Selling the Couch

ENCORE: If I Were Launching An Online Course Soon, I'd Do This...


Listen Later

If you are considering launching an online course, today’s encore is for you!

I’ve learned a lot as a course creator, and I’m sharing an honest look at my biggest lessons learned and what I would tell anyone on this course creation path.

You’ll Learn:

  • 5 things I want to share about launching an online course:
  • Focus on what you already know and love to teach. (Stay within your niche!)
  • Hear my thoughts on course creation and AI.
  • Start small and build slowly. (Think about your “value ladder.”)
  • Think about recurring offers related to your course.
  • Validation is non-negotiable. (Validate your course idea before you proceed.)
  • Download the free Course Creator Starter Kit.
  • Embrace the tech, but don’t let it overwhelm you.
  • Start with “good enough,” and upgrade your sound, lighting, and camera when you can.
  • Hear my recommendations for basic tech for someone just starting out in course creation.
  • Take a “defaulting to action” perspective rather than waiting for perfectionism.
  • Build your audience early.
  • Don’t wait until your course launch to build your email list.
  • Use social media and discovery platforms.
