Our Forum At Over 3000+ Members! - The Weekly Recap
Sep 10, 2021 3:02 pm
Dear Reader,
A couple of updates before we get into the content for this week...
I have been flat out trying to build the new website for our Expat International School and taking calls with eligible families, I honestly think this could be the greatest thing I have ever done with my life, I am so excited that it is tough to sleep at night when I think of all the possibilities. I have only hinted at some of the things that will come out with this new school and how it will change the landscape for international schools. If you have kids between 8 and 19 and want to go on the waiting list and find out more information about this school you can fill out the form here https://private.expatmoney.io/expat-international-school
Our fledgling Facebook group, the Expat Money Forum, has just hit 3000+ members! I am so pleased to see some much interaction and lots of back and forth (most of which is friendly) between members. There are loads of different topics about expat life, tax issues, offshore banking, international real estate, and more. I actually really enjoy interacting with everyone there - it's free to join.
After months and months of having no access, I finally got back onto Parler. I am not a big one for Social Media as I reckon it is a giant time suck, that's why I don't have a very big following on Social, saying that, I do have over 8000 followers on Parler so I will be trying to use it strategically to connect with my followers there. If you are on Parler, come say hello.
That's my update for this week, let's get into all the content we did this week, enjoy!

In-Demand Skills, On-Demand Courses
Thursday I went on a little rant about how you need to be proficient in so many different skills and software packages to run your own online business. Personally, I am always taking courses and trying to upgrade my skills in a variety of mediums. The new marketplace I just found is ideal for this and the prices for their courses are cheap as chips.
