Steve Ballinger, MBA
A VIP Udemy Instructor Partner who has helped more than 1 million learners in 220+ countries build practical skills for work.
My focus is helping professionals use ChatGPT and AI with more confidence, clarity, and practical purpose. I’m also in the top 3% of ChatGPT users worldwide (According to OpenAI) which means I spend a lot of hands-on time testing what actually works in real use and not just chasing the latest AI hype.
Many people know AI is important, but they feel overwhelmed by the constant updates, confusing features, and pressure to keep up. They wonder: What should I actually use AI for? Am I prompting it correctly? How do I avoid generic answers? What is safe to put into AI? How do I avoid losing my own judgment?
That is where I can help.
My style is friendly, practical, and engaging. I like to make complex topics feel simple, useful, and even fun. Instead of flooding you with theory or buzzwords, I focus on real workplace problems turning scattered thoughts into useful next steps.
My courses are designed to be clear, practical, and easy to apply. Instead of overwhelming you with theory or technical jargon, I focus on examples, prompts, workflows, and step-by-step demonstrations you can actually use.

I am new to dividend investing and this course is great for beginners like me. The material & presentation are easy to understand. The course has given me the basic definitions of how dividend stocks work and what criteria to look for when choosing a company to invest in. Thank you!
By Adei Alamouri on 1/30/2024
While the course offered valuable insights, I was disappointed by the lack of practical examples. The instructor shared useful opinions, but I expected more real-life scenarios to better understand the application of tools, resources, and ratios. If you're seeking hands-on examples, you might need to complement this course with additional resources.

What a amazing Investing course. I have done other Udemy investment courses before in 2022, but this one, I fee that I am well equipped to start this journey. There are a lot to take in from this course. There are a lot of real examples that cement the idea and bring clarity. Thank you so much for this great course.
By Luis J Casillas Ortiz on 8/12/2022
Great Course. I took it sooner than I should have, because I didn´t know a thing about investment. Even so, Ballinger explains everything in an easy to understand way and I highly recommend the course. I will be looking forward to taking more courses from him like the beginners course and the investing in stocks The Complete guide. Very good.

One of the few Dividend Stocks courses on Udemy Business. A lot of useful info and ideas focused on Dividend Stocks. Here are some nice to have to add: -a dividend calendar -more info about the yield concept: present/future referring -attach all the materials used on the course such as URLs

Truly excellent course!! Very happy with the instructor's experience and knowledge and helping to learn all about dividends! I tried other courses on Udemy about the subject from other instructors but they are new themselves, however this course by Steve Ballinger, is just what I was looking for. Very pleased and highly recommend.

Before choosing this particular course to learn about dividends I read reviews about it, which were mostly favorable. Having finished it I am glad to confirm that this course is indeed as good as most reviewers have already stated. I was absolutely clueless in investing before but the lessons were well explained and concise even for a beginner like me. The presentations were very helpful and I actually feel confident to start my first steps in investing in dividends. So grateful to have found this course and a big thank you to Mr. Ballinger for sharing his knowledge.
By Michael Majaess on 3/14/2020
Steve is obviously passionate about what he teaches and this course proved very insightful for a beginner investor such as myself. However, the course description may be outdated as there was no "Hours and hours of video based lessons" - to me this implies more than 4 hours - and no "Quizzes that will test and confirm your knowledge". Nonetheless, easy to follow and informative course.
By Lashea Secret on 1/22/2020
I have been looking for a good dividend investing course. For the purpose of broadening my knowledge on the subject. In order to become a better investor. I firmly believe that knowledge is the key to my success. The course is meeting my expectations and I understand certain concepts that I had previously learned better now. I am learning new things as well. It is a good course overall.
By Cameron Faniel on 1/12/2020
As a complete beginner to investing with dividends, I gave this course 5 stars because it helped me understand what I needed to know to develop the courage to start investing. I am someone who has little or no real effective experience in financial literacy, so this course, in my opinion, is a must if you want to understand more about the ins and outs of dividends. It has led me to start and be able to monitor my own dividend portfolio which I hope to continue growing now for the long term. I believe the course layout was superb and the instructor delivered the speeches for me with clarity; I was able to understand his course very well. Thanks, Steve, and may those dividends keep on growing! I wanted to come back and give an update: It is 3/7/20 today. I am a complete beginner when it comes to knowing much about the stock market. Because of your class, I was able to knock some things off of my bucket list. I finally learned how to save and introduce myself to the stock market in a logical way. I was paid my first dividend on 3/16/20. Your class works, and I felt that it was well structured and organized. As easy it may be for some, I never thought I would get this far with finance. I came back to keep my memory fresh with hopes to continue my growth. I am glad I can share this course with others now, for it has literally put money into my pocket. I would love to share screenshots, etc, but I do not think you can on here. So I hope you guys trust my review, for some of you super beginners out there, keep pushing, and thanks again, Steve!
