Hello folks, welcome back to another video before we dive into this tour of this application and an overview
I wanted to thank notion for being the sponsor of January 2020
They are the sponsors this month and you can find out all the details about them below. Now notion is an all-in-one workspace
I use it for a range of things and most importantly
Holistically managing my work. I use it as my project manager. I use it as a way to be able to see
You know for example like each week
I have like a business development Thursday's sort of thing where I sit down I sort of overview what's working
What's not working in terms of activities that I'm doing? So it's almost like a listicle planner for me
I also use it to manage our
Upcoming list of stuff we need to get for the baby also
Workouts habits and for finance too. So it's also become a treasure trove
Planning and coordinating the majority of my life now. You can check it out in the link in description
I want to pay particular focus on the New Year's templates that are available
I'll include that link in description
But you can use the 2019 year and review the 2020 simple resolutions and also a great one
That allows you to plan a bucket list - so notion is really accessible. I recommend tracking about in link in description. Thank you guys
So have you seen those master class ants and are curious at whether it's worth the money in today's review
We're gonna be taking a look at monster class and giving you our first impressions
It's something that I wanted to try for a while. So let's dive into today's video
Dokie so the pricing is something I wanted to mention before we began now the pricing is
fourteen pounds seventeen per month and you probably think that's I guess fairly reasonable if you're paying for quite a lot you paying for
seventy five instructors and
Also according to them at sixteen thousand minutes worth of content
Now, of course, all of them are not going to be relatable directly to you
But at the same time they're adding more and more
So in that year, they could probably only adding a couple more and they're at the rate they're going they're probably adding about
Ten per month maybe in the last six months maybe but in again, it might slow down
So as you can see here, um, you can get started. I have already paid for it
It was a grand total of one hundred and seventy pound
Um in the UK, so that probably works out about 200 just over two hundred dollars, which I think it's fairly high
but then again
I'll talk through my reasoning to why I think the pricing is that high a little later on now
I wanted to show you round I managed to get and play with a few lessons
And take a few
What I did is this is the master class account. This is what it looks like up here
You've got search so you can search any of them
Say for example if I'm like ok
Let me look at hand zimmer
Because I saw that one a while ago is one of the earliest ones
You can see here that you can access all twenty set four of its lessons through search
categories so you can pin down say business and people that you may want to follow like Howard Schultz the
Starbucks founder
Community this is almost like a discord channel so you can go into home
Page and almost a chat with people. It's not discord at discourse
Forum as well as networking contests and student highlights
you've got quick lists as well as the courses I chose and they at the start when you enter it they are ask you which
Courses you wanna add to your library?
Which is quite nice because then it gets you sort of rolling. I chose to Bob Iger one on business strategy in leadership
Also Malcolm Gladwell's one on teaching
Sara Blakely on teaching self-made entrepreneurship and Chris Voss is one on teaching the art of negotiation
So, it's quite cool you get to continue the lesson wherever you were at and I started the second lesson at Bob iger's one now
Let me talk to you about that sort of structure of each one
so for example, the Bob either one is
13 lessons, um they range in size they say the average lesson is I think 20 minutes long
but it depends on the course and
This use your time effectively, which will jump into a second was about six minutes long. But whereas this there's this one down here
Tenets for success. It's about 16 minutes long
So let me show you what it looks like in each of the courses without showing you any of the content
So what's cool is you get the lesson as well as a downloadable?
workbook which gives you other exercises or a summary of the session as well as lesioned has got less in
discussions so that people can chat about
You know the sort of concepts that he talks about
Okay
So without showing you any of the content because I probably get told off
You can see here that if I view all the lessons you can see all the ones coming up you did skip to the next
Lesson when you pause it, the lesson PDF is downloadable, which is quite cool
you also get it down here as well and you can rate the particular lesson that you are on you can also
Scroll to a certain segment and what are quite liked about this when I was on this structuring the day segments. Um
It actually was quite interesting because it breaks down a specific lesson
And you also get sort of like when he arrives in the office you get it sort of a idea of his day
But I'm looking forward to more taking these sort of 10 minute plus
Lessons because I think they'll go into the more the juice than these do and I probably will do in 28 days after
review
But you can also get captions as well if you want English captions on so you can change
The quality of the stream up to 1080p which is great because they're filmed really in high quality
And of course it's with the founder of the company, so that's pretty good and you can see here the upcoming lesson
So these are the top rated lessons
but as you can see
They're a bit sort of chunkier in size
And this is a 13 lesson one so you can get one set of 24 lesson
Then I found a few of their few that were the majority actually probably forward twenty four lessons
Which is fairly good and this is where the discussions tab can happen down here and you can even attach
Any progress you're making as well. So what's cool is you also get like articles and lists. So for example if you want to see
Certain videos in lessons that are particular to screen dialogue and stage that sort of brought in by lots of different people
Then you can do and you can sort of read these
Lists and take advantage of them and the lessons that are inside of them and as you scroll
Obviously you get sort of like a Netflix preview of each one and they sort of entice you to start them
There's 75. I would say the majority of them are gonna relate to me only because like I don't know
I'm not gonna be learning ballet technique anytime soon. Neither. Am I going to be doing gymnastics?
but again, it really depends because I guess you could dabble in learning a bit about poker or
maybe you know maybe looking at
You know how makeups done? I don't know but you you get the concept this is sort of like the top people in each industry
so the promising was
170 pound just over $200 for the all-access plan. And the reason why I'm
Okay with that pricing is if you look at platforms like Skillshare
They obviously have maybe thousands of courses, but you're paying us ninety six dollars per year with them
Which is about 70 for pound. It's about 100 pound more than Skillshare. But again, you're getting high-quality
filmed classes you're getting people who have
Expertise
Are the best in the industry age thing? And you're also getting 75 classes of those which is pretty good
so again
I think paying the premium the 100 pound more for the fact that you're you know getting
You know professionals doing this again. I think that's a pretty high price. But again if you like we charge like
Just below 200 lords for our notion course and all you learn this notion where it's in this you can pick and choose
You can go through I think over 16,000 minutes of content, which is pretty reasonable. So again, it's fairly
Acceptable I think it's an acceptable price and again, you can always look out for deals
I think they have like 20% off every now nobody always running ads
but it's totally up to that sort of company that
You got to look for those ads and they may not be running them all the time
But anyway, first impressions pretty happy check out the bombarded classism was fairly impressed so far
I'll be taking a few diving into them and letting you know my 28 day opinion and I'll actually give you my 28-day review because
30 days you actually get to return your money if you do not love the courses
So I will be giving you that because I'll be taking a few and be like wow
If I'm not impress like massively impressed, then I can return my money cuz there's a 30-day guarantee. So
You know, let's see they've obviously set a high standard with the 70 ads and over the years. I've been bombarded with them
So now it's sort of the time to give you my review, but guys, I hope you found that useful
