166: How to Make Your Online Course Sell


Listen Later

Think you need to be a guru to sell an online course? Not true!

Dan Henry explains why focusing on solving problems, and not teaching topics, is the real key to making your course sell.

You don't need to be a world-class expert to create an online course people will pay for. Dan shows us how to stop obsessing over "topics" and instead focus on solving real problems … the kind that people will gladly spend money to fix.

From doing a simple "brain dump" on your phone and running it through AI to uncover profitable course ideas, to understanding why solving an "insomnia" or even "bleeding neck" problem is far more valuable than teaching just another skill, Dan breaks it all down with clarity and candor.

He also shares how his $37 mini-course turned into $150,000 in sales, and why shifting from "information" to "problem-solving" can completely change the way you approach creating your own course.

Do you like what you're hearing? Consider giving it a caffeinated thumbs up. We'd really appreciate it!
