For 10 years, George Kao has created, taught, and effectively marketed dozens of online workshops, courses and trainings. This masterclass gives you George's complete methods and access to a private support group to help you create and launch your own online courses.

Creating online courses is one of the most fulfilling activities we can do.

More than ever before, students of all ages are seeking to learn online, for a large variety of topics.

By creating online courses, we bring together a body of work that can positively impact more people than we could with individual work, and also provides a recurring income that supports us financially. 

The key is to make it easy on yourself to launch and learn. By holding an experimentation mindset, you’ll be able to observe what the market wants most from you, and which courses you should launch.

In this masterclass, I will teach you everything I know about this process, sharing my decade of experience with you, and answer your questions so that you’ll be confident in launching your own courses.

You can join this class even if you’ve never created a single course. You’ll learn everything needed to launch lightly, and how to gradually improve your courses.

By taking this class you might just yourself years of struggle and failed experiments!

In this program you’ll have access to a supportive group of peers who are fellow course creators. You’ll find lots of encouragement, mutual support, and opportunities for partnerships to get your course to a much wider audience.

You will be learning:
​
  • How to decide on a course topic that your audience will more likely buy.​

  • The step-by-step method to prepare for your course, so that you'll spend your time productively, and create something of real value for your audience.

  • In this world of "free" webinars, workshops and classes, how do we come up with a price that is fair to us, while still giving value that is over-and-above what others are giving away?

  • How to differentiate between what content to add in a paid course vs. free channels?

  • Simple solutions for the software and hardware tools that George uses and recommends.

  • Ideas for promoting your course (marketing & enrollment)... whether or not you have an audience!

  • The marketing checklist that George Kao uses to announce courses, including how far in advance to start promoting, how frequent to announce it, where to promote, etc. (Ethical marketing without being salesy and annoying.)

  • How to deliver the course in an enjoyable way, so that you'll be inspired to keep creating courses!

You'll also be able to connect with fellow students of this course to trade practice of doing webinars, feedback for your courses, and potentially co-promotions as well.
The Bottom Line:

For an affordable price, you'll learn a system you can use again and again to keep creating & marketing your own courses!

The training isn't salesy, and George shows you how to use tools that are easily accessible (and many are free).  It's a good way to get started without going into debt or being afraid of being too much a marketer."
