The Online Course Show

141: Week 4 & 5 of 5- Running an Online Course Business from the Road


Listen Later

I’m back with another on-the-road episode of The Online Course Show, this time coming to you all the way from Sedona, Arizona! Like the last several weeks, I’m recording this episode on my phone and keep things pretty simple since I’m traveling with my family.

 

Soon I’ll be back to my normal setup in my home office and my normal interview format along with co-host Dr. David Krohse. But right now I want to share with you some content from my “Simple Path to Online Course Success” webinar. I’m sharing this for two reasons: because the content itself is very valuable and because it’s the best way for you to understand the structure and flow of how my evergreen webinars work.

" I had no idea what I was doing when I got started and I was not an overnight success story… but eventually I figured it out and got results that were better and better. January 2017 brought in $22,000 in revenue and I have not gone below that in a single month since then."

- Jacques Hopkins
