REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CREATE AN ONLINE COURSE IN THE YEAR 2024!!

Dear Esteemed Readers,

Welcome to the latest edition of "Future Mortals," your go-to destination for all things related to cutting-edge marketing & branding strategies and trends. In an era where the Business landscape is constantly evolving, we are thrilled to embark on this journey of knowledge-sharing and innovation with you.

Online courses are the best way of transforming your knowledge and passion for teaching into a sustainable income.

For budding Entrepreneurs, a well-crafted online course can help you step off the client treadmill and control your own time. For bloggers, they’re an ideal opportunity to change your audiences’ lives and turn your blog into a consistent moneymaker. And for budding entrepreneurs, they’re the best way to start growing a side income and break free from the 9-to-5 grind.

If you haven’t created an online course before, though, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Choosing the right topic, picking tools, creating your content, pricing your course, finding customers—launching your first course means answering a lot of questions. No matter what you choose to teach or how much experience you have with sales, marketing, and teaching, it’s easy to create and sell your first online course.

What is an Online Course?

An online course is essentially a collection of educational lessons covering a central topic that can be accessed online instead of being taught in-person. The course material is often broken into modules covering a specific topic, with each module including lessons underneath that topic. Students typically pay upfront for access to all the course materials, although some courses include options for payment plans. They come in all shapes and sizes, from professionally-designed hosted video courses down to written courses, email drip courses, slides, worksheets, and audio recordings. 

If you’re thinking of launching your courses, here are the top 9 reasons why you should create an online course this year!

• Create new passive income opportunities with minimal effort and time investment: there are numerous rewards that come with pursuing your passion and creating online courses based on that. You have the power to make a lot more money from your skills and knowledge by teaching online what you know. The financial benefits of creating an online course are also quite significant. Whether you create one online course or a series of courses on different topics, each online course has the potential to build its revenue stream when marketed and sold properly.
• Build a stronger community of like-minded people who share your interests: An online course is a great way to connect with others who share the same interests as you. By creating a community of individuals who share similar interests, you create strong engagement in that group and build a dedicated following for your brand. As you spend more time with that community teaching them your skills, they will provide valuable feedback on how to improve your online course, which new courses to launch based on their needs, as well as offer support and encouragement to those taking them, helping you sell even faster.
• Increase visibility to establish your Brand as a leader in your domain to become the go-to-coach: Creating an online course is a fantastic way to increase your visibility, create buzz and establish yourself as the go-to coach or expert in your field. When you launch courses, you create content that can be accessed by anyone around the world at any time of day. This allows you to reach a much wider audience than traditional methods such as workshops, conferences, or physical seminars.
• Improve your public speaking skills and confidence: When you offer online courses, you build an online learning platform that allows you to practice and get better at talking in front of small and large audiences. It also creates openings to practice different presentation styles such as webinars or live streams to keep your existing audience engaged throughout. Not only will you gain the ability to create and generate course content from beginning to end, but this opens up a fantastic opportunity to sharpen your abilities for online research, preparation, delivery, and follow-up abilities. 
• Attract high-quality leads for your business and increase sales : Whether you’re an entrepreneur trying to grow your startup, a consultant or an agency hoping to get more consulting clients, or a coach trying to grow their online business, one unconventional argument for course creation is that they can be used to attract better quality leads for your business and increase sales. If your course idea has the potential to solve a key pain problem that your target audience is going through, you get to capture their leads in exchange for sharing that exact information on how to eliminate those challenges. So not only will people pay money to learn that from you, but you also generate leads for your business. This allows you to follow up on those leads with additional marketing efforts to convert them into paying customers for other advanced courses or consulting offers.
• Create a legacy and leave a lasting impact on your field: Beyond the immediate benefits of reaching more potential customers or followers, creating an online course gives you something far greater: an opportunity to establish yourself as a category leader in your industry. This type of recognition will endure long after any fad or trend fades, allowing you to create a lasting legacy and leave a mark on the world that will outlive any short-term success. When you launch an online course, it isn’t just about making money; it’s also about building a reputation and leaving a lasting impact on your field.

The ultimate goal of creating an online course is the satisfaction that you get from the transformation your courses bring into the lives of people, helping them go from being 0 in the domain to becoming experts. Additionally, you also get to build a significant income stream, maybe even a passive income.

Coaches, experts, professionals, authors, influencers, celebrities, and businesses, literally anyone can build a brand new income stream, earn money online, and gradually become a thought leader in the respective domains with online courses.

So don’t wait any longer, start your journey toward financial freedom and become a go-to coach today!
