I share my reasons for leaving Podia, and other Podia alternatives I’ve tried to sell digital products and online courses.
Quitting Facebook and Instagram wasn’t about giving up; it was about prioritizing my mental health, reclaiming my time, and making intentional choices for my business and personal life. Here’s why letting go of these platforms felt empowering and necessary
I had a feeling that Linkedin wasn't a good use of my time. This was confirmed when I started tracking how many clicks I was getting from Linkedin to my actual website. Seeing I only had one visitor in 30 days was enough to let me know this was a time waster. My goal is to make money, not be a Linkedin celebrity. So I quit Linkedin once and for all.
I quit using Instagram and Facebook to market my business one year ago, and I’m happy to say it was worth it!
If you're struggling with teacher burnout, I want to tell you you’re not alone. And now with the creator economy, there are so many more opportunities for you to thrive than there were when I quit a decade ago. If you’re thinking of creating a YouTube channel, I’ve got a resource for you to help you get started.
Last January, I bought the Toddlers Can Read* course to help my son learn to read before kindergarten. My initial goal was simple: I wanted him to be able to read basic text, like the first book in the Toddlers Can Read course titled Tap, which contains a lot of three-letter words. My hope was for him to gain introductory reading skills, where he could go through a book and read words like "pat" and "rat." I wanted him to know letter sounds and read simple words.
I read a book by Dave Ramsey several years ago, & although I don’t agree with most of his viewpoints, there was something that did resonate. Live like no one else, so later you can live like no one else. Now in the context of his book, he was referring to paying off debt & being intentional with your money. I’m going to apply the same concept here to making money from home.
