Online Courses – The Tech Issue
New course creators or business owners that want to create a course always seem to fixate on this question,
Does creating an online course require a lot of tech?
For most, this question stops them before they even get started. The truth is that it can be as complicated or as simple as it needs to be. I know some professional Coaches and Industry Leaders who have an entire staff that manages and runs their content management systems, course delivery platforms, and onboarding programs. I also know that you can create and deliver a course with just a cell phone camera, microphone, PowerPoint, a website, and Paypal.
Which Route Should You Take?
Well, THAT is the question – Who is your target audience, what solutions are you providing for them, how do they learn best, and how do they like to consume training? The answers to these questions provide the clarity from which you can select the best type of course and how to deliver it.
Does that seem backward? To most people, it does seem backward. However, not to a professional Course Business Consultant. The answers to those questions must be determined first so that we clearly know who the course serves, the pain they are experiencing, and how this course will be positioned to solve that pain and move them forward to the promised result. That is why I say, it can be as complicated or as simple as it needs to be.
Determining the solution for the right target client is the key to not only the amount of tech, but also the experience the learner has while taking the course, the connection they have with the content and the presenter, the motivation they have to complete the course through to the end and achieve the promised solution. And, the prime result for you? Satisfied, loyal, clients that are growing and learning from you, eager for the next amazing opportunity you might dish up for them!
