in Introductions

(Transcription) Hi, my name is Alicia. I am a counselor out in Portland, Oregon on in the West Coast of the U.S. I have been teaching on Udemy for almost six years now. I've learned so much while being in the community, in the Facebook group, and engaging with other instructors. I've gotten a ton of feedback about my course, help with marketing, SEO, direction. I have also taken lots of Udemy courses on how build to my course. I've learned editing, I've learned audio software, I've learned how to make a course. Which are skills I did not have. I am not a tech savvy person before working with Udemy. An interesting fact about me is that I am really terrible with house plants and when I started doing my next to last course about a year ago, I bought ten, had pretty greenery in the background and now I am down to just this one, sad, little Christmas cactus. So hopefully in 2019 along with continuing to build my business, gain more students and great reviews on Udemy, maybe I will take a course in houseplants and how to keep them alive.

    I have a ton of family out in Portland! I love it over there. Also, I too kill off all my house plants. I killed a succulent recently and another is dying.... :robotembarrassed:

    6 of the 10 were air plants, 3 were succulents. You should come to visit; doughnuts, weird people and coffee!!!

    Hi Alicia, I have seen your posings and nice to see you in video. Feels more familiar than just seeing text postings.

    Hi, Alicia. Just wanted to say congratulations on launching the new course. Other things have taken me away from course-building for a few months, but after mid-August I'll be back and hope to launch my first course some time toward the end of Autumn.

    Best,

    David

    Good to hear @DavidBookbinder
    my mental health courses in the last 2 months have suddenly taken off so there is clearly a need for it. When I started in 2013 it was mostly tech and it's amazing to see such growth. Have a good summer, good luck with the course building and let me know when it goes live!

    Glad to hear your courses are taking off! And, based on the number of calls I get from people looking for therapists, there is certainly a need.

    Best of luck with the courses and your summer!

    David
