#17 - Building the Capacity to be Consistent, and Cohort Courses

Francis talks about trying to build up the capacity to keep on tweeting more as he starts to build a little bit of momentum. Even though he's only posted 1 recently, it's more than he's been posting in a long time—and the real challenge is keeping that momentum up and trying to improve over time.

Ben's been trying some new stuff to engage with his community by trying out a Draw This In Your Style challenge. We talk about how to make tweets or other images stand out in the timeline, and what Ben's been thinking as he gears up to launch his first YouTube video.

We also touch on Ben's thinking as he works on creating a new course. This one's going to be created in a more slow burn style, but he needed to do the initial crunch as he did for his initial tutorial just to prove that the whole thing could work.

We hope you enjoy this one, we love hearing your feedback, questions, and suggestions! Contact us on ⁠⁠@makenowthinklater⁠⁠ or send as an email at ⁠⁠hi@makenowthinklater.com⁠⁠.
