Stuck scrolling? We can fix that.

We’ve all found ourselves deep in a TikTok rabbit hole wondering where the time went. As a creator, it’s so easy to get sucked in looking for new ideas, or watching other people’s morning routines.

But it can also sometimes leave you feeling a little guilty for “wasting time,” or like you can’t measure up to other creators. So what’s the solution? Sometimes it’s a social media detox. It might be scary to think about taking a break from social, but we’ve got some tips for how to do it in the best way for you.

Want a copyright notice drafted by a lawyer? We got you

Protecting your content and courses is a valid concern for a lot of creators. Nobody wants to go through the work of creating their exclusive content just to have it ripped off by someone else. So we teamed up with the creators at Blogging for New Bloggers and Legals for Business Owners to offer you a downloadable copyright notice template.

Damon Dominique is escaping the chaos of algorithm changes

Cashing in on courses is one thing, but staying authentic is another. A recent Vox article puts course creators under a microscope. But, in an industry where tips and schemes are a click (and credit card) away, we believe knowledge sharing leads to creative, engaging, and powerful content that can unlock transformational opportunities. And this is what helps our creators stand out in a sea of algorithms and buy-now buttons.

Take Damon Dominique, for example. Damon is the French teacher you wish you had in high school. The travel YouTuber turned to online courses during the Covid-19 pandemic and since then he’s helped more than 5,000 students learn French.

“For creators like Dominique, online courses are a welcome respite from the erratic and unpredictable nature of making content on internet platforms. ‘There’s a change in the algorithm every few months, and right now it’s all moving toward short-form video,’ he says.” Read more about Damon and Teachable in Vox.

April begins this weekend, which for the business minded, means Q2 starts this weekend too. Think about a theme or intention you want to set for the next three months. Is it intention? Presence? Growth? Hustle? Whatever it is, write it down and three short-term goals you have for the theme.
