Description

 


I have so many online course stories for you guys!


 


My book, Zero to Passion, was my first real online DIY program, because I offered several different tiers of learning beyond just the book. (Fun fact: I still sell plenty of them today).


 


But that’s a story for another time…


 


Let’s get to the good stuff!


 


In this episode, I'll share the inside story of how I got paid $7,000 to build my first, truly real and purely online course, from a random idea. Plus I’ll also reveal the big mistake I made almost immediately.


 


The course is called The Networking Masterclass, and I created it for the Revolutionary Club because I knew that networking was a huge key skill related to building a career and finding your passion.


 


What I didn’t know was if my audience also understood that, or if they did, if they would want to spend money for online networking help.


 


If they did, I thought this would be a wonderful way to help serve my community and add a DIY course to my arsenal.


 


But before I poured tons of time into building the course, I wanted to see if I was right that my community would be interested.


 


Turns out I was!


 


But also being right wasn’t enough...


 


Listen to the full episode to hear about:



  • Why it’s worth it to vet your audience’s interest in your course idea before you commit to creating content

  • Why audience interest is not the same thing as a funnel or sales strategy

  • How to reframe a failed launch as good data
