Last week I wrapped up planning, building, and launching an online video course that I created in 10 days as part of Gumroad’s Small Product Lab challenge. It was an amazing experience, a lot of fun, and some serious hard work.

This week, I’m working hard to wrap up the videos for the third and final module I’ll be updating the course with soon, but I just found out that I was one of five People’s Choice winners from this latest challenge. Super cool!

I’m really excited about both the quality and content I was able to create with my course, which walks you through the process of how to build, launch, and sell your own short online course, but I also had a ton of fun being apart of the challenge’s awesome Facebook group and online community! It was amazing to see so many diverse, creative projects and connect with a lot of great folks! I highly recommend participating in the Small Product Lab challenge. You can sign up now for the next one, which’ll be in a few months.
