You can use a mini-course to build your email list of prospective students for your main course - or as another revenue generator.
It should cover a very small topic and get a specific result for the student.
I have a tool I recommend that is free for your first 500 students, and creates a mini-course specifically to be taken on your phone. Get the scoop in the Mini-Course Magic workshop
Then you can use ads to get this offer in front of the right people. Zach Spuckler's Facebook and Instagram Ads training is one of my favorites for helping you get started.
