ENCORE: A Live vs. Pre-Recorded Online Course

from Selling the Couch

Today’s encore is from a live coaching call talking about the many nuances of online courses. I hope this episode will be helpful to you and bring new ideas if an online course is on your radar. Our Featured Guest-Kristen Boice, LMFT Kristen Boice is a therapist in private practice and a fellow podcaster. She has realized the need among her listeners for an online course. Her podcast, Close the Chapter, is about closing the chapter on certain things in our lives so we can open ourselves up to new opportunities. In today’s coaching call, I’ll share some lessons I’ve learned along the way about online courses. We’ll talk about the rationale behind creating a live course vs. a pre-recorded one. We will wrap up with a pre-launch strategy to help get buyers for your course before you launch. Pathways To Healing Counseling Kristen Boice You’ll Learn ● Why Kristen started her podcast about two years ago to provide another opportunity for deeper work for her clients ● How an online course can help you get more information out to curious people ● The options for your course and other services ● Why niching down is a big challenge for therapists ● How Kristen sees the epidemic of people feeling “not good enough” and being scared to speak up ● How a niche can help you offer value and find your sweet spot ● How the best courses take people from one place to another ● Why Kristen focuses on helping with the hard conversations ● How to use phraseology that appeals to people and addresses their need ● Step-by-step actions to build your email list and create effective opt-ins ● How to create value on the front end of your course by validating your content --- Ready to launch (or grow) your online course?
