If you've taken an online course recently, you've probably noticed that they're anything but educational. Instead, it seems they're more interested in impressing you with their expertise than actually helping you to accomplish your goals.
That’s because they’re not teachers. They’re not educators. They’re just experts.
It turns out... creating a truly effective online learning experience is more challenging than it seems.
Effective online courses don’t focus on the solution... with the thing that makes you more clever than everyone else. Instead, they begin with the audience you seek to serve, a problem they seek to solve, and a path to achieve the result they seek.
In 2008, I launched WP101.com, one of the most popular WordPress tutorial sites in the world. Since then, more than three million people around the world have learned how to use WordPress with the help of my online training videos.
Over the past 15 years, I've experimented with just about every LMS and membership software out there. I've learned what it takes to create a great online learning experience and to serve a community of students.
I enjoy helping course creators get clear about who they serve best so they can create more impactful online courses and turn their knowledge and expertise into recurring revenue. Need help creating an online course? Let's talk!
