How To Easily Create An Udemy Training Course

by Leave a Comment

Create Udemy Training Course

On Udemy, customers get to buy online training courses, and creating online training courses is a very simple process. Udemy guides you through the process, and with the right video files, uploading a video to Udemy is just as easy as uploading a picture to a blog post. Udemy makes it technologically easy to create training courses.

The hard part about creating a training course is putting in the work. If you ever had a day when you felt like taking a break instead of putting in the work, then you are not alone. Putting in no effort is easier than putting in effort, and when it comes to creating the videos and content of a training course, you may have to commit hours of your time to creating that training course. Many people stop creating their training courses halfway because of the sheer amount of work involved. The reason most of this work initially looks overwhelming is because few people have a structured way of completing their Udemy courses. Going through the motions is not the same as having structure.

Structuring the way you create your Udemy courses consists of a four step process:

  1. Killer outline
  2. Use Screenflow for recordings
  3. Edit the recordings
  4. Publish the course

By knowing how all four of these steps work, you can effectively create multiple Udemy courses every month, and each would have the power to generate massive revenue. The two most challenging things entrepreneurs do are create products and market them. Making the product creation process easier will give you more time to market the products that you create. This will lead to more sales overall. Now it’s time to go in detail about how each of these four steps work…

 

#1: Killer Outline

Take the time to create a comprehensive outline that in essence lays out your entire course. In this outline, you must list all of the presentations you will talk about. Once you establish the presentations, you will then create a list of talking points that will guide you along the way. These talking points will then be expanded into a KeyNote or PowerPoint presentation with a series of slides containing bullet points related to the talking points and your course. Once you create the outline for your course, create those presentations on KeyNote or PowerPoint.

[tweetthis twitter_handles=”@MarcGuberti” url=”http://bit.ly/1J4UJvO”]Create the outline for any product before you actually work on creating that product.[/tweetthis]

#2: Use Screenflow For Recordings

Screenflow is a tool for Apple computers that allows you to record your screen. When you record your screen, display your KeyNote or PowerPoint presentation in a way that the presentation covers the entire screen. This will make your presentations look more professional, and since you have the bullet points in front of you, it will be easier for you to convey your thoughts and improve the quality of your course.

When I first started using Udemy, I used iMovie which served its purpose, but I often found myself doing double work because I relied on my computer’s camera. For my first couple of courses, I had to do the actual recording and then find out where I had to insert pictures so no one would see me in the videos. At the same time, I had to insert pictures relevant to what I was saying (i.e. when I say “here is an example of a landing page,” I have to insert a picture of my landing page where I say that). A KeyNote or PowerPoint presentation combined with Screenflow makes the entire process easier and has saved me a critical step in the course creation process.

I understand that not everyone has an Apple device, and that is fine as long as you are happy with your computer. For all of the other computer users, Camtasia is the tool for you. It has the same fundamental capabilities of Screenflow and makes it easier for you to create videos.

[tweetthis twitter_handles=”@MarcGuberti” url=”http://bit.ly/1J4UJvO”]If you want to save time editing your videos, use ScreenFlow.[/tweetthis]

#3: Edit The Recordings

In my opinion, editing is the most annoying part of publishing an Udemy course. It is a necessary procedure to ensure quality, and in the end, the time you spend editing your videos is well worth it in the long-term. It is better to put in the work now than it is for the customer who paid in full for your $100 course to tell you about the mistakes in your videos and then request a refund.

In iMovie, editing the videos the way I wanted them was a tedious process which is why I currently use Screenflow instead. It saves so much time. I understand that some people will want to record and shows themselves in the video. The only problem is that the lighting needs to be perfect, and that is challenging. I know lighting can cost anywhere from a hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars, and learning about which lighting to use for your videos takes up time. My recommendation is to only give it a try if you know about lighting.

If you choose to do a video where you are seen, and you make a mistake in the middle of the video, stop talking for five seconds and then continue. This is the same process you follow if you use Screenflow. The only difference is that when people see you, they can also see you pondering what to say. No matter how you record yourself, you would cut the five second clip where you don’t say anything, but if people can see you, you would either zoom in or zoom out to provide a proper transition. Zooming in and out also engages your viewers.

 

#4: Publish The Course 

All you have to do at this point is upload the videos and PDFs to Udemy, write the details about the course, and then submit the course for review. At this point, you can promote the course in any way you’d like, but your course only gets on the Udemy organic search once Udemy gives you the thumb up. If you use Screenflow or Camtasia, having multiple slides with pictures and using a good microphone will practically ensure your course gets published as long as it is appropriate and follows Udemy’s guidelines.

 

In Conclusion

The only reason many people find it difficult to create Udemy courses is because they lack a plan. A plan is essential for success in anything that you pursue. Knowing where you should go from start to finish gives you a distinct advantage over the people who just wing it. To some people, winging it sounds cool, but cool doesn’t always mean effective.

My recommendation is to publish a Udemy course using this exact guideline before adding additional steps for yourself. Adding more steps for yourself means it will take more time for you to create your Udemy course, and if you add dozens of steps to the process, you risk getting overwhelmed by the workload.

You must put in the work to create an Udemy course, but there is no reason to give yourself extraneous work. What are your thoughts on using Udemy? Have you create an Udemy course? Do you have any additional tips for creating Udemy courses? Please share your thoughts and advice below.

10 Ways To Get More Google+ Followers

by 2 Comments

How To Get More Google+ Followers

Google+ is the second largest social network on the web, but not everyone understands how they can utilize the social network behemoth for their brands. Not only is Google+ the second largest social network on the web, but it is owned by Google. Google has made it clear that a +1 share from Google+ has more impact on SEO than any other social share. In addition to providing an advantage in SEO, Google+ is also a great place to grow your audience. There are hundreds of millions of people who could potentially read your Google+ posts which means at least a million people on the platform are a part of your target audience.

At this point, you may be wondering how you would reach your target audience and get more Google+ followers so your content can spread, get more Google+ traffic, and reap the SEO benefits. If you want to get more Google+ followers, follow these 10 tips:

 

#1: Post Often

Posting often is a great way to get more exposure on Google+. Posting often on Google+ creates the possibility of your current followers sharing your content with their audiences and coming back for more of your content. Posting often also makes your account look more attractive because it is active. If your last post was from a month ago, you won’t get as many followers because not posting in over a month shows inactivity. However, if you are posting four times every day, people can expect to see you in their feeds when they follow you.

 

#2: Post Spreadable Content

When you publish Google+ posts, you must publish spreadable content. This is the type of content that people in your targeted audience would want to share with their followers. Getting more +1’s for your content serves many benefits. The first benefit is SEO. You will get more blog traffic from Google if your followers share your blog posts on Google+. The second benefit is that more people see your content as your followers share your content with their audiences. The third benefit is that your account now looks more attractive to potential followers. If all of your Google+ posts are getting +1’s and comments, that social proof will tell a potential follower that a lot of people like what you have to offer. As a result, more potential followers will follow you.

 

#3: Schedule Your Posts

Scheduling your posts on Google+ is important because your content gets put in front of an international audience. Of course, any person with a Google+ account is able to follow you, regardless of which continent that person is on. However, someone following you and someone seeing your posts are two different things. Many people only schedule posts to their timezone convenience. Many people schedule their posts in the morning and the afternoon, but few would think to schedule a post at 2 am.

The argument is that everyone would be asleep at that time, but that only applies to the people in your timezone. 2 am in California means 10 am in London. Sure, people in California are sleeping at 2 am, but at that same time, people in London are waking up (and some check their Google+ accounts right when they wake up). You can schedule a Google+ Page’s posts with HootSuite, and DoShare is great for scheduling Google+ on your personal account.

[tweetthis url=”http://bit.ly/1ylaUEE”]Scheduling your #SocialMedia posts in advance allows you to communicate with an international audience in real-time.[/tweetthis]

#4: Follow Other People

One of the easiest ways to get someone to notice you on Google+ is to follow them. Of course, if you follow someone with 1 million followers, you may not get noticed because those people get hundreds of new followers every day. However, if you follow someone who has a few hundred followers, that person will probably notice you. Many of these people still choose to receive an email each time they get a new follower. These are the people who are likely to follow back.

When you follow other people, make sure you are following people who are following other people in your niche. These are the targeted followers—the group of people who would appreciate your content more than any other group of people. A targeted audience is the best type of audience you could possibly have.

 

#5: Do More Google+ Hangouts

Google+ Hangouts are cool. You get to interview people and then immediately publish the video to YouTube. The transition is easy to make, and when you post the Google+ Hangout to your Google+ account, your followers will take a look at your hangout. You can also broadcast a live Google+ Hangout and respond to questions as people ask them through their comments.

 

#6: Be Active On YouTube

Google+ has an entire tab dedicated to your YouTube channel. If you go to my Google+ account, you will see a YouTube tab, that when clicked on, will show you some of my videos. The more YouTube videos you publish and add to this tab, the more valuable it becomes. You want to give your followers a variety of options so when they go to that tab, one of your YouTube videos is bound to get their attention. Being active on YouTube also helps you tap into a new audience.

[tweetthis url=”http://bit.ly/1ylaUEE”]Being active on #YouTube adds value to your #Google+ account and allows you to tap into a new audience.[/tweetthis]

#7: Interact With Your Own Audience

Strengthening the connections you have on Google+ is critical to getting people to share your content often. By engaging with the people who engage with your content, people who engaged with your content in the past will be encouraged to engage with your content in the future. Few people take the time to interact with the people in their audience. When you interact with one of your followers, that follower is more likely to remember who you are and what you do. These people will continue following you and let their friends know about you.

 

#8: Comment On Other People’s Posts

When you leave a comment on another Google+ user’s post, that’s more exposure for you. If you comment on dozens of Google+ posts every day, you could get numerous followers in a given month from this one strategy. If you want to get noticed on a social network, then you have to be social. If you don’t have the audience to interact with yet, you can interact with other people and their audiences.

 

#9: Have An Effective Bio

Many potential followers read your bio before they decide whether to follow you or not. For many of your potential followers, your bio is the decisive factor. You only have a sentence or two to explain who you are and what you do. The best bios are the ones that list your expertise, hobbies, and awards one after the other. Here is an example of a good bio that I use:

17 Year Old Entrepreneur, Author, Blogger, Digital Marketing Expert, Instructor, Speaker, @HootSuite Ambassador, Runner, Dog Lover

Although I don’t have a period at the end of the sentence and this is a sentence fragment, it is a bio that lets my followers know a lot of things about me in a short amount of time. Effective bios lead to more followers.

 

#10: Avatar And Background Pictures On Point

Using the default avatar and background pictures won’t get you noticed. You must use a professional picture of yourself as the avatar and use a relevant background picture that showcases one of your products, lets people see what you do, or promote an upcoming event. The most successful people on Google+ are not using the default pictures. They use their own pictures. If you want to easily create a Google+ background for free, then look no further than Canva.

 

In Conclusion

Google+ is a powerful platform to promote your content on and reach a larger audience. Not only will you get traffic straight from Google+, but all of the traffic you generate from the social network will have a big impact on the amount of search engine traffic your blog generates. Just like any other social network, it takes time to master Google+, but when you master Google+, your content will spread and reach more people.

10 Easy Ways To Get More Product Sales

by 2 Comments

how to get more sales

Is getting product sales on your mind? With a massive inventory of products and millions of products getting created every year, it is harder to stand out in a world that gives us countless choices. In fact, it will be impossible for someone to buy and use every product that will get created this year. Getting more product sales requires you to stand out and grow an audience, but there are various components that go into standing out and growing your audience. In this article, I will discuss 10 easy ways for you to get more sales for your products.

 

#1: Create Landing Pages With Autoresponders

Landing pages are effective pages that are optimized for getting email subscribers. Landing pages are simply pages that promote free products and have a form where people can enter their email address. The only way to access the free product is by entering an email address which is why landing pages are very attractive.

If you are using a service like iContact or Aweber, you can have your new subscribers go through an autoresponder. An autoresponder is a series of emails that are spaced out by a day or two. These emails allow you to strengthen your relationship with your readers. At the end of your autoresponder must be a product related to the free product you just offered.

If you have more than one product, then you can create multiple landing pages and autoresponders. I have landing pages and autoresponders set up for multiple training courses, and I will continue to create landing pages and autoresponders for my future products.

 

#2: Test Out One Variable Every Week

Sometimes, one small change can make a big difference. If you want to get more sales, you need to test small changes to see which ones will lead to more sales. You need to test out one variable for your product every week and see how many sales it gets. If your product makes more sales that week, then the one small change you made is a keeper, and you should apply that change to some of your other products. If your product makes fewer sales, then you should go back to the old way. It is important for you to only test out one variable every week because if you make multiple changes to your product in a short amount of time, then you won’t know which change resulted in an increase or decrease in sales. Maybe you averaged the same number of sales by testing out multiple variables, but one of those variables could have halved your sales while the other one could have doubled your sales—still giving you the same average amount of sales. You want to keep the variable that doubled your sales, but you won’t know what that variable was if you change too many things at once.

 

#3: Promote Your Product On Your Blog

The best way to promote a product on your blog is through the menu. That way, your product doesn’t take up too much space on your blog, but it takes up just enough space on your blog to be noticed. I am careful about promoting my products on my blog because I don’t want to be over-promotional. Moreover, I want people to visit my landing page and subscribe that way so I can lead them through the autoresponder sequence. It’s still good to promote your product on your blog and occasionally reference it in your blog posts. Some people buy my products because they heard about them on my blog before hearing about them anywhere else.

 

#4: Get On Joint Ventures

Joint ventures are growing in significance. In a joint venture, you and a marketer agree to promote each other’s products to your email lists. You tell your subscribers about someone else’s product and that same person tells the people on her list about your product. Joint ventures allow your product to reach new audiences and generate more sales in the process.

 

#5: Connect Your Products Together

Many people like to list their products. At the end of the public speaking event, the public speaker may mention some of the products he created and list them one by one. That’s not connecting your products together. That’s simply listing what you have.

Connecting your products together is far greater than listing them. When you connect your products together, you are letting your customers know that your products properly segue from one into the other. Think Part One’s and Part Two’s, but every product you create properly fits somewhere in the sequence. You may have two unrelated products, but if you can create a bridge in between those two products filled with the proper segues, you can get the two most unrelated products to be connected. What’s the segue from a Twitter book to a Pinterest book? What’s the segue from a photography training course to a Javascript training course? What products would you need to (and want to) create to form the proper bridge? If you don’t want to create products that create the necessary bridge, you can simply expand on those two areas. For the photography training course, you can create more products relating to photography while for the Javascript training course, you can create more products about coding languages. Just make sure no product stands alone.

[tweetthis twitter_handles=”@MarcGuberti” url=”http://bit.ly/1NM9pnK”]Connect your products together so none of them stand alone. [/tweetthis]

#6: Build An Email List And Communicate To It

A landing page is a great way to grow your email list. Here’s one of my landing pages (the free product will show you how to get more email subscribers, so it’s relevant here). However, a landing page and an autoresponder can only go so far. Many of the people who go through your autoresponder will choose to not buy your product. Then again, that’s with practically every product. Most people who see a product won’t buy it. That’s simply the nature of the game.

When you have a large email list, and you communicate to the people on your email list, you are opening the door to returning customers. Once every six weeks, you should promote your products to your email list. The money is in the list, but only if you interact with the people in your list in an effective manner.

 

#7: Use Social Media To Promote Your Products The Right Way

Social media is not the place to say, “Buy my product! Buy my product!” Social media is a place where posts with pictures and stories rule. If you can turn your product marketing into an effective story or advice in the form of pictures, your efforts will really pay off. Take for example Kim Garst who recently published Will The Real You Please Stand Up, got the book on multiple bestsellers lists. For part of her book’s promotion, she went on Twitter and tweeted to her large audience of over 300,000 followers. The tweets were valuable, contained pictures, and promoted her book all at the same time. Her tweets spread, got attention, and led to more book sales. Here is an example of one of her tweets about the book.

[tweetthis twitter_handles=”@MarcGuberti” url=”http://bit.ly/1NM9pnK”]You can use #SocialMedia to promote your products, but only if you use it the right way.[/tweetthis]

#8: Offer Discounts

Why doesn’t love discounts? Discounts are attractive because they make us feel like smart buyers who know how to effectively spend our money. Offer discounts to your subscribers and social media followers so they are more likely to buy your products. Discounts may not generate as much money, but you’ll get a sale, a customer who can spread the word, and your product will get more exposure.

 

#9: Over Deliver

When you offer a product, be sure to include bonuses and give your customer more than what he was expecting. Over delivering doesn’t necessarily change the amount of sales you make for an individual product, but your customers like when you over deliver. Some of your customers will expect an over delivery in your future products and become returning customers. Over delivering in your products doesn’t lead to much short-term sales, but for the long-term, you could get thousands of returning customers who expect you to over deliver and are grateful for all of the value you provide in your products. All you have to do at that point is consistently over deliver.

 

#10: Create More Products

One way to get more product sales is by creating more products. A second product opens the doors to returning customers. 20 products opens the doors to a higher percentage of your customers becoming returning customers. If you have one book about Twitter and one book about Pinterest, it is possible for you to get returning customers. However, some people will like Twitter and not care for Pinterest and vice-versa. If you have additional books about Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and a few other social networks, then there is a greater likelihood of a customer becoming a returning customer. One of the options is bound to attract a customer’s attention.

 

In Conclusion

Getting more product sales is on the top of many marketers’ strategies. Part of getting product sales is the marketing itself, but another part of getting product sales is the experience you provide for customers who buy your products and the experience you provide just before someone buys your product. It takes a lot of marketing to get numerous sales for your products, and in some cases, the marketing is more challenging than creating the actual product.

5 Reasons To Host Your Own Webinars

by Leave a Comment

Hosting Your Own Webinar

Have you ever listened to a webinar? For a long time, I was so busy watching YouTube videos (about my niche) and listening to podcasts that I never paid attention to webinars. With more people hosting their own webinars and getting listeners, it is hard to ignore hosting your own webinars as a powerful way to grow your business.

You may want to know what a webinar is before you dive in. A webinar is a conversation between you and another person about something relevant in your niche, and callers can come in and ask questions. Webinars are kind of like radio interviews with callers asking questions in the middle of an interview that anyone on the panel can answer. If you host your own webinar, you would let your guest answer the questions so that guest can share her expertise to your audience. If you are on a webinar, you would answer the questions so you could share your expertise to a new audience.

Webinars are highly beneficial for your business’ growth and making more connections. If you aren’t convinced to run your own webinar yet, here are five reasons to start.

 

#1: More Subscribers

The best marketers make it a requirement for listeners to enter their email addresses. Most people won’t mind entering an email address to see a webinar because at this point, entering your email address comes naturally. If you are like most people, then you have entered your email address in hundreds of different forms.

Getting your listeners to subscribe to your email list gives you a way to nurture relationships after the webinar ends and get long-term sales. When I was on my first webinar, it got over 100 listeners who entered their email addresses to get access to the webinar. I don’t know how many subscribers the host gets every day, but getting 100 subscribers in one day from one webinar is a job well done.

Imagine if you were the person getting hundreds of subscribers by hosting one webinar. Imagine if you hosted one webinar every month, so you would get the same results every month. For some people, getting 1,200 subscribers every year from webinars alone is more than the number of subscribers they get with all of their other methods put together. You want subscribers; the money is in the list.

 

#2: You Get To Personally Know Other Experts In Your Niche

Did you know that highly successful people are very open to getting interviewed? I almost never say no to an interview, and most experts share the same opinion about getting interviewed. Experts are inclined to say yes because getting interviewed means more exposure, and who nowadays doesn’t want more exposure which leads into traffic and sales? Whether an interview gets under 10 extra visitors or hundreds of extra visitor to the expert’s blog, that expert is getting more traffic and being seen in different places on the big web.

When an expert says yes and goes on your webinar, you will build a stronger relationship with that expert in your niche. If this expert repeatedly comes back on webinars, blog post interviews, and podcasts, the relationship between you and that expert will be strong, and if your listeners enjoyed the first webinar with you and that expert, they’ll enjoy the other one as well.

Knowing the successful experts and building strong relationships may lead to joint ventures later down the road. At the very least, the experts you interview on your webinar will take the time to promote that webinar to their audience. Some of your listeners will be people who knew about the expert but didn’t know who you were until they listened to the webinar. These people may have not known you before, but they’ll know you now.

 

#3: You Get To Learn From Other Experts In Your Niche

When you host a webinar with an expert in your niche, you get to ask the questions at the beginning of the interview and choose the topic of discussion. In some of the interviews I have with other people, I ask them to talk about things I already know very well. However, in several of the interviews I have had, I ask people to talk about topics that I didn’t know as much about at the time. That way, I learn more about a topic while providing an expert with more exposure.

If you are ever interviewed on a webinar, podcast, or Google+ Hangout (or if you have been in the past), don’t think that the interviewer is listening to what you say without a pen and paper in hand. The interviewer may have control over the conversation and which callers get through, but the interviewer wants to learn new things too. In my opinion, these are the best types of interviews. Interviewers ask questions that they want the answers to, and in many cases, this creates a higher value webinar in which listeners who have the same questions get to hear the answers.

[tweetthis twitter_handles=”@MarcGuberti” url=”http://bit.ly/1wgUHPQ”]Hosting your own webinar allows you to empower your audience and learn from others at the same time.[/tweetthis]

#4: More Product Sales

At the end of many webinars, a product gets special attention. On my first webinar, my Twitter products received attention. At the end of a webinar you host, you can promote a guest’s product with your affiliate link. If you can squeeze it in, promote one of your products, but don’t take the spotlight away from your guest. Some guests may return and do another webinar with you, but only if they were happy with the experience the first time. The same guests doing webinars with you multiple times leads to more exposure, and as both of your audiences grow, both of you can promote the webinar so it reaches more people. For you and the guest, this leads to more email subscribers.

 

#5: Credibility

There is something special about being able to say that you interview experts in your niche. Although he doesn’t host webinars as often, Pat Flynn hosts one of the most successful podcasts to date, and he has had the honor of interviewing several high names in various niches. The people who get on Pat Flynn’s podcast also feel the honor of being selected to be guests on the podcast. You get credibility and the guest gets credibility. It’s a win-win.

 

In Conclusion

Webinars have emerged from an unknown way to promote yourself to highly beneficial and effective ways to reach a new audience while engaging with the audience you have already built. Many experts are more than willing to be on webinars regardless of whether you get a few dozen visitors every month or a few thousand visitors every month. It never hurts to ask an expert if he would like to be on your webinar. The worst thing an expert can do is say no.

Social Media Is Dead

by 4 Comments

Technology continues to exceed our expectations and lead to new breakthroughs. A little more than a decade ago, Facebook was created, and then came the other social networks. Twitter then came into the scene, and Twitter was a big part of my growth. I then expanded my social media reach by using Pinterest, YouTube, and Facebook to grow my audience even more.

It was a great run, but social media is now dead. There is a new wave of technology that is far superior to social media or SEO. It took me an entire year to learn how social media works, and it will probably take me an entire year to discover how the new big thing works.

How strong is the suspense right now? To be quite honest, I can’t write blog posts about it yet since I’m no expert at it. A writer for the New York Times already wrote about it.

Unity Despite Chaos

by 2 Comments

Today marks a sad day in American history that no blogger is happy to write about and no one is happy to talk about, especially New Yorkers like myself. The atrocities committed on this day 13 years ago will never be forgotten. Hours after the atrocity, the only two choices America had were to give up to terrorism or bounce back. Almost as expected, the second choice was chosen, but the only reason America was able to bounce back was because of its unity.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to undo the events that happened. The only thing we can do is live in a world affected by those events and react accordingly. America reacted by uniting together and waging war against the terrorists. This brought everyone in America together, and that helped out.

It is fair to say that the world is still filled with chaos. It is entirely predictable that bad things will continue to happen. This year has been filled with devastating news stories such as what is going on in Ukraine, Ferguson, and the other places in the world where conflict continues. The atrocity committed to James Foley does not make our world look any better either. I am sad to say that there have been too many dreaded events in 2014 for me to include in one blog post.

The kind of chaos that we experience in business and personal lives is absolutely minuscule compared to the dreaded event that happened 13 years ago and all of the dreaded events that are happening in the world right now. Regardless of what kind of chaos is involved, whether it be personal or continental, the only way to rise above the chaos is to be united.

There are some things we cannot do alone, and that is entirely okay. Always be willing to ask for help, for a shoulder to lean on, or for support. In addition, always be willing to do the same things when someone else is in need just like the first responders.

Americans leaned on each other and united together on this day to fight against terrorism. Instead of their views of the nation getting crippled, Americans became more proud of their country and what the country stands for.

United together, we will always remember this day and who it affected as well as who it continues to indirectly affect to this day.
