team
