#202: Online Course Creation Launch Success: Revenue vs. Profit
What is your business making?
Should you be measuring your revenue or your profit when launching the online course you painstakingly created?
A lot of times you’ll see people talking about how they had a 5 figure launch or a 6 figure launch, but that doesn’t tell the whole story.
It’s frustrating because when someone lists a number, you don’t know if they are talking about revenue or profit. And as we look for role models, strategies, and ideas to emulate in our own course launches, how do you know what to pay attention to and what to ignore?
You could end up choosing a strategy that has you losing money if you aren’t careful.
Today I’m going to share with you how to think about the numbers you see being reported on social media, in podcasts, on YouTube so that you can make decisions for your business and digital course that will lead to more profit, more reliably.
#201: Digital Course Creation Toughness (Mental Toughness)
Course creation is a marathon not a sprint. Course creation is a long game.
We can apply any number of inspirational quotes or mantras to our digital course creation business, but that isn’t going to keep you warm at night.
The reality is that knowing course creation and the subsequent success will take time doesn’t protect us from the challenges that will pop up, the exhaustion and frustration that inevitably send us for the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream section at the store, or the bank account that doesn’t seem to have enough to cover our business expenses.
So what do we do to get through these times when we are busily working without seeing tangible proof of our progress? We have to develop a mindset that is realistic, rooted in the truth, and ultimately helps us to stay focused and taking the process step by step.
#199: The Easiest Way to Record your Online Course Videos (Maximum Impact)
You have carefully planned out your digital course. You’ve mapped out the modules, the outcomes, the examples, and the resources. Which leaves you with the actual recording of your online course.
All too often this is where the dramatic music that you hear in horror films starts to play because course creators want their course to have an impact. But it feels impossible to know what to do when hitting record.
You can choose to stress over the best way to record your course, or re-record your course OR you can follow the three steps that I’m going to share with you today so that you can just get those recordings done and out where your students can learn from your wisdom.
#198: Creating a Digital Course that Engages: Regardless of Attention Span
Today’s topic is a little controversial and completely practical all in one nice serving.
So what makes today’s topic practical? We all want our students and clients to finish the digital course that we have painstakingly created, assembled, and sold. We want them to succeed and eventually become a case study for our business in addition to experiencing the change that we promised. In order to do that we have to make sure our course is engaging. We are going to cover three ways to make your course more engaging.
This doesn’t sound controversial, except it is, as I found out in a live stream training I provided this week. I made the comment that attention spans aren’t necessarily shrinking so we do not need to be worried about that when creating our courses. And one listener said that we would need to agree to disagree on that. So down the bunny trail I went into the research and that is where the controversy comes in.
We are going to talk about not just 3 ways to improve student engagement, but also how that completion rate might be impacted by attention span, or not.
#197: What makes sense? One-to-One Coaching vs. Group Program vs. Digital Course
What makes the most sense for your business?
Building a One-to-One Coaching Offer, a Group Program, or a Digital Course?
This is probably something that you’ve been wondering and have seen suggestions telling you why each one of these is THE way to go.
But which one makes the most sense for you? After all, our businesses are not a one size fits all concept.
#194: What comes first: Lead Magnet or Digital Course?
What comes first: Lead Magnet or Digital Course?
The question of chicken or egg comes up in every possible scenario, including whether you should have a lead magnet before you have your digital course or if you should just jump in with your digital course.
Most marketers will tell you that you need to go ahead and create a lead magnet so that you can build your email list while you then turn and build your course. This seems logical on the surface, but after years of watching this advice play out in the digital space, I don’t know it serves digital entrepreneurs well.
Would you rather have a lead magnet out there attracting an audience that isn’t aligned with your core offer or would you rather have a lead magnet that creates a solid stepping stone to your paid offer?
