Introduction
Hello everyone. I am Jennifer Almaguer and let's just say I am in a discovery phase in my life. I used to be a classroom teacher and decided to take a year off to focus on my masters degree and began working as an actress, v/blogger, and social media specialist for a local Houston company.
I am not really sure where my degree is going to take me, but I have began to become interested in creating online courses that can be bought and marketed on social media.
Like I said, I am in a discovery phase in my life and finally felt ok not having it all figured out and not having the answers to everything. I am happy to be in this course as I've gotten to work with amazing colleagues these past semesters.
Here is one of my favorite quotes:
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school. - Albert Einstein
On a side note: I believe Google Plus is gong to be the next big social media platform. So now is the time to get those custom URL's before they are taken!
Hi Jennifer! Kudos to you for taking the plunge and embarking on a new life/career adventure. That takes courage, no matter your circumstances. It's so interesting that you're interested in creating online courses. What content areas are you thinking about? How do you think they are (or should be) different than the school-based courses we've been focusing on in our program?
ReplyDelete(I've been thinking about the same thing, honestly, so I'm always interested in why and how other people are doing it.)
And thanks for the tip about Google Plus. Why do you think it will be the next big one?
Hi Traci.. Well I guess I was wrong about Google Plus. They are going to delete the entire platform! Makes me sad.
DeleteAs far as online courses I'm working with a intuitive coach who want to provide an online course sort of like what Mind Valley does. Another example I can give is Jay Shetty. So basically they are life coaching courses that can be created and sold and in turn creates passive income. It's something I am dipping my toes into. Let's see how it goes. :)
There are platforms you can create online courses like Udemy.
Hello Jennifer. I love your comment about not having it all figured out. I too am like that, and I thought I might be the only one in this course with that ailment. To me, I figure, if I have a roof over my head, food on my plate and people who love me, I have time to figure it out. My wife always tells me that I should figure it out soon, but not to rush either.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice on Google Plus, I will definitely try to get my URL for personal use.
Yea, I still don't have it all figured out and I too hope to know soon.
DeleteWell I guess I was wrong about Google Plus. They are going to delete the entire platform! Best to you this semester.
