The short answerPick one problem you solve, pre-sell it to a small group, record the course in short lessons, put it on a platform with a simple checkout, and send people to it from your email list and social posts. Start small and improve it with real students.
- Pick one problem. "Run your first 5K" sells better than "fitness". The narrower the promise, the easier the sale.
- Check people want it. Ask your audience, or pre-sell to 10 people at a founding price before you record anything.
- Outline short lessons. 5 to 10 minutes each, one idea per lesson, with a small task at the end.
- Record simply. A phone, good light and a clip-on microphone are enough. Content beats production.
- Choose where it lives. Rent a course platform or own one; see Kajabi alternatives.
- Write a one-page sales page: who it's for, what they'll be able to do, what's inside, the price, and a guarantee.
- Set up a simple checkout and a welcome email that tells buyers exactly where to start.
- Drive people to it: your email list first, then short videos, then search (guides like this one).
- Improve it with what your first students ask. Their questions become new lessons and new marketing.
Mistakes to avoid
- Recording everything before anyone has paid.
- A long course nobody finishes. Shorter often sells better.
- No email list: social posts alone rarely fill a course.
