You’re thinking about writing that expert-positioning book (finally).

Have you thought about creating an online course to go with it?

Creating an online course based on your book can be a great way to share your expertise with a wider audience and create additional income streams. Here are some steps you can follow to create an online course based on your book:

Determine your course goals and target audience: Before you start creating your course, it’s important to know what you want to achieve and who you want to reach. Consider what you want your students to learn, and how you can break down your book’s content into manageable lessons.

Choose a course platform: There are many platforms available for hosting online courses, such as Udemy, Teachable, and Thinkific. Research different platforms to find one that fits your needs and budget.

Create your course content: Start by outlining the topics you want to cover in your course, and consider how you can use multimedia elements like videos, audio recordings, and interactive quizzes to engage your students. You can also include supplementary materials like worksheets and exercises to help your students apply what they’ve learned.

Promote your course: Once your course is live, it’s important to let people know about it. Use social media and email marketing to reach potential students, and consider offering a discount or special promotion to encourage people to enroll. You can also reach out to relevant blogs or websites to see if they’d be interested in promoting your course.

Engage with your students: Interacting with your students is an important part of creating a successful online course. Respond to comments and questions, and consider offering office hours or live Q&A sessions to give your students the opportunity to ask for help or get additional support.
