How To Go About Making An Online Course

[Ryan M]

I've had the idea of making an online course for the longest time but it feels so intimidating that I don't even start. I already have an audience and I already know what to say in the course. I think the reason that I hesitate is because I worry about how I'm going to create the landing page and what platform I'm going to use for the course etc. Also making the course sounds a bit overwhelming even though I know all the information that I want to share. What are some good resources that could help me actually get this done? Also there's platforms like Skool and I'm wondering if I should just take that route

The landing page and the platform should be the easiest to handle. No need to overthink it. 

 

Regarding the course, it shall lead the customer to a very specific, tangible result. 

 

The communication of how that result will solve your clients problem and free them from their pain is the marketing. 

 

If you really know what you wanna say already, why not just shoot the videos and take it from there? Otherwise you're thinking more than you are doing. The key is to take action.

Good point. I’ll start with the content and handle everything else after

Landing page - depends on whether you need a personalised link (e.g. Ryanscourse.com) or you're okay with random link (e.g. btt.2689bgeidb.com) 

The first one will cost you and you'll need to pay either for a website (Wix, Squarespace,) or even use one of the mass mailing services like MailChimp or Mailerlite where you can customise a simple landing page.

I'd suggest if you want to come across as a professional (depends on your market tho) having a proper website with a proper email such as info@yourcompanyname.com rather than ryan1998@gmail.com

In terms of course, there are options like Udemy which you'll probably have to pay some money for publishing. It's often one off or monthly.

The next step is advertising your course but I assume you have social media covered already.

So it's really about how far you want to take it. How professional, If you wanna start building a brand or just sell something quick on social... either is an option.
