Knowledge is power
Knowledge is power
(You’ve heard that before)
That’s because it’s true!
We make decisions based on the
knowledge we have
Do you want this bike or this bike?
What if…
This one has newly replaced components…
What if…
This one has newly replaced components… …and this one’s were about to go out?
More Knowledge = Better Decisions
At Teachable,
we know
knowledge is
unique and
valuable
So we built a platform that lets you share your skills and experiences
CREATE A COURSE NOW
As a team, we’ve watched
over 12K course launches
We have access to
the hard data for
all of our schools
We’ve interviewed our top instructors, picked
their brains, solved their support issues
We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t
And we’ve come to one pretty
incredible conclusion
There is 1 tried and true,
tested method for building
& launching your course
Of our 5K teachers, the most
successful all use this technique
Even if they teach VERY
different things like
watercolor painting,
launching businesses,
or programming
And we’re going to share it
But, before I get into it…
We’re hosting a FREE webinar
where we’ll talk about how
to create & sell your course
the right way REGISTER NOW
Ok, back to
those steps…
FIND YOUR PROFITABLE COURSE IDEA
STEP 1
Some people have no
idea what to teach
?
Some people “know”
Some people think they’d be
great teachers at everything
What are you good at?
Consider this:
What are you good at?
Consider this:
What credentials do you have?
What are you good at?
Consider this:
What are you passionate about?
What credentials do you have?
Then think about how you will provide
a transformation for someone
A course is simply a
shortcut to an outcome
As long as you provide a transformation,
teach whatever you want! We’ve seen it all…
Consider Charlie Hoehn…
Consider Charlie Hoehn…
In 3 days Charlie promises to land you your dream job. THAT’s transformation.
Next you need to validate &
refine your idea

SET YOUR INCOME GOALS
AND PRICE YOUR COURSE
STEP 2
Here’s the secret to making more money…
Charge more
Here’s the secret to making more money…
Feel guilty over
charging for your
course?
Cut it out!
We investigated what teachers
can do to increase engagement
Price your course
Answer:
If your course is
valuable and high in
demand, there is no
reason why you
shouldn’t charge for it
You are a limited resource!
Goal: $10,000
Goal: $10,000
If you charge $10, you’ve got to teach 1,000 students
If you charge $50, you’ve only got to teach 200
Goal: $10,000
If you charge $10, you’ve got to teach 1,000 students
Students take time and management
Fewer students
Fewer students
More personalized attention from you
=
Happier Students, Happier You
Fewer students
More personalized attention from you
=
=
CREATE & RECORD
YOUR COURSE CONTENT
STEP 3
The best way to plan out
your course is to write
down a step-by-step guide
for how to do something
Each step becomes a module in your course
Each step becomes a module in your course
Check out
Mesh’s course
With Teachable, you can upload text,
PowerPoint & Keynote presentations,
videos and audio interviews
GET YOUR SCHOOL ONLINE
SO IT’S REAL
(NO TECH SKILLS NECESSARY)
STEP 4
Find a
course
creation
platform.
It must…
Create BEAUTIFUL courses that conveys
trustworthiness and authority without
any technical skills
Give me ownership of the course domain name
so I can bring people directly to my website
Be mobile responsive
Give me total control over my students.
(This is probably the most important point)
Some platforms, like Udemy, discount your
course without your knowledge or permission
Check out Allison’s
infographic
I also want the ability to accept payments on day one
Guess what, you can do all of this on
Teachable within 5 minutes and all for FREE
CREATE A COURSE NOW

GET YOUR FIRST 1,000
SUBSCRIBERS & GROW YOUR
INITIAL AUDIENCE
STEP 5
Build your email list by giving away something
valuable for “free” in exchange for an email address
After you deliver awesome value to someone
with your FREE content, some percentage (we
hope it’s a lot) of those people will want to
actually buy your next product

As Gary
Vaynerchuk says,
you’ve got to jab,
jab, jab and then
right hook aka.
give, give give
(content) and then
make the pitch.
Let’s look at
Angela Fehr.
Let’s look at
Angela Fehr.
She taught watercolor painting
through YouTube and wanted to
start making money from her
massive following
Rather than adding advertisers that
would lower the quality of her product,
she mentioned that she had an online
course next to her videos, filtered her
audience from YouTube to her course
She now makes
between 2-8K
every month
LAUNCH YOUR COURSE
TO YOUR NEW AUDIENCE
STEP 6
Ready for
a surprise?
Ready for
a surprise?
Sell your course
before you create
all of your content
and everything in your
course is finalized.
All you need
to sell your
course is a
well designed
sales page
Don’t take our word for it…
As Bree Noble said: “I was able to pre-sell my online course (Female Musician
Academy) to 15 people at $290 new students told me that my Fedora school
was so beautiful that they could tell the course was going to be amazing.”
With a sales page,you can move aheadwith a tactical emaillaunch strategy

GROW YOUR COURSE BUSINESS
STEP 7
Now’s the fun part.
It’s time to grow your tribe.
You can do this a few ways:
EmailPersonal NetworkJVs/Partnerships
Deal websitesGuest post on blogsWebinars
Webinars
A webinar is essentially a free live training
You can promote
this event to your
list and others, but
the training should
lead up to a
discounted offer for
people who tuned in
Mariah Coz
All the pros do this…
Lewis Howes Scot Britton
Guest Posts
With a guest post or webinar you
provide high-value content for free to
someone else’s following
With a guest post or webinar you
provide high-value content for free to
someone else’s following
AND you gain exposure with their
audience and can include a CTA to
your own product
Deal Websites
There are numerous
deal websites where
you can list your
product
Approach
this method
with caution
Approach
this method
with caution
It attracts a low
quality user
However, these
are customers
you might not
have otherwise
Deal websites:
Bits Du Jour Groupon
Stackcommerce The Next Web
Academy
Marketplace
Joint Ventures & Partnerships
Like a guest blog post, joint ventures
and partnerships allow you to
leverage someone else’s audience
Offer affiliate deals to someone
in the same vertical who has an
audience
Do this by contacting
an influencer in your
industry and offering
them a percentage of
income for every deal
they bring in
Personal Networking
Don’t forget to tap your
own personal network
Any kind of growth strategy is a way
to take your course to the next level
Research tried and true methods,
invent your own or check out our blog
each week for researched posts that
will help you grow your audience
