The Online Course Show

089: START HERE – Online Courses 101

Listen Later
At long last, I’m back with an all-new episode of The Online Course Show! Lately I’ve been seeing some awesome growth in newcomers to the show, which has been really exciting. In fact, some of you have told me that you went all the way back to episode 1 and have been binge listening ever since!

That got me thinking, and I realized that I need a new starting point for those who have only just discovered my podcast. I’ve learned a lot since my first episode, and I’m summarizing it all right here in this new Online Courses 101 episode.

"Have a purpose for why you’re doing this and what you want to create… Push through and do not give up."

-Nate Dodson
