a lesson-by-lesson breakdown of the course
Start with Marketing
If you fail to plan then you plan to fail, as the old saying goes. In lesson one, I'm going to discuss why you should always start with marketing to create a course that people actually want to buy. We're going to dive into how to research already sought-after topics based on marketing data to set the stage for a highly successful course.
Structuring Your Course
In lesson two, I'll be covering how to structure a course that people will love (and finish!). We'll cover how to put your ideas down on paper, how to structure a course that supports your students no matter their learning style, and how to help people to gain the best possible results from your course.
Pricing for Profit
In lesson three, we're going to be talking all about money. I'm going to show you the exact structure and strategy that I use to help my clients to structure their revenue model, how to understand typical conversion rates for courses, and how to turn your hobby into a fully-fledged business.
Branding for Thought-Leadership
In lesson four, we're going to dive into how to brand yourself to create a professional-looking course and to become a sought-after thought leader. I'll be covering how to present yourself as an expert that everyone loves and trusts, and even how to turn your course into opportunities for speaking and media.
Recording Your Course
In lesson five, it's all about taking action to record your first course. I'll discuss how to set up your shots, my recommended and affordable gear, and (most importantly) how to not get stuck in the weeds.
Editing Your Course
In this lesson, we'll cover best practices when editing your course to make it easy to remove all of the (unavoidable) bloopers. I'll also outline my top editing tools and resources that are perfect for beginners.
