Creating and selling an online course can be an excellent way to share your knowledge, make money, and help others achieve their goals. 

However, it can be overwhelming to know where to start, especially if you’re low on funds. 

In this article, I’ll walk you through the process of creating and selling an online course for free, using a three-step framework.

Let’s dive in!

Step 1: Find Your Course Idea

The first step in creating and selling an online course is to find your course idea.

To do this, have conversations with your audience, and get clear on where they are, where they want to be, and what’s getting in ...

How often do you find yourself looking at your content after you post to see if anyone liked or commented?

Constantly?

Metrics like Likes, Shares, and Comments are what are known as Vanity Metrics.

Sure, they make us feel good. But are they actually making us money in our businesses??

If we want to actually make money with our online businesses, there are only 3 key metrics that drive real revenue.

By paying attention to these 3 things, you'll be able to quickly assess the health of your business and know exactly what to focus on and when.

In today’s digital age, content creation has become an important part of building your personal brand or business. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to decide which platform to focus on.

In this article, we will explore the pros and cons of three popular platforms: podcasts, blogs, and YouTube channels. We will also discuss how you can repurpose your content to get the most out of each platform.

Podcasts

Pros:

One of the biggest advantages of podcasts is that they have a highly engaged audience. People who listen to podcasts are often willing to listen to the entire episode, which can be 30 minutes or longer. 

Additionally, podcasting is one of the easiest and cheapest forms of content creation. All you need is...

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the Kajabi Headquarters in Irvine, California. As a content creator and business owner, I was excited to learn more about the platform and the company behind it. During my visit, I gained three key takeaways that I believe can be valuable to anyone in the online business space.

Takeaway #1 - Repurposing Content With AI

One conversation in the event that stood out to me was when we talked about repurposing content with AI. Different audiences have different learning styles which is why we, as creators, should be giving them different ways to consume our content.

If you have a podcast for example, consider getting a camera and hitting record so you can upload it to YouTube. If you don't want to ...

Are you interested in creating an online course but feel overwhelmed by the idea of creating a lengthy and expensive course? If so, a mini course might be the perfect solution for you.

Mini Course vs Online Course

A mini course is typically 5-7 videos long and solves a single specific problem that your audience wants solved. The better you understand your audience's frustrations, hopes, dreams, challenges, and objections, the easier this will be.

As a great starting point, I’d recommend pricing your mini co...

If you’re running an online business, the primary goal of your website & social channels should be to capture email subscribers.

The saying “the money is in the list” is one of the most important online business rules and it still applies today.

Problem is, so many people shoot themselves in the foot by putting a TEENY TINY box hidden in the bottom corner of their website that (of all things) says “Join our newsletter”.

As a consumer, I want you to solve my problems, not “update me”!

Here’s what to do instead.

Give people a good reason to subscribe that benefits THEM - make it a no-brainer for them.

That’s what today is about.

Today's piece of content is going to be more of a transparency post than anything.

I was hesitant to post this, but I knew it would be valuable for you, so I did it anyway.

My job isn't to make myself (or you) comfortable. It's to help you build an online business that you love and that helps a ton of other people.

I'm going to show you that you don't need to be a "world renowned expert" to start helping people and to build your online business.

What matters more than anything is that you just start, are consistent, and are willing to adapt and learn along the way.

There’s nothing worse than putting a ton of time into building an online course, publishing it, and seeing zero sales - trust me, I know from experience.

I built 6 online courses before I was able to make one that sold itself on autopilot. During that time, I learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t.

Today, I’m sharing with you 6 reasons your online course most likely isn't selling along with how to fix each one of them.

Let’s dive in!

Reason #1: You Don’t Understand Your Customer Well Enough

This is probably the biggest reason out of all 6. In order to sell products, we need to clearly understand who we serve and how we serve them.

The better you understand your audience, the more sales you will make becau...
