Whether you’re a teacher, creative, or entrepreneur, Lindsay shares practical advice on choosing your course topic, understanding the difference between courses and memberships, and the power of solving meaningful problems for your audience. If you’ve been dreaming of launching an online course but don’t know where to start, this episode is your roadmap to success!

In this episode, we’ll discuss:

1. Why Online Courses Work

Online courses and memberships provide solutions to bigger problems, making them a significant source of income and impact. Lindsay explains the difference between self-paced courses and memberships, and how to test what works best for your audience.  

2. The Power of Niching Down

Specificity sells! A course tailored for a niche audience, like “social media management for pet groomers,” is more compelling than a general course on social media.

3. Practical Tips for Course Creation

Start by identifying your niche and the transformation your audience needs. If you’re unsure how to start, consider Lindsay’s free training: 5 Steps to a 5K Launch.
