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

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...

Jet Lag and NAMS 4

Okay, it wasn't a jet, but I did take a 747 to NAMS. And yes, I've been back for a week now. But it takes me a while to recover so you won't get all the juicy details for a bit longer yet. All I can say is I took loads of notes, hung out with some amazing people, and wish they didn't live so far away. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the sessions with Bob 'The Teacher' Jenkins, Karon Thackston, and Kathleen Gage. Of course all of the presenters were great, but those three I got the most from. And I had a 15 minute consultation with Mark Hendricks as well. The last NAMS I didn't think I had anything to discuss with him, but this time I forced myself to sign up. I was super nervous, but he was very easy to talk to, and he actually liked my idea for a membership site. I'll talk more about that another time. Once I get my notes organized, I'll give you my top ten takeaway points. Now the challenge is to do them, not stay in learning mode. So ...

Using a Virtual Assistant - What Could YOU Delegate?

At some point, we all realize we can't do everything ourselves. When that happens, it's time to start thinking about hiring the services of a Virtual Assistant. My life has been so much easier since I started working with my VA. She does all the techie things I can't do, keeps me on track, motivates me when I get discouraged. If you're wondering how outsourcing could help you, here are some of the tasks that can be delegated to a VA: * Responding to customer e-mails and phone calls * Scheduling business and personal appointments and interviews * Bookkeeping: invoicing clients, receiving and paying bills, reconciling bank statements,  tracking expenses     and tax records, working with your accountant * Internet research and fact checking * Planning travel for speaking engagements and seminars * Maintaining newsletter and customer mailing lists * Managing website and newsletter ad sales * Handling registrations for teleclasses and workshops * Maintainin...
