Building my first online course

[Samer Bechara]

For the past few months, I've been working on building my own online course. I make enough money to live comfortably, and although I don't trade time for money (I get paid weekly by my clients) , I'm just so sick of having to be tied all day to my computer/phone, because I have to keep monitoring Slack and reply to my clients, team members... I am unable to take a few days off of technology unless I'm on vacation. Although I've come a long way, I don't feel that I'm fully my own boss yet.

My goal: Reach a place where I am making more money than ever, and can work whatever times I want, without having to worry about replying to clients.

How I will achieve it: By selling a course that helps entrepreneurs build and scale their technology faster and cheaper

What I've done so far: I've created the course and have a funnel in place. I've also started running ads

What I still have to do: Optimize ads, funnel...

Currently we are having a very low conversion on our opt-in page (less than 1%). I will be working with my marketing consultant in order to increase the conversions. I will be reporting here on my progress.
