It just so happens this listener is in luck, because next week is all about discovering what is essential to launching your product or service. But if you’re listening in real time, there’s no need to wait until tomorrow."My side hustle is teaching. In particular, I help folks launch careers in data analytics and visualization. So far, I've been teaching in person or through live online classes. I now want to scale my business with recorded videos. My question is I'm overwhelmed with all the tools I need to set up and run an online business for websites. We have SquareSpace where press wakes or building a custom website for video recordings. We have Camtasia for screencast, Teachable for e-mail marketing. There's Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and then there's a SEO, SEM, Facebook, Instagram marketing. Oh my God, I’m a techie and find this overwhelming! Not to mention picking the right plan within those tools and then the cost. Do you have suggestions on how to filter and choose the best online tools to help scale my business?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
