MBA915 Q&A Wednesday: I have a course idea. How do I find a way to make it more interesting?

It’s Q&A Wednesday, and class is in session! Not just our class, but yours! This week, one $100 MBA member wants to know how best to improve his online course. Specifically, how can a course be made more interesting? Fortunately, our host Omar knows a thing or two about that, being an educator with years of teaching experience in and out of the classroom.

Today, we discuss how to create and deliver a course that your audience won’t just learn from, but love. We’ll show you how to design lessons that are as engaging as they are valuable — the kind of lessons that eliminate boredom, increase interaction and motivation, and empower customers.

MBA914 Does Giving Out Free Swag Work?

Startups and swag go together like peanut butter and chocolate. But do all the T-shirts, water bottles, stickers, and USB drives work? Does the money spent on giveaways come back in the form of conversions? The coolest swag in the world doesn’t help your business if it doesn’t come with a meaningful ROI.

We recently did a swag-speriment to measure the marketing impact of our free goodies. We dropped a full-on swag bomb at a major conference, giving away thousands of dollars worth of items featuring our webinar company, WebinarNinja’s, brand. The results shed some light on the true value of swag, and how best to maximize its impact.

Hear all the details, and see how you can swag your way to more customers. Click Play!

MBA913 Guest Teacher: Brian Dean- How to Optimize Your YouTube Videos for Higher Rankings (and More Views)

YouTube has been called “the world’s 2nd biggest search engine” behind Google. While so many entrepreneurs are striving to climb the Google rankings, are we leaving potential customers on the table by ignoring YouTube? Our first guest teacher of 2018 seems to think so, and he’s put the time in to discover exactly how to dominate it. Now, he’s here to tell us how it’s done.

Brian Dean is an SEO genius, whose years of experimentation and fine-tuning have made his website, backlinko.com, one of the most trusted resources for content marketers. In fact, he’s so great at SEO that we actually found him through (you guessed it) a Google search!

In the last year, he’s turned his attention to YouTube, which – like Google – is key to building your audience. But YouTube’s ranking algorithms are very different from Google’s. Today, Dean shares 7 strategies to optimizing your YouTube videos, including some surprising discoveries that will completely change how you approach the video-sharing site as a content marketing tool.

Brian Dean is the first of many fantastic guest teachers we have lined up for this year. Don’t miss out on what YouTube can do for your online presence. Click Play!
