The course creation journey is full of lessons. As we create our courses to teach others the knowledge that we know, we in turn also learn valuable lessons and insights along the way. These lessons and insights are huge, especially for beginner course creators like you who are just starting out. Learning these lessons from someone who’ve made it can help us bypass common mistakes and help us launc...

The age of information that we live in has seen business owners and entrepreneurs from all over the world capitalise on their knowledge in many ways, online courses in particular. We’ve seen people who are experts in their fields turn to course creation to monetise their knowledge and help others learn in the process. In this episode of The Course Creators Circle Podcast , we are joined by three o...

You've created and launched your first course, and now you see the enrolments coming in. However as you're seeing your numbers clearly, you're realising that only a few students are finishing your course, thus your low completion rate. Don't be dismayed as you are not alone in this situation. Self-paced learning, which is most of our online courses, has a normally low completion rate. And even tho...

The different stages of course creation goes through a process. And successful course creators spend time and effort researching and planning their content before they produce it to ensure their courses meet students’ expectations and allow them to learn and get a win from the course. Along these stages, there are a few little gremlins that kick into your thoughts, and they are the feeling of over...

Creating online courses is a great way to get the knowledge out of your head and sharing it to an audience. It is how you can share your expertise with your people, and potential students who might need that knowledge. But what is the best way to take that knowledge out of your head and create it into an online course? Inside the Course Creator Circle resources area, we have a number of tools to h...

When you are on your course creation journey, you come across this question quite often, course or membership? And then it will be quickly followed by which one is better? There is a place for both courses and membership within your offering. As a course creator myself, I think we should be doing both. The reason I think we should be doing both is we're going to create standalone courses. And once...

Creating an online course is a great way to connect with your audience, increase your authority within your niche, and build another stream of passive income. They tend to go deeper than your blog posts but are just as fun to create. Quite often at the start of the course creation journey, we ask ourselves, why teach and create courses in the first place? Being able to teach and create courses is...

When you are creating an online course, details matter and it is things like naming your course that can make all the difference. The content is still the most important part, but coming up with a name that catches the attention of your audience and sells is also a significant decision that you have to make. Now, the name of our course is our headline. It's the thing that says this is what we're g...

Education Marketing is all about educating potential customers on our topics or industries which can then guide their purchasing decisions. It is about the value they get from using our product or service. Specifically, it's about moving leads further to our sales funnel and creating content that focuses on educating them rather than promoting hard selling. So, what is the role of Education Market...

One of the easiest and most impactful ways to get your knowledge out to an audience while making more income is to get that knowledge out of your head and turn it into a lead-generating, money-making, impact-creating online course. As course creators, we want to create a course that is valuable to our students but we also have the tendency to add too much to a course in the name of value. That lea...

In course creation, your lessons are the structure in which you divide and present your learning materials to your audience. I often get asked the question, "What is the best lesson type when it comes to course creation?" The truth is, there is no golden lesson that is the best to teach. There is no one-size-fits-all lesson type that's going to work like magic. When it comes to course creation, th...

Course creation is a great way to connect with your customers, build your authority within your niche, and increase your sources of income for your business. Courses tend to go more in-depth than your blogs, and if you do it right, your clients will keep coming back for more to learn from you. Now that you've finished (or almost finished) creating your online course, it is time to let your people...

It happens to all of us, and not just to teachers either. It happens in all industries. But it hits particularly hard for teachers, those moments of doubt. "Who am I to teach this? Why should I be teaching?" We feel our responsibility to our students is greater than our belief in ourselves. So I want to delve into that. We all need this reminder now and then, you are good enough to teach! In this...

Failed payments are a pain. They stop you from growth, they stop you from moving forward with your next course offerings. The passive income you were aiming for with your courses is suddenly no longer passive because you're actually putting in more work chasing payments. In this podcast, I had a great interview with Stunning founder Richard Felix. We talk about ways you can reduce failed payments....

One of the most common pitfalls in course creation is getting stuck with your course format. In an interview with Karen Hillen, we talk about how your course doesn't have to be a course. Karen Hillen is a HR advisor. Karen and I've known each other for many many years, and I'm excited to say that she's finally teaching online and she's delivering her programs by her Thinkific school, and the Cours...

Ask any teacher worth their salt and they will tell you they embrace every student's learning style instead so the student gets the best experience in their courses. Now when it comes to course creation, online or face to face, that remains true. You need to understand the different learning styles so you can engage every type of student with your courses. Important Big Thing to remember: We know...

As the saying goes, "Those who can't do, teach; and those who can't teach, teach gym." Funny as that may sound, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, teaching is one of the most time-consuming jobs you can take on. Is there a need? Before asking yourself how to market an online course, the first thing you need to establish is whether or not this particular class already has a need. In...

So you want to teach a course but are stuck for ideas on what to teach. In this episode of the Course Creators Circle Podcast, we are going to tackle the topic of "what can teach" as a course creator. Course Creation comes from the knowledge that we have and someone else (hopefully many) want to know about. So when starting on our course creation journey one of the natural questions will be what c...
