Uncertainty.

It’s got a lot of us worried, fearful and I indecisive.

Many of us are working remotely, some of us have lost our jobs and many people are fearful.

I want to talk about an additional way to make money w upfront work, and passive income on the back end.

A THREAD
1. Online Courses

I believe anyone with talent can turn that talent into an online education program.

With so many folks working remotely & leveraging a bit of time on their hands, it’s a good time for them to learn a skill they can execute quickly.

You can fill that void.
I have 2 courses. All of my additional content is free. To start, I suggest two course types:

Low Cost - $100 or less
High Cost - $499+

You should be providing free content consistently. It should provide ACTIONABLE RESULTS. No fluff. It’s a great way to develop your audience.
Here are forms of free content:

- Weekly Newsletter
- Youtube Channel
- Facebook Group
- Instagram Carousels
- Lead Magnet

You need to post consistently. Your goal here is to give folks tactics they can really use.
You’re building trust, you’re developing your advocacy army and you’re getting valuable feedback.

Now, you can work on your course.

Steps:
1. Open a Google Doc and outline your course curriculum. Add a headline, module subjects and a one sentence breakdown of of each.
Now, share the outline with your audience.

Ask them for feedback. Tweak the content of the outline until the majority of your audience sees value in the creation of the course.

This is crucial.

The worst thing you can do is spend time developing a course nobody wants.
You can also accept a small deposit for your course as a pre-sale as an incentive to buy with a discount. @stripe has an integration you can use here and @joshcoffy has a great course on this.

2. Develop your course. I use the following steps to outline my courses:
1. Use the outline as a guide

2. Design and develop google slides of the curriculum

3. Video record using @useloom while going through slides

4. Upload curriculum, videos and resources to a learning platform like @podia (my favorite).
Your course can be about whatever you’re great at. I suggest things people are looking to learn:

- how to play guitar
- raising a child
- being fashionable
- how to speak to an audience

The list goes on! Have intent with your content and leverage your existing audience.
