«THE COURSE BECAME MY MAGIC WAND IN A LITTLE CANADIAN CITY»
POINT A:
I worked for a company and really wanted to quit. My knowledge was very basic, but I saw an opportunity for myself to work in the foreign market, since I had just moved to Canada.
POINT B:
I realized that I want to create my own brand. I'm a photographer, and I've already moved twice since I took the course (now I live in my dream city - Vancouver, and I'm starting to develop my brand here from scratch). Now I even have a manager from the course myself!
Thanks to the blog, I was able to reach an income of 4,000 dollars a month in a small town in Canada, and now my average monthly income after moving to Vancouver is 2,000 Canadian dollars.
MY PATH:
FOR FUTURE STUDENTS:
If I hadn't taken the course then, I would have had less motivation, less understanding of how Instagram works. I would not even have thought of hiring a manager.
The course became my support and salvation, because at the time I had just moved to Canada, to a small French city: 2,000 people living in the middle of the forest. Back then I had no choice. The only job I could get was in a factory. The course was my magic wand!
I started to grow as a photographer, but Covid happened, and I realized that no other work, except online work, would suit me.
The course is not a magic pill, but it's one of those steps that you can take along your way. Each step is crucial to reach the final point!
You will be able to use this knowledge in the future, even in other spheres. You will be able to promote yourself as an expert, because you already know how! Life is unpredictable, so we never even know what we'll be doing in a year or two. :) These steps help us get closer to our dreams.
I chose local photographers as my first cases during the course. I contacted them, but in the process, I realized that I want to develop my personal brand, not waste time working on someone else's.
Within a year, I was able to start earning 4,000 Canadian dollars with my blog and the services of a photographer. In the place where I lived, it was quite a normal amount of money.
Now I have moved again. I live in one of the most expensive cities in Canada - Vancouver, and I am starting everything here from scratch.
Now, we are trying to broadcast to a Canadian audience, doing everything, steadily growing. We already have 1000 followers. Our average income is now $ 2,000.
I understand how a blog works, what a manager should do, so it's easier for me to organize my team. In July, I hired a manager from another batch of the course to my team! When I realized that I needed someone, I knew that I would definitely find a great specialist taking this course.
