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

Opt-in Forms

I spent today creating opt-in forms for each of my blogs. Mind you, other than this one on blogger, which is so easy to install, I have no idea what to do next. My other blogs are in Wordpress and have to be copied into the HTML code. For a non-techie like me, that is a big deal. Update: With the newer versions of Wordpress and the use of widgets with most themes, adding an opt-in form is now as easy as on a Blogger blog. I went to Aweber and created my form, copied the code that's produced and pasted it into my HTML widget. And I even sound like a techie, don't I? Until next time, 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...

Youtube Videos - Are You Using Them?

Creating more Youtube videos is on my to-do list for this spring. But I think I need to take a lesson from my granddaughter's future husband and learn to use humor much more than I do. Here is a recent video he created to give you an idea of what I mean. Don't miss the surprise ending. Until next time, Carol
