The first step to design online courses is making sure you have an offer people want. To do that, you have to ask them. If you don’t have your own audience already, you can borrow audiences.
A trick I use every time I design online courses is I find groups within Facebook or within LinkedIn. Groups that have a similar audience as the course I want to create.
Next, you want to test the market. You do it by asking people. You survey an audience and see if people are interested. You go into those Facebook groups. And you say, “Hey! If I created this course on this or this or this topic, which one would you be most interested in?”
When you design online courses, make sure you are testing the market. You’re asking what people want, and you’re putting out quality surveys to see if people are interested in your offer.
I’ve created something that’s going to help you not only design online courses but sell it online as well. It’s not just about designing the perfect course but it’s also getting it out there to the world in a bigger way.

How To Design Online Courses Tip #1
The first step in designing your online course is you have to make sure that you have an offer that people actually want. Because of people don’t want it, then, people aren’t going to buy it.
How do you make sure that you have an offer that people want? Well, you have to ask people. You have to reach out to people who are in your audience. You have to ask them, “Is this something that you would be interested in if I created it?”
How To Design Online Courses Tip #2
If you don’t have your own audience already, don’t worry. You can borrow audiences.
Now, this is a really special trick that I use every time I go to create a course anyways. I find groups within Facebook or within LinkedIn. Groups that have a similar audience as the course I want to create.
For example, if you’re a weight loss coach and you want to put out a course on weight loss. Then, join groups on Facebook and on LinkedIn that have to do with weight loss.
How To Design Online Courses Tip #3
Next, you want to test the market. Now, you think that you want to spend a year or a couple of months creating a really good course but that’s not the case.
Here are words of warning. The first year I tried to put out my first course to the world. I spent a year creating the course. I thought, “If I create the best course that’s ever been created, then everyone’s going to want it and everyone’s going to buy it!” Well, I’m really ashamed to tell you that wasn’t the case at all. Nobody bought that course because I was only creating a course that I wanted to create. I didn’t test the market and see if people were actually interested in it.
So how do you test market? You ask people. You reach out. You survey an audience and see if people are interested. You go into those Facebook groups and you say, “Hey! If I created this course on this or this or this topic, which one would you be most interested in?” You’re going to be surprised by the results. I promise you.
Every time I put out a survey to an audience, I’m always surprised at what people want. It’s never what I think.
Make sure that you are testing the market. You’re asking what people want. And you’re putting out quality surveys to see if people are actually interested in what you have to offer.
