Reader,

Last time you heard from me, I was heads-down at my 9-5 wrapping up some work before the holidays.

I needed to put in some extra hours so I had less to come back to after the holidays, and I succeeded in that effort 💪🏻

Once the weekend hit, I was able to take a breather, and let me tell you, Social QA Bootcamp has been heating up.

​

One of the students not only completed their automation project, they also made their first LinkedIn post!

I had so much fun reviewing both projects before they were finalized.

​>>> Here's Ryley's post if you missed it​

While conducting 1:1 feedback sessions, some great improvements to the course came out of his feedback:

○ Playwright Project & LinkedIn Post channels in the Telegram group, so students can share solutions

○ Video content for the CI/CD module to help visual learners

​

I also created a separate repo for the Weight Tracker app you'll be testing in the course, so I can break it however I want without harming your experience if you're using the Production app.​

And the sales page is looking fantastic right now, partially thanks to Ryley for offering to design the banner at the top.

​

​

And more is yet to come prior to this launch hitting your inbox on January 1:

○ Audio dictations for each lesson via embedded Soundcloud audio players

○ Video content for the automation modules & Cursor tasks

○ Intro video for the course (in need of a re-recording)

​

I'm going to be honest with you, I underestimated how much time it takes out of my day to provide a high-quality experience for my students.

So I'm no longer offering 20 total seats for this cohort. I'm not offering the bonuses to 4 people anymore.

Here's the new situation:

• 10 total seats
• 1 "VIP" seat (bonuses = 8x 1:1 calls + QA Job Magnet)

My waitlist has already eaten up 5 of the 10 available seats. The VIP seat is still available.

​

Right now the page is disabled, but on January 1 at Noon (Central Time), the page will open again (mark your calendars).

You'll have a chance to get into the course and make 2025 an incredible year for your QA Automation goals.

Here's what's in the course, to give you a sneak peek at the sales page:

I'm so excited to offer this to you.

I didn't know how well this would do when I launched it, but it seems to be a hit.

I hope you get to partake.

​

Most of all, if you celebrate, I hope you had a lovely Christmas and for the rest of the year, I hope you reflect on how far you've come this year.

And if you're a big "New Year's Resolution" fan like me, reply to this email letting me know 1 goal you have for 2025.

​

The email machine is back up and running again, so you'll get an email every day (weekends included for this week, since I'm on holiday break and we're mid-launch) 😉

​

Cheers,

Steven
