But if you’re anything like me, you wanted to utilize the quarantine and come out of it as an all-new you. You’d work out, build a (side) business, keep up with industry trends, and teach yourself an all-new skill set.
Well, I didn’t. I was overwhelmed, to say the least. I went on with my usual routine, but didn’t overdo anything else except low-key freakout on a daily basis.
(Oh, btw I DID start a new business, but more on that later)
And now it’s September – which is usually my most productive month of the year, and it’s time to go back to normal as much as possible. I’ve had over 6 months to adjust to this whole COVID-19 situation. It’s time to get dressed and focus on growth – personally & in business.
With more people at home than ever before, online learning has gone mainstream—and it’s incredible to witness. Online courses have changed my business and my life, giving me more freedom to do (and teach!) what I love.
Have you ever considered offering online courses or coaching?
Since 2015, more than 100,000 creators have sold over $500 million in courses and coaching on Teachable. But half of that—$250 million—was in the last year. I wasn’t lying when I said we’re going mainstream.
If you’ve ever thought about turning your expertise into online courses or coaching, now is the time to do it.
This is the first step to join the thousands of people who have started making money through online courses! By registering, you’ll also be entitled to special bonuses when you buy a Teachable plan (The normal price starts at $29 – if you create an online course and sell one you’d probably make that back, imagine getting a discount on the monthly price!)

If you want your blog to be as successful as possible, you need to think about many things at once. One of the main things that you will have to focus on, however, is your marketing. In particular, you are going to have to make sure that your branding is on point, and that is something that you will find yourself working on from the very start if you want it to be effective.
