[2:32] – The benefits of adding a digital course as an additional revenue generator.
- If you have a successful business, and if you are doing one-on-one coaching, consulting, or service work – or if you have the type of business you feel you can’t step away from without losing revenue – then it’s time to start thinking about creating a digital course.
[3:46] – How do we decide what topic to create a course around?
- The sweet spot formula is your first big validation exercise to get the idea out of your head and to get things rolling.
- The first quadrant is what is your expertise, your knowledge, your know-how, and what are you good at.
- The second quadrant is the people you want to serve.
- The third quadrant is money potential. Know where people are spending money.
- The fourth quadrant is what brings you joy.

[12:13] –Possible revenue for digital courses.
- Know how much money you consider is good, great, and the amount you consider to be ON FIRE!
- A starter course could range from $100-$200.
- The second type of course you can create is a spotlight course, where you take one area of your expertise, and because it’s more detailed, you can charge more.
- The third type of course is a signature course. This is where you are promising a big transformation from start to finish. You’re going to take them through a journey. You’re going to get them big results. You can charge anywhere from $500 to $3000.
[17:05] –What is and what’s not working right now?
