An Experienced Educator Juan Van Emmerloot is not only a respected musician but also a creative entrepreneur with a diverse career in the music industry. Starting as a touring drummer in the Netherlands at just 19, Juan has since expanded his talents into teaching and mentoring. He founded The Groove Impact Academy in Arnhem, where he coaches advanced drummers and offers enterprise percussion workshops for organizations and teams. In addition to his in-person teaching, Juan has launched an online drumming business, hosting comprehensive courses on Forento. His courses allow him to share his expertise with a global audience, fostering the next generation of drummers. Juan's In-Person Academy Juan began teaching as a way to deepen his understanding of drumming. Early in his career, he realized that creating educational material for others was the best way to refine his skills and further develop as a musician. Teaching quickly became more than a side project; it was a way for him to share his passion. Over time, teaching evolved from a personal learning tool into an actual career. " The fun part about teaching in my situation is sharing the possibility of becoming better at an instrument " he explains. Throughout his career, Juan has taught students in places such as the Conservatorium in Rotterdam and his private drumming school, which he started in 1992. Today, his main venture is the Groove Impact Academy, established about a decade ago. " It's not for beginners but for people who already play at a high level, " Juan emphasizes. His students are people who are already committed to playing the drums and are actively playing and teaching themselves. The Online Courses Juanâs courses are tailored for advanced drummers who have been playing for at least five years. The focus is on creativity and personal expression rather than rigid academic structures. " I believe everyone can be creative. I just need to remove the barriers in peopleâs minds " Juan says. His teaching style encourages students to explore their unique approaches to drumming. His platform, Drumming Secrets Revealed, offers a range of courses, from fundamental drumming techniques to advanced skills. " I focus on drummers who can already play. The course depends on students taking responsibility for studying and playing actively " Juan explains. Juan's initial experience with course platforms was less than ideal. He was referred to a course platform by an eager friend who wanted to reap referral benefits. Over time, Juan realized that he was paying top dollar for a very complex platform with no real customer support, and decided to move on. Joining Forento Juan started creating his platform during the early days of Forento, at the beginning of 2023. He found out about the platform through LinkedIn. " Someone from the Forento team messaged me on LinkedIn, asking about my online courses and mentioning Forento " he says. " The fact that I could talk directly to a real person, not a bot, was important to me " he also notes. " Forento makes life easy for me when creating something " Juan says. After spending many hours on Forento, uploading videos, editing courses, and setting up memberships, Juan has become a good friend of the Forento product and team. This is because Forento has allowed him to do what he does best: create high-quality training for the next generation of drummers. Looking Ahead Juanâs plans include more touring and expanding his role as a music producer. " In 2025, I will be more active as a music producer. There are albums that Iâm working on now, two of which will be released next year " he reveals. For those interested in his courses or getting in touch, Juan invites people to visit the contact section on his website or email him at drummingsecretsrevealed@gmail.com . The Drumming Secrets Revealed website is also where you'll find more information about Juan's courses and training. If you'd like to learn more about Juan's story, his online courses, and his business you can a full, video interview we did with Juan back in August of 2023, here: Juan's Journey from Drummer to Educator - Forento Talks It's Your Turn If you're interested in creating an online course, an e-book, or selling coaching services online, Forento is your new best friend. We've made it our mission to bring you the best tools for monetizing your content. To anyone looking to create a course, Juan says, " Publish your course as soon as possible. I recommend publishing your course with three chapters and then continuing to work on it as you receive feedback from students . " We at Forento think this is a great tip for future course creators, and it aligns very well with how we're developing Forento as a product. If you spend too long working on your course, chances are the content is based on assumptions rather than what students want or need. If you publish your course early and gather feedback to develop the remaining chapters, you'll end up with a course that includes content that students actually want. If you're ready to start building your online course, we're happy to have you.

When she's not working on her travel agency and training business, she's the Design Director for an e-learning company where she develops apps and products for teachers. In 2018, Nina's oldest daughter joined the Air Force, first stationed in Hawaii, while they lived in New Jersey. Wanting to support her daughter throughout her career, Nina knew that the family would need to travel frequently in the coming years. With this in mind, Nina began her journey as a Travel Agent. As a travel agent, she helps clients plan, book, and organize trips, including flights, accommodations, transportation, and activities. From the outset, she developed her own systems for acquiring customers and growing her personal brand. Thanks to her extensive marketing background, she quickly began mentoring other agents. Initially, Nina shared tools and setups with clients to help them easily manage their businesses. Not long after, she also started hosting challenges, boot camps, and retreats for travel agents. This was the birth of the Travel Creators. The Travel Creators Club The Travel Creators⢠Club is a library of learning for anyone who wants to build a business as a travel agent. On the platform, courses such as Tech & Tools for Entrepreneurs and Storytelling Masterclass are offered to members on a subscription basis. The platform also offers other resources, such as the Periodic Table of Content , a content planning system for influencers who want to create travel-related content. The platform serves two types of customers: travel agents who want to grow their businesses through social media and content creators who want to enter the travel space. It acts as a learning hub for anyone who wants to enter the travel agent business and enhance it through content creation, offering both premium training and some free resources. One could say that Nina and the Travel Creators are shaping a new profession, a new kind of job. They're betting on combining two existing industries. In the future, Nina plans to offer in-person training for the club, such as full weekend retreats, content creation cruises, and pop-up events. The goal is not only to educate and train clients but also to help them create actual content for their personal brands and businesses. The Travel Creators Club on Forento "I've pretty much tried every course builder out there through client work, so I had a clear understanding of what I needed," Nina says regarding her research for the Travel Creators Club. She couldn't find any tools that were easy to use without compromising on visualsâuntil she found Forento. "Setting up courses, publishing products, connecting a domain, and managing the platform was incredibly easy with Forento. Even though I'm quite tech-savvy, I can see how people who aren't can still build something easily with Forento" Nina adds. You can see The Travel Creators' website here and their platform filled with courses and valuable resources can be found here . If you'd like to get in contact with Nina or join the Travel Creators Club, visit her website or reach her on social media as "nina millan" It's Your Turn When we asked Nina for advice on course creation, she said, "A lot of people think about what they want to do. Just take action. Sign up for something like Forento and start building. You'll learn and improve your training over time." She also added, "You need to be obsessed with finding, identifying, and helping to solve a problem or overcome an obstacle." If you, like Nina, want to build a business around your experience and knowledge, you're more than welcome to get started using Forento.
See moreRoopesh: an Experienced Supervisor and Trainer In the UK, after graduating with an optometry degree, students must complete a "pre-registration" year to become fully qualified optometrists. During this year, they work under the supervision of a registered optometrist in a practice or hospital, learning to apply their skills in real-life situations. Today's creator, Roopesh, is one of those supervisors. He has supervised more than 20 pre-reg optometrists in the last 20 years and has a unique understanding of the pre-registration process, and the study & work of optometrists. The year-long pre-registration process typically consists of supervised clinical practice, and regular competency assessments, and ends with an examination (OSCE, Objective Structured Clinical Examination). Pre-reg optometrists must pass the exam to begin practicing independently. As a supervisor, Roopesh has assisted more than 20 optometrists during their year of pre-registration and found the process quite ineffective. " I realized that I was saying the same things year after year and thought I could just create some videos for the new optometrists to watch as the repetition was large and frankly tiresome to keep repeating the same things year after year. " This was when the vision of becoming a leading provider of education for optometrists came to life. Roopesh went ahead and looked for course platforms and began developing the content for his upcoming training. Every pre-reg optometrist's best friend Roopesh has turned his experience as an optometrist and mentor into a series of specialized courses designed to guide new optometrists through their year of pre-registration. Understanding that the journey to becoming a qualified optometrist can be challenging and complex, Roopesh has developed clear, structured courses that break down each stage of the process into manageable steps. His courses cover everything from the initial competencies that new optometrists must master to more advanced topics like contact lens fitting and the important final exams. Each course is crafted with the learner in mind, offering practical advice, useful resources, and a systematic approach to mastering the necessary skills. When asked about what makes his courses stand out, Roopesh says, " Whilst there are competitors in this field, I have found the Forento creation to provide a much cleaner interface for learners ." Forento is not only easy to use as a creator, but it provides a clear and user-friendly platform for your students and members. This allows you to focus on creating valuable content, while your students focus on learning. " Ultimately, if learners are happy, they drive word-of-mouth recommendations " - Roopesh What makes Roopeshâs courses stand out is their focus on efficiency and clarity. He has gathered years of repetitive, essential knowledge and distilled it into easily digestible videos and resources. Theprereg.com on Forento By identifying a need and leveraging Forentoâs user-friendly platform, Roopesh, and his team have successfully transformed his expertise into a scalable educational resource. The platform acts as a hub, a best friend to newly graduated optometrists during their year of pre-registration. The prereg.com platform offers a total of twelve courses, two exams, five videos, and hundreds of resources as well as coaching sessions. These resources are meant to support students for a whole year and are sold both as individual products and as subscription memberships. Roopesh highlights the practical benefits of Forento: â With my previous course software, I was always under pressure due to high ongoing costs. I was constantly chasing new customers just to cover running costs. â The ease of use and reasonable pricing of Forentoâs Start plan alleviated these concerns, allowing Roopesh to focus on what he does best: creating valuable educational content.

Notably, he served as the Emergency Backup Goalie (EBUG) for the Edmonton Oilers over two seasons, showcasing his talent at the highest level. However, Nathan's journey extends beyond the rink. After hanging up his skates, he devoted himself to coaching, establishing True North Goaltending in Edmonton, Alberta, to empower the next generation of goalies.

Unlike some of the course-building and hosting platforms that have graced these pages, Forento offers the full package. Website, community, and course build and host. The platform is fast and simple to use.
I had no idea what I was doing when I started with this idea of teaching others. I knew what I wanted to teach, but finding a great medium was hard until I found Forento!
Super impressed so far. I have been looking at Kajabi and other platforms for a while to host www.liv-life.co academy. This program is simple; the templates are excellent. The course creator a breeze. It is a very well-thought-through program.
Forento is really easy to use. I mean, my wife and I created 2 courses this weekend. Definitely is one of the best purchases I made in the last years.
Forento makes it super easy to run a membership with online courses. I've been using it for a couple of months now and I'm so glad I found it!
