I found a lead magnet from ages ago: a list of websites with texts that are similar in content and genre to those of the OET Test. It is now on my website with a Mailerlite automation. Sent a demo and it works.

In the UK there are various CPD organisations and I went with the CPDSO who (without any questions) accredited my OET Ready course. It is worth 6 CPD hours as part of a professional's portfolio. I have four more activities that I can get accredited now and am considering which ones to do. One option is to make a single seminar into a leader for the longer course. I'm thinking of a longer running receptive skills program (this can be adapted to B2-C1), a shorter 'productive skills course' aimed at improving those skills up one CEFR level, a 90 minute study skills seminar (how to record yourself, use transcription, use AI for speaking, use an SRS) and one other, possibly for a new high value client. Nice decisions to make. I am reminded of Leo saying 'teachers put a lot of effort into designing activities but not so much into designing courses'.

A great year of podcasting. 🎙️ And a fancy new microphone 😂 Two great reasons to make a quick video to thank you. I have to say that 2024 has been an incredible year for us at the Teacher Talking Time podcast. Of course @Leonardo Gomes, @Michael Landry and I are insanely biased, but the guests that came on our show this year were simply incredible. Thank you for listening - it really means a lot. As you all send us comments on our latest episode with Sarah Mercer, it reminds us of the impact and connection discussing teaching has. It's been 6 years of doing the show and we couldn't do it without all of you. We have a great lineup already in store for 2025 (Jennifer Jenkins, John Levis, David Little, and more) but also wanted to appreciate what we put out this year. If you listen to our show, thank you. What was your favourite episode this year? P.S. and how does the mic sound? 🎙️

I've got big news to share! The Video Game Copywriting Crash Course releases today! 😍 Video Game Copywriting Crash Course: https://lnkd.in/eGPsyiVN I just want to thank the Teacher Support Network for helping me figure out my mission. I have a clearer direction thanks to you! Now, the difficulty will be selling the course. I've already posted on LinkedIn and Instagram and messaged people who might be interested. I'm thinking about either doing some partnerships or asking for free promotion in exchange for promoting their services. Any other ideas? Suggestions?
