8. Get feedback from your students. They'll tell you how to make
course better.
9. Use one course to promote other courses you offer. There will be plenty of opportunities within
course to tuck in suggestions for further learning opportunities through you.
10. Once your courses are done, they'll be self-running and this is a great source of passive revenue. Turn
logistics over to a VA. You'll answer
responses yourself, which may sound overwhelming, but here's a fact--adult learning being what it is, many of
students don't make
responses, so it won't be as taxing as you think.
11. Use your correspondence with
students to promote other things that you do. I send
URL each week with an e-note containing further information, notice of other products, and geto-to-konw-you chats. In this way I get many clients for my coaching business.
12. Love it or don't do it. It shows. A distance learning course can be a very personal experience--or should be--for
student. Your enthusiasm for your subject, and for your learners must show.
13. Fiddle with
pricing until you've built a faithful clientele base. There's a lot out there for free that you have to compete with. Until they understand how exceptional and different your learning opportunities are, you may have to give away or deeply discount your courses.
It's a great new field. Jump in and have fun!
