Woohoo, we are on Day 6 and we are jumping right into Building your course!
The information provided is from my own experience and may not work for everyone. I am not a professional nor claim to be. Please read my disclaimer for more information.
Creating your own course can be a game changer for your personal and professional life. It allows you to share your passion with others, establish yourself as an expert in your field, and generate income, so I am so happy that I get to share this with you!
Okay, so now that you have your topic, we need to develop a detailed outline of your course that includes:
Introduction,
Overview,
Learning objectives,
The main topics,
Subtopics,
Conclusion,
Call to action
This will help you stay organized and focused as you create your content.

Once you have your outline and have reviewed it, start putting your content whichever tool you desire.
The great thing is there are a variety of content types including videos, written materials, interactive exercises, and quizzes. You can use tools such as PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Adobe Creative Suite to create presentations, videos, and other materials for your course.!
Follow that outline and ensure that your content is engaging, informative, and easy to follow.
NEXT, choose the tool to create your course! Make it come alive!
This to me is exciting because this is what I love to do - design! But don't worry, you do not have to be an expert to choose a platform or to find a place to host your course.
I use Squarespace due to the fact that they have a ton of options and they are so easy to see with their drag and drop format but there are quite a few options.
Here are some below!
Course creation software: Tools like Teachable, Thinkific, and Kajabi are specifically designed to help you create and sell courses online.
They offer a range of features including course creation, hosting, payment processing, and student management.
Presentation software: Presentation tools like PowerPoint or Google Slides can also be used to create courses with text and images.
This is what I choose to use , but you can integrate multimedia elements like videos and audio recordings into your presentations and export them as PDFs or other formats.
Website builders: If you want more control over the design of your course, you can use a website builder like Squarespace or Wix to create a custom course website.
These platforms offer drag-and-drop interfaces, customizable templates, and integrations with other tools like email marketing platforms and payment processors.
Any of these will do! I am actually using PowerPoint to build out my course and Squarespace to host it, but you can choose what is best for you.
Getting ready to launch your course!
Once your course material is complete, it's time to launch it! In tomorrows email in our 7-day series, we go over hosting your course and your options - promoting your course through social media, email campaigns, and other marketing channels to attract potential students so make sure you open that email!
Overall, creating an online course can be a rewarding experience that allows you to share your knowledge and help others achieve their goals.
Collect feedback from your students to improve your course. When you use this feedback, you can:
Make updates and revisions to your content,
Add to your platform with advice or requests from your clients,
Add to your marketing strategies,
Put great testimonials on your website,
And get an overall idea of what your audience is looking for!
