Not Sure How To Develop An Online Course? Keep It Super Simple
With the demand for eLearning booming discover how to develop an online course by keeping the process super simple.
Hi Trish Davies, here and I have spoken at length about the power of creating your own online training course. There has been a seismic shift in regard to how people are learning new skills. They are turning to the internet in their droves especially during this time of uncertainty due to the pandemic.
Millions of people have been forced to acquire new skill sets in the search for employment. Their old jobs have either disappeared or they are having to adapt their working practices. They have no choice if they want to create a future for themselves once the world come back to some kind of normality.
I realise that the world is a crazy place at the moment, and nobody knows when all this craziness will stop. It will eventually and I think that everybody must adopt this mindset to enable the world to move forward.
Disasters happen from time to time whether they are natural, or manmade and there will be more in the future. That’s not to sound all doom and gloom as it is just a fact of life.
When disasters happen on this scale, similar to 2008 with the world financial crisis, opportunity comes. For you to have found your way to my website you must have an interest in creating an online business. I started this post saying that the eLearning space is booming. This is your opportunity to turn 2020 from a disaster to a roaring success economically.
How To Develop An Online Course By Keeping It Simple
So, let me ask you this, have you ever thought about teaching people what you know?
Whether the answer is yes or no the opportunity is there for you to leverage your knowledge and expertise. There are people waiting for you to solve their problems, but you must identify which problems you can solve.
This means looking at what you are good at and have achieved success within your life. What problems have you encountered in your life? How have you overcome them? What are your natural talents and gifts?
These are questions you must ask yourself. The answers you come up with will form the foundations of a solution that you can offer to people experiencing those same problems.
This process may take some time to complete but when you do you will have a lot of data to sift through. While sifting through this data you will unearth some golden nuggets which will reveal a vein of gold.
You will have tangible ideas that can be developed to form an online course that can help other people. There is a formula that people can use to make an impact on other people. That formula is learning, taking action, and then teaching.
Look at what you have learnt in your life and the things that you have implemented to create success. This is what you can teach other people and monetize. Yes, you can make money from the knowledge and value you have inside.
Once you have the pieces of this formula in place it is about creating an online course to sell. Now you may be wondering how to develop an online course. That’s only natural so let’s look at this in the next section.
Build Your Plane While Flying It
Right now, you have some ideas so let’s look at piecing things together one step at a time. That is a very important point to remember which was highlighted in my latest Build Your AU weekly mastermind, more on that in a moment.
One of my members raised this very important point. He said that you should focus on getting your potential leads and customers to the next rung of the ladder. They may have a goal or destination that they want to reach but you can’t go from start to finish.
There will be a step by step process in between those two points. He mentioned that online business owners think that they have to overdeliver on value right from the word go.
Don’t provide the whole cake with the icing and cheery on the top at the starting point. The reason is the customer won’t be able to consume everything starting out. They have to master the first step before they can move onto the next, and so on.
Your training package will, when completed, have various products and services. Each one will be designed to compliment each other and work together to provide the best outcome for your customers.
You may have eBooks, video courses, audio courses, worksheets, tools, resources, and software. Look at the journey you want to take your customers on and define the starting point. That starting point will in all probability leverage one of the formats I have just mentioned.
This is the product you create first and it is the entry level to your package. Then you build the next one, then the next which is why I say build your plane while you are flying it.
Prevent Stagnation & Procrastination
If you follow this methodology, then you will prevent stagnation and procrastination. I have seen many online business owners who think that they must have everything in place, and it must be perfect.
This is not the way to build your online training course because you will get overwhelmed. That leads to procrastination where you keep putting things off until you then stall and come to a standstill.
Nothing gets done and you lose your opportunity.
Build Your Online Course Using The Build Your AU Process
I mentioned earlier my Build Your AU training program which is a testament to what I have shared with you. It has been a goal of mine for some time to help entrepreneurs create their own personal brand and online training package.
The Build Your AU process helps create authenticity for the business owner. It then establishes their authority within their industry and finally it helps them build their audience.
Each week I meet with my members to put the next piece in their puzzle. They take action on what they learn, and their authority business model starts to come together. This authority business model forms the pillars for their online training course.
This all stems from collaboration and it is amazing to see the evolution of the ideas they first had for their business. The process then finalises with sharing marketing strategies that we all can take to our individual marketplaces. The goal is obviously to make sales and put revenue in the bank.
So, I have been putting my Build Your AU training program together from the cockpit of my own plane. I had a vision on how I wanted it to take shape and that vision has been surpassed.
The mastermind experiences have not only benefited my members, they have benefited me. The mastermind sessions have formed the core training program for new entrepreneurs to go through.
Then if they wish they can join the live masterminds and have the opportunity to work one on one with myself. My business model, training programs have been born from the same process I take my members through and this can work for you.
