I follow that FB page. The person that runs this seminar is active enough and appears to know what she is talking about. But, it is worth $250? No, all those topics discussed are disccused here regularily for free!
Full disclosure, I also offer an online course in conjunction with my YouTube channel. Like any online course all the information in the course is available somewhere else for free. Shoot, in some states you can become an attorney without going to law school. I purchased an online course to obtain my Part 107 FAA certification to fly a drone commercially, but I could have read through all the FAA material and watched many videos online and figured it out. Everything everywhere can be learned with enough time and resources but much of the information can be scattered over many different places. What should be included in most online courses is a well curated set of information that saves someone time and potentially money that is worth more than the cost to enroll. For many people, time is money and not everyone wants to sift through pages and pages of posts on TUG to learn the same thing. The instructor of the course probably has years, if not decades. I am fine with different ways for people to learn how to do something. An online forums isn't something that everyone likes to partake in, so for them, perhaps Facebook works well. For others, online video may be idea. With all of those, you won't find everything all in one place and this is where an online course can be good for others. Giving people options is a great thing and if people are wanting to charge for their expertise and others are willing to pay for it, there really is nothing wrong with that. Different people value their time differently.I charge you half price at $125 and guarantee that you will learn more from me than that so-called travel hack. You can get the tips + more for free here at TUG, and with $15 TUG membership, you learn everything there is to know about II.
You don't even need to spend the $15, the TUG BBS forums are free!Join TUG for $15, read a lot, much better deal.
Well said. I would not spend $250 to get this course, but it is because I already know these stuff from experience. To someone else who wants to quick course, it may be money that they will prefer to spend. But whoever who wants to pay for the course needs to know that, it cannot cover everything within a 2-hr period.Full disclosure, I also offer an online course in conjunction with my YouTube channel.

I agree, 2 hours isn't enough to cover everything. Not even close. What I understand about the course is it somewhat a specific use case and covers how to use the II interface.Well said.

True, but the Sightings board certainly enhances use of the exchange accounts, II and RCI, specially for people that don't want to go digging around for these tips and tricks.You don't even need to spend the $15, the TUG BBS forums are free!
