Or maybe break them apart?   Are there any missing lessons? Are there any lessons that are too long and need to be shortened?  How can you market & sell the course a little differently?    COME VISIT!  Sign up for my email list and get this free course  Is My Course Idea Any Good? here: https://www.coursecreatorshq.com/idea      GoodPods Let’s talk about this episode on GoodPods – https://CourseCreatorsHQ.com/goodpods (mobile only, download the app first) Clubhouse Connect with me on Clubhouse for FREE masterclasses at @JulieHood.Website https://www.CourseCreatorsHQ.comFacebook https://www.facebook.com/CourseCreatorsHQInstagram  https://www.instagram.com/CourseCreatorsHQTwitter https://www.Twitter.com/CourseHQ

Get the scoop here!  https://coursecreatorshq.com/IntensiveViaPodcast   KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR ONLINE COURSE CREATORS    If you have tons of course ideas, here are some questions to ask yourself to help decide which one is best:  Which one has your audience been asking you for the most?  Where have I gotten the best results for the most people? Which one will be easiest to create?  Which one do you already have content for?  Where does this land on the customer journey – is it early so you could have follow on courses? Put into some kind of order – like the prerequisites for college courses.  What are the price points?  How would you teach it – would you create all on your own as a DIY? Or would you do it as a group coaching?  Do you have a unique framework that you use?  Which one will be easiest to sell (so a majority of your audience is interested)?  Which one are you most excited about to teach?  If you don’t know what you would teach about, here are 8 key questions to ask yourself and mull over:  What are your hobbies?  What comes naturally to you?  What do people always ask you about or ask you how to do?  Where and how do you spend your free time – TV shows, magazines, YouTube channels or social media accounts you are obsessed with?  What did you like to do as a child?  What were you good at in school?  What skills did you pick up at your current job? Could they be transferred to a new audience?  What other angles can you take on your job?   COME VISIT!  Sign up for my email list and get this free course  Is My Course Idea Any Good? here: https://www.coursecreatorshq.com/idea      GoodPods Let’s talk about this episode on GoodPods – https://CourseCreatorsHQ.com/goodpods (mobile only, download the app first) Clubhouse Connect with me on Clubhouse for FREE masterclasses at @JulieHood.Website https://www.CourseCreatorsHQ.comFacebook https://www.facebook.com/CourseCreatorsHQInstagram  https://www.instagram.com/CourseCreatorsHQTwitter https://www.Twitter.com/CourseHQ

Plus the Powerpoint presentation and the student workbook are the same file (so I don’t have to keep multiple files in sync). Make sure you have backups each week.   2. Turned off notifications when it’s time to create and focus.  3. Create the demo videos first and then go back to create the workbook and checklists.  4. Create lessons first and then the introduction/getting started lesson for the the whole module.   5. (Advanced tip) Strive for one take lessons! Use Searchie to automatically upload your recordings and create captions.   6. Print pages from the workbook file and select slides for each week's workbook to create handouts.  7. Have generic thumbnails created ahead of time at the module level – Julie used one for each module that went on every lesson in that module (instead of one for every lesson).   8. Reuse email templates - and include links in EVERY email.   9. If you don’t have time to outline the whole course, at least outline the modules.   10. Turn off your phone and notifications when you create and set aside uninterrupted time to create.   11.

But I’m not saying you should be doing all this TODAY or that EVERY 7-figure seller does all of these tasks. There are lots of paths to succcess.   It’s just a list to point yourself in the right direction and choose from!  Part of the fun part of building your business is working through which of these tasks you should do when – which is a BIG part of Course Profits Accelerator. I have a proprietary blueprint where I’ve mapped out the pieces for my students so they know what to do first – and what to do later!  Here are nine things that 7-figure course creators do differently:  They have a big email list.  They have lots of lead magnets.  They have lots of traffic sources.  They have many joint venture partners (even better when those partners have big email lists) and a joint venture manager (or even a full joint venture team). They create evergreen funnels to sell their products.  They spend money on getting leads.  They use upsells and downsells to boost their profits – one client had 17% more revenue!  They really watch their results & numbers - including tracking all the way from signup to sale.  They are constantly trying new things (and OK when they flop!)  What tiny step can you take today to move yourself forward toward seven figures?   COME VISIT!  Sign up for my email list and get this free course  Is My Course Idea Any Good? here: https://www.coursecreatorshq.com/idea      GoodPods Let’s talk about this episode on GoodPods – https://CourseCreatorsHQ.com/goodpods (mobile only, download the app first) Clubhouse Connect with me on Clubhouse for FREE masterclasses at @JulieHood.Website https://www.CourseCreatorsHQ.comFacebook https://www.facebook.com/CourseCreatorsHQInstagram  https://www.instagram.com/CourseCreatorsHQTwitter https://www.Twitter.com/CourseHQ
