Let’s talk about FEAR. I meet so many people that want to create an online course but are afraid that:

no one will buy it.
there are already too many courses on the same topic.
your topic is unusual, silly, or can’t be taught online.

If you fit the unusual, silly, or can’t be taught online fear, then I encourage you to reconsider, because I found some really cool and interesting topics that are currently being taught online and making money.

Fun, unexpected, unusual, and exciting online courses:

Hula Hooping
Death (Taught by Yale and it’s for free)
Drawing
How to date — Course description: “My Course Is Based On Decades of Research And Real World Experience. It’s Also Cheaper Than A Restraining Order”
How to drone
Neuroplasticity: How To Rewire Your Brain
Hogwarts Training (from Harry Potter)
Aquaponic Gardening: Growing Fish and Vegetables Together
Self-Hypnosis
How to make love in 7 days
Immigration! Applying for a “U.S Family Based Green Card”
Self Defense
How to gamble
Faith & Finance
Listening to Music
Street-Fighting Math (Taught by MIT)
Gun training
Strip and Growth Rich

This is why I LOVE online learning so much. It gives people access to content that interests them or improves their life in some way.
