I have actually spend thousands of euros on courses how to create online courses. This is better. More relatable, better at addressing my questions and most of all: simple, not overcomplicated. And its even free! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart

OMG.. You have hit a "Home Run" with all these videos.. I'm going to call you "Professor Shane"! Outstanding video that has my brain going in all directions, but you have given me the clear path to take as I begin this journey of building an online course. Love the idea of chunking down into three priorities to focus on rather than dumping every bit of knowledge into the course!

So far one of best videos on developing an online course, not just with content but also your delivery style was good example.

This video is like what an asthma puffer must feel like to an asthmatic

Thank you so much Shane .. this series of videos were PURE GOLD as usual :)

Your authenticity is refreshing and compelling. Your information is clear, concise and on point. That you are sharing what you know in the way that you are makes me want to thank you and wish you every success. So, Thank You. I wish you every success!

Excellent info! Straightforward without too much overload. Thanks!

Great video Shane!!, as usual, very clear, straight to the point and full of knowledgable intent...Cheers!

You rock! I totally love your info. Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Impressive, high quality and clear. Glad I stumbled upon these videos

Very informative and precise. Keep up the good work.

Simply, outstanding information! Thank you!

These videos are so excellent. Thank you for sharing all that you know so that we can get better and learn.

Thanks so much for these videos. Very helpful!

Excellent video, very helpful! I just stumbled upon your channel and it's a gold mine! All the points are relevant, the most relevant is a) sculpting the course instead of dumping all the info and b) teaching the course like you are explaining this concept to somebody you know. I have created one course but dreading making the next one because of the 'curse of knowledge'. Thank you for this video, it was mindblowing and life changing.

Thank you Shane, your tips and strategy are amazing, and I really liked your videos/teaching style :)

Thanks Shane! Brilliant again!

These were very precious advises. Thank you!

perfect video!! WOW just outstanding thank you .

Super incredible info. Shane you are teaching us how to break above everyone when it comes to Solopreneurship. The imposter syndrome and about editing out are my key takeaways! Going to watch this every morning, the link is on calendar.

Thank you for outlining some of the barriers in creating an online course. This is truly impactful and changing the mindset of course creators. Question, what tool is being used for your illustration/images on your video?

So much value. Thnk you so much.

A great video in not only how to defeat creator block, but as an example in itself as to how to properly present instructions.

Thank you, Shane. You are pure GOLD. Do keep creating! I am a Thrive Theme member and am getting a tonne of value out of it.

Really very helpful!!

Bomb Shane! Just bomb! Thank you for the tips! 😁

Thanks Shane, awesome tips.

Very precious advises

Great video Shane!!!

Hey Shane. Great content again, thanks. So, after watching some of your videos, let me try to piece this knowledge together. We first come up w/ a course that we believe is valuable enough to justify a $200 product. Then we tell our audience we're thinking about making that course, and asking who's interested in joining a limited seat pilot class (scarcity, check). Those will have one on one attention out of us, as we deliver the content live (awesome bonus there). As a pilot class, they'll also get a 50% discount (usd 99) if they sign up till X date (time sensitive, check). Then, after we deliver that first course, we get testimonials and build the 2nd version of the course, fully recorded, for the full $199. We can even upsell a live coaching add on here for example. That 2nd version (recorded), validated and w/ testimonials, is the one we'll point ads to. Is that far off? Thanks again for the guidance. Cheers!

I’m so impressed by your Mindset Shane. I know that you’ve probably read a bunch of Human/web psychology litteratures - but this is just great! Glad i found you after subbing to thrivethemes

Shane, good content, thank you. O have a question, which video editing tool do you usr that allows you to add text snd other items to the video at the appropriate time?

Great stuff. Thanks Shane :)

Hahahaha so True, I have all of those points 😅. Thanks for the eye opening. No more limits (excuses). 💪

Great content.

WOW This is so true.

Dude, Shane, thank you! This series has inspired me to take action man. I'm launching an eBook (workout program) next week but I want to immediately start creating an online course version of that, and that would be my upsell once I finish. One question...do you plan to do a video on how you market your course? I know you said through email but I'd also like to know what you did to build your list. Blogging and KZfaq are great sources, but that's a slow build. Do you run ads? FB, Google? Thank you for the awesome content!

Ok, So my biggest take away was the "Become a Course Sculptor" thank you for all the wonderful tips and it is really helpful.

What about you don’t have that many email addresses to begin with ? Thanks for a helpful video :)🙏🏼

You Are amazing 👍where have you been all my life thank you👏 I subscribe I will be on thank you for your knowledge

Remember how valuable is your accumulated knowledge, skills and wisdom. And how valuable is your ability to interaction ability. Reduce the course down to top three priorities. Then learn what your customer needs to know to get that outcome. From your direct interaction with clients you know what they need to know.

Top 3 Outcomes are key for training.

Yes I like the big 3 strategy

Hi Shane! thank you for the great content you're producing. can i know when the visual Wordpress theme builder will be released and if it will be compatible with the woocommerce plugin

Super great helpful info! I feel like I need to know more about list Building and all the process involved. How many do I need to test an idea. Do I need to get the 2500 people on list before launch ect. This topic is always glossed over and yet.. No customers no business. I want, no need, to launch a successful digital product and I can not spend thousands on paid advertising. So organic traffic and list Building is key I think. Yet, exactly what that work looks like I'm not clear. Also, how long is a list good for? If it builds to slowly is it simply a matter of kicking out value via regular emails to keep the list warm? Thank you for these videos

Yes! I've heard on a podcast somebody saying "If you don't have impostor syndrome at all, then you must be a narcissist." The only thing is to remember WHY we do what we do. I also keep a page where I collect testimonials. In case of impostor syndrome crisis it is a must :-)

Great video

Hi shane, are free webinars targeting new customer considered "Customer development" ?

Shane, Great video again! So I have been teaching in my industry (Live sessions and conferences with a lot of travel). I recently started a course for one of my live classes, and I have had relative success so far. I was updating my speaker page and realized that I might want to just go all online for my classes so I can give the students more time to actually get results during a 4 week online class structure instead of cramming a bunch of material into 1 8 hour day that gets them excited but is difficult for them to act on. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the business model of all online courses vs. membership site vs. Live in person courses?

Congrats! Awesome video. Main lesson: "just do it". And if I may suggest something I think it's time to Thrive Themes to create the free course: "How to create and sell a course with Thrive Apprentice in 1 month? " Outcome: sell a course Prereq: Thrive Themes free trial for 30 days in order to implement and launch a course. After that people will need to buy Thive Themes in order to keep using Thive Apprentice (and keep selling their course...) #1 Priority: define the course - define the subject (main topic) of the course - define the outcome of the course - define the topic modules and lessons of the course - validate the idea - refine and iterate #2 Priority: create the course - create a Vimeo account - record videos for each lesson and upload them to Vimeo - buy a domain and hosting (SEO friendly hosting) - install and configure WordPress - install Thrive Themes and Thrive Apprentice (30 days free trial. Clock is running now.) - create a nice and simple website - create the modules of the course in Thrive Apprentice - create each lesson in Thrive Apprentice - refine some details and design of the pages in Thrive Apprentice - test your course (friends or prospects can help) #3 Priority: launch the course - install and configure SendOwl - install and configure ActiveCampaign account and lists - write some articles on your website about the main topic related to the course outcome - promote the articles on Social Media (Inbound Marketing 101 bonus lessons) - follow a product launch strategy similar to kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bb16adloq5-xd5s.html in order to launch the course - define the metrics for the business and for the Ads (ROI, CPL, etc) - promote Ads on Social Media (Facebook Ads 101 bonus lessons) - analyze the metrics results (lessons learned) Well... those are only my thoughts... Probably something is missing. And maybe Thrive Themes does not want to create something like that. Maybe the outcome "sell a course" is too big as long as it depends on the market, depends on the seller/teacher skills and so on. And maybe 1 month is too little... but one thing is important: you will only start your 30-days free trial after having structured the course and recorded the videos. So the main content you'll have it. And you can watch the whole course and only start your trial when you think you are ready. But thank you Shane and staff! Keep the good work!

Course conclusion topics 1. How to develop the content. 2. How to validate your content idea. 3. How to put together the course material. 4. Hot to price your course. 5. How to launch a course on a tight budget. Are there additional videos that cover these topics as I am struggling to find and match the info on this video to the course conclusion topics. thx.

I wonder how this presentation is made - with this wordblocks coming in from above, the roll down curtain with words appearing letter by letter/word by word. Any idea which software needed???

Do you make website

The video is great but on one thing I have a different perspective. When you overwhelm a little bit your customers you can sell easier a high ticket item. This strategy is good because the overwhelming state correlates with their psychology.

Hi Shane - at the $200 or so price point you suggest, what is the typical % of customers who request a refund under the guarantee period? Assuming you would be including a 30 day guarantee. Sorry if I missed this somewhere else. Also one other thing I was hoping you would share - for this price point, let’s say even up to $500, do you think a webinar would be the most effective from a conversion rate perspective? I know many people suggest webinars for $500-$2,500 price ranges but I figure...wouldn’t it just increase the overall conversion rate in the the $200-$500 range? Thank you for all you do!

The best

I want to launch with six modules at a higher price, which will be around $497. My funnel will be a cheaper $20 webinar. The highest ticket will involve a group or personal session at $997. What do you think? Where is the research for the $200 price point. I missed that video.

It has been almost a year we have not heard any news about the new Visual Theme Builder. It seems company is going different direction. No new themes , no updates given to your current clients. we do not want to create new web sites based on Thrive Architect if you guys going to different directions (more seems like a lot of time you focus on Course Building software and not investing any time on ThriveArchitect (or VisualBuilder) Please let us know.

This is literally a reproduced version of the video that was published back in 2019. Nothing new found here.😞

Can I ask you a question can I send you my email address

Before this video I was extremely overwhelmed. Now I am calm
