Success! – first online payment for my online qigong course

Posted on by

I’m excited.  The first payment has come through for my online qigong course.  I had hoped people who use the course would start making some payments soon, but had thought I might possibly need to wait til they completed the course (12 weeks) before they started paying.

So this is great.  Evidence that at least some people viewing the course recognize the value in it and are willing to make a voluntary contribution in return for it.  I hope this is the first of many to come.

If you haven’t seen the course, you can check it out in the link below if you are interested.

Small update on the GFRF online qigong course

Posted on by

So I’ve enabled advertising on a select few of the videos for the online qigong course that I have created.  I wanted to keep it advertising free so as to compare returns of putting the courses up in different ways and also just so people wouldn’t have to deal with the ads, but I noticed something from my other youtube channels.  In preparation for putting these courses online I enabled advertising on my old channels with videos I put up awhile ago.  What was interesting was that after enabling advertising my video views went up significantly.  I later found out that youtube actively promotes your videos with enabled advertising, which makes sense as they make more money that way.

While I wanted to keep the course advertising free I also want people to see the course and benefit from it.  So I’ve enabled the ads on just a few key videos that it should not really impact on the learning as they aren’t really the types of videos that a learner would watch over and over.  I think this is a good practical compromise that will lead to more people finding the course and being able to still use most of the videos advertising free.

My First GFRF Online Course is now live!

It is a 12 week online qigong course.  It has been a huge amount of work putting it together.  About six weeks of loooong days to get it ready using every spare moment to work on it, and that doesn’t include the years of work preparing the material in the course in the first place.

Part of me is nervous about putting so much work into something that potentially I will not be paid a cent for, because hey, I have to be realistic – I need to eat and have somewhere to live just like everyone else, and if my time and effort is going into something like this that means its not going into something else that might help to pay my bills.

But I’m excited to have it up and at this point don’t really care if people pay me anything for it or not.  I just want people to find out about it, use it and benefit from it.

This video gives an introduction:
