If you want
to start a good online course, you must to look at the 3 main things.
The more you
prepare before starting the course, the better the results of your efforts will
be.
Let's
discuss this in a little more detail.
First of all 3 things are essential to start an online course. And they have no choice but to do otherwise.
So let's get started.
1) Mark the
course topic correctly.
See, your
online course cannot be dependent on your will. The course should be what your
students want to learn.
You must
have a clear idea of what they want to learn.
In a
nutshell, your potential students will want to know the solution to their
problem from your course.
In other
words, if your students think or know that your course will not solve their
problems, but your course will not be successful.
This is the
biggest reason why the subject and structure of your course must be tailored to
the needs of the students.
To do this,
means to know the needs of your course, you need to do market research over
time.
And you need
to create a suitable course structure that matches your knowledge and needs.
Simply put,
it’s important to identify the right course because that’s the main foundation
of the tasks ahead of you.
There are some specific action steps you can take to begin the process of preparation for mediation.
2) Master
the course video making.
Many people
think of making a course without video. But it is a huge mistake.
See, your
students can learn online courses in three ways -
1) After
e-book,
2) Watch the
video, and
3) Listen to
audiobooks or podcasts.
It is not
difficult to understand that the best of these is learning by watching videos.
All
statistics in e-learning support learning from video.
So the
question are you ready to create course videos?
Yes, you can
hire someone else to make the video, but keep in mind that it can be expensive
the next day.
Because you
have to spend money for each new course or to correct the old ones.
One big
concern here is that even if the course doesn't sell well, the cost for the
video will continue.
And as a
result, the financial benefits of your course will gradually decrease.
That's why I
emphasize on learning to make course videos for students in my coaching, so
that they can make all the videos of their course without any help.
If you have
the skills to make videos (like we do in HobSkills) you will be able to create
almost all of your courses at almost no cost.
It will be a
great relief for you. Because cost control is a huge factor in the success of
online courses.
In short, if
you want to be successful as an online teacher, knowing how to create videos
should be your priority.
3) Learn to
sell courses.
You can sell
courses in a variety of ways.
Honestly,
there are so many ways to sell a course that you may be confused as to which
one is best for you and which one to follow.
There are
two main reasons why online courses can be used to make the right decision.
1) Cost.
2) Control or control.
For example,
you can host your course for free on portals like Udemy, but you will have no
control over sales.
Course
prices may need to be kept low, and remember, your course's landing page will
also show other courses.
This means
that if you spend on advertising your course, incoming traffic can buy another
course, not yours.
On the other
hand, if you want to control your course, you must spend for it.
Suppose you
are hosting your course on your own WordPress website.
You will
need to pay for software running courses like web hosting, video hosting,
membership or LMS.
After all,
not knowing how to run a website can cost you a lot of money.
Fortunately,
there are at least three ways to sell your course online almost free of charge
while maintaining all control.
Not only
that, you can also do advanced marketing, such as upsells, coupons, affiliate
systems, and more.
Now it's
your turn
Remember, a
successful online course does not only have to have good domain knowledge.
Your
knowledge is of no value to students unless you are able to turn your knowledge
into a reliable online course that they want to learn.
To do this
you need to know how to make course modules, and how to make all the video
lessons from it and sell them at the right price.
And all this
must be done with minimal or no cost.
