The path
The skill comes first. A course is a way to package expertise, not a way to get it.
- 1
Get really good at something people pay to learn
Years
A trade, software, a language, fitness, design, cooking. Years of doing it, with results you can show.
- 2
Teach it for free, in public
6 months to 2 years
Videos, posts, a newsletter or answering questions in forums. You learn what people struggle with and who trusts you.
- 3
Sell something small first
1 to 3 months
A live workshop, a guide or a cheap first version. Proof people pay before you film 40 lessons.
- 4
Build the full course from what students asked
2 to 6 months
Clear outcome, short lessons, exercises, and a way to ask questions. A French version can open Quebec.
- 5
Keep marketing and updating
Ongoing
Sales stop when posting stops. Old material drives refunds.
