I created my first online course about three years ago, and... NOBODY bought it. I was confused, wondered what I had done wrong, and also wondered if maybe this whole "make money online" thing was even real.
In today's video, I'm sharing 6 important things that I WISH I had known before I started trying to make money with online courses, because I know I would have been able to be way more successful way faster if I'd had this information!

I’m about to launch my first online course .. interior design for each room in your home .. so instead of spending 1000$ on a course that covers everything.. I’ve broken it down to each room .. so we start at planning the room.. budgets .. styles .. mood boards .. so you’ll have all the tools you’ll need to create the home you’ve always wanted ..

Thanks so much for sharing this information in such a grounded and practical way! I am currently creating my first online course cirricullum (the part that is SO in my realm of expertise) but feeling like I'm wading through a sea of unfamiliar territory when it comes to HOW to film, edit, host, and sell my course. I'm working on slowing building an audience and slowly learning the ropes of the industry. I am a midwife and my course revolves around supporting people to navigate the world of maternity care with straightforward and respectful information about how the system works as well as supporting families to advocate for their needs and tune into intuition as well as intellect. I'm considering breaking the modules into individual courses to make them more affordable and accessible as well as making it a comprehensive course!

Very helpful Gillian! My biggest struggle at the moment is growing the audience. I had this idea dawned on me 2 weeks ago to help architecture students / new designers learn a software that most professional architects use today. I remember the struggle of learning this program during school and spending countless hours searching on youtube. My ambition is to have packages of in depth videos of what helped me that I know will help these students - basically bridging that gap for them and save them time. I graduated with a Bach of Architecture and have been practicing professionally for 3 years since. I very advanced in the software and can help teach the most efficient ways to use it while in school especially. I've created an instagram and tiktok with little snippets of mini tutorials of what i would be posting, but not much traction since. (even though its only been 2 weeks). I know there is a market for it, even looking at comments on KZfaq from other little tutorials on the software. I just don't know where to launch or if i want to use a platform. Sorry for all the deets :)

So, I've thought about setting up an online course for a while now on crochet and learning crochet. Branching from beginning to advanced. The issue is it's really hard to research the need or desire for it since so much is available on youtube, hence my own use of youtube now. I'd love to see more in depth videos on HOW to research the start of a course, HOW to set up the course, What to think about when setting up a course (like private groups, one on one's, etc.) and how to best market. I typically find very generic videos and nothing really in depth. Just the "you should do this," but never a, "Let me show you one way you can find out if this will work for you."

Suggestion for both courses and KZfaq videos: Bear in mind that some people like constant background music under narration (especially if it's in a style they like) and others absolutely hate it. My guess is that it will usually drive away more potential audience than it attracts, especially if it's loud or otherwise very noticeable. So you might want to limit its use or at least keep it subtle. On the other hand, background music is excellent when there is no speech, for example accompanying travel scenery or a montage of someone doing something without narration or dialog. In any event, it ought to be a thoughtful decision.

I always prefer no music at all, and if it’s too loud I will give up watching, but I think it can be used subtly to drown out background noise if your recording equipment poor sound quality - that I can accept because I’ve been there! I think music’s fine with humor to emphasize illustrations too. Just not a fan of music and talking at the same time. Is anyone? I see it a lot, even in high end productions, and I always wonder why.

How to research to develop your course and how long it should be. And I know some of these things will vary like length but I just haven’t seen any videos in the last two or three weeks on how to put one of these online courses together. How to write a syllabus. How to create lesson plans. I just don’t know because I’ve never done this before. So if anyone has any tips please send them my way. Thank you in advance

I’ve been on KZfaq for years and I’ve built up a fan base and I’ve already given valuable content but I don’t know if I can make a profitable yet affordable course. Thanks for this video.

Hello!! I just wanted to share with you about my experience: I only started blogging last year. I created my website on May 2018, and on August 2018 I launched my first product which of course did not make many sales, but little by little I built an email list and created new products, so I think you can launch products whenever you feel ready! If you have an audience, they may want to purchase from you. Apart from it, you said you werent sure about your audience having the money to afford a course, and I thought the same as you...but recently I've had customers who are just starting University and that shows me that everyone can pay, not just adults. I hope this was useful to you. I wish you the best ☺

As a person in the education business, I think your advice is precise and valuable to those interested in offering an online course. However, the best online course is a live virtual course; so that your students can ask questions and engage with the instructor. Online courses are all about connecting with your audience. People want to be convenient that you truly care about their life journey.

Thanks for your information on what to expect with online courses. I too am venturing into the space except my ideas a little bit different. Maybe you can label it for me. i'm writing a book about how to quit drinking alcohol. It's called the key system that I have invented. used with other people, but haven't formally packaged it into a course. I have written the book. but I want to turn it into an online course. Really a cross between a course a coaching service and training I don't know maybe you could shed some light on what category you would call this. But I want to have one on one telehealth services especially during the first week of not drinking, which can be difficult with withdraws and stuff then have a once a week check in for about three months. I haven't figured this out as far as the amount of one-on-one time I want to spend and the price points I'm basically going to have three levels one basic course where I'm not doing any one on one and then two levels of one on one guidance and help what are your thoughts?

I recommend some of your videos to my KZfaq startup coaching students! I work with spiritual folks, coaches and healers and KZfaq is often a brand new world for them (as a creator!.)

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It's tough when all you hear all the crazy success stories with a bunch of money. I don't want to have unrealistic expectations. I also feel like niche can influence pricing of your course too. I see all these big price tags out there but I just don't feel like people will pay a premium price for a sewing (my niche) course when it's likely a hobby for them and not going to deliver a financial return.

Try creating a PDF to sell on Etsy. I see a lot of sewing guides doing really well there.

im currently working on an online course for mixing music at home. the biggest thing ive learned so far is to give more away than you're trying to sell. don't use your product to promote your KZfaq. use KZfaq to promote your product. give away content, ebooks, short lessons, etc. be generous with that stuff. and then you're in a position to build value into a paid/premium product you have.

I'm planning on putting together a couple of courses on entrepreneurship and customer service tailored to my country (Ghana) I don't have much of a following yet. But the demographic here is quite different from the U.S. and the UK so I have a lot of foundation work to do until then. I'm hoping to have my first course out before Christmas. We'll see 😊 Thank you for the videos. 🙏

Excellent content. Ive done many seminars and my goal in the last couple of years is to take what Im doing well offline to a wider online market place. I already have a big mail list, so its just a few steps left to complete using an online learning center, such as Learndash. Thanks again for your tips.
