.@iMarcioSantos gave a masterclass today in HOW he helped @khemaridh scale SYP over 3 cohorts

Here is how to scale your course to multiple 6-figures:
Khe's starting point:

• Mostly Notion related content
• Consistent content published
• Poor website health
• Stuck at 5-figures (not bad!) after 4 cohorts

The 1st cohort they worked on, the numbers dipped!

But they hit 6-figures in the next 2 cohorts

Here's how...
Always be thinking about Brand vs Performance

All activities should focus on

• high leverage (10K) work
• high quality brand
• high brand

Do you have an email list that's not doing anything for you?

So do a lot of entrepreneurs who want to offer a course.

You have to take care of your email list so it doesn't become a burden.

Here are 4 steps for doing that:
Step 1 - ask them

Find out who's still interested in what you're doing and who isn't, so you can focus on reaching out to people who want to hear from you.
Step 2 - serve them

Provide valuable content and lead magnets (such as daily challenges or a chapter from your course) to keep people engaged, interested in what you're sending them, and hopefully buying your products too.

A lot of people waste a LOT of time creating an online course

Without any students

The reality is that until you have customers who are actually interested in your course then it's just a pipe dream

So how do you validate your course idea?
3 steps:

1) Talk to your customers
2) Listen for their pain points
3) Ask them if they're interested in what you're offering

This way when you create the course they'll see useful information that will solve their problem
Summary:

• get feedback about who your target audience is before investing time into designing a final product

• if there isn't any interest from potential customers then move onto something else!

As an alum of ODCC and an accomplished course creator himself, @SKNWilkinson is well placed to opine on what makes a good online course

He delivers in spades in a recent issue of his *free* newsletter

Here is a summary of the 10 lessons he shared 🧵
👩‍🏫 Teaching adults is difficult.

You must be crystal clear on

• what transformation you promise to deliver
• who is going to benefit most from that transformation

As Steven says, at heart, it's a business proposition.
👥 Learning is best done in a group

Steven reflects that this realization "redefines the role of the teacher completely."

That role?

Build opportunities for collaboration and group work into every facet of the curriculum and then watch over the process.
