I want to thank all of you for the last 30 days. The course creators, tech support, Lydia, Monica, and my fellow challengers have been more fun and supportive than I could’ve ever imagined. I’m thrilled to have had the honor of working with you fantastic, talented people during this course. It has truly been amazing. I’ve learned wonderful things from all of you. I’m going to recommend this course far and wide. God bless you all!

Woohoo! I have made some real progress this week and I am CAUGHT UP! Yay! I’m starting to get very specific ideas about how to monetize my blog and help some people at the same time. I’m very excited. I need to shift my focus to my theme/appearance/layout on my website. I want to organize it to be more “user friendly” and try out a bunch of the WordPress features I’ve been learning about, which are AWESOME! And I need to develop my social media presence and do more research on targeting the right groups for my services. I’m looking forward to all of it!

This group is to help students prepare for the ACT, ask for study advice, and support one another as they get ready to take the test.

The primary reason I joined the Challenge was to combine my two favorite things: teaching and writing. My monetization plan is to add tutoring services to help students prepare for the ACT. I’ve practiced my way up to scoring in the 99th percentile on my practice tests and I understand how to explain my methods to students in a fun, relaxed way. As a veteran math teacher, I may expand my services to offer math tutoring for all levels from junior high math through college calculus. I love teaching teenagers, and I’m really excited about using my website to showcase my services. My biggest challenge will be letting the people who need me know I’m here!

My new favorite part of my day is added images to my blog. I am a picture uploading FOOL! Thank you, Canva, for being awesome!

This past week I have hit some snags that have slowed me down, but they’ve also taught me to do research outside the course, which has led me to all kinds of fantastic and useful information. It has reminded me that I’m in control of what I get out of the course, and the more I work at it, the more I learn. I have some ladies in the course I’ve chatted with over the past week who are absolutely dynamite. They write great posts and they inspire me to keep improving my own writing. I’m very happy with my progress and can’t wait to see what comes next!

Yes, I am storing my contacts on Constant Contact, but because I am still in the 60 day trial period, I am ineligible to use their pop-up feature. I verified this on the phone with Tony, my Constant Contact representative. So in order to complete Day 17, I tried to find another system that would allow a pop-up for restricting user access. Still no luck, so I just skipped that part of the Day 17 assignment and moved on. Several other 30DBC Challengers have voiced the same problem in the News Feed, so I’m comforted by knowing it isn’t just me. I can wait and add that feature when the 60 day trial is up at Constant Contact if I decide to go with their “paid” option.
