Content can get you so far, but what you really need is specific advice on the challenge you're currently facing.
That specific advice can unlock stuck energy and get the creativity flowing.
But for me (and Azhelle) it's time-consuming to reply to everyone.
The response exists in a vacuum where only the question asker gets to benefit from the answer.
Often, the advice can be generalized by others to apply to them too.
So what does Azhelle do about this?
→ She does AMAs twice a month
→ She records her answers in a private podcast feed
→ She posts this in her community, which has other resources and value for members.
Your course transformation and vehicle for that transformation shouldn't change
It's built on who you are - your experience, personality, and unique point of view
Your audience can, and should, change though
I call it Checking IDs
The sales side of being a course creator is about finding audience fit.
Often, the best way to do this is to experiment and see what resonates with people.
The way to do this is to:
→ find audiences that already exist
→ tweak your transformation vehicle slightly for them
→ educate them and offer ways for them to sign up for your email list
I ran an online course on how to create an online course
150 students. $350K+ in revenue. $40K+ in scholarships.
And I finally had time to sit down and write about it 😄
Here are 20 lessons I learned:
1. Credibility
Credibility comes from putting in the reps, producing results, and doing this for years to develop mental representations you understand well enough to decode for others.
2. Passion
You have to have a passion for what you teach. If you love what you do, two things will happen. Students will experience the same joy you feel, and you’ll have the energy needed to produce the mountains of quality content required to attract more students.
