Top 5 Myths of Course Creation

  1. It’s hard work- to be honest people over complicate course creation. You literally take your passion and expertise and pair it with what people want to learn. For example if you’re really good at savings hacks and you’re a couponing fanatic you’re taking what you already do and monetizing it.
  2. You have to be a teacher. You don’t have to have any formal experience with teaching . I think the word “course” contributes to this myth. Look at course creation as a chance to piece together things you already work on. The best part is you can choose how to deliver the material (whether written, video, audio, slides etc.)
  3. I am not licensed or an expert. The definition of expert is someone who has gained their expertise from experience! So take some time to consider what experience you have that could contribute to your expertise. And here is what I say all the time - your job is to simply be one step ahead of your audience and when you are you are able to educate and teach
  4. There are already a million courses on that subject the world doesn’t need another one. There are 1 million BMWs in 1 million mansions but that doesn’t make people not want to drive them or live in them. I recently read two totally different financial books and got Insight from both. The truth is your course will have your perspective your view your content and all of that makes your course Unique even if it address is the same subject as someone else’s. And the reality is your audience will want to learn from you. Do not let someone else’s course keep you from creating yours .
There are a ton of myths when it comes to course creation. This is why I wanted to address the biggest ones to let you know that your course is validated. It’s not by accident that you’re considering this idea. It’s not by accident that you have this level of expertise or the passion. Don't hold all that information inside it’s time for the world to hear your voice.
