17. Building an Online Course Part 1: Some Good & Bad Reasons

What this episode covers

So you think you should make an online course…. ok, but why? It’s actually a pretty important question to answer before you jump into it. We don’t normally like to label things with ugly words like “good” and “bad”, but alas, we have opinions and we’re here to share them. After working with lots of online course creators to help them put their expertise online, we’ve heard lots of reasons for WHY they want to venture out into the world of virtual courses and programs (i.e. reasons like coronavirus….). With this episode, we’re assuming the role of the ultimate arbiters of right and wrong and running down the top reasons we hear for “why” people want to create an online course, and then offering our thoughts on which of these reasons are “good” and which are “bad”.
