Lesson 1: Choosing to Become an Internet Entrepreneur

Introduction

Welcome to this course, Become an Internet Entrepreneur! Hold on to your seats because this is going to be an exciting ride!

I’m Mrs. Beasley and I’m glad you are joining me on this journey! The ride to becoming an entrepreneur is packed with thrills. It’s a lot like riding a roller coaster or riding a rocket. So are you ready?

What are you going to learn in this course? What will you get out of our time together?

In these upcoming twenty-four lessons, you will learn how to start a business, create a brand around that business—whether a real one or a mock one—and learn how to promote that business through Internet marketing and traditional media. Throughout the course, you will learn foundational skills of marketing and timeless business principles.

Here are some goals I have for our time together through this course:

  1. You will discover your passions, purpose, and callings in life and career/business through hands-on opportunities of exploration. This means yes, you are going to have FUN!
  2. You will learn how to use the media arts to share the Gospel and be a light in a dark world. Now we all know that the world is pretty dark. Did you know you can shine like stars in the universe? Did you know that God wants to use your talents and gifts for His glory? This course will help you begin that journey! And I will always point you toward the Bible for solid instruction.
  3. Discover excellence in twenty-first century media arts. Sadly, excellence is sorely missing from the arts and from business. People have become lazy these days and complacent. What if you learned how to do things to the best of your ability? Would that make you stand out in a job interview or with project proposal, on a blog, or even in a future college class? This course will show you why excellence is so important and how you can be a witness for Christ in just this one area alone.
  4. Learn, discover, and create your own artistic logo, business card, multimedia portfolio presentation, video/film, and website, all based on a real business endeavor or a mock one. Yes, you are going to learn basic graphic design skills. You will learn also how to make a video, how to create a website, and how to design a business card. You will have tangible results of your time in this class. You can decide if this business is real OR if you are going to make a mock business.
