Steps in this guide

  1. Brainstorm what you want to teach
  2. Name your course
  3. Craft an offer
  4. Evaluate your ideas

1. Brainstorm what you want to teach

Start with your central topic. What kind of photography do you do? What inspires you about it? What is the key message or idea you want to communicate through your course? What do others come to you for advice about? What topics do you wish to learn more about yourself? This is your starting point. It might be just a rough idea at the moment or something you want to explore, but this brainstorm will help you see how far you can take it.

Now it's time to tap into your creativity. Don't worry about evaluating your ideas yet, that will come later. Simply generate as many ideas as you can think of. Sometimes it helps to communicate your idea with an image or a video reference.

Finally, select the idea that excites you the most, and put the other ones for future reference. You can always revisit them later.

Make a note of the most promising course topic idea. Usually, it's the one that makes you most excited.

First, open the Class page

  1. Create a new class for your course topic.
  2. Make a note in CLASS DESCRIPTION that describes your course topic in 1 to 2 sentences to get started.
PRO TIP: Teach what you know, love, and what people want to learn. This way, you'll have a bunch of course topics you could start putting together today.

2. Name your course

A clear, catchy, and benefit-focused title helps people to make a decision quickly. It grabs their attention and makes them stop scrolling and say, "Yes, I want to buy it!". Use powerful words to trigger emotions and the response that gets them to read, click and buy.

Name your course

Now's the time for evaluation. Run through the topic ideas again, and do online research if it is in demand. Are there any competitors offering similar courses? Can you find any books on the topic on Amazon?

You can also ask people if they like it and explain why. Be prepared to welcome suggestions and make improvements. As you work on the offer, it's important to find someone motivated enough to pay money to learn about it.
