  • All The Successful Biz People Are Offering Online Education (Follow what works)

So ladies and gentlemen, let’s get this party started and dive right into each of those amazing reasons on why you should build your online course right now.

If the world falls apart, and it kind of does every 6-10 years as we experience economic crashes (which you can’t avoid and run away from), you can be sure your online course business will survive.

 

Have you been a therapist, teacher, consultant or a coach and have been seeing clients offline pre Corona? Well, now it’s the best time to start an online business and set up yor online course empire so you can serve even more people than you have ever before. They need you!

 

And for those who aren’t coaches yet, you can very quickly become one.

4. Become Location Independent (Work From Anywhere)

Yepp, you can just pull out your laptop and start your workday from the beach or simply from the comforts of your home if you wish to do so. 

Location-independent freedom is probably one of the most attractive benefits which come with being an online course creator. All you need is a laptop and a stable internet connection. Period.

The people who complained about “working on the internet isn’t a real job” are the ones which are out of work right now. I have been living an international lifestyle and working online since 2012 now and I can tell you, it is a real job and sometimes even more challenging if you travel around a lot. 

Despite travelling from country to country, it’s amazing how much time you can save not commuting daily to any office location across town. You will have so much more time at hand which you can reinvest into building your business or simply spending with friends and family. 

 For example: 

 

• ConvertKit is a great funnel builder which triggers email sequences automatically once someone downloads your freebie 

 

• ThriveCart is awesome to collect payments, to set up an affiliate system and to automatically let One-Time-Offers expire. It’s also integrable with Thinkific, which lets students enrol into your programmes on autopilot once they paid you via ThriveCart 

 

• Tailwind is awesome to schedule your Pinterest pins and to show you very valuable data about your account 

 

• Jarvee helps tremendously automating any other social platform

6. Serve More People On a Larger Scale (Online Courses Are Scalable to The Moon And Back!)

Since you have kind of cloned yourself into an online course, you don’t have to repeat yourself over and over again to your clients. You can simply share your video content with many more people and let them go through the content in their own time, which means less work for yourself. 

If you are a coach or a consultant, you can also use your online course content to serve any new client as a form of “onboarding” or as an “introduction” to your services. It basically serves as your “core” or “signature” content which any of our clients have to go through in order to understand the fundamentals of whatever it is you are teaching them. 

You will be amazed at how many questions people have for you, which can be simply answered in your main course, which will eventually save you countless hours of repetitive teaching. You will have more time to either focus on deeper coaching with your students or spending the spare time you have elsewhere. 

7. Position Yourself As An Authority In The Space (Amazing For Brand Building)

Claiming you are an expert in something and not having an online course to offer will make you look like an amateur nowadays. 

Why? Because people want to see that you have studied your craft inside out. Knowing about a topic is one thing, but creating content about it and actually teaching it in a way so that students will get results is a completely different story. People will look at you in a completely different way. 

You can look at it as your new business cart. Having an online course which teaches people a topic in-depth positions you in the market as an authority and makes you stand out from your competition.
