[34]

[36]
as a few bonus ones and anything else I
[39]
forgot less jump into the video so I'm
[43]
super excited to be partnering with
[44]
Skillshare for this video because it's
[46]
honestly one of my favorite sites on the
[48]
internet because it's a learning
[50]
community and if you've been around
[51]
think media for very long you know that
[54]
a devotion to personal development is
[56]
something I'm super passionate about I
[58]
really believe that lifelong leaders are
[60]
lifelong learners but if you've never
[63]
heard of Skillshare here's a quick
[64]
overview about what it actually is it's
[67]
an online learning community with over
[69]
15,000 courses to choose from with new
[71]
courses being added all the time and
[74]
anybody can take a class do a project
[77]
and even teach a class which i think is
[79]
an awesome opportunity for you in the
[81]
think media community to think about
[82]
monetizing your knowledge your skills
[85]
and your expertise and the user
[88]
interface is super cool you're able to
[90]
of course play videos they have a great
[92]
mobile app that you can access any of
[94]
the courses on the go and there's also
[97]
the community aspect so you can gauge in
[98]
the comments and actually really be a
[100]
part of a group of creative
[103]
professionals who are ambitious and
[105]
passionate about leveling up their
[108]
skills all the time and the reason I'm
[111]
so passionate about this is I really
[113]
believe that to stay relevant in the
[115]
modern age you have to always be
[117]
leveling up your skills you know skill
[120]
development is so important for you and
[123]
for me so that we can stay current with
[125]
new platforms new trends new
[127]
technologies as well as traditional
[129]
skills like leadership communication you
[132]
know marketing
[133]
and those types of things and so one of
[135]
the things that I think that we should
[137]
all develop is a PvP a personal
[139]
development plan and what I love about
[142]
Skillshare is it allows you to pick from
[144]
courses and to actually go through
[145]
quality content and level up skills that
[149]
you want to develop so I want to ask you
[150]
a question you can even post in the
[151]
comments what is one of the skills that
[154]
you want to work on the most that would
[156]
move the needle the most for your brand
[158]
may be your business your YouTube
[159]
channel what skill that if you worked on
[162]
and leveled up what actually accelerates
[165]
you further faster figure out what that
[167]
is
[168]
and start working on it but with that I
[170]
want to jump into five of my top
[173]
favorite topics and Skillshare courses
[175]
for entrepreneurs number one is business
[178]
building and modern marketing you know
[181]
we're living in such exciting times with
[183]
the internet with the communications
[185]
revolution that's happening and there's
[187]
really never been a better time to
[189]
launch a business you know I've heard
[190]
Gary Vaynerchuk say that we're living in
[192]
the greatest era of entrepreneurship
[195]
ever and I really believe that and with
[198]
that I think it's important that we're
[199]
leveling up our business skills and our
[201]
marketing skills and my favorite skill
[203]
share course on this comes from one of
[205]
my favorite authors of all time Seth
[207]
Godin so when I discovered this course I
[209]
was super pumped it's called the modern
[212]
marketing workshop and it really covers
[214]
the essential mindset and philosophy of
[217]
how marketing has changed even in just
[219]
the last few years in the last decade
[221]
and I think it's critical information
[223]
for you and for me and there's another
[226]
course from Seth Godin called the new
[228]
business toolbox that's all about
[230]
helping you launch a business and doing
[231]
it right the first time and so both of
[234]
these courses are pretty incredible
[236]
helping you develop the right mindset as
[238]
well as the tools and philosophies
[240]
needed for crushing it in business today
[242]
and modern marketing number two is
[245]
social media mastery tactics you know
[248]
social media is such an awesome way to
[250]
grow your business and get the word out
[253]
about what you're doing as an
[254]
entrepreneur but there's so many nuances
[256]
and things to learn about each platform
[259]
and so it's cool on Skillshare is
[260]
there's courses about Facebook Ads of
[263]
course it's about Pinterest marketing
[264]
one recommendation is tight
[266]
in Wheatley's class that's all about
[268]
mobile photography tips for instagrams
[271]
success and growth and I think that this
[274]
is great for entrepreneurs of all levels
[276]
to be thinking about how to story tell
[279]
the message of their business of what
[282]
you're doing online and get the word out
[284]
but I think it's important that we all
[286]
learn the best practices just like shot
[288]
composition of taking good photos better
[290]
photos with your phone as well as the
[292]
nuances of social media platforms for
[294]
how to get likes how to get reached how
[296]
to get more engagement how to actually
[298]
grow on the platform by learning the
[301]
details that the average person doesn't
[302]
know and so when you take even just a
[305]
quick course on some of these platforms
[307]
it gives you the accelerated path to
[311]
mastery of those platforms so you can
[313]
grow your business faster than ever
[315]
number three is email marketing and
[317]
copywriting and I really believe that
[319]
online entrepreneurs need to master
[322]
these two skills or hire someone on
[324]
their team that knows these two skills
[326]
because they're super critical for the
[329]
modern age of reaching people and
[331]
growing your business
[333]
now when I say copywriting what I'm
[334]
actually talking about is writing
[335]
marketing copy which is also known kind
[338]
of as words that sell you know these are
[341]
the type of words that go on landing
[343]
pages that are actually written out in
[345]
emails that can persuade people and help
[347]
people understand products services and
[349]
offerings so they can make an ultimate
[351]
buying decision
[353]
good copywriting can make or break the
[355]
success of a lot of products online and
[357]
can even help when it comes to social
[359]
media and getting people to take action
[361]
one of the courses that I love is the
[363]
copywriting course from Allison Esposito
[366]
and she's written copy for Google for
[368]
Foursquare for other brands and it's
[371]
great to go through these courses to
[373]
kind of wrap your head around what are
[374]
the best practices of persuasive writing
[378]
in the modern age and again this isn't
[381]
just for writing emails or writing a
[382]
sales page for a product or writing a
[384]
landing page but I also think that
[386]
really learning how to write good copy
[388]
even as a video influencer is important
[391]
because it's things like a headline for
[394]
your video writing good titles writing
[397]
good blog posts writing tweets and
[399]
Facebook
[400]
actions or the first line of text that
[402]
creates interest that gets people
[404]
wanting to click on a video or go
[406]
through and click through the tweet to
[408]
go to your website copywriting is a huge
[411]
skill and something that even if
[413]
eventually you delegate it I think every
[415]
modern entrepreneur should have a little
[418]
bit of mastery of number four is digital
[421]
content production now this is kind of a
[423]
big idea and there's a lot of great
[425]
courses and skills to develop underneath
[428]
this but what I'm talking about is
[429]
things like video editing or design or
[433]
photography even if it's just mobile
[435]
photography because these are the tools
[437]
and the ways that modern entrepreneurs
[440]
are communicating the story of their
[441]
brand of what they're trying to build
[443]
and so levelling up these skills can
[446]
really accelerate your success fast on
[449]
Skillshare there's courses for Adobe
[451]
premier Caleb logic who we did a collab
[454]
a while back had the course on Final Cut
[457]
Pro so almost any video editing software
[459]
that you would want to learn and get
[461]
better at they have a course on it and
[463]
even more advanced training like Drew
[466]
jaray C's course on how to shoot time
[468]
lapses we actually interviewed him on
[470]
think media a while back he did the
[473]
opening for house of cards or there's
[475]
all those time lapses in Washington DC
[477]
he's got a whole training breaking down
[479]
how he shoots time lapses on Skillshare
[482]
one of my favorite designers Chuck
[484]
Anderson has a great course on creating
[487]
photo art with your smartphone super
[490]
cool and then there's tons of training
[492]
on things like Photoshop if you want to
[494]
level up your design for social media
[496]
images but also even just training on
[499]
like canva which is a great free online
[501]
design platform that also has a paid
[504]
aspect to it and so you can see that
[506]
almost any kind of design skill or
[509]
digital content production skill that
[511]
you want to level up you've got training
[513]
inside of Skillshare to do it number
[516]
five is communication now that word
[518]
itself is not really you know sexy for
[521]
digital entrepreneurs but it's actually
[523]
one of the most important skills that we
[524]
all need to master for success right
[527]
even as a youtuber or a content creator
[530]
we're talking about communication as an
[533]
entrepreneur if you need to
[534]
at your gate funding you need to be able
[536]
to communicate with people and so
[538]
mastering and always working on your
[540]
communication is one of the most
[541]
important skills that I like to focus on
[543]
continuously throughout my life and the
[546]
different seasons I go through as an
[548]
entrepreneur myself and so there's a
[550]
great course on Skillshare by simon
[552]
s茅n猫que the author of start with y on
[555]
presentation essentials how to share
[558]
ideas that inspire action and then
[562]
there's also some great courses on
[563]
leadership and another one called
[565]
Crucial Conversations that's actually a
[567]
book I'm going through right now that's
[569]
all about how to talk and communicate
[571]
when the stakes are high lots of cool
[574]
training to choose from
[576]
so those are just a few of the courses
[577]
that I would recommend for online
[578]
entrepreneurs and actually it's super
[580]
