I think it's the Irish mystique that made Heaney popular in the U.S. MFA programs. When I was in an MFA program and Heaney visited, there was a definite: "Let's-meet-the-authentic-Irishman" feeling in the air. The same was true with Eavan Boland, except it was "the Irishwoman". After the absolutely-packed reading — packed with the general reading public and the usual poetry-loving suspects — people were abuzz about his Irish accent.

McThoughts: 2015 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series
By Jeff McConkey
It's finally here!!! A1 goes off tomorrow from Angel Stadium in snowy California. Yes, I said snowy. Let's hope the weather doesn't ruin the great action, as this is the most stacked 450 class ever! I'm still pretty pissed at the FIM and their handling of James Stewart and his suspension. The series will still be amazing without James, but I am a 'Bubba' fan and I love watching the #7. With James and Ryan Villopoto out, the title could be won by many. Most are calling the title Ken Roczen's to lose, but there are just too many great riders to hand it over just yet. I'm going to give you my breakdown of the riders and their spots in the class.
Potential Race Winners and Championship Contenders:
Ken Roczen: Kenny is in a good spot and riding high after his National Championship and is full of confidence.
Trey Canard: Trey is hot right now and is a serious title threat.
Eli Tomac: Eli is going to surprise a lot of people.
Ryan Dungey: Dungey is 'Mr. Consistency,' he just needs to pull the trigger earlier if he wants this title. No more 'Mr. Nice Guy.'
Davi Millsaps: Davi is coming off a long lay-off. He loves his new bike and is healthy…that is a dangerous combo.
Chad Reed: When you count Chad out, that is the most dangerous Chad you can have. The fire is still there.
Potential Podium Finishers:
Justin Barcia: Barcia just doesn't look great to me on the JGR Yamaha. He will be fast, but on the ground a lot.
Jason Anderson: I love watching this kid ride. He will show some serious speed.
Dean Wilson: 'Deano' will be very good; he may even sneak in a win.
Josh Grant: 'JG33' has serious speed and will unleash it a few times this season and put in some great rides.
Potential Top 10 Guys:
Josh Hill: Hill is back on a Yamaha and he will show some serious speed. Top 5's will be in his grasp most weekends.
Justin Brayton: I just see Brayton being a tad off the pace from the top group.
Cole Seely: I see Cole getting hurt and missing a lot of races.
Andrew Short: Short will ride with heart every week and give you some good rides.
Will Hahn: 'Wilbur' will have the highest points total out of this group at seasons end.
Westin Peick: Peick has the heart, just not the talent to be a top 5 guy. It doesn't matter what bike he is on.
On The Bubble:
Jake Weimer: Only time will tell how Jake rebounds after losing his factory ride.
Broc Tickle: Broc has a question mark beside his name. Hopefully, he can bounce back after a near career-ending injury last year.
Blake Baggett: Blake is a complete unknown on a 450. And with teammate Stewart out suspended, I see too much pressure to perform for poor Blake. I see him crashing out way before Daytona.
My Predictions for A1:
450 Class:
1st: Trey Canard
2nd: Eli Tomac
3rd: Ken Roczen
4th: Chad Reed
5th: Dean Wilson
250 Class:
1st: Justin Hill
2nd: Cooper Webb
3rd: Josh Hansen
4th: Malcolm Stewart
5th: Tommy Hahn

I didn't do so much with the iPad (yet) and the workshop by Shari Blaukopf had a lot of rainshowers, so I didn't finish the watercolors, but I learned a lot and I hope it will show later in my sketches.
And make it more dynamic by splashing paint on the sketch.
On the right is a sketch I started the day before, during lunchtime. Grant Park is on the other side of the road from our hub: The American Academy of Arts.
I finished this sketch with the attitude Jenny Zhang learned us.
In the afternoon it was time to do the workshop by Gabi Campanario. We all got a little sketchbook (9 x 14 cm.) of the epsilon series from Stillman and Birn and two pencils. A 3B and a 4H.
To become a fearless urban sketcher, ti's best to have a small, easy to carry notebook. It's ideal to make quick sketches when you don't have much time to spare.
He also gave the handles to sketch a whole street and skyscraper. into this little book.
We made some sketches to practice and I had to get used to the small size, but two days after the Seminar, when I was meeting some ladies of the Chicago Urban Sketchers I had some time left and made a sketch of the Tribune Building (below).

ALEXANDRIA, VA (June 29, 2015) – The Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF) today announced the recipients of its new State Innovative R3 Program Grants. The Georgia Wildlife Resources Division, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department are the first three states to receive funds through this new grants program to support innovative and sustainable state marketing initiatives that focus on increasing fishing license sales and boat registrations through recruiting, retaining and reactivating (R3) anglers and boaters.
"The programs we will be funding in Georgia, Nebraska and Vermont are paramount in our effort to grow the number of anglers and boaters in the United States," said RBFF President & CEO Frank Peterson. "We look forward to sharing the results of these programs and hope that similar initiatives can be implemented in other states to further help with our goal of getting more Americans out on the water."
The Georgia Wildlife Resources Division will test a program to increase boat registration renewals and shorten the lapse period by providing boat owners an easy and convenient telephone Interactive Voice Response (IVR) option for registration renewal. Boat owners will receive a call before expiration and after expiration (if no action was taken) and allow owners to register over the phone. Additionally, the program will include message testing and will be promoted through social media, website and radio PSAs.
"I am thrilled with the receipt of this RBFF grant as it will allow our agency to proceed with the development of a new telephone interactive voice response option for boat registration renewal," said Dan Forster, Georgia Wildlife Resources Division Director. "This easy and convenient system will allow for expedited communication with boat owners prior to the expiration of their boat registration."
In an effort to establish an automated email system to replace their current manual process, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is implementing a program to develop better relationships with customers by automatically sending timely and targeted emails to anglers with information and resources available and expiration reminders. Additionally, emails will be personalized and customized based on past license purchases to encourage short-term license buyers to buy an annual or multi-year license.
"We are pleased to work with RBFF to develop better relationships with our customers by providing them with timely, useful materials to improve their fishing, boating and other outdoor experiences. As an agency, one of our highest priorities is to adopt digital communication methods that enhance our customers' experiences and engage them for a better outdoor experience," said Jim Douglas, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission Director.
The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is targeting the urban demographic and people who stay in Vermont state parks with "Reel Fun Vermont," a campaign that will utilize a combination of media strategies to increase participation in fishing. Using video PSAs, web, print, radio and social media, they will promote "Reel Fun Vermont" and fishing opportunities in the local parks to reach new target audiences.
"Vermont offers some of the finest fishing in the Northeast," said Louis Porter, Commissioner of Vermont Fish & Wildlife. "We're excited to introduce Vermont State Park visitors to the great fishing in the lakes, rivers, and ponds right where they're camping. We will also use this grant to encourage residents of Chittenden County to get outside this summer and explore the best and most accessible places to fish within a bike ride or short drive from where they live."
Grant proposals were reviewed and selected by RBFF staff and a Proposal Review Working Group made up of industry Board members, Federal agency and NGO representatives. Overall, RBFF received 19 proposal submissions with a wide variety of ideas to consider.
At the conclusion of the programs, learnings will be shared so that successful programs can be replicated and implemented as sustainable programs in states across the country.
For more information about RBFF's programs, visit TakeMeFishing.org/corporate.
About the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF)
RBFF is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to increase participation in recreational angling and boating, thereby protecting and restoring the nation's aquatic natural resources. RBFF developed the award-winning Take Me Fishing™ and Vamos A Pescar™ campaigns to create awareness around boating, fishing and conservation, and educate people about the benefits of participation. Take Me Fishing and Vamos A Pescar help boaters and anglers of all ages and experience levels learn, plan and equip for a day on the water. The campaign websites, TakeMeFishing.org, and VamosAPescar.org, feature how-to videos, information on how to get a fishing license and boat registration, and an interactive state-by-state map that allows visitors to find local boating and fishing spots.

Trump Admin Expands Hunting and Fishing at National Wildlife Refuges
The Trump administration said Tuesday that it is expanding hunting and fishing in 77 national wildlife refuges.
The Interior Department's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said hunters and anglers can shoot and cast their rods on 2,200 square miles of federally protected land in 37 states.
"This is the largest single effort to expand hunting and fishing access in recent history," Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said last month before the changes were posted Tuesday in the Federal Register.
It's the latest effort by the Trump administration to open public lands to recreation and industry, including oil and gas drilling, which some critics claim comes at the expense of the environment and wildlife.
President Donald Trump also has scaled back two sprawling national monuments in Utah, a move that opened the lands that were cut to potential drilling and mining. New plans for the monuments allow more grazing and recreation.
Hunting and fishing will be allowed at seven national wildlife refuges for the first time and expanded at 70 others.
The agency, which also now permits it at 15 national fish hatcheries, said some 5,000 regulations have been eliminated or simplified to match state rules.
Hunting groups generally supported the changes.
Chief Executive Officer Adam Putnam of Ducks Unlimited, a group that works to conserve waterfowl habitat, said the changes wouldn't harm wildlife populations.
He said simplifying regulations by adopting state rules would draw more people outdoors.
"It's going to encourage new hunters and anglers to enter the sport and fall in love with the outdoors and become lifelong conservationists," he said.
Idaho Department of Fish and Game officials, like several other state wildlife agencies, said the federal changes fell short of what they wanted.
The U.S. agency said in the newly released rule that it looked forward to working with states on future changes for the start of the 2020 fall hunting season.
Idaho wildlife officials didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press.
Some conservationists, however, said the changes went into effect without adequate environmental review.
"While the Trump policy retains federal ownership, it basically eviscerates federal management," said Jeff Ruch of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility. "The states end up managing federal land with federal dollars but following state laws. That's a sea change from federal management for conservation and biodiversity rather than promoting hunting."
One of the big concerns is that state and federal officials don't appear to have a monitoring system to see what effect the changes might have, not only on game species but those that aren't hunted, Ruch claimed.
Among the areas opening to hunting and fishing for the first time are the 4 ½ square miles at the Leadville National Fish Hatchery in central Colorado.
Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge in southern Idaho faces two significant changes: opening a season for hunting elk with bows and arrows and extending boating season by a month.
President Theodore Roosevelt founded the National Wildlife Refuge system in 1903, signing an executive order to establish the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge in Florida to protect several types of birds from ornamental plume hunters.
There are now more than 550 national wildlife refuges.

Whats up with all the Civic Type-R's?
It seems like it was only yesterday that the 2018 CTR was released. Dealers have been asking ridiculous mark-ups and each dealership is only getting a few. Yet despite this, I've managed to see multitudes of CTR's on the streets. I think on one single trip, I saw 3-4 CTR's in one day. Is it only me or is the CTR not that rare, despite being a halo car? Even my neighbor has one. I get the hype behind it being the first Civic Type-R on US shores, but it doesn't do it for me. I get the impression from most reviews that it's a bit watered down compared to previous type-R's, and the looks are just too out there for me, being a 32yo male. Honestly wish they would've stuck to the more 'pure' formula of previous Type-R's instead of adding all that cladding. Despite its aggressive looks, it will get beat up by many 4-doors in your normal light-to-light drag (Kia Stinger GT for example). Here's to hoping in later years, they sell a more stripped down, 'pure' package which has less body add-ons and electronic nannies, similar to the old Integra Type-R.

Leave Your Hyperbolic Time Chamber To Battle Once Again
In order to defeat Perfect Cell in this new dice rolling game from IDW, players will take the role of their favorite Z Fighter or Krillin.
Dragon Ball Z: Perfect Cell is a cooperative dice rolling, pool-building game set in the Dragon Ball Z universe. Each fighter has a special ability which will help them in battle.
At the start of each round, Cell reveals some techniques and attacks the he plans to use. Some effects happen immediately, while most don't trigger until the end of the round, giving players time to cancel those techniques. Techniques that are not dealt with will remain in the following rounds, potentially allowing Cell to become very powerful very quickly.
Not to be outdone so easily, the Z Fighters are also able to gain additional powerups. Fans of the show will recognize Senzu Beam, Super Saiyan Form, Kamehameha and many, many others.
Each of the players starts with a pool of 5 dice with 4 different symbols: attack, super attack, Dragon Ball and Assist. Players will use these dice to perform attacks, activate their own powerups and cancel Cell's techniques.
Because players can share dice with each other, working together and cooperation are a big factor in determining the outcome on Dragon Ball Z: Perfect Cell. Because of this, players are never left without options during their turn. Either granting an extra die to another player to use or to help with with extra rerolls.
If the Z Fighters can deal enough damage to Cell before he runs through his Technique deck, Cell is defeated and the players win!

When I talk to people about what Teachable does, more often than not, their ears perk up, their eyes brighten, and they exclaim something like, "Oh! I've been thinking about doing a course!" I get it: Creating an online course allows you to make money talking about something you love, and do it from anywhere. It means doing something that energizes you and gives you more control over what your career looks like, and how you live your life.
And that's huge! But when I ask what kind of course they want to create, they suddenly turn bashful, back away, and mutter, "Oh, I'm not sure yet. I have to figure it out."
This exchange has happened so many times it got me thinking—why do so many would-be course creators get stuck just thinking about teaching online?
My guess? It's a prioritization problem.
Creating a course involves countless tiny steps, and it's easy to get stuck in a "chicken-or-the-egg" scenario, wondering what comes first. Meanwhile, since there are no clear goals to hit, it's impossible to stay on track, and you end up just feeling bad about yourself.
Here at Teachable, we spend a lot of time thinking about the ideal path a course creator needs to take to go from thinking about creating an online course to succeeding at it.
In this post, I'm going to cover all the steps you need to work through, in what order, and how to tell when you're ready to move from one phase to another.
We've published a course creator's checklist before. In this post I'm going to break it down even more, so you can get a clear picture of the hurdles you need to make.
This is a long post, so bookmark this page and check back as you work through each step. I recommend reading through this once, then taking notes on a plan of your own!
Step 1. Choose your topic
My guess is you've already got a vague idea of what you'd like to create your online course about. You've got your own interests and passions, and perhaps you already have an online business.
Let's take your vague idea and turn it into a money making course topic.
The key here is to marry your passions and skills with your audience's wants and needs.
Begin with what you have
If you're already a coach or teacher
You can transform an existing curriculum or program into an online course. Which of your programs are the most popular? What questions do your clients ask you the most?
Chances are, your existing clientele has already told you exactly what kind of course you should create. If they're interested in your expertise in coaching form, they'll be interested in course form, too.
If you're already a content creator
Look to your analytics. Which pieces of content are getting the most engagement and traffic? It's likely that you'll be viewed as an expert on your high traffic topics by your audience.
You can also look to your comments and social media messages. Which questions are people asking you? Do you hear one or two questions over and over again? That might be a good place to start for narrowing down a course topic. You could also post a message in a niche Facebook group to discover common struggles your audience is dealing with.
If you're starting from zero
First things first: congratulations on beginning this new adventure! Things are about to get very exciting for you.
With your clean slate, you can build a brand and create a course on any topic at all. Figure out what you love to do and what you could teach people. Now try and figure out where the two overlap.
Narrow it down
Theoretically, you could create infinite online courses and bring all of your brilliant ideas to life. But let's say our goal is to release your first profitable online course as quickly as possible.
Ask yourself these questions:
Which would be the easiest, fastest, and least expensive subject for you to create a course around? This will eliminate potential blockers.
Which course will you enjoy creating the most? If you're having fun creating your course you're less likely to get burnt out or lose motivation.
Which topics align with your long-term goals? Creating a long-term and sustainable business means thinking ahead.
Validate your course topic
Validating your online course idea is essential if you're worried about whether or not you'll have any interest in your course.
We've borrowed a validation tactic from Jeff Cobb that involves four categories of research: searching, listening, asking, and testing.
Searching: Searching is the easiest and fastest way to validate your course topic. All you do is search the Internet to see what other people are looking for, clicking on, and engaging with.
BuzzSumo is a great tool for seeing what online content is attracting the most attention. It's particularly useful for seeing what is being shared on social media.
Another tool is the Amazon Kindle Store, which is actually a search engine filled with ebooks and other information products. You can search for successful ebooks on your topic.
Listening: See what people in your target audience are already wondering. Quora is a place for people to ask any kind of question they have, and wait for subject matter experts to weigh in on the answers. It's valuable here for you to see not just what questions people are asking, but also how others are answering.
Do you notice any subject matter experts? What products are they promoting?
Do you notice a certain topic sparking a discussion or debate?
Are there lots of people weighing in, but no conclusive answers?
Is everyone saying the same thing, but missing something?
Do people link to outside resources? What quality are those resources?
Asking: Get the answer on whether not people will buy straight from the source. The thing is, you can't actually straight up ask because often times people aren't able to accurately predict their own future behavior.
Instead, you should ask questions that will tell you what challenges people are facing. If your course solves their problems, that's a good sign that people will purchase.
A few ways to ask are:
Begin asking questions in forums like Quora
Ask questions in more niche forums or groups, if there are any in your industry or discipline
Create a survey to share with your audience, using a service like Survey Monkey, Ask Your Target Market, or Google Forms
Do 20–30 minute video calls or meet in person, so you can read body language and learn more than you would on the phone.
Testing: The idea is to put a product in front of your audience and see if they're interested in buying. This can be a smaller ticket item like an ebook or PDF.
Instead of starting off the bat with a paid product, you can use a lead magnet. This allows you to see if your audience are willing to give you something in exchange for your expertise. In this case it's just their email address.
Once you've got your foot in the door, they'll be more likely to pay for your products down the road.
Find your audience
One of the common mistakes we see online entrepreneurs make is they don't know who it is they're selling to. It's hard to cater a product to your audience when you don't even know who your audience is.
Step 1: Who do you want to help?
I'm sure you have a vague idea of who you're best suited to help. If not, ask yourself a few of these questions: What group do you understand better than anyone else? WHat do you care most deeply about? Is there a specific community that could truly benefit from your knowledge? A group that you're part of that you deeply understand?
Step 2: Research
Researching is the fun part. First, Google your course topic and related words and phrases. Take a look at the results. What sites are popping up? What are the similarities that you're seeing? Is there a certain group of people that is interested in your topic?
Check Quora and see what questions people are asking about your topic and dig into their profiles. What other things are they interested and where else are they spending their time? See how deeply you can dig and try to make predictions about who these people are.
Step 3: Find similarities
1. Is your audience mostly located in a specific country?
2. What language does your audience speak?
3. Are they mostly male, female, or evenly represented?
4. What's the level of education?
5. What age range are most of them?
6. Are there any other identifying characteristic or similarities in the group?
Refine your topic
The more nitty gritty you can get with your course topic, the better. If you're too broad, you'll find yourself in the creation stage for forever. Try to narrow it down to one specific transformation.
For example: Instead of creating a course on how to open your own online shop on Etsy, you could create a course walking your audience through how to create your own online shop selling handmade goods on Etsy while balancing their full-time job.
Kick off your curriculum
When you're writing your course curriculum, the easiest way to begin is to put yourself back into your students' shoes. Look back to when you were learning whatever it is you're teaching and write out the major milestones that you had to cover to get to where you are.
Write each milestone down. This will help you visualize what your course will look like and ensure that it won't be too big.
Example milestone / transformation:
After taking my course, people who are trying to start a blog will have beautifully designed websites and they'll have a clear idea of what content to publish. They'll feel confident about the direction of their site, and have ease when it comes to choosing which content to publish and promote. People who take my course will be able to:
Choose and purchase a domain
Set up hosting
Set up WordPress
Choose a theme
Create an editorial calendar
Set up social media sites for their blog
Create and promote their content
Name your school and course
You wouldn't believe how many people get caught up by this step. They know they want to move forward, but without anything to call their brand they throw in the towel.
I'll let you in on a secret: You don't need to have a perfect name to have a successful brand. Of course, a great name is obviously ideal, but don't get too hung up on this step.
Here are some quick tips for naming your school:
Keep it short.
Make it memorable.
Choose relevant keywords.
See if the domain is available.
Before naming your course, you need to do two things:
Identify your target audience. This shouldn't be too stressful, we did this earlier! For example: Mothers who want to create an extra stream of income through selling their crafts online. They want to be able to send their kids to music lessons and day camps without having to stress about money.
Craft a transformation. Again, this is something you likely already have in the back of your mind. For example: After taking my course, my students will be running successful and profitable Etsy shops. They'll be making at least $1,000 extra dollars a month on Etsy shop and they'll be able to enroll their kids into whichever extracurriculars they'd like.
There are three rules to writing a good course name:
It should be benefit-driven.
It should be specific.
It should convey emotion.
To keep in line with my Etsy example, perhaps you want to brand your students as "supermoms." Naming your course "How to be a supermom" conveys emotion and you could argue it's benefit driven, but it's not specific.
Instead, something like "The Supermom's Guide to Earning More" shows exactly what will happen as a result of taking your online course.
Step 2. Build your audience
You've got your perfect course all mapped out and you're ready to grow your audience so you can have a massive launch. Good for you!
Luckily, we've perfected our audience growing tactics and have created a fool-proof formula to help you explode your audience.
I know, you're probably super eager to create your bread and butter course, but first we'll create a mini course that you can use to get your foot in the door and grow your audience. This is something you'll give away for free in exchange for an email address.
When selecting a mini course topic, you should never start from scratch. Instead, you should work backwards from your main course.
If there is one specific section in your main course that you think would make a great transformation for a mini course, start there.
The key to creating your mini course…
… is to keep it mini. We see so many people offering "mini-courses" that could be stand-alone products selling for hundreds of dollars because the creator got carried away. And while it's incredibly generous to give away all of that for free, that's not our goal today.
Creating a mini course is actually quite formulaic, too:
Create ONE section in a Teachable course.
Add course information as text lessons.
Add a valuable download.
Add images to your text if necessary to explain what you're doing.
Try to use only one section, and try not to add more than 5–7 steps.
You can also use video in your mini course, but again, try not to get carried away. Instead, create a single introduction video and a single video in your mini course. Keep with text lessons and valuable downloads for most of your content. We'll save the high-value videos for your main offer!
Regardless of what stage your business is in, we have a plan already in place for you and your business—for free. Join our Free Plan today to take your entrepreneurship to new heights. No credit card required.
Getting people to sign up for your mini course
Unfortunately, you have to do more than just create your mini course to get people to sign up. It takes a good amount of promotion to get your name out there especially if you're new to the online marketing space.
Let's talk about a few ways to attract new traffic to your mini course:
Find your audience on an existing platform
Paying for traffic
When you tap into someone else's traffic, you:
Go to in-person events, like conferences where there is a built-in audience, and talk to real people about your course.
Guest post on other sites and blogs, directing readers back to your course.
Make your course available to influencers and experts in your niche, and ask them to mention it to their audience in exchange
Talk about your work (and your course) as a guest on webinars and podcasts.
And you can also find your audience on an existing platform. To do that, you can:
Promote your course on social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest
Create video content on YouTube to drive viewers back to your course.
Go to question and answer forums like Quora and provide a lot of value with your answers and link back to your course
Step 3. Create your curriculum
Your curriculum acts as the skeleton of your online course. You'll build everything around your curriculum, it acts like an outline.
We crafted our transformation earlier on in the post, and identified our milestones, too. For the sake of the example, I'll copy them here:
After taking my course, people who are trying to start a blog will have beautifully designed websites and they'll have a clear idea of what content to publish. They'll feel confident about the direction of their site, and have ease when it comes to choosing which content to publish and promote. People who take my course will be able to:
Choose and purchase a domain
Set up hosting
Set up WordPress
Choose a theme
Create an editorial calendar
Set up social media sites for their blog
Create and promote their content
You'll see above that I have seven main "milestones." As a rule of thumb, we generally recommend choosing between 5-10 milestones.
If your course has more than ten milestones, ask yourself "why?" Is it because your topic really is so extensive, or should you break your topic down into multiple smaller courses? If there are too many milestones, you may want to go back and redefine your topic.
On the other hand, too few milestones might mean that your course would be better off as a minicourse. Trust your gut.
Once you've defined your milestones, break them down into lessons.
As a rule of thumb, each lesson should cover one major takeaway and won't take more than ten minutes to explain.
Let's break down one of our example milestones into lessons:
Milestone: Create an editorial calendar
Lesson one: What is an editorial calendar and why do you need one? (8 minutes)
Lesson two: Digital or physical planner? (4 minutes)
Lesson three: Everything to include in your editorial planner (7 minutes)
The power of short videos
You want your course to be munchable, or easy to consume. If your student goes through you course and forgets a very specific point, it'll be easier for them to go through and find their information if there are clearly labeled 6 minutes videos, rather than having to rewatch an entire 60 minute video.
Types of content for your course
Online courses don't have to consist of just videos. There are five main content types we tend to see course creators use.
Text and photo lessons: These are made up a lot like this blog post. Utilizing written word and photos to get a point across. These are the easiest lessons to create and they take no advance skill. Plus, they can be built entirely on Teachable.
PDFs, spreadsheets, and other documents: If your course has a workbook, a cheat sheet, or resource material that you want students to easily reference, you may want to make it available for download in PDF form. Offering these extra materials can really help your students feel like they're getting a great value.
Screencasting, or screen recording: With screencasts, you can demonstrate a topic on your computer and record the screen. Often, when screencasting, you'll also include an audio voiceover, which you can record at the same time or after you have the video recorded. These simple videos are a great way for you to directly teach your students without being on camera yourself.
Video: Here you can speak directly to your customers. Sitting down on video is a great way to really make that connection with your audience and get your points across. Video is a great content choice, but there are times when Text & photo might be better, like when there is too much information to recite on video.
Recording video
There are a number of different ways you can create video for your online course, all with their own set of pro's and con's.
Talking head videos: When you're sitting down and talking to the camera, this is a "talking head" video.
Video demonstrations: Here you'd record a video teaching your audience how to do something specific like cooking or painting or building something.
Interviews: Interviews can add a lot of value to your online course, and you can offer these interviews as bonus content.
Video tips
Lighting is important. Use natural lighting when possible, but always make sure that you're well-lit, without shadows or tinted lights. Lamps and house lights can look yellow, but even an inexpensive professional light kit can give your lighting a professional look.
When all else fails, standing near a large window or standing glass door can provide beautiful results.
But audio is more important. Viewers are actually more tolerant of low-quality video than choppy, fuzzy audio. Film in a quiet location, with no air conditioners or heaters running. Make sure there is a lot of soft material covering hard surfaces to prevent echo, too.
Off frame, cover the walls, floors, counters, and other hard surfaces with blankets, pillows, and laundry to dullen the echo.
Think about the scenery. It's easy to just hit "record," but first make sure your scenery looks good. What's in the background of your shot? A blank white sheet always works, but a tidy office or workspace looks great, too.
Make eye contact. When filming, look straight at the camera lens and avoid shifting your eyes around the room, down at your script, etc. If you have to look at your script, make sure to pause before looking down and before looking back up so you can edit those parts out!
Step 4. Launch your course
This is the most exciting part of your entire journey, you've been working towards this for weeks! When you finally open your doors and launch, that's when all of your hard work begins to pay off.
But you're not out of the woods, yet. You see, not all launches are created equally, and some launches have higher success rates than others. To simplify it, we recommend launching to your email list and holding an open-close launch.
An Open-Close Course Launch just means that you make your course available for enrollment for a limited time only. Instead of making your product available year round, your course will have launch windows and you can only purchase within that time frame.
You might feel like this is counterintuitive, afterall, you want as many people as possible to buy your course, right? Well, let me explain the elements that make open-close launches so successful.
The first is anticipation. When you run a course launch, you don't start the launch with an announcement that your course is available. You send emails leading up to the big release day that build excitement around the topic of your course. This builds anticipation for your audience and keep them reading and waiting to see what comes next.
Next is scarcity. When there is less of something, or if it's only available for a limited time, people will want it even more. This is why limited-time sales windows work so well for launches. If your course is always available, there's no scarcity, or no motivation for people to make a purchase right now, rather than later. But if you tell people their opportunity is going away in just a few days, they're much more likely to seize the moment.
Third is event-based. When there's a big event going on, like a course launch, people feel like they're part of something larger than themselves. You're uniting people around a shared experience, like your course release date, and that gives your audience a sense of connectedness that keeps people feeling involved and engaged.
Next is "reason why." One of the most powerful words you can use is the word "because." People are logical beings, and if you give us a reason why we need to make a purchase, we're much more likely to act than if you just tell us to do something with no cause.
And lastly, storytelling, the biggest psychological trigger of all. People use stories to pass down knowledge through generations, and we don't need to look further than the box office to see how much humans love to hear stories. Although TV shows and movies often focus on fictional stories, storytelling exists in our everyday lives, from the imaginative stories our kids make up to the stories we recount from our day over dinner. Storytelling is the backbone of human communication, and running a course launch will give you the opportunity to share your story with your audience.
Set your price + revenue goals
Before we get started, let me tell you this: Most online course creators don't charge enough for their online product. $100 is the minimum you should charge for your course, and even then sometimes $100 isn't enough.
As a quick guide for how much you should be charging:
Mini courses – FREE (or up to $50)
Regular courses – $100–500
Flagship courses and programs – $500+.
Using premium pricing can be intimidating, I get it. But it's so important. It'll help you maintain your sanity and meet your revenue goals with greater ease. Let's discuss why that is:
Perceived value: Your customers are going to believe that a higher priced course will provide more value. Think about it. If someone was giving away free bicycles and offered you a $30 bicycle or a $300 bicycle, which would you choose? Probably the more expensive one because you perceive it to have higher value.
Weed out students: Cheaper courses will attract students who aren't really in your target audience, which means they might not experience your intended outcome. These are the students who will be dissatisfied and may even request a refund. It's better to avoid them from the get go.
Reach your goals: Think about it. If you are trying to make $1,000 with your online course it'll be easier to convince 5 people to give you $200 than it will be to convince 20 people to give you $50. The lower you price your course, the larger your audience will need to be to hit your goals.
Which brings me to the goal setting phase of this conversation. How much money are you hoping to make with your online course?
There is no wrong answer here, dig deep and figure out what number would make you jump for the stars happy.
Now lets reverse engineer that to see how you should price your course.
How many people will you need to sell your course to at $100 to meet that goal? At $250?
Let's say you still wanted to make $1000 as your revenue target, and you're offering a $200 course. Now you only need 5 students to buy your course, which means you only need around 250 engaged people on your email list to hit that goal.
Seems doable, right?
Create a sales page
Creating your sales page is an exciting aspect of the course creation journey. This is your final tool in convincing people to purchase.
Use your sales page as an opportunity to educate your audience and share why your course is the best possible solution to their problems
Writing sales copy
There's a well established principle in the world of sales copywriting called the 40/40/20 rule.
This rule says that there are three key factors that contribute to someone's decision to buy your product.
The first is your offer, which includes your course and maybe a special bonus offering or discount. The offer accounts for 40% of their reasoning.
The second factor is whether or not they are your target audience, so 40% of someone's decision to buy your course will depend on if you've attracted the right audience.
The third and final factor is your creative, which includes the sales page, your emails, the design, and everything else. This creative, or your marketing efforts, only account for 20% of someone's decision to buy your course.
Despite creative only accounting for 20% of your audience's decision to purchase, it's not something you want to get wrong.
Define your audience: Your course will never be for every single person in the world, so you shouldn't advertise it as being "perfect for everyone" because it's not. Instead get specific. We defined our audience early on in this post, use that exercise here.
Tell a story: Storytelling is so powerful, and there are three kinds of stories you can use.
The personal: you'll share something about yourself. Maybe it's the story of how you picked up this skill, or the story of how your own difficult journey with something led you to teach this course.
The historical: You'd research to find a story relevant to your teachings. Perhaps here's where you'd let your potential customers know about the average income an etsy seller makes.
The expert: This is fitting when you've had a problem yourself and gone to an expert, and now you're sharing what you've learned.
Overcome objections: Your course is an investment, and your audience will naturally try to talk themselves out of making this purchase.
For example, some common objections include, "This course is too expensive." "I could learn how to do this on my own." or "How do I know I can trust you?" Concerns might get more specific for your topic, so it might include things like, "What if I have no tech experience?" or "Does this work on a mac or a PC?" If you openly address these objections, your audience will feel more comfortable trusting you.
Benefit driven language: People don't want to buy a course, they want to buy a transformation. You're selling the benefits of your course, not "20 hours of lessons." Let people know what new and improved version of themselves they'll be after they take your course.
Sales page building blocks
Great sales pages are typically made up of a few standard building blocks. These are the essential pieces to your sales page puzzle that will make purchasing a no-brainer for your audience.
A headline
This is your opportunity to be clear and concise about what your course is about. You also have a subheading just underneath the headline, and this is a great opportunity for you to share what the big transformation is for your course.
A course description
The biggest mistake people make in their course description is jumping right into logistics, or into telling your audience about the course features. Remember, benefit driven language is your friend here. You're really presenting the solution to their problems with this section, not talking about the nitty gritty technicalities of your course.
Social proof
Here is where you'll use case studies or testimonials to reassure your audience that other people love and trust you.
Think about any purchase you make online, you probably check the reviews to ensure you're not getting ripped off or wasting your money. That's what testimonials do for online courses. They show that other people have trusted you and have benefited from it.
Pro tip: If you don't have any testimonials yet, offer your course for free to a small group of people in exchange for an honest testimonial.
About the instructor
Include relevant information about yourself here – why are you suited to be teaching what you're teaching? What experiences have you had or trainings have you taken that have qualified you to be an incredible teacher?
CTA buttons
CTA's are also known as "Calls to Action" and they act as the push to tell your audience, "Hey! Buy this cool course!"
CTA's can be as simple as saying, "Buy now" or you can make the message more convincing by getting specific. "Earn more on Etsy today" might be more enticing to our audience of moms we mentioned earlier.
Course curriculum
Teachable automatically builds this for you, and it helps your potential students get an idea of what you have to offer inside of your online course. Whenever I'm considering taking a course, I go straight to the curriculum to see the specifics of what is going to be covered.
You can also choose to turn on one or more lessons to Preview Mode. This will allow prospective customers to be able to view these lessons without enrolling. This can be a great way to give prospects a taste of what your course is like.
Your FAQ
Your FAQ is so important and one of your biggest time saving tools. Any relevant questions you don't include in your FAQ will probably be emailed to you dozens of times by prospective students.
The FAQ section gives you the opportunity to get inside your customers' heads and think about why they'd choose not to buy your course. So address their worries early on and make their decision easier.
Sales page design
Beautiful sales pages are so important to brand your business and make your school look as professional as possible. Luckily, Teachable makes creating a beautiful sales page easy within our sales page editor, but there are a few essential tips to keep in mind.
We recommend using black or dark gray text for your main body copy on the page
There is one place you should definitely color, and that's for your CTA buttons
Avoid using cheesy stock photos whenever possible
You're also going to want to make your sales page easy to read and digest. Don't give your audience a wall of text, instead break it up so that it's not overwhelming.
Here are some great ways to make your sales page more munchable:
Use very clear headers to signpost each section
Vary your text size, and break things up by using larger fonts for headers, by using bullet points to break down concepts, and by using bolding to emphasize key points
Include negative space to make your page easier to read and more inviting. Negative space is the white or background colored space between text and images
Add images to break up your text. Images will make your sales page seem less intimidating, and they draw the reader's eye.
Optimize your checkout sequence
This might sound intimidating, but don't stress. Your checkout page flow is already built into Teachable's design, but there are a few elements you can customize with your course information to strengthen the checkout.
Teachable checkout pages reinforce your transformation by including testimonials and course bullet points. These are already elements you've collected, so it's as easy as pasting them into your checkout page.
You may also want to consider including a purchase guarantee, sometimes called a trust seal. This guarantee significantly derisks your customer's decision. If they hate your course, they can get a full refund within 30 days, it's as easy as that.
30 Day launch roadmap
Things are finally heating up! It's time to begin launching your course and getting a return on all of that hard work you've put in leading to this moment.
We recommend launching to your email list, after all they're your most engaged audience and they convert at the highest rate.
Your email launch will have three elements: Engagement, Presales, and Sales.
The goal of the engagement phase is simple: you want people to start reading your emails, getting excited about your topic, and building trust and authority. In the engagement phase, the CTA, or call to action, is simply reading your emails, and maybe clicking through to your blog posts or responding to your survey. Your engagement phase will last for a few weeks, depending on how engaged your audience was before today.
Your presale phase will come in a one-two punch.
Day 1 is the course teaser. This is when you tell your subscribers that you'll have an exciting announcement coming out soon, and that you'll be opening an online course. You can share a little bit about what the course covers, but tell them that you'll mention the full details later. This is where you start building anticipation, which will keep readers engaged and coming back for more.
Day 2 covers the course details. In this email, you answer, "What's in the course?" and you explain in detail what your milestones and lessons are for the entire course. You aren't giving away the content, but you are outlining the details of what you'll be covering, as well as the overall outcome or transformation students will feel by the end of the course. You'll end by telling them that the course is going to become available tomorrow, but you won't share the sales page yet.
On Day 3, you'll announce that your course is open. This email is your big moment, when you finally get to share that your course is available. You'll link to your sales page, and you might consider including a few testimonials in your email. You'll also need to ake it clear that this is a limited-time offer.
Day 4 is your FAQ email. Using an FAQ email is the perfect opportunity for you to appeal to your subscribers' logical side and squash any concerns they might have about your course.
Tell them about your 30-day guarantee, and reassure them that they'll have lifetime access.
Share what the course includes, and see if you can anticipate their burning questions. You'll provide the questions and answers right in the body of your email. Again, the CTA for this email will be to click on your sales page link, and you'll want to reiterate that this offer ends on X date at Y time.
Day 5 is the surprise bonus email. This is a fun opportunity for you to tell you subscribers that you're giving them a new surprise that you haven't mentioned on the sales page if they buy now. This should either be bonus content or an even steeper discount. In either case, it should be something truly valuable to your customers, and you'll again remind them that this incredible offer goes away on X date.
Day 6 is the thank-you & social proof email. At this point, you want to thank everyone for reading your emails and being part of your launch. Hopefully by now you may have gotten excited emails or social media posts from new customers, so you can include some anonymized screenshots where new customers are raving about your content. This social proof will be exactly what a few people need to convince them to act now and enroll in your course.
By now you're nearing the end of your launch, so Day 7 – the day before your launch ends – is the logical argument. You'll tell everyone that your course will be closing, and you'll build a logical argument convincing them why they need to buy right now. Remind them about your bonus, and remind them how soon the sales window closes.
Then finally you'll arrive at Day 8, the final day in your launch. On this last day, you'll be sending not one but two emails. Is this a little aggressive? Yes. But it's proven and effective. Trust us on this one! It's worked for our most successful instructors here at Teachable.
The morning email goes out at 11 AM. You'll announce that today is the absolute last day to get the course, and that sales end at midnight. Then the afternoon email should go out around 3 or 4 PM, and this is their last chance email, when you'll reiterate that sales close at midnight, and that they won't want to miss out on this opportunity.
You did it! (But you're not out of the water yet…)
Congratulations! You've hosted your first launch and I've got a feeling that you killed it. But even after launching there are a few steps you're going to want to take to keep the momentum and end your launch on the right foot.
Analyze your launch
After all of the chaos surrounding your first launch, you might never want to have to think about launching again. But I recommend you reconsider.
You should be collecting data, or information, about how things are going along the way so you can know what to expect for next time.
First, track how much money you brought in per day. You'll be able to easily access this data in Teachable. Next, if you're a little more comfortable with data, track your email analytics. Email analytics are useful because they can show you where people are engaged – or not engaged – with your launch experience.
Knowing which emails performed the best can help you when you're refining your launch sequence for round two.

Learn the introverts answer to public speaking and group presence. When you stand in front of a group to open a training, a meeting, or a talk, where typically is your anxiety on this continuum? Terror — Fear — Anxiety — Coping — Ease — Flow — Mastery. Anything less than Ease (which cannot be faked) translates instantly into anxiety for the group. If you aren't able to take a full, natural, unself-conscious breath before saying a word, the group will constrict their breathing and their listening. Bad start, yes?
Join us for this one-hour interview with Lee Glickstein, author, speaker, trainer, and founder of SpeakingCircles.com, where you will discover what it takes to facilitate from full engagement and receptivity in every moment. This surprising secret to masterful group leadership is not grounded in technique or dynamism; rather it is about developing your innate capacity to facilitate listening and learning by being transparent. We call the key "Relational Presence," and by the end of this session you will know its power and understand how to cultivate it in your own style. You will discover exactly what it takes to:
- Dissolve performance anxiety by taking all attention off yourself.
- Entrain a group through natural silence and breath.
- Compel rapt attention and connection without performing by relating exactly as you do one-on-one at your best.
- Honor their listening as the most powerful force in the room.
- Access your creative resources in any moment by tapping into their listening.
- Maximize your impact as a leader by opening with a story that brings the group together
Rather Than 'Blasting Through Performance Pressure,' Breath and Let Your Excitement Work for You. Tips moving through your weaknesses when presenting yourself and using your natural presence to connect with your group.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Investigators found more than 800 rounds of ammunition, a machete and two hatchets in the car of the former soldier accused of scaling the White House fence and sprinting inside the building while carrying a knife, a federal prosecutor said Monday. President Barack Obama said he was ''obviously concerned'' about the weekend incident.
The Secret Service increased security around the famous grounds on Pennsylvania Avenue in the nation's capital, some guards openly holding weapons, others escorting dogs. There was talk of expanding White House security beyond the current area as a major investigation began into the question of how the man managed to get to the building without being stopped.
RELATED: Obama 'obviously concerned' about intruder, spokesman says
Forty-two-year-old Omar J. Gonzalez of Copperas Cove, Texas, faces charges of entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon. He had been arrested earlier in the summer in Virginia with a carful of weapons, authorities said, and a federal prosecutor said Monday in court that Gonzalez had had a map with the White House circled.
Obama and his family had left the White House for Camp David when the incident occurred Friday evening. Gonzalez was seized just inside the building's front door. No guns were found in his car.
In court, Gonzalez, with a gray beard, a shaved head and dressed in a standard prison orange jumpsuit, listened impassively as the prosecutor spoke. He could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted of illegally entering a restricted area with a dangerous weapon.
The Army said he served from 1997 until his discharge in 2003, and again from 2005 to December 2012, when he retired due to disability.
Obama, asked about the incident at the White House, said, ''The Secret Service does a great job, and I'm grateful for the sacrifices that they make on my behalf -- and my family's behalf.''
But spokesman Josh Earnest said the president was ''obviously concerned'' about what had happened.
At the federal court hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney David Mudd said Gonzalez already was under indictment in southwestern Virginia, accused of having a sawed-off shotgun and trying to elude police this summer.
Wythe County Deputy Commonwealth Attorney David Saliba said by telephone that Gonzales also had two powerful rifles, four handguns and other guns and ammunition in his Ford Bronco when troopers stopped him on July 19. The weapons and ammunition were seized, but Gonzalez was released on bail.
Earnest said the Secret Service investigation will include a review of protective efforts both inside the White House grounds and outside the fence line along Pennsylvania Avenue, including staffing and threat assessment policies and procedures.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee announced it would hold a hearing next week.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said he would ultimately review the findings of the investigation ordered by Secret Service Director Julia Pierson. Johnson said the public should not rush to judgment about the security breach and urged against second-guessing security officers whom he said ''had only seconds to act.''
The Secret Service didn't open fire on Gonzalez or send attack dogs after him.
Officers who spotted Gonzalez scale the fence quickly assessed that he didn't have any weapons in his hands and wasn't wearing clothing that could conceal substantial quantities of explosives, a primary reason agents did not fire their weapons, according to a U.S. official briefed on the investigation.
Another consideration was whether bystanders behind the fence could have been injured by errant gunfire, said the official, who was not authorized to discuss the investigation by name and spoke only on condition of anonymity.
The Secret Service has long tried to balance public access to the ''People's House'' and security of the presidential residence.
OPINION: Don't cordon off the White House
The two-block stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House's north gates has been closed to vehicle traffic since May 1995, when President Bill Clinton ordered the immediate closure of the road in an effort to prevent a potential car- or truck-bomb attack.
On any given day, numerous uniformed officers can be seen patrolling parts of the sprawling lawns on either side of the White House, and others are stationed along the fence line on Pennsylvania Avenue. Many more were in view on Monday.
But the pedestrian-only zone hasn't entirely prevented security breaches along the fence.
Last September a man was arrested and accused of throwing firecrackers over the fence on the north lawn, near the area where Gonzalez is accused of climbing over the barrier. The Secret Service at the time said the man with firecrackers did not pose a threat.
A few weeks later a Connecticut woman set off a police chase through downtown Washington after ramming a security checkpoint near the White House. Miriam Carey, 34, was shot and killed by police near the Capitol.
In May, a man was arrested after he followed a motorcade carrying President Obama's daughters through the gates into the secure area near the White House. He had a pass for the Treasury Department, which is next door and also inside the pedestrian-only security zone. A charge of unlawful entry was later dismissed.
On a lighter note, in August a toddler managed to slip through the slats in the metal fence. The Secret Service joked that they would wait until the boy learned to talk before questioning him.
Less than 24 hours after Gonzalez's arrest, a second man was taken into custody after he drove up to a White House gate and refused to leave, Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said. Bomb technicians in full gear searched the vehicle as agents briefly shut down nearby streets.
On Sunday, Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary identified the man as Kevin Carr, 19, of Shamong, New Jersey.
There was no indication the two incidents were connected. But they only intensified the scrutiny of the Secret Service, which is struggling to rehabilitate its image following a series of allegations of misconduct by agents in recent years, including agents on Obama's protective detail.

Beauty begins from within.
Its so cliche…but so true. We can look gorgeous on the outside, but the true beauty comes from what is happening on the inside. What makes up this inner beauty? There may be many different answers and different opinions on this but ultimately I think we all have to discover and work on our own inner beauty.
I believe the fundamentals should be a gentle spirit, compassion, be slow to speak, quick to listen, kindness, joy, love, generosity and confidence. Your words should not cut through the delicate layers of another individual.
Remember the film Shallow Hal? If we don't have the inner beautiful going on, we might as well forget the external physical beautiful. Sometimes the most beautiful thing about a person is when they don't even realise how beautiful they are physically.
I love trying out new beauty products, makeup, developing my style etc, but my inner beauty is just as important, if not more so. I think we can all work on a few of these things, myself included. At the end of the day we are all a work in progress.
Lets learn and grow…

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson issued an apology yesterday for the city's "very insensitive" claim that Tamir Rice was responsible for getting killed by a Cleveland PD officer, reported Salon. However, the damage has been done.
In an attempt to protect all of our defenses, we used words and we phrased things in such a way that was very insensitive. Very insensitive to the tragedy in general, the family, and the victim in particular. It is not part of the character of the city of Cleveland and this administration. So we are apologizing today as a city to the family of Tamir Rice and to the citizens of the city of Cleveland for our poor use of words and our insensitivity in the use of those words.
Jackson's apology is related to a 41-page report released on Friday that responded to a lawsuit filed by Rice's family against the city. According to the city's report, the "Plaintiffs' decedent's injuries, losses, and damages complained of, were directly and proximately caused by the failure of Plaintiffs' decedent to exercise due care to avoid injury."
The city also argued in the report that Tamir Rice was responsible for his family's pain and suffering endured after the shooting. The report ventured way beyond the realm of "insensitive" and was outright despicable.
Tamir Rice was murdered in a Cleveland park by Ofr. Tim Loehmann, a trigger-happy cop. Jackson said the city will file an "amended" response to the Rice family's lawsuit. But, is it too little, too late?
The Rice family has had to endure the loss of Tamir, the anguish it caused, and now the audacity of the city of Cleveland. The city allowed a dangerous man in Loehmann onto the police force, and he murdered a small boy. Cleveland needs to own up to the tragedy and give the Rice family what they are owed.
