What goes into making a successful online course?  Welcome to the first of a series of episodes, where Tara shares the 5 Essential Secret Ingredients For A Successful Online Course. The key is not to only sell your online course but is also about turning clients into returning raving fans. An effective online course should, first and foremost, have a clear Goal/Transformation. As you guide them to that goal, there needs to be built in feedback and recognition, opportunities for them to take action and practice, and clear milestones or targets for them to work towards along the way. Finally, and most importantly, you should be able to know the areas where your customers/students will struggle (we call it “the dip”) and have a plan for helping them move forward. Having a very specific goal or transformation baked into the results of your course is what will move people to pay for your solution instead of just googling the information they think they need. If you are struggling with putting your results into the form of a goal/transformation, instead of thinking about the information you want to teach, think about the problem you want to solve.
