Hey what’s up everybody, this is Karim Amri. Welcome to Coaching Secrets Podcast.

I was in a think tank this week with a group of entrepreneurs, acting in different fields: Catering, Insurance, Early childhood education and Marketing when our group facilitator open our eyes on something, that personally was always in my mind as a coach, but I never considered giving high importance to it, even though I was convinced with its efficiency.

The topic was online recorded courses.

In fact, independently on what area is our expertise, there’s’ always audience who’s interested to learn and get benefit of our courses.

Especially nowadays, with the technology development and the effect of the pandemic, COVID 19, that will start the second year with it, the access to online courses is not optional anymore, in fact many information product providers who were in the market since years, had to finally switch to online programs.

After getting the insight during the think tank, I had a quick view on some of the most known platforms for courses, and I was really surprised, when I found in a platform like Udemy , theses’ courses purchased over 120,000 times, this in not a like button on FB post or subscribe easy button in a Youtube channel, these are paid courses, with hours of learning and thousands of attached documents.

The idea I wanted to share today, is that we are continually learning new skills, new techniques, new methodologies, and while it became known for us, it’s not the same for thousands of others around the world, and for them, we can put our learning in a simple online course, and give them access to it one or more platforms, specialized for that , like Udemy or Mastermind.

This way, we share and add value to people and give them access to affordable programs, that if not received this way they are going to pay thousands of dollars for it.

A key factor to be successful in this action as a coach is to make sure not to fall in the perfection problem. We are not going to make out of these online courses our main stream of income, we’ll share valuable programs, with reasonable fees, to add value and easily cover any expenses previously spend to learn this information. If we’re going to spend hours of our time, looking to record the perfect course, this will affect our work as coach and deviate us from our main line of work.

For sure unless we want to consider online courses as a main stream of business.

Thank you all for listening. This is all for today. Keep growing and bye for now.
