Why do I love producing courses And Why I Love a Sale??
Its a question I often ask myself as it can be fun but difficult. Sometimes you get nice comments and sometimes you don’t..
You’d think that having negative comments would put you off; but to be honest its a great growing experience when you do because a lot of these students want you to improve your course.
Its great getting positive comments because this spurs you on to do your next course..
Part of the reason I like doing courses is the sales. What I aim to do is be in a position in life where I can offer my own digital products; support myself and my family and do something I enjoy.
To be honest though, if you’re only doing this for the money then you will not get far.. The main reason I do them is because I enjoy doing them. I enjoy the learning; learning of the subject I will teach. Part of it is knowing that people will be learning something I have taught.
I also love looking at the complete product/course when complete. I know that I did that; me, myself and I. It’s nice to feel that accomplishment.
The biggest thing though is the interaction. The comments and discussions. You get to know people; though that are really committed to learning but also helping. I like the questions, the thinking I have to do to answer the questions..
This is why I love doing courses… No for the plug - to you, the person reading this course then I have for you some SALE coupons.. Using the udemy coupons - code SEANSBLOG you can get any of my courses for just $5 (That's a reduction of $42 - $92 Emberon most of my couses).

Has Technology helped us to start our own business ideas? This is a question I often ask myself these days. On the surface of it; there are far more opportunities opened and it takes much less capital. But in my eyes this means there are far more people also taking that plunge.
Many years ago, to start a business you had to have your capital to start, potentially buy or make product, advertise in the local and national directories. Certainly to make it international as a business you had to get seccessful.
Then came out the Internet. That wonderful tool we all love and use. And after a few years of dodgy image sites and various personal pages; businesses started to get they idea that this was a useful media to have a presence on. Even the .com businesses were born and things were wander fun. At least from around 1997 till around 2000; peak trading is recorded at being March 10 2000.
Then the bubble burst and many of the .com companies went out of business. At this stage it's safe to say that technology didn't help us start our own business...
Those companies that did survive have managed to become some of the big players in the market; such as Amazon.
[the_ad id="178"]The good news since then though, at least in my eyes, is that companies have learnt that the biggest advertising force, the best tool to get their brand sold is use, the consumers. By giving us the facility to earn a percentage of their profit by helping them sell their product is a brilliant concept and so affiliate marketing is the biggest help to use to create our own business.
Affiliate marketing gives use the option to advertise products to sell. Products that we don't need to stock ourselves. Products that when sold we earn a commission on. I've seen many online shops created that sell just affiliate products as all you need is a web domain and something like WordPress with WooCommerce. Technology has done well here.
For those that want to sell products sites such as eBay were born. Sites were you can auction off things that you don't want. You can even advertise products for drop shipping which is where you sell a product and its shipped from the manufacturer.
Even Amazon selling is easy to do. You can sell your old items through a seller account. You can sell as an affiliate. You can even buy products from drop shippers that will take the products you purchase to Amazon; you sell through Amazon and Amazon gets it delivered. They even advertise it. So you just pay for the product and a percentage to Amazon. How easy is that...
Next thing we have is advertising such as Google Adwords. You can create a website or blog. You can get a Google Adsense account and you can sell space on your site for advertising. You can even create video and put on YouTube and use Adsense. Some people make their entire living this way.
Finally we have sites where you can sell a digital product. We have clickbank where many products are sold by affiliates. You also have sites such as Udemy where you become a teacher.
So, has technology made it easier to start our own business? Yes BUT so easy that many are doing it making it harder to get noticed. Marketing today is different to years gone by. But that is another subject.
As a side note. You can even run much of a business from a smart phone these days. This blog post was created entirely with a iPhone as an example.
Build A WordPress eCommerce Website In Less Than 1 Hour. I spent some time looking at creating my own eCommerce website; I have done so for a number of years.
Previously it involved lots of code, premium products and knowledge how to put it all together. However; as time has gone on I found that it has gotten easier and easier.
Combine that with all the affiliate products that are now out there; you don’t even need to own an item to sell it and make money.
So, over this time of research I found that you could create this eCommerce site easier and easier to the point where I managed to figure out I could create this website in an hour.
Now.. a little caveat in that; this hour is to build the site - that doesn’t include the time you spent creating logos, adding all products, adding blog posts etc. That in itself can take a lot of time; to get right. But that hour does include setting up the site, creating the layout, adding a few products even.. You can go from no site to having a site selling products in just 1 hour.
So, having figured out this methods I decided to share it and so created a course on Udemy. This course has been up a week and already got a rave review which is great - to the point that people see just how easy it is to create their eCommerce site..
[the_ad id="178"]
Best part is that; because this is my course; because this is my site; I can give exclusive coupons.. Exclusive to the point of cheap cheap cheap.
As an example, this course I have giving away at just $5.. Yes $5 which, when you consider you can create a living from a eCommerce site is a tiny investment. There is a limited number of coupons though so get in while they are there.
Interested? I would have been rather than spend all the time I spent figuring out this stuff..
If so then just use this link below and get learning.. Also, as a side note. This course is evolving with every question I get so please feel free to leave some discussions..
