LUYC 129: Is YouTube Worth it for Course Creators?

LUYC 129: Is YouTube Worth it for Course Creators?

Author: Janelle Allen: Learning Designer, Online Course Coach, and Entrepreneur May 27, 2020 Duration: 33:03
Hey family! I hope you are doing well. This week, we’re talking about another growth strategy: YOUTUBE. It actually took me six months to launch my YouTube channel. It wasn’t that it’s especially difficult, but I procrastinated. I found that I was stuck because of my own negative thoughts surrounding doing things that I’m not comfortable with. I mean, I’m really comfortable doing podcasts, but definitely not YouTube. There are things we procrastinate on because of this resistance within ourselves. I realized that the key to getting unstuck is taking time to reflect, acknowledging the negative loops, and acting anyway. Tune in to hear my YouTube experience, my advice for starting on YouTube from scratch, beginner tips, and DOs and DON’Ts.
