Why is there a big showing of online courses and the starting up of online business’s today you might ask?  While the reasons can vary here’s a few worth considering when it comes to online courses especially.

The trend for courses is very popular and will keep growing so there’s plenty of room for you to contribute to the online world by adding a course you like to teach as well.

People are seeing the value a course adds to their lives when they put their hobbies, or crafts, or knowledge expertise to use in the online industry. As time goes on there’s only going to be more and more people going online for one thing or another. It’s virtually a normal part of things in daily living, so there’s never going to be an overabundance of courses online because education and helping others and being creative are the keys that will always be in demand and the same applies to virtually any other successful online business.

Now more than ever is the right time to make the effort and go online, create an e/course and use your talents and further spread them around and share what you know. That’s essentially why the internet has gone so far and will only keep doing so, because it’s the disseminating and sharing of knowledge and communicating ideas through products and services and other mediums of trade and information exchange that’s advancing our human destiny and evolution like never before.

Hi,

The online business world can take a while to learn all the different parts of it. Everyone has their online path that they eventually discover is “the path” for them.

So far for me this is my sixth course I’ve created. It’s my third course I’ve created and put up online while the first three even though are completed were for me more or less a learning curve to start with.

Before 2004 the world of computers and online communication was not a regular part of my lifestyle, however from there over the course of the years that followed through trial and error, self-education, perseverance, and patience, I’ve managed to develop the skills in online business starting off with dabbling in affiliate marketing—then learning how to build a small personal development website—which then took me on to publishing Kindle e-book’s and writing a series of books and becoming an author in both non-fiction and fiction—and it’s from there since 2012 when I officially started my online business I have been creating E/courses and traveling that path which I find rewarding in more ways than one.

You maybe wondering a few things at this point.

• You’re keen to make a start but don’t know where to begin.

 

• It’s all a bit confusing and you may be feeling and rightly so overwhelmed by what’s involved in setting up an online course.

 

• Or you could be thinking I’m not a creative person and don’t know anything about content creating.

 

• Or that I’m not technical minded enough to know about how to set up and maintain a website and the same with the marketing side of things—I’ve never done it before.

 

Then there’s the question of what’s it all going to cost to set up and how much time per week will I need to be putting towards creating the course project and once it’s up online.

 

Rest easy in regards to the above it’s only natural to feel like that at the start. Everyone gets questions like that come up within themselves whenever there’s something new to learn.

The thing is you aren’t expected to know everything or even anything at first. As you go along it will come—even if you have some idea of what’s involved in the online world and have a blog or website set up but aren’t sure of what the next steps are for setting up a top online course—it doesn’t matter.

What’s in this course covers all you need to know to be able to create and get your course up online, and earning you an income, and sharing what you know in service to others and society at large.

The way the course is set up is the whole learning process is systematically easy to follow and runs in order with each part designed to take you through each step exactly and in a normal and natural process of unfoldment, as is the case when learning something solid from the ground up and building on it as you would do with anything that’s worthwhile and gives value to you in doing it.

Guarantee

In addition Your E/course Blueprint comes with a guarantee. If by nine months after you have completed your course providing you have followed through on promoting it and done everything according to the steps laid out in your e/course blueprint, and after I take a look at your course for how it can be improved, if you haven’t made any sales still, then you will get a full refund of what you purchased the course for.

Personally I believe you will have made a sale(s) long before that if you have kept at it, however sometimes there can be other reasons that come into factor how long it takes, so with that amount of time it gives you the time to make it work, even if you only have spare time to work on it.

Also during the nine months following completion of your course you can contact me any time about any questions you have and I’ll assist where I can or steer you in the right direction to those who can if need be.
