STOP ME IF ANY OF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU...
🛑 You have knowledge and skills in instructional design, but don't know where to start and how to turn that into an actionable plan...
🛑 You've spent countless hours trying to build your instructional design portfolio, and you're sick of the frustration of figuring out what clients are looking for...
🛑 You build your ID portfolio, but it's not going as well as you'd like, and you're out of ideas on how to attract (and retain) clients...
🛑 You’re struggling with how to find ID work that aligns with what you want to do, and you’re not enjoying your instructional design career
If it does, then you already know how impossible it can be trying to get quality advice & support.
THAT'S WHAT INSPIRED ME TO BUILD THIS PLACE...
I was completely over hearing stories about good people with excellent instructional design skills, just like you, being left stuck and let down in their pursuit of success in their careers and businesses, thanks to:
👎 Certificate and degree programs that promise the world but deliver very little once they have their hands on your cash...
👎 Overly technical tutorials that bore you to death with the mind-numbing instructional design theory, and don't say a thing about strategies for finding clients or building your business website...
👎 Over-priced courses that make big claims about helping you succeed in instructional design... but don't actually help you build long-term success...
Thankfully, all of that is behind you...

NOT SURE IF ELEARNING & ID FOR BEGINNERS IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
The eLearning & Instructional Design for Beginners Community is NOT for everyone, and truth be told we’d prefer to help you figure out if it’s not right for you BEFORE you join rather than waste your time. So, let’s cut to the chase...
WHO THE COMMUNITY IS FOR
WHO THE COMMUNITY IS NOT FOR
It might seem strange, me trying to talk you OUT of becoming a member - but truly if the Community is not the right fit then neither of us benefits. I have a vested interest in your success (you won’t stick around long if I'm not helping, right?) - and that all starts by making sure the Community is right for you before you join.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY
Well of course I think the Community is awesome - it would be concerning if I didn’t! But don’t just take my word for it, check out these screenshots of nice things people are saying...
If there's anything at all that you're unsure about, anything I haven't made clear, any concerns or questions, then please contact us at [email protected] and we'll help you out.
