HEY THERE, COURSE CREATOR!
If you’re reading this right now, you probably have a killer idea for an
online course that you want to release to the world.
You have unique knowledge or expertise that could really help someone,
and you’re ready to create a passive income stream through teaching
what you love.
Maybe you’ve been thinking about it for a while, or you’ve started your
course but it’s taking WAY longer than you expected.
It seems like there are a THOUSAND things you need to write, set up, and
understand before you ever make your first dollar – from email funnels &
webinars, to finicky tech and software, to Facebook ads and social media
promos.
To help you get crystal clear on EXACTLY what you need to create, launch
& sell your first online course, I’ve put together this handy little blueprint.
This blueprint walks you through each and every step of launching your
profitable course in 90 days or less – without the overwhelm – so you can
get the dang thing launched & start creating consistent monthly revenue!
If you want to build a profitable online course, then you need an audience
of ideal customers to sell it to!
This is the very first step in building a profitable online course business,
and it is the FOUNDATION of the whole thing.
Building your audience takes time, which is why this is step #1 in the
process.
For example:
Once you’ve done that, do a deep dive on researching your ICA – aka your
Ideal Customer Avatar.
Knowing your ICA inside and out will help you create the EXACT
course they need to solve their biggest problems and hit their
desired goals,.AND it will make it 1,000x easier to get your messaging
right so you can get them to BUY when you launch your course.
CHOOSE YOUR PLATFORM
The reason most aspiring course creators never launch is because they
get too overwhelmed by all of the things they’re “supposed to” get done
before they launch.
Before you ever talk about your course to your audience, you need them
to:
KNOW
LIKE
& TRUST you
And in order to build the KLT factors, you provide them tons of value
through your content!
They say that someone needs to hear from you at least 7x before they’ll
buy from you, so creating valuable content and getting it in front of your
audience CONSISTENTLY is key if you want to make sales.
Depending on your chosen platform from above, you’ll be posting
valuable content 1-7x per week.
fI your platform is Instagram? Aim for 3-5 valuable posts per week at
minimum.

OUTREACH STRATEGY
If you want your audience to grow quickly, you need to use social media
to get SOCIAL!
Find ideal customers on your chosen platform and reach out to them
to start a conversation. This could be following them, engaging with
their content, leaving thoughtful comments, or sliding into their DMs.
Aim to spend 20-30 mins per day to reach out to new people and
nurture those relationships and you’ll grow FAST.
CREATE YOUR LEAD MAGNET
(& START YOUR EMAIL LIST)
Things can change quickly on social media, and at the end of the day we
DON’T own our audiences on social media platforms.
Which is why you’ve probably been beaten over the head with, “You need
an email list!” time and time again...
That way, you have DIRECT access to your ideal customers’ inboxes
whenever you need to get their attention (like when you’re ready to
launch your course), and algorithm changes don’t cramp your style.
To get your followers onto your email list you’ll need a lead magnet or
freebie.
The BEST lead magnets address a single pain point or problem your
ICAs have, and delivers them a quick win.
A video
A mini-course
A webinar
Once you create it, promote your lead magnet to your audience
frequently! Stick a link to the signup page in your IG bio, your YouTube
video descriptions, and anywhere else you can think of.
Break the content down into important modules and individual lessons.
Write your mini sales page or sales letter that you’ll be sending out to your
email list to get them to buy.
Like with your outline, you want to include a few key things in your
messaging:
Did you know? It’s actually a super BAD idea to create your course first
and then sell it.
It’s true!
Smart course creators pre-sell their course BEFORE they spend weeks
or months creating it, so they can walk into the course creation process
knowing FOR SURE they’re creating something people actually want to
buy.
Now we want to present them the idea for your course and ask them
to BUY.
You want to ask your ICAs to put their money where their mouth is and
enroll in your course – before you create it!
You’ve validated your course idea and enrolled your first students!
Hooray! Now on to the course creation process:
Your course needs a place to live online, and there are lots of course
hosting platforms to choose from.
I have experience with two and can highly recommend them both:
TEACHABLE KAJABI
I used Teachable for a number of years and now host my courses with
Kajabi. It’s mostly up to personal preference & budget so choose
whichever one you like best!
Now it’s time to buckle down and create the MVP version of your course!
I want to emphasize that the goal with your MVP is to get it done
QUICKLY, get it out to your students, get their feedback – and
improve & iterate for your next launch.
When it comes time to release your course content to your students, you
can either…
Teach it live every week and then add the recordings to your course
dashboard
^ This is totally up to your personal preference and the way you like to
teach.
Creating great courses is an iterative process, and the best courses are
shaped & molded over time with the feedback from your students.
You did it! You created your first course, enrolled your first cohort of
students, and made some sweet $$$ from selling your unique knowledge
online.
What next?
You grow that little seed into a big strong tree that brings in consistent
monthly revenue and allows you to have a greater impact by helping
more students solve their problems & achieve their goals.
Here’s how...
You sold your course live the first time, but did you know you can set that
on autopilot?
You’ve already got a head start growing your audience on your chosen
platform and you’ve got a lead magnet or freebie to grow your email list.
Now we just need to add a funnel to the mix and then focus on scaling
your audience growth!
You’ll need to set up the following pieces for your evergreen sales
funnel to bring in sales on autopilot:
An audience-growth accelerator plan to bring in a stream of new ICAs
High-converting landing pages for your freebies
A pre-launch email sequence to prime your ICAs to BUY
An automated webinar training that converts followers to buyers
A post-webinar email sales sequence to make your offer irresistible &
close the sale
Plus high-converting sales pages, deadline timers, expiring bonuses,
and more.
Once you get your Evergreen Sales Machine up and running, it will sell
your course and generate profits on autopilot. Once that happens, you
can focus on your audience building & email list growth strategies to scale
your course business to six-figures and beyond.
I’ve given you the 30,000 ft overview of the four steps of launching &
selling your online course business – but there are a lot of little details
you’ll need to get right if you want to launch your course in the next 90
days.
Most would-be course creators never make their first sale because they
get so overwhelmed by all the pieces they need to put into place and they
have no idea where to start.
To help you get your course out there, I’ve created a program that will
provide you with EXACTLY what you need to eliminate the confusion &
overwhelm and get the damn thing launched!
f your platform is Instagram? Aim for 3-5 valuable posts per week at
minimum.
