Online Course Successes

Here we are almost at the end of 2015 and I've been so busy that I almost forgot about this little blog of mine. What have I been doing, you say? Here's a sample:
  • I decided to focus on only one or two websites instead of having so many, especially if they were in different niches. So I tried to sell CanadianWelcome.ca and ChalkLake.ca but haven't had much interest. So I will probably hold on to the domain names and try to sell them separately. As for the content, I may use it as PLR to sell or something like that.
  • I haven't done any regular webinars for awhile now. Not that I didn't want to, but life got in the way and I cancelled my GoToWebinar account since it was costing me so much money every month.
  • I'm still creating videos and hoping to do so at least once a week. I'd also like to start a weekly podcast.
  • I'm still working with a few private clients, online only, and have been using Zoom for that. It seems to work well so far.
  • I started putting a number of my courses online on the Udemy platform. I have 9 courses up now, and one of them has over 10,000 students. It started as a free course so I can't say it's been terribly lucrative. But I have made over $600 US with those Udemy courses and once they're created, they don't take a lot of work.
  • And did I tell you I was an INSTRUCTOR at NAMS last year? It was so exciting to go from a newbie there to teaching. My topic was creating an Online Course and how to use the Udemy platform.
I guess that's it for my online business life. I'm not rich or really successful yet, but I haven't given up and every year I get a little better. I'll be 67 in a few months and am looking forward to the future.

Wherever you are in your online journey, don't give up. We can make it!

Have a great day,
Carol

New Year, How Are You Doing?

I've got a good feeling about this year. I'm finally getting it as far as understanding affiliate marketing. People have told me before that it isn't that difficult, but I think something needs to click and it finally has. I'm still doing a lot of offline workshops for the local community centre and have also started renting my own venue to present them. I've done two so far. The first one I allowed people to pay at the door. Big mistake. They registered, but then sent me an email at the last minute saying they couldn't come. So after I paid for the location, I was in the hole. The second one I did, I finally got smart and put a Paypal registration on my website. So much easier, not to mention nice to get the Paypal notification that I had made a sale. Ended up with three times as many paying attendees and they paid $5 more each than the first group. Lest you think I made a fortune, my first workshop only had two payees, but it sounds better to say three t...

Feeling Unmotivated?

This time of year can be hard for a lot of people. Too much rain, not warm enough, not enough sun. At least in my part of Canada, that's the case. So I created a quick little podcast about what we can do when we feel unmotivated. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Carol My New Podcast!

Our Mastermind Progress

I mentioned in the last post that I was going to be involved in a mastermind group to help promote one another. So far we have met once on Skype and twice on a teleseminar. These are my observations so far: Our Skype meeting was a lot of fun, but didn't accomplish much. I don't use Skype often and the others did only for one on one text chats. When the first two members got on Skype, it was fine, we could see and hear one another well. As soon as someone else entered the call, the video capability was lost. Once four of us were on (member number five couldn't attend that day) it was hard to hear properly. There was a lot of phone interference and we kept getting dropped from having a group call. We finally gave up and called it a day. The next two sessions we've used a teleseminar service. I have a free trial for InstantTeleseminars so we used that. The advantage here over freeconferencecalling.com is that there were local phone numbers for the American members of our...
