The Unexpected Challenges of Course Creation

A Day of Record-Breaking Productivity

Yesterday, I was possessed by the spirit of productivity. I went on a rampage and set a personal record by recording 18 videos for a new course all in one day.

The Process of Uploading and the Role of My Assistant

I'm super excited about it. My epic assistant (whose official job title is "Right Hand Man") helped me upload all the videos to my community. It's a lengthy process, and he saves me a lot of time with his assistance.

The Unexpected Hurdle: Annoying Background Noise

Last night, before going to bed, I reviewed the videos and started to freak out. All the audio in each video had an annoying background noise from the relentless construction next to my building.

My Efforts to Minimize Noise and Maintain Quality

I've had to experiment with various methods to minimize this constant background noise in my videos as much as possible, using some highly effective microphone filters. But this time, the noise was too loud. I was simply too frustrated that an external circumstance had affected the quality of my hard work.

The Importance of a Quality Experience to My Customers

I honestly struggle to determine whether these things are even noticed by my customers, or if they annoy me more than they annoy them, but I strive to provide them with the best experience possible, and clean audio is a significant factor to me.

The Solution: AI Noise Removal

So, I've spent all morning finding a method to use AI to remove the background noise. Although it's a process that has already taken me a few hours, I think it's worth the effort to provide the best possible experience to my customers.

The Impact on My Confidence and Quality of Work

I'm aware that many people might have been okay with it, perhaps not even noticing the annoying noise. But it bothered me, and that would have made me less confident in promoting my work. So even though this might not have been as big of a deal as I made it in my head, it does help me feel more confident about the quality of my work. That seems worth it to me.

The Final Outcome

So there you go, I'm much happier with the results now, the updated version with significantly better audio will be published today, and I can't wait to start promoting this new course.

If you're curious, this is a new course on building a personal brand, and making a living as a digital entrepreneur. If that sounds interesting to you, it's already available in my community
