I joined the Worldwide Santa Claus Network to become an extraordinary Santa Claus portrayal artist

A friend of mine, David Star, planosanta.com, is a platinum member and suggested I would highly benefit from the courses and programs. WSCN has provided me with all the basics I needed to become a successful professional Santa Claus portrayal artist

The impact of WSCN has been HUGE. Every year I’m gaining more jobs and gaining additional experience through the WSCN live and on-demand programs.

The Worldwide Santa Claus Network has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Fox Business, Money magazine, VOX, and many others. And this started years ago when we were still known as The Santa Claus Conservatory.

Register now & receive instant access to hours of excellent online education.

The course has been invaluable already, I have gained so much knowledge and wisdom from your business-focused approach that I have come out of the course with a business idea already that I think is unique and could easily turn into a wonderful new career for me.

My investment here is the biggest single reason that my entrepreneurial spirit is rekindled. I can see myself spending hundreds of hours digesting all of the content available.

The investment is well worth it for me. I have zero regrets entering the group at the Platinum level.

Best Regards,
David Brown

“If you’re looking to learn or up your game in the Virtual world that we are rapidly moving into. Check out Ed’s classes and content at The Santa Claus Conservatory.

Fantastic content and so much information to help you on the journey. Plus, the added extras that Ed incorporates into the learning experience! The members are also fast to help out fellow Santas and Mrs Clauses!”
Ron McLamb

“A big thank you to Ed and the attendees of the Virtual Webinar training that I’ve participated in the last five Thursdays. An incredible program and have met some wonderful, helpful Santas in the process. While it will be quite a challenge to be an extraordinary virtual Santa, it will not be for lack of upfront training and inspiration this Seminar has provided. Now, I must execute what I’ve learned.

This Network is an incredible resource for Santas and Christmas Performers who want to embrace extraordinary as their Purpose and Vision! Well done!”
Dana Kovach

“Year 42 assisting Santa and I am only driven by one objective which is to make Unforgettable Memories for Children.

This year, there will be incredibly realistic virtual visits starting outside Santa’s house, through his toyshop and into his den. There are dancing elves and visits from Snowmen and Teddy bears.

I didn’t know this was possible.

I am 75 yrs old and am amazed at how simple it is to follow the leadership of Ed and many other unselfish colleagues who all came together to share their skills and knowledge.

Baden Powell taught me to “Be Prepared.” I have no idea what my Santa journey will look like this year but I do know that I am ready to have magic come true.

Ed has helped us all to keep the dream alive and confirmed that it is our presence, not our presents, that really counts.”
Bruce Templeton

“I am entering my 14th year of being Santa, never did I think that we would be doing online visits instead of personal visits. The knowledge and the ability to do online visits was something I needed a lot of help with.

I was given The Santa Claus Conservatory site by a fellow brother in red.

After taking the first five of Ed’s virtual visit courses, and other courses on his site. I have learned a great deal of how to get prepared and how to conquer the fear of the camera. Thanks to Ed and the other brothers who have made this new venture easier to understand.”

If at the end of 60 Days, you feel that you haven’t received your money’s worth, request a refund, and one will be issued, no questions asked.

The only caveat is this- You may NOT display a “Certificate of Completion” or any of our “web badges” if you should request a refund.

“I really enjoyed the video sessions. The marketing session was extremely helpful in getting ideas for my website. The sessions on corporate and community events have been valuable as well. Overall, this is a great way for a new Santa to launch.

I’m looking forward to being the best Santa I can be – thanks to these video sessions.”

In our first year as Santa and Mrs, we far exceeded our expectations. Not sure of the final tally, but we have had several $1000 or more days. Most parties and events told us that we were the best ever. Many asking about booking us next season.

You really have helped us so much! I look forward to learning and implementing more of your information in 2017 that I just didn’t have time for in 2016. Happy New Year!”

What Santa’s are saying about our Santa Claus School…

Santa Ed,
Thanks so much for the great Santa business advice, tonight. Really enjoyed the session and see much value in each of the classes that you will make available in March, April, and May. I took your classes last year and highly recommend them and you.
Thanks,
Santa Andy Stratton

“Great class tonight Santa Ed. What an honor to be taught by such a great Santa. Thanks again I am glad I was home tonight and not on the road. I was able to learn some good stuff  Thanks again.”
Santa Chuck Hudgins

Santa Ed,
Your webinar tonight was very well done and you managed to stay on topic very well.  Your outline was very concise and I picked up several good tips.
    I have followed your advice and Larry Hersberger at Kissing Tree Studio is helping me create a new website for cliffkringle.com and we will be adding an online store for all of the products I have for sale.
     Speaking of Larry, thank you again for the wonderful plug you gave him and me during the webinar.  I really appreciate it, and I will be sure to tell him as well.
     You did a great job and I am glad I signed in tonight.
Blessings,
Santa Cliff Snider

Ed, Thank you for another fine presentation. As you recall I participated in your webinar series last Spring and got so much out of them that really helped me during the past year and holiday season. Again tonight, though time restricted for each topic, I picked up several new ideas and bits of information for my Santa business. And I am one who knows first-hand how you will expand each of the topics in your upcoming webinars.
     As always, I look forward to continued relations and necessary counselings with you.
Mel Koch, Santa Quincy


Thank you. I feel I picked up some useful ideas. I have been doing this for two seasons now. I am a part of the group called Lone Star Santa’s here in Texas. I personally am located in Fort Worth. Thank you for your enthusiastic example as well as encouragement to be myself. I have had a great time with kids, both young and old.

What Santas & Mrs. Clauses Have to Say About Our Online Santa Claus School

As a brand new Santa I was both excited and a bit overwhelmed at the coming season and quickly realized there was a LOT that I didn't know and needed to learn about. So many resources, but where to start?

While Googling I came across Ed Taylor’s session “101 Questions for Santa Claus with Answers”.

EUREKA!

Santa Ed thank you for sharing all of the information you share… you have given me answers to questions I didn’t even think to ask… THANK YOU!
Dale Dimas
From San Jose, CA, USA
I appreciate your concern and desire to help all Santa’s to learn and share about being the best Santa possible.

Your lessons are well done and provide excellent insight into lots of various opportunities for the Santa and Mrs Claus community.

Thank You for your concern, desire, and professionalism.
Santa Duffy
Suffolk, VA, USA
Your influence on my life has been transformative, and probably have had as much positive impact as any other person in my adult life.

Between Hello Santa, the lessons you offered, the generous time you've given for all sorts of advice both within and outside of being Santa, directing me toward a gig that both consumes all of my Santa work *and* will likely become where I will live in a couple of years....

Brother, what haven't you done? Oh, also thanks!
Michael Sheinbaum
King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
The information you provide is insightful and very helpful.

It's reassuring that you have Santa experience and know the kind of issues we should be aware of.

And the way you deliver the information is like talking with a friend. A friend with knowledge, experience, and a direct approach.

Thank you Santa Ed for all you do in the Santa community.
