If you mean the posts on this thread, with this size font and black rather than gray, I like it much better.

I want to learn better calls to action. I am great at creating products but terrible about selling.
I want to meet folks who might be interested in done for you training products in future (new project I haven’t started yet and will be gathering women who have expertise in various topics, both personal and business to help create these)
I want to collaborate with others who have a heart to help low income women to thrive, personally and professionally
I want to have access to topics that marketers would be interested in purchasing as training materials
I want to start creating and selling done for you training and eventually gathering a team of low income women to work with me -
I’m with Jan. I really like screencastomatic. It might not have the capability that Camtasia does, but it works for my needs and is easy to learn. I use it for everything.

I think the mutual encouragement and brainstorming are what I most want to see.

I agree with Dana that sometimes a service you can offer will make money faster and it will give you some self-confidence. I got started online as a ghostwriter on the warrior forum. I quickly burnt out, but it made me realize that people are willing to pay you if you are offering something they want.
And like Steve says, you have to have a call to action so people know you have something to sell. I’m really bad at that, which is probably why I like Udemy – they do the selling for me. Although I’m beginning to realize that if I promote my courses more, then Udemy will promote them more. So I can’t get away from the selling part it seems.

Just saw this thread. I do have over 10 courses on Udemy and as Bruce said, a number of students from all over the world. That’s the best part, people have found me that otherwise wouldn’t have known I existed.
Udemy is very strict about not promoting outside of their platform except on your bonus lecture, which is your last one. There you can link to your other sites and I have had students come and opt-in to my own list.
Udemy owns the list, but you can email your students from within it and promote your other Udemy courses.
I have had private clients come to me as a result of some of my Udemy courses as well, so it’s been a good platform for me. Plus I make a little bit of money from Udemy after they take their share.

I’ve done Paper.li newsletters for clients. I always tell them to get the paid version so they can customize their paper with their own banner, ads, and content, as well as the curated content and images that Paper.li pulls in for you. It takes a bit of time to train the software to curate the right articles for you, or you can only content you’ve curated. It makes a really professional looking paper that can be sent out through your email service.

I like using Zoom because I usually need to share my screen to help people with a concept or have them share their screen with me there to hold their hand while they walk through the steps. Showing people how to use software would be so much more difficult with audio only.

One thing I did was do a short video every day for thirty days and put it on Youtube and my blog. Each day I also put it up on my Facebook page with an automatic send to Twitter. I also put it on a Pinterest board I titled Training Videos and when relevant I added it to my LinkedIn profile. At the end of the month I put the videos up as a free Udemy course as well and within a month or two I had 10,000 students.
As a result of the various social media platforms and Udemy, I had people coming to my website who would never have found me otherwise.

I haven’t done a webinar for awhile, but a couple of years ago I did a weekly series for quite a few months and then turned them into Udemy courses that are still selling today.
