Great course- I feel like I’ve gotten good tips that I could use. I didn’t realize it was created in 2016 and wonder if the info about technology he uses is still relevant

I have been struggling to launch my business. I joined a business network group, but after all, expecting to learn professional skills from other members. However, after all, there are no real professionals who can lead a startup. I'm going to quit the group, and just stick to your instructions and Udemy. I believe that this helps me to gain the skills I need.

What a treat to not have to go through all the hassle of trying out all the equipment until you find the right fit. this is a jewel of a class and I appreciate Chris telling us exactly what he went through and found to be the "right fit equipment" for teaching online. : )

Outstanding! There is a bounty of useful and common sense topics provided. It warrants going through the course a second time to get a better grasp on the information. 4 Stars because several of the lecture videos were blank and a frustrating.
