Me, Myself, and Marketing.

I pushed through and filmed the remainder of Part 7 of Foundations of Magic: Science & Magic. It is up and ready for your enjoyment. But now I must set about my next task, marketing.  It is not easy to produce digital content on one’s own from start to finish.  There are a number of skills I do not have, like the ability to remember all my animation cues while I try to ‘act natural’ on camera.  It is even harder to get people to buy what ever comes out at the end.  Fortunately, I have a mentor in the ways of marketing who has been extremely helpful in telling me what I need to do next.  Which is, write a blog.  

Now, in addition to the content I am trying to finish for Udemy, I have to create things people would want to read on a regular basis. Let me tell you from the perspective of a librarian or academic the very idea of creating and selling knowledge is very different than organizing or analyzing it.  But I want to do this. I want to do this because there are many reasons. Yes, you read that right, I want to do this because I have a lot of reasons to do it.  It is like climate change, there is a preponderance of reasons to act, so the rational thing to do is to act. 

So, over the many weeks to come I will use this space to share those reasons with you. I can’t sell this project in one clean package. But I can take it apart, bit by bit and share it with you.  The first reason I am doing this is to increase awareness.

The study of magic is truly interdisciplinary. And I wanted to create this course as a launching pad for other people. One can never know how a small bit of information can cascade into a work of art, a research project, or a discourse.  More specifically to this most recent course I want people to become aware of the interdisciplinary methodology required to analyse the boundary between Science & Magic through the historical lens of Astrology and Alchemy.

So, I present to you the promo codes for all my courses I have completed thus far.
