4 weeks into the process of creating my first online course, and things are going well. Based on current progress I estimate another 2.5 weeks before it will be completed and ready to publish.
Course Cover and Lesson Preparation: Designed the initial course cover in Canva and began preparing lessons for Zapier and Make automations. Created detailed diagrams to explain the automation processes, ensuring clear and engaging content.
Mini-Project Lessons Completion: Completed the Zapier and Make "mini-project" lessons and the GPT for Sheets demo lesson. These mini-projects included comprehensive diagrams to simplify complex automation setups for learners.
Main Lesson Recording: Started recording the main lessons, including both camera and screencasts. Successfully recorded three lessons from section one, making significant progress in the core course content.
Systematic Backup Setup: Implemented a daily backup routine using GoodSync for all Camtasia project files and renders, ensuring the security of all course materials.
Key Productivity Lessons: Recorded lessons on Parkinson's Law and the Pareto Principle, delivering essential productivity concepts to learners. Also completed the Flow State lesson, focusing on techniques to achieve and maintain peak productivity.
Workflow Optimization: Tested and refined the lesson editing workflow in FlexClip and Camtasia. Decided to focus on Camtasia for its efficient recording and editing capabilities, streamlining the process to save time and improve the quality of the final videos.
