We live in the best time for makers! Where to start?

Build a course and sell what you know. People want your skills.

But don’t brain dump into Teachable and then light up your followers with posts.

Here’s a better plan for making https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💰" title="Geldsack" aria-label="Emoji: Geldsack"> online.

Follow people who’ve built profitable courses like @fortelabs, @david_perell, and @jackbutcher. Gain inspiration from them, but don’t copy their current strategies. They gained success through a sequenced process. Start in the place right for you.
Share lots of free, quality content. Show your value, build trust, grow followers. Be a lighthouse so like-minded people find you (cr: @mkobach).

Be prolific, not perfect. Iterate and experiment. Over time, you& #39;ll uncover the right topic for your course & focus for your branding.
Once you’ve built your audience and honed your topic, design a prototype course. Make it simple: text, pictures, iPhone videos, and screen recordings.

Yet again, perfection is the enemy of progress. Fail fast, fail early. Iterate. I give you permission!
Next, turn your audience into a tribe. Post testimonials for your course. Design a brand. Make a hashtag. Host Zoom meet-and-greets. Try @CircleApp.

You’re asking people to identify with you. Iterate, but don’t jerk people around. Experiment with low-impact changes.
Now, you’re ready for the big leagues.

Launch a premium course. Invest in awesome graphics & media like @joserosado and @AlexOsterwalder. Add cohorts & personal coaching like @DaveStachowiak. Make an experience worth https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💵" title="Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💵" title="Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💵" title="Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen">.

Conduct small experiments for continuous improvement.

Every product has a lifecycle. At your peak, start the process over again. Post & track different content. Run surveys & interviews on new ideas.

Will it be easier? No. You face new challenges: complacency & overconfidence.

Disrupt yourself.

Play to win the long-term game.
