Transcripts

1. Introduction: I like to welcome you in this very short class right here in which in just 10 minutes, we're going to be discussing how you turn your passions into profit through online course creation, through packing them into courses. More specifically, we're going to be analyzing the framework on how you can create launch and scale your online course in just seven days. And again, all of the information and all the framework is going to be shown in this quick class right here. So thank you very much for being here, seeing the lesson. 2. Creating - Launching and Scaling Principles: The past three years, I've brainstormed shot, edited, aloaded, and launched more than 22 courses by myself and generated more than $33,000 from this small bedroom of mine right here, without spending a single dime, by the way, in ads, without having any followers, I just started with a camera and something to teach, right? And I'm sharing all of the knowledge that I've gained. Those three years without obviously the mistakes that I've done right in this video right here. So in this video, we're going through the whole process on how you can brainstorm, create, launch and scale your online course. And again, seven days, right? Because all of the information that I'm going to be giving you, it's going to be self based. So if you work hard, you will be able to achieve and actually aplod your first course in the next seven days. Right? I'm very happy to have you here. Let's go through the exact process that you need to follow, the step by step process that you need to follow in order to achieve this. So first of all, Regarding the course creation process, one thing you need to know is that what a course really is, it's just ten imagine ten YouTube videos, right, condensed and packed as a digital product. That's all pretty much what's going on with courses. It's just YouTube videos, Valuable, of course, not YouTube videos, but in the same format as YouTube videos, valuable informational content packed and distributed as courses. This is what an online course is, right? So the first step into creating a successful online course, as you can see here is research. You need to understand what is your passion, right? What are you passionate about? Because at the end of the day, you're gonna be talking about this, and you're going to be teaching this. So you might as well choose something that you're passionate about and you love teaching. In my case, this was videography, this was camera, this was lenses, video editing, all that stuff. I really, really like the stuff. So this is what I tought three years ago when I started out this course creation journey of mine. Once you figure out what your passion is, and the best way by the way to figure out what your passion is is to imagine when do you enter the flow state the most, when you're doing what? So this activity that helps you enter the flow state, which is the state, if you will, that you're working so hard that time, that this thing of time evaporates and you just so focused and you love what you're doing. This is the flow state. So usually whenever you enter the flow state, this is usually your calling or your passion, if you will. Right? Once you identify what your passion is, what you love teaching, or what you would like to teach at least, you need to understand also that are in the course creation niche in the course creation field, there are some topics that are more hot than others that are of high demand. Because at the end of the day with our courses, we're infiltrating markets, and we're helping people solve problems with the information that we've got, right? So obviously, there are bigger problems, and there are smaller problems, there are more hot problems and of course, problems that are of not that high demand. Right? So you need to understand what are some hot topics. You're very lucky at this point. This is something that I didn't know back in the day, but big online course market places such as Skillshare, you might have heard of Skillshare and Utmy. Those are platforms, if you will, that allow you to upload your course there completely for free. And we're going to be talking about those platforms later on in this video, they actually release their in demand course topics. So they literally tell you right what courses they want you to create. And this is absolutely amazing, because if you manage to pair a whole topic on Skillshare and tomy with something that you're passionate about, you have the recipe to find huge success in this online course creation Niche. Now, keep in mind that this information that I'm sharing with you in this video right here, it's just one of the things that I share clients that I work on a 11 basis that I coach on a 11 basis to achieve the exact same results that I have done through grading courses again and monetizing their passions. If you're interested in this, you can check out the first lining description, I have more information there more testimonials of my previous clients. So you're very welcome to check this out, right? So regarding research, what you want to be doing again is to combine something that your passor is about, and something that you love teaching with again, hot topics from Skillshare and Utam. You can find by the way the links for Skillshare and Utam hot topics, the pages that they suggest or the hot topics in the description of this video in the first. Then we're moving to the creation process. So once you know exactly again, what you love teaching, and what it's hot on skills and tomy, it is time to create a course. So the first thing you can do is that you will outline, if you will, for your first course I always suggest people to outline a ten lesson course again, in which every lesson is ten to 15 minutes long. This is the best way for you to not get overwhelmed by having millions and millions of lessons in the course and millions of modules and so much information. It's easy. It's going to the duration of this course right here of a ten lesson, ten to 15 minutes again, each lesson course. It's going to be about an hour, which is perfect, right and it's going to sell, right? So after you've outlined the course, for example, if you're teaching video editing, the first lesson is going to be an overview of the video editing software. Then you're going to move in the tools. Then you're going to move into how to import and export clips, right? Then you're going to move into creating, if, again, the course as you The course that you decided to create isn't something that needs to be screen recorded, for example, again, a video editing course or a coding course or 100 design fum nails on Canva course. If you don't need to screen record your course, and your course is a bit more theoretical, right? For example, an entrepreneurship course or a course on which lenses are more value for money, right? I highly suggest you to create actually PowerPoint presentation to visualize your points and give to your students a visual representation of what you're talking about. So go ahead and create one powerpoint presentation for each one of your lessons. And later on, when you're going to be creating those lessons, you're going to be screen recording this PowerPoint presentation and going through the sides. This way, this power presentation will also act as a script for the course, so you don't need to script every single lesson and waste a huge amount of time on scripting every lesson of a two hour course, for example, what's going to be a nightmare. Right? So this is how you're going to be creating a course. Again, outlining a ten lesson course in which every lesson is ten to 15 minutes. Then you're going to be creating a PowerPoint presentation, if you will for each lesson. If your course is more theoretical. Again, I tend to create powerpoint presentations for my courses. This has worked perfectly for me in the past. And then You're also going to be shooting and editing an introductory video for the course, right? And what an introductory video really is is just imagining small commercial in which you just go through what's going to be happening inside the course, the value that the viewers and the students are going to be getting from your lessons, and you're pretty much selling the course, if you will for people to enroll in it. This is going to be the video that people and students when we aplod the courses in online course marketplaces are going to be seeing before they enroll. So before they purchase the course, they're going to be seeing this introductory video. So you're also going to shoot an introductory video. By the way, more information on every single step of the process can be found in this channel right here that you stamp across completely for free. So how to shoot introductory videos, how to create power presentations, how to outline your course lessons to have videos, 10 minutes, 15 minute videos of all of this process right here in this channel right here. Again, you're welcome to check them out. Then after the creation process, we're moving into the uploading process. So by this point, you have researched your course. You have created ten lessons that are ten to 15 minutes long each. Right and now we're ready to upload our course. Where do we upload our course is one of the most common questions that I get. And one of the biggest problems that people have one of the biggest limiting beliefs that they have is that they think that they should upload their course on their own website. They should host their course in their own on their own website, right and sell from their website. And this is wrong. I never suggest this for beginners. Why? Because you're going to be paying 100, 200 bucks a month every single month to host this course on your website without even knowing if there's demand for the scores, right? And you don't even know how to populate your website without paying for ads, which's going to be just a logistical nightmare and a huge expense for your online course business. And it's the dumbest thing for me to start just wasting money on ads, wasting money on your website, before even making a single die from your course. Before even testing if this course is going to sell or not. Right? So what are we going to be doing? And what I have mastered and what I teach on my one on one program, I were going to be uploading our courses on online course marketplaces, such as Udemy again, Skillshare, course era. And again, big platforms that already have an ecosystem building them of students that want to learn, right? But they're looking for courses to be uploaded there. They're looking for teachers like me, like you to upload their courses there and saturate this field, right? Because it's very, very unsaturated.
