Most of the clients I work with already have A LOT of content, and I’m sure you’re the same. Blog posts, long-form social media posts, eBooks, videos, all those files you’ve drafted and never done anything with. You’ve got content coming out of your ears. So, rather than start from scratch, let’s look at how …
I’m probably going to upset some people with this post, but it needs to be written. There IS a difference between creating a great course, and just putting content online. Sure, you can put some videos and pdfs online, you can even drip feed them over a period of time, but that doesn’t make it …
What’s the difference between just content, and a course? Well, quite a few things.

So you’ve created all this content, but what do you do with it now? For a lot of people, the hard part of creating an online course, is the “online” bit. In this post I’ll talk about the 3 main ways you can get your course online, cover the pros and cons, and give you …
“How much does it cost to create an online course?” Well… how long is a piece of string.
