Hey All,
My name is Chris and I'm a Firefighter Paramedic in Southern California.
For the past 4 months I've been making a Teachable online course called "How To Be Chosen to Be a Firefighter: Real Talk, Truth Bombs, and a Secret Game Plan to Get You Hired at Your Dream Department". Becoming a firefighter is esoteric, competitive, and difficult so I wanted people to learn from my mistakes and get hired faster. Official release was 7/29 and after a 2 week pre-release there are ZERO SALES.
Here's what I spent:
Here are the new skills I learned:
I'd appreciate some advice on marketing this thing (I have the Teachable subscription paid for a year) so want to continue to market it. Right now I was using Facebook ads to capture leads (i.e. email address) then putting those though an email sequence marketing funnel. That's all I got.
Any encouragement or advice would be appreciated. It's July 30th as I write this and I told myself I'd get at least one sale this month.
Thanks y'all,
Chris in Pasadena, CA

Here's what I spent:
- Teachable platform $948
- Loom $10
- Yeti Mic $110
- Facebook Ads (which got me about 100 leads) $250
- Adobe $10
- MailCheat(Chimp) $10
Here are the new skills I learned:
- Recording myself (getting comfortable on camera) and video editing on iMovie
- How to make Facebook ads (maybe not well, but now I know the process)
- MailCheat(Chimp) audiences and email funnel marketing
- Teachable's platform
- Kind of a deeper appreciation for my journey to become a firefighter which was an odd byproduct.
