How I built a course and private community that’s almost 5000 strong
A short thread on launching my first info-product under my own name
(I’ve done a ton of launches for clients)

Right off the bat I knew I wanted the user experience to be solid, especially on mobile
As much as I respect what gumroad is doing for creators...
Video consumption on mobile is just not good

So I looked at Teachable, Podia and Kajabi
Kajabi is the most powerful and also includes email integration, so o started with that
But then I remembered @jackbutcher was using something else, didn’t know if it was custom or a platform

Jack was kind enough to give me a briefer on @MightyNetworks
Decided to go with that platform, even though it doesn’t take care of email
My friends @FrazzleDazzzled and @wizofecom validated that choice, too, so it was a no brainer

Content wise, I knew roughly what I wanted to share
I started with a single video module, 20 minutes long
I realized I was talking about 3-5 separate things so it would be better to break it down into modules
That’s where the fun began

Starting in late June, I’d wake up with a new module idea almost every day
And the more I built, the more I realized that I could make Twitter Growth, Influence & Monetization truly comprehensive

Outside of automation / bots, which I know nothing about, I figured I’d build the course I wish existed when I started taking Twitter seriously in late April
@joserosado and I talk often, and share what we’re working on
I told him about what I was doing and he generously offered to make a bonus module
(He nailed it, btw)

From there I took a step back and looked at what else should be included, and who the best person would be to help
Fellow twitter friends came through, bigly, and delivered great content
I’m talking about @JoshuaLisec @waronweakness @ImprovementGeek and @fromclicktosale

One more thing about tools I used
Other than Mighty, the content was created in Google Slides, recorded on @loom and hosted on @Vimeo
The genius behind editing? That would be @StackingEUR

Finally for the landing page and emails, I use @ConvertKit
One of the pages (the one you get to after you click the green button) is built in Carrd
The biggest takeaway for me is the power of audio quality
Everything was done with AirPods Pro (hat tip to @paik_michael)

I’ll be sure to step up my audio game when I move in September
Lastly I first thought I would add captions/subtitles when I first starts this project... but then it turned into about 12 hours of content, and I decided not to push back the launch for that alone

Hope this helps give you perspective on what’s involved in launching a video course, and be sure to RT the top tweet of you read this far :)
