Thanks. I was thinking skillshare (or similar.) , but an app sounds better. I've honestly no clue how to make an app though and I don't have the money to pay for one. I'll keep making content. Maybe one day I can combine it all into an app.

Yes that would be a good plan. I heard about skillshare I think you can start there too.

Good read. What inspired you to do this online course?

Money. Haha!

Really though thanks. I was depressed for a whiles, so I decided to beat it. I started with fixing what I could (cleaning the house, thinking more positive, reading, listening/watching education podcasts. Before long I started feeling better, since then I've continued to do all I can to improve my life. I started to share what helped me in 2018. I then started to write short advice comics and built up more of a following. I wrote a book. A course felt like a new challenge/way to make some cash on the side , so that's what I'm doing.

Are you working on any projects yourself?

Lol! Money is not a bad motivator! I mean we need it to pay the bills. That's good to know that it is helping you become productive and preoccupied.

I am currently studying for my driver's test and my certification. A little bit of side hustle online.
