Profit Meets Passion

Last week I compared the pros and cons of 3 types of digital products (you can read that here); an online course being one of them. This week I'm sharing the 18 tools you need to create your own online course. These are the tools and software I personally use in my course-business, so I promise they're all tested and trusted. I'll keep this blog post up to date as my software needs change, and will link to all these tools below. Software You Need to Create & Sell a Course If you'd like to get a full description of why and how you can use each of these tools to create and market your own online course, you can click here to read the full blog post.  Email: Gmail Website: GoDaddy Cloudways WordPress.org Sales Page: Kartra (or) Thrive Architect (or) Elementor Course Marketing Hub: Kartra alternatives to Kartra are listed out in this blog post Admin & file organization: Notion GSuite Productivity: Asana Here's the link to the Asana course I bought (get $100 off with this link!)

What would you be more apt to do in regards to going on a blind date: a 30 minute coffee date,or a 3 week long vacation?Keep in mind, you don't know this person. It's a blind date - you don't know their passions, their career, personality, interests, etc. A coffee date is almost the no-brainer, right? Low commitment. If they're a dud, you're done in 30 minutes.While the 3 week long vaca sounds appealing, would you want to be stuck with a dud for 3 weeks? I don't think so. Creating a digital product is the same way. If you follow the advice of the "experts", you'll likely choose to go on a 3 week long vacation with your digital product. If you follow my advice, aka the PRO method, you'll go on a 30 minute coffee date with your potential digital product, before deciding if it's something you want to commit to more deeply.In this episode I'm teaching you all about the PRO Method, and how to implement it in your business as you start on the process of creating your own digital product.LINKS SHARED:Click here to download Anne Marie's free workbook on how to write sales emails that actually convert (and don't sound salesy!)Click here to get more wellness business tips on Anne Marie's blogSupport the show (https://profitmeetspassion.com) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/profitmeetspassion/message
