 Dave you asked me about you know how many basically how much time I spent together putting putting together a course How much you know how big is my team? I laugh at that because my Okay, okay. I'm the only person I have no assistance My only assistants are I do actually I have I have three assistants. I have Google Calendar. Okay. I have to do this And I have Zapier Okay, Zapier is really my my biggest assistant because that beer has a bunch of automations that I use for my courses that so I have I have Almost 20 courses for sale on my website. I get sales of random courses, you know all month long and I don't have to do anything It's all automated everything is I have a fourth assistant. It's called MailChimp and so a fifth assistant called PayPal So PayPal MailChimp Zapier my assistants. It's all hooked up. They all do that My I have assistants as Fortune 500 companies essentially. I have big assistants, you know, so anyway, so I have so in terms of how much time I spend Basically My each each course of mine has like multiple modules or parts, you know Nowadays my courses have six parts each the first part usually takes me about six hours to prepare for the first part Each part is about an hour and a half of course delivery And the six hours just spent, you know The course document the first module takes me longer because I had to like sketch out the entire course And you know the outline the whole thing and then prepare for the first module and probably parts of the second one so that I feel Good about starting and so I take six hours to prepare for the first session It's first teaching session and then each teaching session after that takes me about three to four hours to prepare And I really shouldn't take more than that if I take more than that then I know I'm taking I'm over preparing And so three to four hours per course delivery session is just about enough time because I've learned and I'm still learning. I'm doing a bad job of it I teach too much Like I put too much material into every course. Yeah, it's too overwhelming And so I it's taking me 12 years and I still haven't learned the lesson So I'm trying to be better about over time. So Vulnerability, I appreciate that. Yeah, no, I totally yeah, I mean for For all of us who really care as teachers and as you know service providers, we tend to over prepare and give too much So and too much is not necessarily a good thing if the student is overwhelmed. They can't absorb and they can't Integrate and then and then I have two additional hours every week for for that's related to my course business, which is one hour for marketing and one hour for a follow-up and The hour for marketing. I have a checklist for each week So I have like a pre-launch checklist takes me about an hour I have my pre-launch actually happens in about a three week So I do three hours for pre-launch over three weeks leading up to the to the actual Hey, it's ready for early bird, you know sign up It takes me about three weeks and one hour each week Like the first week is like setting up my automations mail ships happier blah blah blah The second week is you know drafting the the the post the email The post anyway getting some feedback on it the third week is like anyway different different You know checklist and things like that and then uh, and then you know And then the launch week has as basically there's two launch weeks Anyway, essentially one hour for marketing one hour for follow the follow-up is basically sending out the recordings So this week, you know this week instead of teaching a class session We're doing these q&a. So my one hour follow-up this week will be Processing these recordings and sending them out to to to all the recent students Dave any other questions from there? um No, that's that's pretty uh, good overview. I think so this and you cover you have that course Like how to make a course. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah that recent was that recorded and like what's yeah, that's that was I think probably 2018. I'm gonna relaunch that later this year So you might just want to wait for that. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So then it'll include my learnings from the last three years now I'm doing things now. Okay. That's that's good. Good heads up. Yeah. Okay. Great. No, thanks. I appreciate all you offer and Thank you your take on things. Thank you very much. You're welcome and yes, I I will also have an upcoming course about zappier and how exactly I use it because it is obviously It's taken more than like five minutes to show you around there. So um, that's coming up and uh Anita says what software to edit. Um, do you mean videos? I don't edit any of my videos For courses I edit I edit videos uh for my my my free videos the one I record via phone Sometimes it records some free videos via phone. So I might edit using uh cap wing to put a lower third I have a video on my youtube channel search, you know, george pal cap wing And k a p w i n g that's software But for my course videos, I don't I don't edit the simplest way I do it Now nowadays as of 2021 I'm recording middle of 2021 I'm recording my courses in little segments and each each module is essentially a youtube playlist of little segments And my students are quite enjoying that and so I you know The course ends up being like four to six youtube playlists with like shorter segments and it's easier to watch easier for me to refer to You know, if I need to send a client a particular segment It's much easier and also easier for me to update the course In the future when I need updated and like oh that particular segment is outdated Let me record another one and the rest is fine and that's that's great thing about recording courses So the way I do it I record it in zoom and I basically Start the recording at the start of a segment and when the when that segment is done I end the recording like I'm about to do now
