The Biggest Mistake Course Creator Make When Creating Their First Online Course

September 20, 2019 in Blog

Are you ready to rock the digital world with your online course? Well, hold your horses because today, I want to talk about the biggest mistake many first-time course creators make.


I've been building membership websites and online courses since 2012, and I've seen it all. The biggest mistake I see people make is treating marketing as an afterthought. I've seen countless course creators pour their hearts and wallets into creating amazing course content and fancy websites, only to realize too late that they don't know how to market their course, or worse, nobody wants it.

So, what's the solution? Before you dive into creating a complex course, test the waters first. Talk to your target audience and make sure your course idea is something people will actually buy. Then, create a simple course and launch it as soon as you can. Don't worry about dripping content or creating a fancy website. The key is to test if people will actually buy your course.

Once you've got your first members, you can start tweaking and improving your course content. But remember, the most critical thing is to get started and test the waters. And, when you're ready to launch, choose a platform that is easy to scale and will serve you over the next few years as you grow your online courses and membership.

If you have any questions or want to discuss your course ideas further, I'm here to help. So, schedule a free consultation, and let's chat about how to get your course off the ground and into the hands of your target audience.
