RE: Are STEEM users too Inward looking? Look outside and double your traffic.
great plan, I see a few others are also trying out patreon too. So did you make most of your earning from google organic then? that's well impressive if you did. I remember when I gave up work on the back of earning from online courses and the same thing happened to me, a drop the following year. So I had to learn marketing and learn it fast.
Would you consider putting a 'free' short course on the likes of Udemy with the upsell to premium on your own site?
Im also wondering what platform you use for your webinars? I use zenler, but when we had dlive, I did try a webinar on that, just as an experiment. Didnt work out all that well in the end because the comments were off chain so I couldn't reward them.
Im hoping with my site, i can use steem as added value over other blogs on the same topic. In not using steem to monetize my site, but incentivize users. I took a dip too over the last 12 months, but I can put it down to focusing on steem instead. Hopefully now I can recover from the dip if I put my efforts back into what I was doing before.
It's been a lot of work putting it all together... I think I rank well because A level sociology has some quite niche search terms and >40K students.
Also because everythings connnected it's quite easy to structure it/ link it together genuinly without gaming it for SEO.
But nothing lasts forever and there's competition.
As to a platform I was gonna use Adobe Connect but I think I've now found a cheaper option (can't remeber the name off the top of my head)...I used WizIQ a couple of years back which was OK!
I do want to do a free Udemy course for marketing - I've just got a few more things that have to come first!
I know very little about marketing TBH!
you can host live webinars for free on https://www.learnitlive.com/.
As wells as having to learn the marketing ropes, I also did a lot of research into platforms, instructional design and elearning. I was in a very good community on google+ for online educators, but with google+ going they are now looking for new options.
lol when one works online, there are always a few more things to do.
I'll check out 'learn it live'... cheers
There is a lot to research where e-learning is concerned.
I'm convinced it has to be part of the future for schools and colleges too - contracting out more and more learning to private parties like us.
