Course Lab: Lessons from Successful Online Course Creators

Show Notes

Special "business revenue leak checklist" offer, free at http://www.mrse.co/leak.

Donna Kozik is on a mission to get you published. Donna created the original Write a Book in a Weekend virtual event and now leads five additional “in-a-weekend” style programs. 

Hosts Linda Claire Puig and Ari Iny explore with Donna the dynamic business growth possibilities that derive from in-a-weekend events, as well as the practical structure of the weekends. The three of them brainstorm a variety of niches that could employ this strategy. 

In this episode, we discuss:
  • How to host events that help attendees achieve a desirable goal in one weekend
  • Why guiding people through a project from start to finish actually creates a new, urgent need…and how to position a higher-priced offer to be the no-brainer next step for your attendees
  • How to design your weekend program to be “just right”—enough content to fulfill a promise your prospects can’t resist, but not so much that they become overwhelmed
  • And much more!

“We're all creative, right? That's why we're here.”
– Donna Kozik

What is Course Lab: Lessons from Successful Online Course Creators?

Want to create a hugely successful online course, one that has a major impact on the lives of your students? If you want to learn how to create online courses from the best, you turn to Mirasee; and if you want to host that course, you can’t go wrong using the powerful platform, Ruzuku.

Ruzuku co-founder Abe Crystal and Mirasee founder and CEO Danny Iny know what it takes to stand out and be successful in the online courses industry. And now they’re teaming up to share this intel with you in their new Course Lab podcast.

In every episode, Course Lab showcases an entrepreneur/course creator who is nailing it with their online course -- and not because they’re teaching people how to make more money. In fact, most of these creators occupy unusual or overlooked niches, like music, writing for video games, overcoming inherent bias, and finding your life purpose.

Turns out, the key to their success all comes down to their online course design. In this podcast, Danny and Abe reveal the most important design tactics that are making all the difference for these online course creators -- and how you can implement them in your own online course. So if you want to create a successful online course that changes the lives of your students, this is your big chance to learn how it’s done from the best in the industry!
