Transcripts

1. What Thie Course Creation Course Is All About: am Pat and in discourse, you're gonna learn how to make your first online course without being on camera. Most beginners see the value of creating online course passive profit without having a trade hours for money, the ability to work from home and share knowledge with more people without physically being there. The problem is how many options there are for trading your course like to have to be on camera. If so, do I need expensive tools like microphones, DSL, ours and lighting? Also, What kind of cameras, mikes and lighting setups do I need is gonna cost me over $1000 to get started? Wait, what about editing? How long does that take the text? Stuff isn't even the biggest problem for beginners. What really holds people back from making their first online course is the crippling doubt in fear. Like I'm no guru. Who would want to hear for me? I've never made a course before and don't know how I have zero following. So how would I even get students? I'm worried. I'm gonna spend a lot of time making it and nothing is gonna happen. Plus, you can get this information free online. Why pay to get it for me? With all these doubts, it can feel pointless to even try to make a course. I felt the same way and had the same doubts before I started. My first course was about how to freestyle rap for beginners. I was like, I'm not famous. How could I teach people how to wrap? Yet I knew I had a lot to share. I knew how much learning out of freestyle helps me deal with depression in high school, and I had a strong feeling. Other people struggling with expressing themselves would benefit from the lessons I've learned along the way. From now making over five online courses, I've learned people only care about quick, fast, high quality content. See, I did an experiment and tried to make a course in one week about Reddit marketing. I decided I was gonna try to make a course without being on camera at all. I came up with the outline while watching TV with my wife and then finished the course seven days later, to my surprise, my Reddit courses, not my highest rated course online. It has better reviews than my other courses that I spent over $1000 creating. So I learned something really cool. You don't have to be on camera at all. You don't need expensive equipment either. You don't even need to be an expert on anything. All I did was share one experience of having success after trying lots of things that failed. So if you have tried something a lot and failed and found one thing that works a little better than everything else you've tried, then you have the makings for a successful online courses. Well, the key to success with online courses is a solid, well organized outline. And like me, you can create your course outline in the no pad on your phone. I want to share exactly how I made my most successful course in just one week without being on camera, you're gonna learn all the free and super cheap tech tools I use and exactly how to use them. You're also gonna learn the best order and must needed sections for your outline, so people feel confident and grounded in their learning. And so people give you the highest reviews in your niche because the only courses that sell well on sites like you, Demi are highly rated courses. You need at least a 4.5 rating, and I'm gonna show you how I consistently get a 4.9 rating on my read. Of course, we're gonna cover a lot. So this course is not for you. If you're looking for something easy, making online course is not easy at all. It's a one time investment of your time and energy that can pay you passively for as long as the Internet exists. Yet it can take a lot of work to get your first course done, especially if you've never created a course before. So I definitely not say making online courses easy yet this course makes it as easy as it can get. This course is for you if you're tired of working for other people and building other people's empires when you could be building your own with your own collection of online courses, while no course can honestly guarantee you will make money, my goal in this course is to make it as simple and straightforward as possible for you to succeed with making online courses by following a proven outline and strategy. This strategy was discovered from seven years of making tons of mistakes and finally finding something that works consistently. I originally designed this course to work for my brother in law, who is an amazing cook but has zero experience with creating anything online. So this course will work for you, even if you are not very computer savvy, even if you've never made a course before. Even if you're not an expert or guru in anything and even if you don't know what to make a course about, I made sure to break down every possible step I could think of. And if I miss something, I'm always adding Mawr based on student questions, so you'll definitely be covered and know exactly what to do to maximize your probability of success. So thank you for visiting my page, and I look forward to seeing you inside with a few special bonus tip videos. Thanks again. This has been Pap are 2. Introduction To Creating An Online Course Without Being On Camera: welcome to making online courses without being on camera. And this course you're gonna learn how to make high quality courses that people love without showing your face first A little about me. My name is Pat. I've been teaching on your Demi since 2014 and I have five live courses and a few hidden ones because they were just really bad. Which is not a lot, of course, is compared to most people. Yet if you've never made a course before that, I think this course will really help you out a lot. I was the first wrapped teacher on you, Demi. My first course was all about teaching. Complete beginners had a rap at an advanced level. Now there are a lot more wrapped teachers on the site. I also have a YouTube channel with over 15,000 subscribers where I teach free wrap tips to help promote my courses. I've made a lot of mistakes along the way, and in this course I want to share with you what has been working the best for me. You're gonna learn how I've kept the highest rating and most popular courses in my niche, and you're gonna learn how my highest rated course was the easiest to make. Thanks again for joining me. I hope to make the course creation process as easy as possible for you. So if you're ready, continue on to the next video to get started. 3. Overview Of How You're Going to Create An Online Course To Sell: in this video. I want to give you a quick overview of everything we'll be covering in this course. First, it's important to break through common myths about making online course. Common myths are that they're really expensive to make. You need a fancy camera. You need inexpensive Mike, and you need expensive editing tools. Starting out. I believe these myths and spent over $1000 building my first few courses. I hired a professional camera crew to film my videos, and I spent way too much time editing. I've recently learned there is a much better way. See, I didn't experiment to try making online course about Reddit marketing without being on camera at all in just a week. And to my surprise, it's not my highest rated course. I keep waiting for the rating to go down, but it's staying at a 4.9 consistently. I'm gonna share why I think that is in this course and how you could do the same. The best part is you can do it with free and super cheap tools Towards the end. I'll show you how to get my Reddit marketing course for free so you can use it as an example of what is working the format now working the best for me is simple slideshow videos, where I am talking over slides of text and a few pictures. Also, once in a while, I'll throw in a simple screen capture video to demo what I'm doing. I've learned there's something hypnotic about hearing and reading at the same time, and it makes it easier for people to learn. Also, top $1,000,000 marketers like Ryan Dese and John Benson have said that text light show videos often work best because seeing someone's face could be distracting. So slideshow videos. People spend less time judging what you look like and more time focusing on learning this type of format might not work for all niches. It's up to you to decide if you think this will work for what you want to teach, however, since most people listen to online courses like an audiobook while driving or working out, I think this format can work for most. Niche is the key is how you present your content. The order is really important, so in this course, you're gonna learn the DNA of a top rated course and how to organize your courses in a similar way for best results. First, we're gonna start with strategy. We have multiple ways of benefiting from your course creation. Then we'll get into the best way to outline your course. Outlining is like 90% of the work, and you can easily do it from your phone. Then we will get into free and cheap ways. You could make your course videos quickly. Next, we will cover how to record and edit audio. Then we'll cover how to put everything together and upload your course to Demi or your favorite course hosting site. Also as a bonus will also cover how to make a high converting course sales video. How to do S E O for your course page so you get free organic traffic for life and how to maximize your profit. Also have a full list of all the free and cheap tools I used to make my courses on a Mac or PC in the resource of section or at course, tools that us remember. Think of making an online course as an investment of your time. Online courses are a lot of work for a short amount of time and then compay you passively for life, so let's get started. Continue on to the first section 4. Your Best Course Marketing Strategy To Get The Most Out Of Your Time And Effort: your core strategy. This lecture is all about giving you multiple ways of benefiting from your course, even if you don't have an audience when starting a new course. A good thing to ask yourself is, What's my angle? It's good to have an angle in mind for yourself before starting to outline your course this way, you know exactly what you're going for. This can also help with staying motivated to finish your course. People without clear end goals and strategy in mind tend to have a difficult time getting the results they would like from their online courses. I'm gonna give you examples of popular and goals in the second, plus some of my favorite strategies for success on your Demi First, no matter what your end goal is, an important thing to remember is the best way to reach your goal is to make sure your course provides a lot of value. So your first goal should be doing your best to help people in a re away. And this may be obvious to you, but a lot of people get so wrapped up in their own personal money goals that they forget to give as much value as they know they can. So I want to make sure you don't make that mistake. This will help you reach your course money and fame goals a lot easier. Now let's get into a few examples of popular and goals for courses. You can sell your course for passive profit, where you just make a lot of you Demi courses and leave them up to get passive profit. You can up sell online coaching at the end of your course. You can recommend your private online coaching programme for $100 an hour, $200 an hour. Whatever you want to charge, you can up sell a membership site. Maybe you have a bunch of courses or ah, whole program that you want to lead people into on a separate site, like teachable you could up so more advanced training. Maybe you have more advanced training on you, Demi that you could recommend people to. You can up sell live training. Maybe you have a live event coming up that you want to sell people on. You could use your you Demi courses to make people aware of your brand. You can get people to go to your YouTube channel. You can lead people to follow you on social media. You can use your your Demi courses to sell your book. A great strategy is giving a smaller course away for free and then offer a coupon toe a larger or more advanced paid course. This helps you deal with the common challenge of I'm just starting. I don't have audience. How will I get people to check out my product? The free course will bring in the traffic from you. Demi's over 30 million users and the paid course will bring you the money. An example of a free to paid strategy is Katie's cupcakes. This is a fictional example that I want to give us. I think it's a really good idea. I've been wanting my wife to do a course on how to make the best feeding cupcakes when she does it. I think her best strategy would be to first offer a free course showing how to make amazing simple vanilla cupcakes. Her free course would then offer a coupon at the end to her paid course, which would be five fancy cupcakes that make people go crazy. So it's very natural progression. You start people off with a very simple course, and you progress them into something more advanced would be free to paid. So the danger is, what if your main strategy doesn't work? This is why a well diversified combo strategy is best, which means you would take a couple strategies that you really like and try to combine them into one course. So you have multiple ways of having success from your one course. So a recap is that there are many strategies for success, and I recommend combining a few to increase your odds of benefiting from your effort and time investment. An example of combining strategies is you could have a free course leading to a paid course combined with getting people to subscribe to your YouTube channel and recommending useful Ophelia products on Amazon, like bacon gear ingredients or something more relevant to your niche. Once you've decided on a strategy, you'll have a more clear idea of how you would like to organize your course to reach your goals while also providing a lot of amazing value. Now let's get into building your outline in the next section 5. Intro To Your Ideal Course Outline : your outline is super important for the success of your course. The keys to get to the content as fast as possible after a quick intro, an overview after many failures and student responses, I think I've discovered the best way to outlined your course. You're welcome to copy my outline as it's working really well for me and the next couple videos. I'll share the outline for my highest rated course and go deep into what is needed for each section. 6. Demo of The Best Outline For An Online Course: all right, so this quick video, I want to show you my top rated course. It's my reddit course. It's Reddit marketing strategy for YouTube views and sales and has a 4.9 31 ratings, almost 2000 students. And I want to show you the outline because I think you will build a benefit a lot from the outline of this course. So the outline working really well for me is having an intro. It's only a minute and 22 seconds. Have a overview video. It's a lot longer. It's about four minutes. Then I get into my main content. This is most of the course right here, just all the content, right after finishing the teaching part of the course, I get right into a video that talks about the common mistakes and how to avoid them. So, having a mistake's video, and then I go into having one bonus video and a conclusion. The bonus video is just multiple ways of using this strategy and different inches, and then I get into the conclusion. You can also have the conclusion before the bonus video and have the bonus video after either one of these works in the conclusion. Video is where you'd probably up sell someone with private coaching or the conclusion video . You can also give people coupons to your other paid courses. So this is where you would be doing your kind of up selling and stuff and referring people to your other programs. In this last section here, it's optional section. This is where you could do like a Q and A with your students. After you lost the course, you could do a Q and A and do like a free Google hangouts where you answer student questions. And then Google will automatically record your question and answer video, and then you just downloaded from YouTube and re upload it to you Demi. Alright, so that's a brief overview of the outline. And in the next video, I'm gonna break down each one of these elements of the outline and get into deeper detail of how you can create your ideal outlines so that you have success on you. Demi 7. Deep Into The Structure Of A High Rated Course Outline : in this video, let's get deeper into your outline, which will be 90% of your coursework. Also, remember, you can create your course outline 100% for free from your phones. No pad app. So again, here's the idealist. For your outline, you have an intro than an overview video that you have your content separated into sections or for smaller courses, just one content section. Then you get right into the mistakes to avoid for success. Then you go to your conclusion. Then you'll have a what to do next. Video, and then you will offer an extra bonus or a few bonuses. I think you Demi prefers. If you only have one extra bonus now, we're gonna break down each element of the outline. For your intro. You will quickly introduce yourself, your experience and dank your student for taking your training. Then you'll get right into the overview video. The overview video is important because it helps frame the benefits of your teaching style for your students. Instructors without a good overview video are more likely to get a bad review on their course because you Demi asks for your students to review the course very early. This is why it's important to share why you teach the way you do and list everything they're about to learn quickly in the overview video before you get into the rial content of your training's. Now. Because the overview video is so important, I want to give you an ideal outline, specifically four year overview video. It goes like this. Common problems, myths, your solution, why it works, and then a quick list of everything you're about to cover. Now I'm going to break down each section of your overview video. The problem. First, you need to talk about the problem with typical solutions and or mention the problem with typical ways of learning your topic or the problem that most beginners have. For example, for this course, most beginners get overwhelmed and don't know where to begin. They get overwhelmed with what tech to use and overwhelmed with self doubt. Second are the myths is important to recognize common myths that are holding your student back. For example, common myths about course creation are that you need to own $1000 cameras and lighting gear , and you need to be an expert in your field. Third we give them the solution in this part of your overview video? Briefly say why your solution solves these problems and breaks through these common myths, for example, and this course you will learn to get all the tools you need to make hundreds of high quality courses fast for less than $150 or even completely free. And you don't even need to be on camera at all. This means no expensive cameras and no expensive lighting kits air needed. Next, we're gonna get into why it works here. You can briefly say what your secret for success is and why it works, for example, because having your face on the screen can be distracting for students. And since most people listen to courses while on the go and this course, I'm gonna show you how to make super simple slideshow videos that people love. The most important thing is for the audio to be really good, and it's proven that when people read and hear a the same time their understanding of the material improves. Now, in the last part of the overview video, quickly list everything they're about to learn. When you do this, they get excited about what's coming up, and they feel like they're getting a lot for their money and time. This will keep your ratings high and your refunds low. Watch the overview video for this course again to see everything discussed in this lecture in action. The overview video should be the second video right after the intro video. At the beginning of this course, after the overview video comes the Content section for your Content section, organize your content from beginner material to more advanced As the course goes on, start with the super simple, foundational steps the student needs to prepare for the steps. Coming up quick wins air important here, so the simplest, quickest and most beginner friendly, life changing tip would come at the beginning. For example, for my free style rap course, I teach my five minute method for learning to freestyle rap for the first time, right at the beginning of the course. This gives the student a quick win. Then, as the course goes on, the trainings take longer and become more involved. After the content section comes the Common Mistake section, the Common Mistakes section, is a list of common mistakes that keep people from being successful with your training. Here's where you will list a few common mistakes and how to fix them. This will ground students in your teachings and make them feel more confident in what they have learned. For example, in this course, a common mistake for beginners would be to not include an overview video. If a new instructor went straight from the intra video to the content, then they would be putting their course at a much higher risk of getting a poor rating because the student won't have any framework for why you were teaching the way you are. And they won't have a clear idea of why your method of teaching is better than others. So to fix this, make sure to make a clear overview video after the intro, so students feel comforted in knowing why they're learning in this way. The next video will be your conclusion. In the Conclusion video, you encourage your students to take action and thank them for taking your course. The next video is your What's next video. In this video, you can up sell other courses or recommend whatever strategy you decide on earlier, for example, you could have students sign up for your more advanced paid course, or you could offer one on one private training for a higher hourly price. Last, you can add an optional bonus section. Your bonus section can offer more examples of how your training's can be used in different situations. Or you can add a live, pre recorded Q and A video where you do a live Google, hang out with your students and hang out. They can ask you questions for clarification. Anything extra that you think will help your students. Google hangouts could be done for free using YouTube. They're automatically recorded and are easy to set up. You can search on YouTube for how to do a Google hang out because they can be a great addition to your courses, and you only have to do it once and then upload the recording onto your course. Bonuses are another great way to get good reviews because students feel like you're making sure they're totally covered and have everything they need to succeed. Okay, so that's it for your course outline. I hope that was clear. Feel free to ask any questions in the discussion section. Here's a quick recap of your course outline. First going to your intro. Second, your overview video, then your content, then common mistakes, then the conclusion video, then the What's next video and then the bonuses. Also, here's a quick, extra tip about your course outline. If you're doing a small course covering one strategy or one small topic than this outline format only needs to be done. Once. For example, my Reddit course was on Onley one reddit strategy. However, if you're doing a bigger course like this one with a lot of different sections with multiple lectures per each section, then it would be good to follow this outline format for each individual section, for example. For this course, you'll probably notice I'm trying to add an overview video and covered common mistakes for each topic section. This way, I can help ground the learning for each section. Since the sections are pretty different. I hope that makes sense now that you know the importance of your outline in the next section, we will get into how to create your course videos 8. Intro To Creating Videos For Online Courses Without Being On Camera: Now we're gonna cover how to start making your course videos again. There is a free and a cheap way to make your course videos. The freeway takes a little longer, but for those on a budget, it could be great to get started. The cheap way costs a little less than $150 for everything you need to make it online course for both methods, we will be making slideshow videos so you don't have to show your face. And so your students can focus on seeing and hearing your content. 9. Update After Getting Student Feedback: Okay, so there's been update. I have a good learning lesson to share with you based on student feedback. After launching this course, I've reorganized the sections from student feedback. I realized a lot of the free video and editing tools have already been covered in many courses. This is why I've now reorganized the course to include the best tips unique to me and my experience in the first sections of the course. And I've moved the more technical stuff, like how to edit videos and audio for free to the end of the course again. This is because after launching, I realized many of the students already knew how to edit audio and video. They were just interested in a faster way of making coarse videos without being on camera. So I'm sharing the faster video creation software I use first. And if you need the free audio and video training, you'll still be able to access that by going to the last sections again.

Winning Sales Video Formula For Online Course Websites: and this lecture, we're going to discuss your ideal sales video making a sales videos important because without a sales video, your course will sell a lot less. If you wanted to be super lazy, you could use your course overview video as a sales video. But I think you can do better with one video for your course focused on selling again. You don't need to be on camera for the sales video. You can use the same method for making videos as we have already discussed. You could do slash O videos with Google slides, or you can use the sales video software I showed you to make it a little faster again. For the sales video, The outline is very important. Here's a great basic outline for your sales video. Inspired by one of my mentors, the $1,000,000,000 copywriter John Benson, the outline is as follows. First, you ever intro Second, you get into some problems. Third, get into a bigger problem. Fourth, you get into general tips to solve the problem. Five. You introduce your course. Six. You'll say who this course is not for seven. You'll say who this course is. 48 is the works, even if Section nine is the thank you section and 10 is the testimonials. And now I'm gonna break down each section. So in the intro, you'll quickly introduce the course, for example, high on Pat. And in this course, you're gonna learn how to make your first online course without being on camera. Next is the problem most beginners have. For example, most beginners see the value of creating online course passive profit without having to trade hours from money, the ability to work from home and share knowledge with more people without physically being there. The problem is, how many options there are for trading your course like to have to be on camera. If so, do I need expensive tools like microphones? Dear solares and lighting? Also, what kind of cameras, mikes and lighting setups do I need is gonna cost me over $1000 to get started? Wait, what about editing? How long does that take? End of example. So that was the first problem area. Now we make the problem even bigger in the next section. By listing common objections, people have toe learning the subject. You can get a list of common objections by asking your friends to tell you why they don't think they can learn what you teach. Here's an example of how I continue on with the bigger problem. The text stuff isn't even the biggest problem for beginners. What really holds people back from making their first online course is the crippling doubt in fear. Like I'm no guru. Who wouldn't want to learn from me or I've never made a course before and don't know how I have zero following. So how would I even get students? I'm worried. I'm gonna spend a lot of time making it and nothing is gonna happen. Plus, you can get this information free online. Why pay to get it for me? With all these doubts, it can feel pointless to even try to make a course. All right. End of example. So that was the bigger problem. Next, we'll get into general tips to solve the problem for your visitors without giving the specific details away. For example, I felt the same way and had the same doubts before I started for my first course about how to freestyle rap for beginners. I was like, I'm not famous. How could I teach people how to wrap? Yet I knew I had a lot to share. I knew how much learning how to freestyle helped me deal with depression in high school, and I had a strong feeling. Other people struggling with expressing themselves would benefit from the lessons I've learned along the way. From now making five online courses, I've learned people only care about quick, fast, high quality content. See, I didn't experiment and tried to make a course in one week about Reddit marketing. I decided I was gonna try to make a course without being on camera at all. I came up with the outline while watching TV with my wife and then finish the course seven days later to my surprise, my Reddit courses, now my highest rated course online. It has better reviews than my other courses that I spent over $1000 creating. So I learned something really cool. You don't have to be on camera at all. You don't need expensive equipment, either. You don't even need to be an expert on anything. All I did was share one experience of having success after trying lots of things that failed so If you have tried something a lot and failed and found one thing that works a little better than everything else you've tried, then you have the makings for a successful online courses. Well, the key to success with online courses is a solid, well organized outline. And like me, you can create your course outline in the no pad app on your phone. Okay, so that's the end of example. So now in step five, you can start to introduce your course and give a brief description of what they're gonna get inside. For example, I want to share exactly how I made my most successful course in just a week. Without being on camera, you're gonna learn all the free and super cheap tech tools I use and exactly how to use them. You're also gonna learn the best order and must needed sections for your outline. So people feel confident and grounded in their learning. And so people give you the highest reviews in your niche because the only courses that sell well on sites like you, Demi are highly rated courses. You need at least a 4.5 rating, and I'm gonna show you how I got a 4.9 rating. We're gonna cover a lot. All right. End of example. Next, we're going to ride out who this course is not for like, who are we trying tow? Avoid joining our courses. What kind of student would be super annoying? Let's call them out and kick them out in the next section. What this does is call out the right people to join your course, for example. So this course is not for you. If you're looking for something easy making online course, it's not easy at all. It's a one time investment of your time and energy that can pay you passively for as long as the Internet exists. Yet it can take a lot of work to get your first course done, especially if you've never created a course before. So I would definitely not say making online courses easy yet this course makes it as easy as it can get. Alright. Example over. All right, now we're gonna cover who this course is for. This will call out your ideal students and make them feel special for joining your course. It further shows that joining your course is the right thing for them to do. For example, this course is for you if you're tired of working for other people and building other people's empires when you could be building your own with your own collection of online courses, while no course could honestly guarantee you will make money, my goal in this course is to make it as simple and straightforward as possible for you to succeed with making online courses by following a proven outlining strategy. This strategy was discovered from seven years of making tons of mistakes and finally finding something that works consistently. Alright. Example. Done. Now last, we're gonna break through any last objections your page visitors might have by adding the works. Even if section and this section you're basically just gonna list objections and say it works, even if you have so and so objection again, here's an example of how to use it. I originally designed this course toe work for my brother in law, who is an amazing cook but has zero experience with creating anything online. So this course will work for you, even if you are not very computer savvy, even if you've never made a course before, even if you're not expert or guru in anything and even if you don't know what to make, of course, about I made sure to break down every possible step I could think of. And if I miss something, I'm always adding Mawr based on student questions, so you'll definitely be covered and know exactly what to do to maximize your probability of success. Alright. Example. Done. Now last. All I have to do is say thank you and that you look forward to seeing them inside with an extra special tips video. Here's an example. So thank you for visiting my page, and I look forward to seeing you inside with a few special bonus tip videos. Thanks again. This has been pat para alright. Example. Done. Now you can optionally at any testimonials or program reviews at the end of your video and have them just playing for 1/2 hour until people by your program. If you don't have testimonials yet, you can add them to your sales video later. After you start getting your students coming in and that's it. You have your full sales video outlined now that you can try out and use for all your courses. Another option is to start your sales video with a story your ideal customer can relate to . A story can stop them and draw the men at the same time. You can use the story to showcase typical problems people have when trying to learn what you're teaching and then lead into your solution. And then, after your story, you can start at the Outlines section that makes the most sense based on what you already covered. So I hope that helps toe afford mistakes with sales video process. Make sure to create a 10 step outline and list general ideas you want to cover in each section. Then choose your favorite of those ideas and write your sales video in the order I shared. It's a pretty good outline that I used on my sales video for this course with great results , so I hope it helps you to. And if you want to see the full sales video, just look at the sales page of this course. All right, I'll see you in the next video 14. Intro To Online Course SEO For Beginners: S E O.

So now we're gonna type in how to make cookies, how to make cookies and then press get started. So we're gonna use this as an example of trying to find your main key word. Let's say our topic is how to make cookies. Okay, It looks like it gets 60,000 hits a month. That's a lot. I think ideally, we would want between 3 to 10,000 month. 3 to 10,000 month is easiest to rank for, But let's see what other keywords we confined. We're trying to find a main keyword that we can use as our title of our course that gets search for a good amount and maybe ISMM or unique tow us. Okay, let's see how to make sugar cookies how to bake cookies. So what I would do is I would copy this and I would go on to a no pad app because right now we're trying to find the main keyword. So how to make cookies has, say, 60,000. All right, how to make sugar cookies has 27,000. Now, this is a lot to this. Would that could be a main keyword on a bake. Cookies has 9900 that's actually a good amount to I would say anything over 2000 is great. How to make cookies from scratch has 5400 searches a month. Okay, so we're type that in and what I'm doing is creating a list of possible main keywords. And then I'm gonna pick the best one or pick my favorite one that I feel like is the most relevant to what I want to teach. How to make sugar cookies from scratch as 1300. So this would probably be a really easy one to rank for on you, Demi how to make sugar cookies from scratch because it only has 1300 searches a month.

But first, we're gonna try to find our main keyword making cookies. How to make cookies at home has 2900. I think this is a good Q. Were, too. I don't think anyone else is using this. So I have a few main keywords I could keep going and look for more keywords. But there's no one how to make fortune cookies 3600. So this would be a great topic for you, Demi to its over 2000 and it's under 10,000. It's actually under 5000 which is actually good, because I'm confident that I could rank for this keyword, depending on how many people are trying to rank for this.

How to make cookies, how to make family friendly raw cookies. Okay, they're not using the keyword exactly how to make a great first impression. Okay, So there's only one course on you, Demi that says how to make cookies. Only one course about cookies here, that showing up. So because of that, I'm confident that I could outrank this course. I mean, it has a lot of ratings, but I'm confident that my s CEO could beat this course and I'll show you again. How will do that? But first, I want to test out how to make sugar cookies. I'm gonna type in this one, but a copy this one and test out how to make sugar cookies again. We're trying to find the best, most unique keyword on your Demi to get searched for a lot.

So we could probably rank really well for this keyword that has 27,000 searches a month like this would be an awesome course to do. I really should not be sharing this with you because my wife could make this course and just kill it But anyway, I wanted to give you guys in a good example. But, man, I really shouldn't be sharing this, because now you guys will just make all these courses about cookies that pretty easy to do . How to make sugar cookies would be pretty easy to do 27,000 searches a month. And with you, Demi, you could get it ranked on the first page.

How to make gluten free cookies, but they're not using any really good keywords. They're using gluten free than cookies, but they're not using the keyword. Exactly. And what I recommend doing is taking this keyword in using it exactly in the title, and no one is really doing that. So this is a huge opportunity for cookies like it be really easy to rank for these keywords and destroy all this people and drank a lot higher. Here's macaroons. Yes, so cookies is a really untapped market, and again, I should be sharing this with you. But trying to be a good guy here.

Now, in the next video, I'm gonna show you what to do with these keywords. Your main key word in your Ellis I keyword to make sure that your course ranks on the first page of Google. All right, so go on to the next video toe, learn that. 16. What To Do With Your Magic SEO Keywords To Get On The First Page Of Google: So in this video, gonna talk about what to do with your magic keywords. So to help your course rank on the first page of Google, which you want to do is make sure to put the main keyword in the title for your course, for example, how to make sugar cookies at home. The main keyword is in the title, and then we just added at home to make it a little more unique. You can add other keywords following the main keyword to make it more unique than that, for example, how to make sugar cookies your friends will love. Next in the subhead section on you Demi right, a variation of your main key word with a little bit longer description. For example, learn how to make sugar cookies from scratch. Your family and friends will love you for next. For your main course description, make sure to use the main keyword in the first couple of lines. For example, this course will teach you how to make sugar cookies the easy and tasty way, then get into describing your course. And while describing her course and every other paragraph, try to drop in one of your Ellis I or supporting keywords where it makes sense. Use no more than six Ellis I keywords in the main description area. If you use too many keywords, Google won't like it, and they will think you were keyword stuffing, which is really bad. So make sure you only had one Ellis. I keyword every other paragraph and only use 4 to 6 Ellis I keywords for your main description. You can use the same Ellis I keywords as part of your lecture titles as well, and you can use the supporting keywords you didn't use in the description as titles for the rest of your lectures. You can also Sprinkle 1 to 2 supporting keywords in the description of each lecture as well . Writing descriptions for each lecture is optional, but you, Demi recommend you do this to help US CEO ranking on Google. So I think it's a good idea to add descriptions for most lectures and try to use 1 to 2 l s . I keywords per description. Remember, don't use too many keywords or could harm your page. So a quick recap use your main keyword in the title of your course and in the subhead use your main cured in the first line of your main course description. Use 4 to 6 Ellis I supporting keywords sprinkled throughout your main description and a quick tip. Once you launch your course with the key words, do not change your course title. This will mess up your course rankings, so make sure to pick a great title with the keyword research tool and you Demi's Marketplace tool and leave it. It can take a month or two to start moving up the ranks, but the traffic can last for as long as you Demi exists. So I hope that helped you find your main key word in your L. A. Psyche ward. And I hope you now know what to do with those keywords once you find them so that you can rank your you Demi course on the first page of Google. The only mistake to avoid is using the same key word that a lot of other courses on you Demir using for this example. No one was using any of the key words we were looking at, so we were totally safe. But if you're picking on a more popular niche, you want to be careful. If you're gonna use the same keyword to someone else that someone else hasn't their title. Make sure to add a unique variation to it or find a different related keyword that makes sense for your topic that no one else is using. All right, I hope that helps and continue on to the next video. 17. Choosing Your Best Course Image That Sells For You : in this quick lecture, I want to show you how to make a thumbnail for your course image that stands out. You, Demi does offer to make your course images for you for free. But you can usually do a lot better by making one yourself without an awesome thumbnail. Your course page won't be viewed as much. So the first thing we're gonna do is look at other course thumbnails in your topic. Search you Demi for your topic and look at the thumbnails. Then ask yourself these three questions. What colors are they not using that you could use to make your course stand out? What types of images are they using in their courses? What kind of image would make your course stand out more? Write down your answers and now let's go toe on splash dot com unspool ash dot coms where you can get tons of high quality royalty free and copyright free photos for your course Here. I'll give you an example. When I go to you Demi and look for cookies. The cookies are all one color, so I'm gonna try to find a cookie that stands out So I go on unspool ash dot com and search for cookies. Looking at you Demi's list. This one kind of stands out, so I'll use this one as my course photo. So that's it. Review you Demi for what everyone else is doing and pick a course. Thumbnail that pops. Avoid choosing a thumb now that looks like everyone else's, and you'll be good. Next, we'll go into how to launch your course for success. 18. The Proven Online Course Launch Strategy: your launch strategy. Launching your first course could be really difficult, especially if you don't have a clear launch strategy. Also, most people do not buy you Demi courses unless they have at least 1000 students already and have over a 4.5 rating courses with less than 1000 students and less than a 4.5 rating, take a long time to get any traction. This is why most new instructors give up on course creation. Social proof is also super important for sales, which is why you need reviews as fast as possible. At least 5 to 10 reviews there needed when starting out. So here's what I do to make sure every course I put out is profitable. First thing you want to do is leave the price of your course set to free, Then get your course approved by you. Demi, to make sure your courses approved your audio has to have all the background noise removed with audacity, and you can't ask people to leave you five stars in the actual course. Once your courses approved leaves your course free for the first month or two, keep it free or give out free coupons until your course has at least 1000 to 2000 students and make sure to get at least 5 to 10 reviews. You can get reviews from the free members coming in from your Demi, or you could invite friends to take your course. They have to go through at least half of your course to get their review accepted. Another way to get over 1000 students fast is with fiber. You can pay someone like 5 to $7 to have someone share your free course link with millions of people out linked to my favorite five gigs in the resource is section of this video. Or you could go to course tools that us to get my recommended fibre gigs for your Demi course promotion again, make sure to get your 1000 to 2000 students and at least five reviews before switching your course to paid or if you have a strategy to offer more advanced services on the back end and keep it free after your courses launched and the free coupons have circulated, you will have multiple links to your course throughout the Internet. Your course will be looking great with lots of social proof. And if you have done your CEO right like a showed in the title and description section, you'll be able to take advantage of you. Demi's organic Google Search ranking and over 30 million members. This is how you can have passive profit for years again. You can avoid problems by making sure your course offers a lot of value upfront, then let people know they can get more personal help or coaching from you. By joining your paid program, you Demi allows you offering a coupon toe another course of yours in the last bonus video. Again, make sure your course stays above four stars or it will be removed from your Demi search. I hope that helps you with your launch. Here's a quick recap. Do whatever you can do to get 1000 to 2000 students and 5 to 10 reviews with a free coupon link or by leaving your course free before switching to paid. Remember you. Demi Onley allows you to go from free to paid once, so that's why I think it's best to leave your course for free when starting out until you get enough students. I wish you a lot of success with your courses, and I'll see you in the next section 19. The Ultimate Best Selling Course Method: Now let's get into the ultimate bestselling course method so my wife might be mad that I'm giving this strategy away. You'll see why in a minute yet. Imagine if you could easily multiply your core sales whenever you want, without needing affiliates and without having to pay for ads. You could do this with a simple core strategy that I call the ultimate bestselling course method. Here's how to do it now that you know how to make courses quickly with the special software . And now that you know how to use s CEO and keywords to make sure your courses rank on the first page of Google, I think you're ready to learn at a multiply your free organic traffic and sales for life and be able to add to your free traffic whenever you want. It's really simple. All you have to do is think of more related topics in your niche and make more free courses , each targeting a different keyword and each driving a lot of free traffic toe a paid course . Remember I told you my favorite strategy was making a free course that leads to a paid course. Well, what if you had multiple free courses, all leading to your one master paid course. To do this, all you would have to do is use the Google keyword planner to find more highly search for keywords in your niche and target one main keyword per a free course. For example, remember the Katie's cupcakes free to paid strategy? It went like this. A free course teaching how to make basic vegan vanilla cupcakes, leading toe a paid course that teaches how to make 3 to 5 fancy cupcakes. So, in addition to the vanilla cupcake strategy, I would recommend Katie at another free course, teaching how to make plain chocolate vegan cupcakes and another free course teaching how to make basic carrot vegan cupcakes and another free course teaching how to make coconut vegan cupcakes. Do you get it? Now she has four free courses, each targeting a different keyword in her niche and each bringing in tons of free traffic from you, Demi and each leading to Katie's Master Cupcake course, where she shows how to make chocolate rum filled cupcakes and cinnamon. Sure, oh, cupcakes and the fancies to vegan cupcakes. It would be such an easy sell, too, because her students will have gone to know like and trust her. Her students would already have felt a transformation in their cupcake making skills, and her students would now have the confidence to make more advanced cupcakes. It's a super easy sell. And whenever Katie wanted even more traffic, she could simply make another free course related to baking desserts like a free vegan cookie baking course that leads to her fancy vegan cupcake course. Do you see how powerful this is? Do you see how much control you have over your financial future if you're willing to put in a little work? Hopefully by now you feel like making online course could be a little easier and that making all these courses as possible, especially when you have mapped out a solid strategy for yourself. So how much money could the strategy potentially make will first have to say this legally and realistically, I can't guarantee you will make any money at all with this or any other method. There's a 1,000,000 things you could do wrong, like bad keyword research and picking unpopular topics. But the number one thing that could prevent you from having success with this method is not trying it at all. So yeah, I can't guarantee you will have success with this, But let's check out a hypothetical scenario just for fun and entertainment purposes. So let's say you have four free courses on average, I'd say a free course could bring in 1000 free students a month on your Demi, depending on your niches. Monthly search volume, of course, is But let's be conservative and say you only get 500 free students a month. Per course. Four times 500 is 2000 students a month. And again, let's be super conservative and say you only get 2.5% of those free students a month to buy your paid course. And let's say you make sure you make at least $20 per sale from your paid course. So how much money would that bring you Month after month? Well, 2.5% of 2000 is 50 sales a month, 50 times $20 is $1000 a month for life. As long as you're free and paid courses are getting good reviews. That's pretty good. Of course, you could charge even more like you could charge $100. Fear paid course, and you now be making $5000 a month in passive income from all free traffic. You set up once using a quality strategy, leveraging your SDO skills and the over 30 million students on you. Demi also you Demi students will probably close to double each year, which means your profits could grow as well. Does that sound pretty cool? Of course, you could make this strategy even bigger by adding people toe a membership site with recurring pay or having multiple paid products. If you'd like to learn how to do that as well, you can find a free training on membership sites on course tool. Start us. Remember when you have that much free traffic coming in, what you can do with it is Onley limited to your imagination. So I hope these examples have given you a good start with visioning. How you could use this strategy for your own business. It's something I'm totally guilty of, not implementing yet to its full potential. But this year I'm very focused on making this strategy work for my courses and my wife's new courses. So I hope this strategy has helped you see some new greater potential and what you could do with your online courses.

Bye. 21. Scheduling Your Course Creation: scheduling your course creation in this video, we're going to discuss scheduling now that you know how to build an online course and all the parts that go into it. Let's discuss how you can schedule out your course creation process for success. Schedules are really important because beginners without a simple, clear schedule almost never get their course done. I recommend for your first course to give yourself two weeks or a month after you've made your first course. It will be a lot easier to finish your courses in a week. So here's a good example. Schedule for finishing a course in 10 days if you want to take longer, just at a few days for each section, the most important part is having a clear launch date. So set your launch date 2 to 4 weeks from now and map out this order of events. So, for example, the first day it will be market research on your Demi. After confirming people pay for your topic, decide on your core strategy for success. Is your goal to make passive profit and up sell toe a membership site or something else? The second day, start trading your outline and figure out the best order for your course sections. Third day, Finish the outline and begin breaking down the outline into baby steps for slides. Remember, you can do this with a numbered list on your phones. No pad app. On the fourth day. Turn your outline into slides for each video using the recommended video software. Or you can use Google slides for free. If you're using Google slides, you'll just have to manually enter and format each slide on the fifth day. Record audio for each lecture with audacity, Or you can use quick time. If you're talking over Google slides on Day six, Edit your audio files with audacity on Day seven. Drop all edited audio files into the video creator and sync Audio to slides. If you're using Google slides, upload your raw screen video anti movie. Edit out all the mistakes there, then export the audio of your eye movie. Edit that audio with audacity to remove noise, then re upload your good audio in Thai movie. Sync up that audio, then mute the original bad audio and then you can export all the videos from my movie. That's if you're using Google slides so make sure to save all your course videos in a new course folder on your computer. On Day eight, you could make your sales video with the video Creator software or use Google slides on the ninth day. Do your S E O research with Google's keyword planner, Right, your course description and title for each lecture. Then upload all your content videos. Teach lecture on you, Demi. On the 10th day, you can launch your course for free on you Demi and keep it free until you get 1000 to 2000 students. Or compare how many students the biggest instructor in your niche has and wait to get close to them or more. Now, congratulations. Your course is done. As you think, More strategies you can do with your course. You can always add more later. The first month is all about getting feedback, learning what your students like and possibly what is missing. I usually add 1 to 2 more lectures based on the student responses after the first month. This improves my overall rating because it makes the course feel more complete for students as all of their questions are answered. All right, I'm excited for you to finish your course. Making your first course could be life changing. You really learn so much. So now you have all the steps you need to make your course of success. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me in a you Demi message. I'm totally happy to help. All right, Thanks again. Continue on to the next video. 22. Method For Coming Up With Your Best Online Course Idea : first, I'm gonna quickly give you a method for how to come up with your course idea without being an expert or guru and anything to start write a list of 10 subjects were interested in. It could be something you're good at or something that you've been really into studying recently. For example, I don't know much about the stock market, but lately I've been really interested in learning about it, so I would write the stock market on my list. Another example is this course. I've only made about seven courses. Two of them were complete disasters, which is why I only have five courses live. Most successful. You Demi instructors have made over 25 courses. Yet it's something that I'm interested in. I've been doing for a while and have learned a ton from my mistakes and successes. So I made this course for family members, friends and people who know a little less about making courses than I do so I would add, making online courses and the stock market to my list. Now let's go to step two. Once you have your list, put one check mark next to the topics you really love and would enjoy spending more time. Learning about Step three is focusing on just the topics you check marked and pick which ones you would enjoy helping people with. Basically, put another check mark on the ones you would enjoy teaching. Now take all the topics with two check marks topics that you love and would enjoy teaching and pick one that you think would be easiest to start working on right now because I recommend making your first course small like 1/2 hour long to give yourself the experience of creating a course and the fastest way possible. Completing your first course will build your confidence because you feel a lot more ready to build more courses after finishing one. Also, you will learn so much about the workflow. This way you'll know how to plan your next course. Even better, It definitely is a skill that you can develop overtime, and obviously the more courses you make, the more passive income you could potentially create. Now, in the next section, we're going to figure out how well your course ideas can pay you 23. Market Research Real Demonstration Example Part 1 : Okay, Now that you have your course topics, we are going to see how profitable they are To do this, we're gonna use you Demi's marketplace tool. You can find the marketplace tool by going to the instructor dashboard. Once you're an instructor, dashboard click on marketplace in sites. So now you want to do is copy and paste the topics that you came up with that have to check marks next to them. We're gonna see which one of those topics is the highest paid on you, Demi. So, for example, I've been wanting my wife to do a course about cupcakes. So I'm going to search for cupcakes on you. Demi cupcake Baking pops up. So that means other people are teaching cupcake baking on you Demi. So now you wanna do a scroll down, and what you can see is this student demands the number of courses in the median monthly revenue. As you see here, nobody's making any money from cupcake baking, and there's not really a lot of demand for it. So that's already a big red flag for this topic. As you can see, it's one of the least search for things on your Demming. So if we scroll all the way down, you can see there are two courses about cupcake making on your Demi, and neither of them are reviewed very highly, and it looks like their marketing. It's not very good because they don't have a lot of students or reviews. So because of that, I think we're gonna look for a different topic. Okay, so now I'm gonna think of something related to baking that my wife also enjoys. So how about cookie Baking? Cookie bacon is showing up here. My wife likes to make cookies, so now we're gonna look at how cookie baking ranks on you. Demi. So already it's saying that this is a fire opportunity. With student demand is high, the number of courses are low. The median monthly revenue is there's not really any median, and the top monthly revenue is $942. So this is a huge difference compared to cupcake baking. People are actually making money selling cookie courses. You can see that people are searching for it A lot more. If you remember before was a lot less people searching for cupcake baking. But a lot of people are searching for cookie baking, which is pretty cool. These are the keywords thes air, good keywords. Note these air different topics that my wife could teach, like she could teach how to make macaroons, how to make cake So these air popular topics she could make something on gluten free cooking or gluten free baking. Looks like that's popular on you, Demi. And if you scroll down, there's a lot, Of course, is it looks like this course right here as a ton of students because they have 514 ratings and then a 4.7 rating, which means people are buying this and liking these courses. This person has a 4.9 rating just getting started out with gluten free cookies so you can see there is a demand for cookies. And this looks like a great opportunity because there aren't that many courses doing well right now. So all my wife would have to do is look at these top courses, see how she could make something slightly different, but similar. So instead of saying, let's bake gluten free cookies using Whole Foods, she can write how to make amazing gluten free cookies in less than 20 minutes, right so she could do something like that where she could just change the title. So I don't know if that's realistic, but that's something that she could do so again, As you can see, a lot more people are looking for cookie baking than cupcakes. And we would not have known this if we didn't do the market research with the marketplace Insights on your Demi So this is something that you could do with your topics. Search them here and you can see what you Demi's recommended. Topics of interest are and compare them and you can see which one of your topics has the top monthly revenue, so I hope that helps and continue on to the next video. 24. Market Research Part 2 : so I hope you like that last demo video of the free marketplace in sight Tool in new Demi. Now you can try the same method with topics you were interested in. Find out which one has the highest paid instructors because that lets you know how popular the topic is and gives you a sense of how much money you could potentially make. Starting out, I would go for making at least half of what the highest paid instructor makes on your topic . If that amount of money looks good to you for your first course, then choose that topic and go for it. Also pay attention to the keywords people are using the search for your topic and make sure to use these key words in the title For your course will discuss how to title your course later on. For now, take note of the popular keywords on you Demi related to your topic. Now that you have your topic, let's get started creating your ideal course to create your course. You may have to do a little research on the topic, but that part can be fun because you have chosen a topic you love anyway. good places to do research are Reddit, Quora, YouTube and, of course, Google. Also read What famous people in your niche have to say. Just search for people answering questions related to your topic. Find a few answers that you feel simplified the topic, and in your course you will organize the best info. So it makes sense for beginners, starting with basic foundational info that progresses into more advanced ideas as you go on in your course. Remember, almost successful courses are a collection of free information found all over the Internet and organized in an easily digestible way for students. So your main job is a course creator is an organizer and curator of content. This is why you don't need to be an expert or a guru. You just need to be great at organizing and simplifying content. We will cover how to organize an outline, your course for most success coming up now, in the next lecture, we're going to design the best strategy for success with your course 25. How To Speak For Success : So before recording your audio, there is a mental trick you can use to help you sound more natural. Ideally, you want to sound like you're having a conversation with someone, and not just reading slides robotically to help your students feel connected to you and your training. The best thing you can do is imagine talking toe one single student like picture, your ideal student in your head. What did they look like? What is a into what are their fears? What are their goals? How did they like to be talked to? You could even imagine talking to someone you know that fits your ideal student vision for this course. I'm reading it like I'm talking to my brother in law. He has never made a course before, and I want to make sure it's as easy to understand as possible. So who is your one person? Imagine them being in front of you as you are speaking through your slides. This will help you sound more natural, and students will feel like you are talking to them and not the entire world. So use words like you when speaking and avoid phrases like, Hey, guys always address only one person this way. Everyone who goes through your course will feel special, like you are giving them to secret info on Lee available to a good friend. So the mistakes to avoid in this section is reading the slides without thinking of one single student speaking to more than one person with phrases like, What's up? My people avoid that there can be only one. This is also a really popular rule for high level copywriters for reading your sales video . All right, now go on to the next lecture. 26. My Best DIY Audio Recording Set Up To Copy: Now we're gonna get into how to record, edit and upload your audio to your videos. Audio quality is really important because of the audio is bad. You damn it will not allow you to host your course on their site. A big thing you Demi wants you to do is remove any background noise in all of your videos. I'm gonna show you how to do that in the next lecture. The good news is you don't need an expensive mike set up. Here's a picture of my super cheap set up. All it is is a small box, a towel and a $40 USB mic. I used the box to put the mic closer to my mouth so there is less room noise. The towel is to dampen the sound, so there is no echo. The mic is a super simple USB mic. I use a foam filter used for a normal mike to put on top of the USB mic. This lessens the pop sounds. You could also use a sock again. The mike I use will be listed in the resource is section or at course tools that us now in the next video, I'm gonna share how to record your audio 27. How To Record And Edit Audio With Audacity For Free: alright in this video, I want to make sure you understand how to record and edit your audio. So I'm gonna do a quick recap of audacity, the audio recording software that you can use to record audio, edit audio and then add the audio to your videos whether you're using the software I recommend or Google slides. All right, so the first thing you want to do is download audacity and you'll be able to find a link to audacity on course tools that us or you can just google search audacity. Once you have audacity, it will look like this. And what you want to do is just press file and then new. And then it will open up a browser that looks like this. Before you start recording with audacity, you want to go into your sound settings. So on, Mac, I just go to system preferences and I go to the input section and I make sure that my mike is chosen. So I selected my mike here and then I want to adjust the input volume to make it so. I have about four bars of headroom. This is pretty good. I have 3 to 4 bars here. So the main thing we want to do is make sure the mike doesn't peak. This is a good place you want to stay. So again, make sure you have 3 to 4 bars of head room so that your mike is not peeking. Once you have that set, you can go here and press record. Usually when I'm recording, I like to read off. My notes will go on my no pad and read off the note pad because I find it's easier to do that instead of reading over the slides. Because this way, I can easily see what's coming up. And it's easier to flow the words that I want to say. So I recommend reading off your no pad and then adding it to the slides later. Okay, now, once you have your audio recorded, you can play it back to check out sounds. Usually when I'm recording, so it sounds pretty good. Now I want to show you the editing process to make sure your courses approved and just the simple way to edit your audio so we want to do is select part of the audio where you're not saying anything we're trying to do is capture the background noise. So if I press play, I'm not really hearing anything, but maybe a little bit of the background noise. I'm hearing the sound of my refrigerator in the background. So I want to remove that. To do that, I just select this area where I'm not talking. Then I go to the fact area up here, Click that it will drop down. I wanna click noise reduction that I want to click. Get noise profile. You can leave all these settings the same. Copy. The setting that says no introduction. 12 Sensitivity six frequency smoothing three. You gonna keep this all the same? It will automatically be at this level. Then click Get noise profile. So it got the noise profile. Now you want to press command A to select the entire audio, or you can go up here, press select, and then press all that will select the entire audio. Then you go back to effect and say repeat noise reduction. So now what that has done It just removed all the background noise. Next thing I'd like to do is add a little more base to make the audio sound a little more full a lot of times after I reduce the noise. It kind of sounds like a tin cans. I want to make the audio sound more full, and I do that. But going into the equalization effect and I saved this setting, you can copy this setting. But what you can do is go toe bass boost here, and I like to lower this down to about around three decibels here. Then I'll click this little added like a little button, and you can mess with this and just kind of copy of my settings. Once you get a setting, you like, you can preview it and see out sounds. Usually when I'm recording read that sounds pretty good. Once you find a setting you like, you can click on save, and you can title your audio so that you could have it in the future for whenever you want . So you don't have to keep on creating the settings once you find it sitting liking to save it and then select it every time. So that's what I do. So I'm gonna go back to my you Demi course Audio. This was the you Demi course Audio ahead and I press. Okay, right. Next thing you want to do is go to compression in the effects section, go to compression. You could leave it at negative 12 or negative 14 db. Either way is good. Negative. 12 is fine. And you just copy my settings, leave everything on checks and then press OK Doesn't really do much, but I think it helps out a little bit. And now all I do is go to normalize. Normalizing brings the audio to a normal level that supposed to be at the level of what stuff you hear on the radio just about the same volume, just like a normal volume for computers. So people can easily hear it at any level on their phone or on their computer. Then I press okay and in increase the volume here, See? So now I have Ah, loud audio. You know, usually when I'm recording, I like to read. All right, so now I have my audio. The other thing I like to do is sometimes there's some parts that are too loud. Or maybe there's little cliques in between audios, So I'll go to amplify and I'll go too negative too. And this will allow me to reduce the noise. And so what I can do is I can repeat, amplified by pressing command Are so any sections that I feel like you're too loud, like this section right here I compress command are and it will just lower the volume on that section. Now that we have the audio edited and the noise is removed, all we want to do is just cut out all the mistakes. So you select it and just press delete. So what I do is just select areas, Prestley, any kind of mistakes that I've done. I just delete them. And this is the tedious part. You just have to go in the audio. I like to cut out any kind of breath noises or any kind of, um, zor mistakes so that the audio is really tight and I get to the point as fast as possible. So that's audio editing. When you're done editing your audio and cutting out the mistakes, you just go to file export and I can export as a MP three or a wave all export. This is MP three, and this will be my test audio and I'll export it into my folder. Then all you have to do is go into the software click on the project. You wanna at it, go to the timeline. Then you click this button that says, Add audio and you'll be able to choose the audio you want to add. Once the audio was added, it'll be put right here, and then you just press the tick marks to sink it all up. So if I play this audio here and this course, you're gonna learn how to make high quality courses that people love. So now I have a clean audio that I could put all the slides to, and this is basically the last step. And then once I have the audio done, once this video is done, once the audio's all sink up to the slides, all I have to do is click, save and then publish. I choose where I want my video to be, and I wanted to be in my final course video section on my slide videos section, and then I just press open. I'll title this welcome video test, turn the video quality all the way up, and then I press OK, and it will export my video. I've already exported this video, but that's it. Once the videos edited and exported, you confined your video and check it in your folder and welcome to making online courses without being on camera and this course you're gonna learn how to make high quality courses that people love without showing your face. All right, so the video looks good. That's how to edit your audio. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions and continue on to the next section. 28. The Free Way Of Creating Online Course Videos: All right, So in this video, I want to show you the freeway of making your core slideshow videos using Google slides. So what you want to do is search for Google slides on Google, and then you'll get to this page, you click on, go to Google slides, and that'll take you to this page where you could pick what kind of presentation you want to make. Let's start with a blank presentation. All right, so now we're in Google slides, and as you can see, they already kind of give you a format in a template to put your text in where you are going to be editing this. So the first thing I want to do is get a background for my slides to make the slides look a little nicer. So what I'm gonna do is choose an image from my computer, go to upload, pick this photo. Here is a background I have for my videos. All right, so now we have the background of our slides. So I used to make courses with this. I don't usually do anymore because it takes longer, but I wanted to show you guys this because it's free which conceiving money, It's just not as quick. Next thing I want to do is pick a layout that I like. So I'm gonna go toe layout and I think four slideshow video. I will pick this layout where I just have text in the middle. So I picked this layout where the Texas in the middle. And this is the one I am going to be using. OK, so now what I'm gonna do is duplicate this, cause I know I'm gonna be using this was going to duplicate the slide maybe a few times duplicate. So now we have slides to work with. So for this example presentation, What I'm gonna do is go to my example, slides and just gonna copy and paste them into the slides. Now, this is just nothing serious. Just joking around. I'll make the text little bigger and go appear to the number and make text a little bigger . Drag that. All right. Thank you for taking my course will duplicate that. So the formatting can be a little tricky with Google slides sometimes. But once you get it, not that bad. In the next video, I'll show you a faster way but I'll just keep adding my slide text the slide. Just copy and paste it. Here it is copying and pasting the text in here. All right, so now I have the text in there and I want to add an image to add an image. Where you want to do is click this image. But it kind of looks like a picture right next to the text box. You click here and then I want to upload from the computer and I will go to my desktop. I'm going to my image folder and I think I like this funny photo put this year on the slide . Shrink it a little bit. All right, here's a picture of a horse to show you. I care. There's copy and pasting the text from my slide outline. I'm gonna just this real quick. I believe in you now, copying and pasting the last text. As you can see, this kind of takes a while to do this and Google slides. But if you're a pro at Google Slides, you can make it go faster. But I don't use this ah lot, so I'm not that fast at it. Okay, great. So Now we have our slides. Thank you for taking my course. I really appreciate it. Here's a picture of a horse to show you. I care. I believe in you. You can do it. So now, to turn that into a video, what I would do is go to quick time. Press new screen recording. Since I'm already recording a screen recording, I can't do it, which you would do is press new screen recording and then click on the screen and you'll be able to record the screen. And what you would do is, you know, having your mike set up. You would read through these slides and then turn that into a video, just would have to edit the video and I movie. So in the next video, I will show you the editing process. 29. Course Video Editing Demo: All right. So now I'm in my movie, and I imported the video that I edited so you can use whatever editing software want to use and just import the video. So now we're gonna do is just edit this clip dragon onto the timeline. And what we want to do is just cut out any, um, pauses, any unnecessary things. And also, we're gonna need to crop this video first because there's edges that we don't need on there . So I'm gonna go here. Crop video. Make sure it's just the part that I want in the video for up that like that. All right, so that looks good. So the cropping should be done. Now it's all in frame. So now if I play the video, there's a big pause. So I want to cut out that pause by just splitting the clip here on I movie. I selected a press command be and that will split the clip. There was a mistake there. So again, you want to do zoom all the way in. So it's easier to see and command B is your best friend repress command and hold the letter B and then you'll be able to split the clip where you want to and then still lead it. So I'm just gonna go in here and split the clip and drag over to get rid of all the blank areas to make it type. So I'm getting rid of all of the blank areas here where I'm not talking. You can clearly see that I'm not talking by looking at the audio waveform and let's see how it is so far. Protect my course. Really? Here's a picture of a horse to show you care. I believe in you cut out that part little quiet area that we don't need And I'm gonna trim the end and just drag this in So it's tight. And now let's look at the final video. Really appreciate. Here's a picture of a horse to show you like care. I believe in you. You can do it. All right, so that's the video. It looks okay. Now we need to edit the audio for this clip because they're still background noise. And you, Demi does not like background noise in the clips. So to export, just the audio you press file scrolled down to share and then press file again. And now what you want to do is go to the format section where it says video and audio. Click that and then you'll build a scroll down and pick audio only. So we're just gonna export the audio in. Ah, wave files. Fine. You do MP three, but wave file is probably best Some call this audio press save, and now it's exporting into my folder. So as you can see, this is kind of a longer process. But don't worry. I will show you a quicker way coming up. Okay, so the audio's been exported. Now I'm going into audacity. Audacity is the free software that I recommend using for editing. Audio joint is click file and import and then goto audio find where your audio is. Open it. Sure. Now we're gonna edit the audio of this file just to clean it up and to get rid of any background noise. So first we want to do a selected area the audio where there's not really any noise and we want to click on noise reduction. Click, get noise profile with get noise profile. It got the sounds of the background noise and now we're gonna press command a or appear select all. And now we're gonna go to noise reduction again and just press. Okay, so that got rid of the noise. Now we're gonna do some e Q by going to effect equalization. And what you can do is click on the bass boost and just adjust the base area here, make it sounds a little more full. So let's see how that sounds in the preview. Really? All right, so that sounds pretty good. I'm impressed. Okay, so that kind of fattened up. This sounds a little bit. Now I'm gonna compress the sounds just to kind of get the sound kind of a little more level sound a little more cleaner. Now we're gonna go to normalize to get the audio I usually have normalized. Have these two first two things checked to negative one decibel. So it's not too loud. Seven at negative 1.0 db. So that increased the volume to a more normal volume. That kind of compares with all the other audios. Thank you for taking my course. So there's the audio. Sounds little loud, but I am going to export this anyway as ah wave file, and this will be I'm a right edited, so I don't forget that it's been edited already. Press save. Okay, now, the last thing we have to do is go back to my movie. So now we want to find the audio we just exported and just drag it in, drag it into the project. Now we want to make sure that the audio syncs up with the original audio. Thank you for taking my course. I really appreciate it. Looks like it syncs up. I'm gonna I'm gonna turn it down a little bit to see if it syncs up perfectly. Really? So that looks good. It looks like the audio syncs perfectly. So now we're going to turn off the audio of the original track. Just turn that down. I'm in a press file. Press copy. Then when a press shift, hold it down and drag all these And what I want to do is go to edit, go to paste adjustments, click volume, and that will end it all the volume of your slides so that they should all be at zero now. Okay, So if I turned down a new audio, the original audio is gone, I'm gonna turn up the new audio again. So now the new audio that we replaced the old audio with is live. Thank you for taking my course. Really appreciate. Here's a picture of a horse to show you like care. I believe in you. You can do it. So that's the video, and all I have to do is export the video. Make sure you select video and audio. I wrote edited on it to make sure that I remember which one it is and exported. So that's how you make a video with Google Slides. You just make your video on Google slides, record the screen, upload the video. So I'm movie, added out all the mistakes, then export the audio, edit the audio, re upload the audio and then export that and then you will have a finished video. And that sounds like a lot. So I'm gonna show you a faster way that makes making videos a lot easier in the next lectures coming up. So continue on to the next video, and I'm gonna show you a faster way of making videos. But for people who want to save money, who don't have any budget at all. Like if you don't have the $150 that it will take to buy the software and the mike, then this freeway can be really good. It will take longer. But if you're just making short courses to get started trying to build your passive income with you Demi courses, the Google Slides method can work really well. So I hope that video helped you figure out how to make slideshow videos for free. So let's go to the next video and see if we can do this little faster with a helpful software.
