Another peek at my course...


Howdy,

I started a waitlist for my course yesterday (are you on it?).

As you might know by now, the course isn't just about testing or test automation.

I mean, it is going to cover those things, obviously.

But it's also covering:

  • Using AI to be more productive but not sloppy
  • Building authority via different kinds of LinkedIn content
  • Writing project documentation that dazzles hiring managers
  • Community service in the QA sphere
  • and more

You won't see me bragging about how long the course is.

I'm actually trying to keep it as short as I can.

Jam-packed with valuable material designed to give you some quick wins in a few key areas.

For example, you'll learn how to write an attention-grabbing insight post and get your draft reviewed by yours truly:

I'm no expert, after writing on social media for more than a year, I've learned what writing performs well and what writing doesn't.

I'll gladly help you skip the part where nobody's looking at your content.

It's not about luck. It's about quality.

Oh, and what's this little app here?

Oh yeah, I made an app earlier this year. Never finished it.

But now I'm gonna finish it. For the course.

You're going to test it as part of the Exploratory Testing module.

I'll even leave a few bugs in there for you to find. I'm sure you'll find some I don't anticipate, though.

I've been getting amazing feedback from my beta testers about the course content.

I've got a laundry list of fixes and features to implement before launch.

I'll be busy til mid-November at this rate:

If you're still on the fence, let me know in a reply what you'd want to learn.

I was on a call yesterday with someone I've chatted with on LinkedIn for a bit, and he told me it's about time we have a course where the instructor actually shows up to help.

That's why I made this.

When I was starting my journey in QA, I would've paid a lot of money to work with an instructor who could guide me through the rough patches.

Thankfully I'm not charging an arm and a leg for this thing.

It'll be a little more expensive than a high-end Udemy course when it launches ($50).

But the higher tier will come with more access.

Anyways, happy Wednesday. Hope you're as excited as I am.

Cheers,

Steven

Hey there, I told you I'd let you know where I decided to document my parkour coaching journey. Here it is: >>> Door County Traceur blog I decided it would be a good excuse to try Beehiiv since they let you have a public blog and I always wondered how it compared to Kit. I'm only using it as a blog. No emails. Not sure how notifications work for it but if you want to know what's happening, check back for updates. Cheers, Steven

First off -- Happy Valentine's Day! 🫶 If you don't have someone to go on a date with, go get some seasonal treats and have some fun. My wife and I are heading up the peninsula to a hotel and trying a new Italian restaurant. It's gonna be fun, but that's not why you opened this email. For all I know, this might be my last email. And yes, I've said this before. Twice, actually. Maybe 3 times, I forget. But this time is different (really). You might be asking yourself: Why, of all times, would...

Do you ever feel like no job's ever quite the right fit for you? A couple months ago I was on a call with 2 friends I met on 𝕏 in my early days. While we caught up, some-crazy-how we ended up on the subject on my old YouTube channel. I was that guy who recklessly deleted social media accounts claiming, "I'll never go back!" The cloud is Facebook (and of course I always did) So I don't have any photos from old Facebook accounts. All the old parkour videos I recorded with my friends when we...
