ah i love love love flying drones traveling the world and discovering and exploring the places i'm
in with my four drones and i'm so excited because it's the holidays and i received my first drone
two christmases ago and i know so many people are going to be getting drones for the holidays and i
want to make it super easy for you to get set up and get outside flying like a badass in no time
when i first got my drone two years ago i was overwhelmed i what laws do i need to know how
do i control this drone how do i make sure i don't crash i don't want to do something illegal
there were so many things that held me back from becoming very good very quickly and as
soon as i got over myself it was easy and so what i have done is i've launched a course
and in today's live stream i'm going to be taking you through what that course is all about and
this live stream and the 16 live streams i'm doing across six platforms is one of the ways you can
access all the content for free so i'll get into that but the other thing is i will share with you
some other fun behind the scenes around why i created this course etc and you're kind of getting
that hint already around what i struggled with two christmases ago when i got my first drone but
hi if you don't know me yo i'm christine lozada i'm a travel creator and a drone pilot
and you might not know this actually i used to be in the corporate world forever i used to do
marketing merchandising and business strategy for places like walmart and amazon i don't know
if you've heard of them you probably have but that was my old life and i was just tired of being in a
cubicle all day and i was like i'm gonna go travel the world and that's what i do now i basically for
the last two plus years i have non-stop traveled the world i have not been in one place for more
than three weeks for the last seven years actually but i started my youtube channel around travel
around two and a half years ago and i also became a drone pilot um in 2020 so that's fairly recently
and now i have helped thousands of people to get into flying drones super easily and super fast
so let's dive into what someone will learn in this course and actually you know i really love behind
the scenes so let's do a true behind the scenes because why not so this is in the show notes and
is available to everybody but on this page it's basically bringing through uh what's in the course
and so the way i set it up actually hold on let's do this view why not so you can see me the way i
set up this course is have you ever been to a restaurant and you're like oh like i've never
eaten here before like what are the good dishes to get and the waiter or waitress is always like just
look at the stuff with the stars on it and you're like oh those are the house favorites got it okay
that's what they recommend i set up my course in the same exact way so what you see on the screen
you'll see a couple places where there are three asterisks and this is the everybody learns
different i as i've helped thousands of people to fly drones some people really want to know
everything like give me all the info i want to spend hours and hours and hours geeking out
and other people tell me like well what are the basics that i need to know asap so that i can get
from the box to flying super super fast yo mia i see you in the chat and i wanted to give you
both and so there's the part of the course where you can fast track it what's the bare minimum you
gotta know what are the drone laws you need to know how do you need to set up blah blah blah
and then there's all of the faqs that people are asking me all the time trust what is trust it's
the recreational uas safety test and it's required by every flying for fun pilot to take free course
online i give you the scoop on that also and don't forget that info future live stream all these free
live streams are going to be linked on my website christinelizada.com so you can find that there
i also put it in the show notes of this video i'm all about making it easy for people because
don't we have enough complicated stuff in our life as it is so let's jump back to the course okay so
this is how it's set up um and this is what you can see on the website today which linkedin
linked in the info below but that's not a true behind the scenes like let's talk about
behind the scenes so but true behind the scenes this is what i see on my side
you can kind of see how it's set up oh this is important so my course actually launched launches
on january 1st right now i'm doing a discounted pre-sale for 49 and it goes up after the first
i basically want everyone to get to flying for a fraction of what a drone actually costs and so
the way i have set it up and this is an example of a section of the course that's optional
i don't know if you know this a lot of people feel nervous about flying outside but a lot of people
don't know that you can practice flying inside the number one mistake that i see people making
is they will either do one of two things one they will go buy a cheap toy drone and practice with
the cheap toy drone and that pains me because one it oftentimes does not fly at all like a regular
drone two you've spent money you don't need on three something you'll never use ever ever again
and never actually performs or does anything that your true dji drone will do and so i have
um helped a lot of people to save themselves from that and also the last person i flew with
who had a toy drone um i tried it out i crashed it within as soon as actually i pressed take off
because they don't fly like a regular drone and she literally three minutes after we separated
waze and went our separate ways she bought a dji drone she bought the mavic air 2s which is
this drone right here fantastic drone so i want people to avoid buying toy drones and
the other thing that people do is they try to fly in the house and if you're not familiar with that
if you've ever gotten on your cell phone while you're inside of an elevator oh sorry hello
you there you dropped the call you dropped the call when you're in the elevator because your
phone can't pick up gps that's your drone in the house it's hard for your drone to pick up on gps
and so when you fly your drone outside boom it will stay steady but when you're in a house
your drone often floats and will oftentimes hit a wall and that's very discouraging for people
who are first time flying the drone and so i encourage people to use virtual flight simulators
it's a fantastic way to understand what does the left control do what does the left stick do
oh the left stick helps me to look left and right what does the right stick do that one actually
helps you to move left and right etc etc etc and so i bring people through the optional section of
a virtual flight simulator before bringing them outside and it's not just about okay
send the drone let's fly it outside there are six specific exercises that i take people through
every time i fly with new drone flyers and these six exercises are ones that not only
builds confidence but also build on each other so that every future flight that you have
is going to be successful and so that's how the course is set up again it's a fast-track
version and it's also helping to give more information in case someone is looking for it
and is building on helping people to get the confidence and the know-how to be able to fly
outside and why did i do this because when i first got my drone for christmas two years ago
i was wowed by how dry the content is out there that teaches you how to fly a drone it's very
very infor informational it has what you need to know but it was as dry as the sahara desert and
it kind of felt like eating a well done steak that you put in the microwave for five additional
minutes and it comes out crunchy at the end like i did not want that and to be honest and true
behind the scenes fashion i just took another course it wasn't a drone course actually it
was about instagram uh instagram reels it was trying to become a better creator in instagram
and i was in shock and awe because that entire presentation was actually that was a presentation
it wasn't a course it was somebody reading slides and you never saw their face in my course i wanted
to be exactly the opposite i did not want to just read slides i put written information in there
for people the notes if they want them but it is me talking people through it and i'm oftentimes
telling you go grab your phone or go grab your drone for this section like let's do this together
like let's learn together and not let me just read you slides i am super thankful for this course
i use it every night to fall asleep i can get from being wide awake to sleeping while watching this
course within 10 seconds so i i wanted to build the opposite of that so that's a little bit of
a behind the scenes on how that looks all right let's talk about free resources and how to access
more of this content for free in case you need that kind of financial assistance oh and a fun
thing a giveaway it's almost my birthday so let's talk about that free resources so i have not just
this course but i have a free drone facebook group in which actually last night i i answered
someone's question live in there he was asking hey i watched you know your video about how you posted
social media and i made sure i had the settings correct to post to social media in high quality
in other words most people are actually posting to tick tock and instagram and youtube and a million
other places compressing their photos and videos it's a literal setting that you have to put where
in tik tok on the last page you put upload in hd in instagram you have to go you have to go
to settings data usage upload in high quality and not data saver within and then it goes on
for each platform most people don't know this and they can't figure out why all of their
drone footage is pixelated when they are uploading it to these platforms i have a full video on that
you can find it on my drone channel you can find it on my instagram you can find it on my youtube
shorts you can find it in a lot of places i'll link it below in the show notes as well
but there's another aspect to it which is there are three ways that you can shoot render
and edit to make sure that you are getting the highest quality drone photo and video and so
free resource my drone facebook group people support each other in there a lot i got a lot
of amazing pilots in there that are helping each other i jump on all the time like i did last night
to answer people's questions through quick videos and live streams so that's one thing a second one
that i have in my email list i send lots of fun tips and i also talk about my free drone meetups
in a lot of the places i travel to i let people fly my drones
try it out why not or if you have your own i'll help you work on something that you're working on
i also have this course again on pre-sale at 49 until the first but i am going live every day 16
times 16 days of live streams breaking down just like you're hearing today a section of the course
today i'm breaking down the intro this is the intro to the course obviously you get the edited
fun version if you actually sign up for the course or listen to me blab while i think about drinking
this coffee that's next to me so that's what's coming oh and my birthday it's on the 27th um it's
on the 27th and for the live stream i'm doing that day i'll be doing giveaways of my course
i was also thinking about running a marathon on that day not a literal race but just
running a marathon and live streaming that also while doing a fundraiser for a non-profit to be
announced which by the way for all um a portion of the proceeds of all my course sales will go
toward a non-profit um i am in conversations with three of them right now i haven't decided
which one it's going to be at the end of the day i want to find the one with the most impact
that's a true behind the scenes right there all right team drone course everything i've
talked about is in the show notes below free resources paid resources choose your own adventure
i'm christine thanks for spending some time with me this beautiful morning i
think it is time for me to go fly my drones so i will catch y'all in the next one ciao
