How to create your own online course

You’ve been wanting to add a course to your offerings for ages now (far longer than you wish to admit).

You’ve got a head FULL of knowledge and plenty of experience serving clients so you know your processes and content work.
You might even have got part way already. Maybe you’ve put some files aside, maybe even recorded some videos (and if you haven’t started yet, that’s fine too).

But you’re feeling a little stuck

The thought of creating your own course feels a little overwhelming.

And your newsfeed is probably full of people promising you that courses can make you millions overnight, but you’re feeling a little sceptical.

“Write a course” get’s pushed further and further down your to do list. Each time you look at it, it just feels like it’s in the too hard basket right now.

You know you want to create something awesome… not something average or half assed. You want the people who take your course to get real results and you want to be proud of what you’ve put out into the world.

And I get it, I really do.

It’s time to get that damn course off your to do list and start making some money from it. It’s been there long enough.

You’re in the perfect place…

I was fed up of seeing people just like you struggle to see how a course could work for them, but not knowing where to turn to get realistic information.

And to be honest, I was fed up of seeing people being lied to.

I’m here to tell you that courses don’t have to be big, and they don’t have to be scary.

But I’m also here to bring a dose of realism (I know, that’s not a sexy thing to talk about on a sales page!)

My focus is on build quality courses, not just pumping out passive products quickly with an aim to make cash.

We’ll focus on creating clear learning outcomes, on making actionable content, and on supporting our students along the way… because that’s what gets them results, and creates raving fans for you.

I’ve been building courses for over 10 years now, and have worked with 1000’s of clients to help them take the content out of their head and structure it into an online course.

Which is why I created “How to create your own online course”.

This course will cover...

Module 1 – A great course starts with a solid foundation. In this module we set learning outcomes, do our research and understand your students.

Module 2 – A good map helps guide the way. In this module you’ll learn how to break your content down into modules and chunks which are just the right size for your participants.

Module 3 – You can’t have a course without content. In this module we talk video, audio, pdfs and all that stuff that goes into making your course content.

Module 4 – Sometimes the technical bit feels like the hardest step. In this module I help you make an informed decision about which platform to use, and guide you through the pros and cons.

Module 5 – The review process is essential for improving your course and ensuring it works. In this module you’ll learn the different methods for course review.

Module 6 – Courses don’t magically sell themselves over night, as much as I wish they would. In this module I give you strategies and techniques to help you sell your course.

Module 7 – A great course isn’t passive, it’s support. There are lots of ways you can support your students, even without you being there live. In this module we focus on course support.

I can't even begin to share how incredibly valuable it was to have Sam's expertise to bring out the best in my online course. Having a parenting course means that the people enrolling are time poor and exhausted and need the best ever flow and structure to help them navigate the learning and feel calm and inspired at the same time. Sam's feedback was around things I hadn't even considered and would never be considered because while I'm brilliant on content, structuring online courses is not my zone of genius.

Who is this Sam Winch...?

That’s me…
if you say my name too fast I sound like a
popular lunchtime option.

I love helping others to create their own amazing courses and workshops. I work with passionate people just like you, to take all of that “stuff” out of their head and turn it into a course. With over 16 years’ experience training others, I can make the process quick, easy and plenty of fun.

My background in retail management means that I’ve been managing and training teams of 30 – 100 since I was 18. When I escaped the world of retail I realised that it wasn’t the sell that I had loved, but teaching others.

Since then I’ve worked with members of the Australian Defence Force, Emergency services, Government departments and the Surf Lifesaving Foundation. Training, facilitating and building courses and content, to suit diverse environments and audiences is a huge part of what I do.

Sounds great Sam, but are you qualified?

You know what… in the past 10 years of being self employed, no-one has ever asked me for my qualifications… but, if paperwork is the kinda thing that floats your boat, I hold the following qualifications:

Certificate IV in Training and Assessment
Diploma of Vocational Education and Training
Diploma of Training Design and Development
Certificate IV in Life Coaching
Diploma of Management
Diploma of Retail Management

Legend. That's Sam in one word, but here's a few more to explain why! I'd wanted to create my signature course for 2 years and had so much content that I'd developed for my coaching clients, but I was unsure how to condense it into an action-focused program that people could DIY and still benefit almost as much as having me as their coach. I was stuck on how to move forward and had been looking at different tech platforms for what seemed like months! Sam took all my content and distilled it down into a plan for my Business JAM course, choosing the pieces that were needed and highlighting what was missing for me to produce. She set up the course for me, saving me so many hours, days, weeks. Sam also guided me on the choice of tech platform to support my broader business as well, so I have a great membership site where clients can consume courses and coaching programs. I'm thrilled with the result of Business JAM and the feedback I've had from my clients has been amazing as well. Couldn't have done it without Sam - she made the whole thing so much easier! Highly recommend her. She's a superstar.

This is for you if...

This is for you if:

You want to create an experience… not just “an online course” Because a course isn’t just about sticking videos and Pdfs online, it’s about really supporting your participants to reach their outcomes. It’s about creating change, and influencing huge shifts.

You know that this is going to take some work. Building the content and getting it ready will take time and work, and you will need to make it fit into your days and weeks.

If you are ready to let go of the excuses and just get this thing done. I get it, you’re busy already. Me too… trust me, with 4 kids, a business to run, and a partner who works in the defence force and isn’t always home, I get it. But you know what, I don’t want that to hold me back from achieving the results I want to achieve. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

And it isn’t for you if:

You want me to do it all for you. (I can and do build courses for clients, book a consult call with me here and we can work out a tailored solution for you… but this program isn’t it.)

You just want to chuck some videos online and make passive income. There are people advocating that you can chuck a couple of bits together and call it a course… those people aren’t me. I want you to create a valuable, educational experience. I want your participants to love your course. I want them to learn from it. I want them to give you raving testimonials. I want you to create something amazing. (It will probably include videos and pdfs, but it will be a lot more than that. )
