CJRTOOLS ebooks is interested in forming partnerships with Mac User Groups. Our partnership program includes providing groups with articles, online courses, special discounts, and review copies of our newest ebooks. In exchange, we are asking for feedback on our ebooks and ideas for future articles, courses and books.

If your group is interested in joining our program, please read the details on this page and have your group's President, Apple Ambassador or Vendor Liaison contact us with the name of your MUG and the website address.

Articles for Newsletters
Each month, we will email a new article written by our author, Claire J Rottenberg, to your group's newsletter editor for publication in the following month's newsletter. The article will cover a topic of interest to Mac OS X users, for example, "Reasons to Upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5." The article will be released only to Mac user groups that are enrolled in our partnership program. Groups are encouraged to recommend topics for articles.

Online Courses
On the first of each month, we will email a description of that month's online course to your group's program representative. The courses usually begin the second week of the month and last for two to three weeks. Enrollment is limited to the first 20 group members who register, but popular courses will be repeated so that as many members as possible can benefit from them. Recently offered courses included "Getting Started with Automator" and "Creating a Website with iWeb." We are open to providing courses on topics suggested by group members.

Special Discounts
As soon as a user group is enrolled in our program, we will send a special discount code to the group's representative. The code can be used at our eSellerate store for 10% off all ebook purchases up to $20 and for 20% off on purchases over $20.

Review Copies of ebooks
Any user group enrolled in our program can request a review copy of one of our new ebooks. In exchange for the ebook, we ask that you write a review of the book and send us a copy of the review. Note that this does not need to be a "professional" review. We want to use the information and feedback to improve our ebooks. Naturally, if the review is positive, we would like to post it on our website or link to the review on your group's website.

Feedback Forms
Occasionally, we will send your group's representative a Feedback form, requesting feedback on our articles and courses. We might also ask for suggestions or recommendations for topics for future courses and ebooks.



If you join our group, feel free to post our Mac User Group Program logo on your website.
