People Are Attacking Online Courses
Here’s why (and how) you should still make one
Some online courses feel icky to me.
I’m not alone. Last week, I read three articles ripping into webinars and courses. (Yes — three.) They all made fair points, particularly about their marketing.
However, I don’t like how they singled people out.
Shaming won’t fix the problem, and it deters others from creating courses. I don’t want this to happen. I believe everyone has something they can teach, and everyone should create a course on it — even if it’s not perfect.
Before we get to creating and selling online courses you can be proud of, here are the benefits.
The benefits of creating online courses
Making money in your sleep is an obvious benefit. It’s the reason I started. However, there are others.
Collaboration opportunities
I’ve co-created two courses to date, and I’m working on a third. The most recent is an SEO Fundamentals course with Zero to Mastery — a global academy of 500,000+ developers.
