Staying Positive as a Course Creator

David and Liz share practical thoughts on staying positive, managing online negativity, and protecting your energy as a creator.

Quick answer: how can course creators stay positive through busy seasons?

Course creators can stay positive through busy or difficult seasons by setting boundaries around social media, moderating community spaces consistently, focusing on the students they can help, and taking small actions that protect their energy. For Zenler creators, this also means building a supportive learning environment where comments, community posts, and conversations stay useful for students.

Welcome to this team vlog with Zenler educators David and Liz.

In this interview, David and Liz talk about staying positive when negativity appears on social media, inside communities, or around your online course business.

So, before we get into the video, let's look at exactly what that means.

Negativity on social media refers to the presence of negative or critical comments, statements, or attitudes expressed by users on social media platforms. These comments can range from mildly critical or disapproving to outright abusive or hateful. Negative comments on social media can have a range of negative impacts, both on the individuals or groups being targeted and on the overall tone and environment of a social media platform or community.

There are many reasons why people might engage in negative comments on social media. Some people may do so out of a genuine belief that they are criticizing something that is wrong or harmful. Others may do so out of anger, frustration, or a desire to vent their emotions. Still, others may do so in an attempt to gain attention or to feel more powerful or influential.

Regardless of the motivations behind it, negativity on social media can have serious consequences. It can contribute to the creation of a toxic or hostile online environment, making it difficult or even unsafe for certain individuals or groups to participate.

There are things that social media users can do to address negativity on social media. This can include measures such as moderating content. It can also involve efforts to promote positive, respectful, and inclusive online interactions, such as by encouraging the use of kindness and empathy when communicating with others online.

In this interview, you will hear some experiences shared by the team on how they dealt with situations that cropped up and exactly what you can do to protect yourself and your community from negativity.

Finally, in this interview, you will get a sneak peek into just how you can remain positive when you do have a situation that is trying to pull you down.

Watch the conversation for practical ways to cope with negativity, protect your energy, and keep supporting your students through busy seasons.

Happy holidays,
