Udemy for Learning or Teaching New Job Skills

Yesterday, I told you I had a couple of new work-from-home updates for you. I talked about a new AI platform to help with transcribing work in yesterday's post. Today, I'll talk about the second one, which is Udemy. I recently discovered Udemy - an online learning platform. I just started my fourth course out of 5 that I originally purchased and have recently bought 4 more courses! They also have over 10,000 free courses that you can try. I don't think the free courses have certificates. Some of the paid courses don't either, so be watchful of that. I'm actually looking for classes with certificates.

At first glance, these courses look expensive. But I have a secret I'm going to pass along to you. You will get some great complimentary pricing just for being a new student ($19.99 and less). And when those complimentary prices go away, put classes at regular price that you want to take in your wish list, and wait a few days until they're offered on sale again. There isn't any need to buy them at the inflated prices. They do eventually go on sale again - usually every couple of weeks or less. And you can buy several classes for the price you would have paid for 1 class.

I'm taking more courses that I can put in my Upwork portfolio as skills and, hopefully, will help me land more jobs. I would like to be able to work at least 15 hours each week instead of 90 hours a week every 3 months.

My son is trying to get me to also teach on Udemy - just another outlet to earn money. Perhaps you could do that as well. Or maybe that's your preference instead of working from Upwork or other work-from-home outlets.

So, whether learning a new skill for yourself or teaching one to others, Udemy might be the answer you're looking for.

Blessings,

Patricia

New Christian T-shirts Designed and Listed on Etsy

I just finished designing a couple of Christian T-shirts and listing them on Etsy. You can read more about these and keep up with new arrivals on my Digital Potpourri Blog. If you have a custom request, you can contact us via Etsy messages . We'll be happy to try to produce a t-shirt to your liking as long as there is nothing profane, vulgar, immoral, licensed, trademarked or involving hate related to the design. One of the tees reads Love Obey Trust with bible books, chapters, and verses that coincide with these words. The other states God Lives Here with "Here" inside a heart shaped from mini hearts. So, basically 2 messages. God Lives and He lives in our hearts. 😇 Thanks for dropping by to read my updates today, Patricia

Finally a Few Nice Days in a Row

I've been waiting and waiting for spring temps to arrive for more than a couple of days without rain. And this is the week! We finally have some color in the yard and on our deck. So, I want to share what my husband, son, and I have been up to for the last few days. First of all, we had our first cookout on Sunday, April 28 to celebrate our younger son's birthday. That officially kicks off spring. I mixed the first batch of hummingbird nectar a couple of weeks ago, hoping the males would take advantage while the females were tending to their nests. As far as we can tell, 1 male has visited twice. Of course, we can't look out the window all of the time. But we do look out frequently. And we hang them in 2 locations that we can see directly from the kitchen windows. The rose bushes started blooming about a week ago, and I finally had time to take pictures of them. I pulled out the grass and weeds that were growing around them a couple of hours after I took the front-facing ...

Bounty Paper Towels Product Review

Today, I want to let you in on a little secret . I recently bought a new four-pack of Bounty paper towels - full sheets. I am not a select-a-size fan at all, for the record. Anyway, the newer package didn't look as thick as the last several packages I had bought over the last several years. I happened to have an older package in storage (and I actually noticed not long ago that the rolls seemed to be smaller in more recent packages, as well, based on the way they fit more loosely in my paper towel holder; not too long ago, they were very snug in my holder until I had used four or five paper towels), so I compared the two when I brought the newer package home. Lo and behold, I was correct. So, I think the decrease in sheets actually started happening gradually over the last year or so. But this time, the reduction was very noticeable. And I hope Bounty won't decrease the size anymore. As you can see in the pictures below, the older package of paper towels shows 58 sheets per r...
