Go Viral on Social Media Udemy Course Review (Tomoson)



I received access to the Go Viral on Social Media Course on Udemy, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The course teaches you how to market your content on social media. You will learn about branding; transcribing videos without typing; Pinterest marketing; Facebook marketing, and how to create videos to get increased likes. The course contains 69 sections.

You also will learn about floating social media buttons. I have used add this for floating buttons. Floating buttons allow readers to share your content without having to scroll to the top or bottom of your page. The instructor uses SumoMe, which I haven't heard of before until the course.

Next, you will learn about optimizing your videos. I haven't done this since I graduated from Full Sail. Videos need to be short and to the point. The instructor recommends videos being no longer than 2 minutes. If they are longer, then break them down into a multipart series. I had previously learned to keep your videos between 2 and 5 minutes, depending on content. You want people to watch your videos all the way through. You want your videos to be engaging. The author also recommends monetizing your videos on YouTube. My videos are monetized, but I don't make much money on YouTube. Once you get a set amount of subscribers, I know you can offer paid content, where users pay you to access a video. YouTube also has a donate button now.

Next, you need to think about your tags and descriptions. If you are a company or blog, add your blog or company name in the tag and descriptions. Add your website in the description. The instructor also recommends businesses add their address and phone number for customers can reach them.

Finally, I will discuss transcription. The instructor discusses paying for transcription, but you can do this yourself. You can either type up your transcript in word and paste it into YouTube or typing it in manually into YouTube. Both processes take time because you have to match up the words to the screen. You do have to adjust the sliders to match things up. It is a long process, but it is worth it.

The author also recommends using the transcription button in Word to type up your transcript. Even in school, I had to type up a written transcript, plus add one into YouTube. This made it easier because everything was written up, but I still had to match the words up.

I received the Complete SEO course on Udemy, in exchange for honest review. The course provides over 100 audio lessons on how to improve SEO and improve rankings on Google. The course is taught by Matt Jenson from IMarketXL.

The courses are short so you have to backtrack and rewind a few times to understand the information. Some of the lessons taught are keywords; content creation; search terms; social media, and plug ins.



I also loved the visuals provided in the course .

Udemy Martial Arts Course and Giveaway (Tomoson)

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I reviewed Udemy's Martial Art Course, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. Udemy is an online course site, similar to Cousera or Open Learning. You can learn new skills at your own pace. Udemy offers a Martial Arts course for children.

I wanted to review the course for my kids, in addition to my niece and nephew. They  need lots of discipline and activities to get out of my hair (and I have very little). The course is also the internet's first Martial Arts for Kids Massive Open Online Classroom.

About the Course:

The course will teach children respect, discipline, physical fitness, and coordination. The course comes with 13 classes and a handbook. The course teaches self-defense art of Shou' Shu' Kung Fu.

The lessons are in video form, which works well for visual learners, such as myself and my kids. The first few lessons teaches formal and informal salutes. Students will also learn about uniforms, basic stances, locking elbows, and then they will practice various exercises. Students can also take notes while watching the video on the right side of the screen.


I loved the first lesson, which discussed salutes. The instructor focused on how to show respect using a salute versus showing disrespect. You never want to show disrespect. You show respect when entering a room or to say hello to someone. The children in the video looked disciplined also.
