One of my favorite things to teach in my free trainings is how to create your online course in 60 minutes.   The most common excuse people give me about why their course isn’t created yet is that they feel overwhelmed.  Which makes sense.  You have  to film it, build it, produce it, write it, and it can all seem like a daunting task.

Well, good news, I got you!

My FIRST course cost me thousands of dollars and months of time to create… I wish I had this tutorial to help me back then because it would have saved me so much!

I thought I had to build up this absolutely perfect high quality course before I could take the next steps and start enrolling students.  If you have ever watched my free training you will know that the course did not go well.

I went through and built what I thought my audience wanted.  I took polls, surveys, emailed my list asking for feedback… I painstakingly created every lesson, filmed it in the highest quality...

When people first start building their online course business they think it will be a journey from A to Z.  A list of tasks that once they complete enough of them, they have a successful business.

When you first start out it does have that feeling to it. 

Step 1 Pick your course idea

Step 2 Test, 

Step 3 Kickstart, 

Step 4 launch, 

And so on. 

But what happens is you eventually hit a wall. Stuck and you don’t know what to do next because the list of tasks to do has already run out!

What you decide to do next is what makes or breaks your business.  Some people hit the wall and decide that it was a bad idea to start with and they need to start over with a different one. Others decide to take a few steps back and redo steps again. But a little better and a little different than last time based off what they learned the first time through. 

That first group usually just keeps feeling like they are spinning their wheels and getting...

Kickstarting your online course

You have finally decided that you are going to make the plunge and create an online course.  Congrats, that is the step people get hung up on the longest!

Before I get started laying out the steps you need to follow there is one caveat you need to know and keep in mind.  These steps are going to sound simple.  Which they are...

Now the question, “But if it is simple why doesn’t everyone do it?” might be floating around in your head right now…

The answer is that just because it is simple, does not mean it they are easy. It is hard work and you need to push yourself harder than you ever have to be successful. 

When I first decided to leave behind my two million a year boudoir course and make the switch to helping others build courses in their niches I kept running into walls.  I asked a friend of mine, Dan Henry, why my course wasn’t immediately selling like my last one did.  He responded...

Step 1: Start with what works

If you have been following me for a while you know I’m a huge advocate for kickstarting your course first instead of launching.  Some people think that means I don’t like launching, I do!  I occasionally run launches myself!  But the difference between what I do and what some other “gurus” teach is I’ve already done my course kickstart before I do a launch.  So because of that kickstart I already had these vital components for my launch.

1. I’ve already made money from my course so I know it sells
2. I know what messaging works
3. I have assets built up that I can repurpose for a launch. 
4. I have a group of fans that I can build up for my launch

There is nothing worse than spending $10k and three months on a launch and losing all of that time and effort because nobody wants your course. It is a completely preventable problem!  Just make sure to Kickstart FIRST!

How I Created an Online Course that was Profitable from Day One.

I’m Molly!  I’m super excited to share with you guys my top takeaways that helped me to grow a successful online course.  Because of that course I was able to do things that I never really thought were possible.

I was able to “retire” my husband from his job at a school district where he worked in the basement in a windowless server room. I traveled Europe for a month with some friends, I even brought my mom along for some of it!

Because I was able to grow my course to $2 million per year and make all this happen, I’m excited for you because I know the potential!

So get your pen and paper out because we are going to get to work. (This is a bit of a long post, so if you prefer to watch a free training that goes over the same stuff, check it out here)

So Why should you listen to me?

7 years ago I may have been in a place similar to where you are today.  I was a hustling...

Sionil Jose, a Filipino writer, said “The influence of teachers extends beyond the classroom, well into the future”. I believe this shows why course creation is really one of the most fulfilling projects you can undertake. It enables you to create a long lasting impact into the person that will follow your course, which they will use to change and impact their  life.

Creating a course is such a beautiful thing. It creates a long lasting impact on  the world  and on the niche you are serving. However, have you ever wondered what mistakes course creators make? Or what you could do to prevent these mistakes from happening? 

Well, my friend, I’m here to help. Over the last 5 years, I grew my online course to 2m per year in a small weird niche, and I also helped hundreds  of people grow their own course. And I have seen countless mistakes people made that I don’t want YOU to fall into.

Now that you learned in the last video  the equipment you need to start a course. A good camera, a good microphone, a nice computer. You may be wondering, what do I need in order to add this up together in order to finally launch my course?

Well, my friend, I’m here to help. Over the last 5 years, I grew my online course to 2m per year in a small weird niche. I have always been the person wearing multiple hats: camerawoman, editor, designer, and so on. This allowed me to know what every course creator needs in terms of software in order to make sure his production is as qualitative as his content is.

You know what matters the most after the content of your course? Its quality. Your course content is written, your ideas are there, and you have everything ready to launch. But, cause there’s gotta be a but, you don’t know/have the required material to record, screen record, and edit on.

Have you been wanting to create an online course, but you're just not sure which software is best. You're not sure which website or platform to use to upload your course into so that when people pay for it, they can get a login to your course. Well, I got you covered because over the last five years, I grew my online course to $2 million per year. And I still really remember when I was getting started just being so frustrated and overwhelmed at all the different software options. I spent weeks, even probably months trying to figure out which software was best. And the first go around, I picked the wrong software. The second go around. I picked the wrong software. In the end, I picked the right software. I'm going to go through different choices, show you the pros and cons and let you know ultimately which one I picked and which one I believe to be best.

And by the end of this article, my goal is to have it so that you are confident in choosing which software works best for you, so...
