Why Create Online Courses?
So why is online course creation such a powerful boost for your business?

Are you often helping people with the same things over and over again? Do you feel like you’re repeating yourself in your 1:1 sessions with people?

3. You can scale your business
If you’re exhausted and tired of exchanging your precious hours for money this is the way you can scale your business without having to hire more staff or buy larger premises. You can have a huge expansion in your business without the expensive overheads.

What Options are Available to Deliver Your Online Course
When it comes to delivering your course there are lots of options. If you aren’t sure of what to do remember the decision starts with what you know your audience needs and how you can best help them. My advice is to start small and create some wins for your audience and your business. Your online course doesn’t need to be a huge undertaking. You can start small and grow from there. Some options to create your online course include:
- a mini-course or training – a 15-minute video training on a simple task
- a mini-course – as above with a PDF worksheet
- 1 to 2-week course
- 3 to 12-week course
- 3 to 12-week course with group coaching
- quarterly group coaching
- 6-month academy
- 12-month academy
