Behind the scenes of creating an ecourse
Last summer I signed up for an ecourse on making ecourses.
I thought it was so funny to tell people “I’m taking an ecourse on making ecourses.” It’s not even that funny now, but I was in the middle of a lockdown with the hubs and a preschooler, so I was a bit on edge.
Looking back, one wonders how much coffee played a part.
Anywho… ecourses.
I remember the first day of class…. Peppa Pig was playing (again) on the TV but I had my earphones in, I was logged on, pencils sharpened, and clicked Begin Course. Lesson 1, lesson 2, lesson 3… taking notes, filling out worksheets, watching videos.
It was all so FUN inside the private world of my earphones and printable PDFs.
Around me was the chaos of summer in lockdown with a young kid, but all I felt was the peace that comes with finally figuring out how to give myself something GOOD for ME. Midway through the lessons it dawned on me:
Making ecourses could be… FUN.
No ecourse experts ever said this. They all go on about making money and the best microphones to use, but I thought if I was having fun taking an ecourse, it might be fun making an ecourse as well.
As you know, because I’ve mentioned it a few times, I went ahead and made three writing ecourses.
It was a little stressful to figure out the tech, to decide on what content stayed and what went, and to look at my uncomfortable video face… but by the third course, I basically just got over myself.
So this week, after I put the garden to bed, typed up this week’s Typewriter Letter, I thought it was time to make another ecourse. And this time it’s a freebie.
Free. I know. I’ve been selling so much and now a free one? Am I losing it?
Entirely possible.
It makes me gleeful to even say that I have made an ecourse on making ecourses. Hahahaha.
If you have ever wondered about making ecourses, check it out. My video face shows that I’ve moved on from caring about being too slick about any of this stuff. Also, cartoons are quietly playing in the background and even Amélie shows up to teach the ABCs and how to type on a typewriter. She’s so funny! Already a pro.
