Turn what you keep explaining into a course people buy and finish.

Build it once and sell it on its own, inside a community you run, or both: it’s the same course either way.

Somebody asks you the thing you know, and you explain it. You know where they’re going to get confused, because everybody gets confused in the same place. You know what to say first, and what to leave until they’re ready for it.

Then the conversation ends, and the explanation goes with it. The next person asks, and you start at the beginning again. The last person who asked wrote it down as you went, and their notes are the nearest thing to a written version. So far, the only complete version of it is you, talking.

Start your course small, with the people who already ask you.

A course doesn’t have to be built in a course tool. The simplest version of one goes out as a few emails, and that route is over here. This page is for when it outgrows email.

There’s a bar to clear first, and somebody who’s sold this kind of thing put it plainly:

“People don’t buy information. They buy clarity, confidence, or a shortcut. The more specific the transformation, the easier it sells… A 100 page guide feels impressive. A tight, focused solution to one painful problem converts better.”

A course doesn’t sell itself. The people who do well with one have usually built an audience first, before they had anything to sell. If people already come to you with the question, that’s where an audience starts.

What your course can do.

  • The thing you keep explaining becomes a lesson. Video, audio, something written, or a live session you run inside the course.

  • Your video plays from inside the course. Nothing to set up on a video site first.

  • Quizzes along the way, and a certificate when they get to the end.

  • Lessons can arrive a piece at a time, by days or by hours, instead of the whole thing landing at once.

  • You can see who enrolled, who started, and who finished. So you know it got finished, not just bought.

  • The people who buy log in to one branded place that holds the course, the community, and what they’ve paid. The answers they gave when they joined land on their record in your contacts.

Need to tell everyone on the course something? Say it once, and it can go out as an email at the same time.

A course can be free, bought once, or paid for monthly. How the money side works

One course. Two ways it reaches people.

The same course can be sold on its own, or sit inside a community you run. That isn’t two builds. It’s one course, doing both.

Inside the group, how people get into it is yours to set: open to everyone, unlocked once somebody’s been around a while, unlocked when they reach a level, or bought right there in the group. You can also open a course up to one particular member. Not sure which fits? Put it in your queue and it gets set up the way your group works.

For what it’s worth, the courses we run ourselves sit inside our own community, on the same software this page is about.

You don’t have to build the whole course yourself.

  • Describe the course in chat and get a first draft back.
  • Drop a funnel page you’ve already built in as a lesson.
  • Run a live session inside the course instead of recording one.

The AI in your account is here, and if you’d rather hand the build over, put it in your queue.

What courses cost.

Courses are part of the software at $127 a month. Build the first one yourself, or put it in your queue and the team builds it for you.

Questions people ask about courses.

Can I sell the same course on its own and inside my community?

Yes. It’s one course, and it can be sold on its own and sit inside a group you run at the same time. You don’t build it twice.

Do I have to be on camera?

No. A lesson can be video, audio, something you’ve written, or a live session you run inside the course, and a course can mix them.

Where does the video live — do I need YouTube or Vimeo?

Neither. Your video is hosted and played from the course itself, so there’s no separate video host and no account anywhere else to set up.

You stop being the only way to learn what you know.

The thing you know exists on its own now. Somebody can buy it without asking you first, and work through it at their own pace. You find out that they finished.
