I’m on it now Ed excellent !
Hi Jane!
I use wordpress
boom – drop the mic !!
You are right Ed I’m using it it’s SOOOO GREAT AND easy –
That makes me so happy to hear!
Because we have the attention span of a two year old!
No I love it as any longer I switch off and lose interest
So much easier to dip in and out when you have time between other things
I love this! Thank you Ed
Tameka!! Hey!
Hi Micki! And hello All!
“Chances are you’ve already created a course, you just don’t call it a course.” Ed Troxell #EdTalkTV
Nope. The 5 minute rule makes it less daunting!
So many courses don’t get done too long and boring lol. 5 minutes is perfect
Yep Erica!!
MUCH less daunting, Micki! The idea of NOT having to film or record looong content is refreshing ….
🙌🏼 right?! That’s what I’m saying! So much easier and you have so much more to work with!
Don’t be extra!! Get to the point in your lessons! 😄
Don’t be extra!! Get to the point in your lessons!
Yes! Courses were not even CLOSE to being on my radar until Nicole Walters came into my life …..
That’s me. Too much info
Ed!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!!!
I want to tell them all the things
Yasss!! Erica girl! Until Nicole came along, no way I had time for an online course.
But its true can’t do that to people
Hi April! 👋🏽
Hi April!
Are online courses mostly made up of videos?
Such a great question! I am so glad you asked that! Did that make my answer make sense? It’s really hard to say one way or another because it really depends on your audience and the topic.
Ed Troxell Creative Yes, I do believe that video is the way to go because I think people are more disengaged with text and tend to lean in more when they can see and/or hear the person they are receiving from. I was just wondering what the status quo is mostly doing these days with online courses (more video or more text).
You can use video for delivery but you have to have activities, offer feedback and interaction in order for people to stay engaged and actually learn something.
Lindsay Kirsch 👏🏼👌
Yep. Mostly videos or audio I think April.
The yearly price is amazing !!!
🙌🏼 glad I’m not the only one who thinks so lol
glad I’m not the only one who thinks so lol
Ed, you provide such valuable information and in such a fun environment!!
Thank you April Roga that means a lot! 🙂
Micki Webb, Special Education Consultant Micki, I just sent you a private message 🙂
With my voiceover work, I really have NO excuse NOT to do audio once in a while … use what we have, right?
Yes! Take a look at my free website one and do something like that for your audience. You can totally have a free audio course that leads them to a paid offer.
Ed, when I started diving into the possibilities for my customer map, Stupid Easy was in the back of my mind, no joke. I will DEF use your platform when I’m ready to build my course. You don’t have to sell me, I trust you!
Hey, there’s a One-Liner for that … claim all unclaimed territory!!!
It took you two years, right?
Yep! And I’m so glad you brought this part up! Thank you!
Right! Erica! So it! 👊🏽
Right! Erica! So it!

YES! Showing up every day helps to bring visibility to Stupid Easy
Annaaaaa!! Hey girl hey! 👋🏽
Annaaaaa!! Hey girl hey!
Share to my business page and group .
The five minute rule is freeing!
How did you do that?
Me and my friend/business partner have TWO YEARS worth of recordings and documentation of all kinds. We are not at a loss for content LOL
Ha, see! There you go! 😉
Friggin awesome!!!
I am aiming for 5 mins breathing and yoga therapy!
Ooooh Rachel! Love that!!
The toilet is king!! Hence the throne!! haha
It’s super easy to use !
I’ve seen online lessons that are 3 minutes
Yup! 2-5 minutes is the sweet spot! 👌🏼
Yup! 2-5 minutes is the sweet spot!
I have old content… but its soo good!
There you go! 😉
That’s so true, we make content
Yes, it is.
Can you have multiple people contributing to your course and then have each person set up to divide revenue through StupidEasy?
AMAZING ED! We can easily build courses for $49/m?? That’s phenomenal …
Yup! And thank you! 😉
Hey Everyone!

Let’s just say it was not “Stupid Easy” lol

Other online course builders are more complicated
Awesome! Now that I have some focus (target audiance) I now see how u can use this for fitness
When you have people in your audience who have never done an online course and are only vaguely familiar with Udemy and Thinkific, in what ways would you say that your platform is more beneficial?
Such a great question April Roga! Thank you for asking that one. I hope this helped 🤓

April Roga I love that you’re doing your research.
I would suggest when you’re ready to sign up for the free accounts on the popular platforms so you can personally experience each — that’s the best way to just dive in.
Another note here, when it comes to sites like Udemy, Thinkific (sort of) and now Stupid Easy these are setup as marketplaces vs something like Teachable which is more like having your own website.
Then it comes down to how Easy is it for you to create a course and what fees does the platform charge you and when do you actually get paid — that’s basically what you’ll be looking at.
Ed Troxell Creative I would have liked you to go a bit deeper, but you were just sooooo excited to get out all that I know you needed to. I have only learned peripherally about online courses, but really want to find out more in terms of the value that each platform provides so I can make more informed decisions when the time comes to get started.

Hey Chrissie!
It’s STUPID EASY!
It’s super easy
Yours is practically “drag and drop,” I love it
Practically! And trust me, the vision is so much more but as an entrepreneur and a smart business owner, we have to first put it out there and see what happens 🙂
embrace the silence – take a course LOL
You can create your online course from your phone with StupidEasy.com
Now that’s dope!!!!! I do EVERYTHING from my phone
That’s where my videos and all are stored
How to price is good too
Oh awesome! Yeah, that was fun to write!
Ed Troxell Creative I am starting tomorrow .
Will watch the blog posts to get guidance. But I want to just do this as it is a start.
Jane Stewart 👏🏼 Music to my ears! I can’t wait!

Thank you Ed as always amazing information !
Thank you for showing up and delivering 😉
“Teachers” are your subscribers?
Happy Friday all!
bye guys I’m off to my land far away i.e. my bed see you soon xx
Night Vicki Smith! 🙂
Ok guys, I have to go but I tried to get to as many comments as I could. I’ll be back around later. Have a great night!
Narrowing down the info to more specific topic has been a big challenge for me!
Brain dump, organize, and go to the technology factor.
Attention spans are short!
Yes so much harder to work on your own
I’ll have to watch this replay! I barely caught the tail end Live. 😊
Sounds good! Thanks for checking in 🤓

How did you do that Ed?
I use iMovie to edit my videos down 🤓
Awesome! Thanks Ed!!
Sista Graves 😉
I’ve been away for awhile doing my homework, setting up business, but I was definitely inspired to get back on here because of how you explained things!
Because of how you just explained this I believe I can do this! Especially when you mentioned that they can be audio courses! YaY😀
You just made the process so much bearable and so stupidEasy Ed!
thankU😇
Sista Graves 🙌🏻👏🏼 this just made my night! You are so welcome and thank you!
When you skip watching #EdTalkTV live because you think the topic isn’t relevant to you, but then three days later you realize it is. 🤦🏽♀️

Yeah, we always seem to cover something worth noting right!? 😉
Ed Troxell Creative It’s true!
Bookmarked video to watch later.

Erin Michael Miller 👏🏼 you bet!
Ed Troxell Creative I would like to register a complaint, though: you consistently deliver five hours of valuable, engaging content every week, and I can’t keep up! 😫😜
Erin Michael Miller 😂
“You have reached the complaint department and we just wanted to let you know that we are aware of this issue.
