I’ve had a passion for working with speakers since high school. While I’m not a professional speaker, I know that creating an online course can add tremendous value to the back of the room sales for any speaker. I had the privilege of talking with Jane Atkinson of The Wealthy Speaker University. Jane shares some of her success tips to creating an online course for her audience of speakers, but she also shares the times she learned what didn’t work for her audience.

The Online Course Coach Podcast Show Notes

She helps speakers create products they can sell so they can speak less and make more
She created the Wealthy Speaker U course to avoid trading time for money
Her goal was to leverage what the speaker knows
Jane used surveys to learn what her audience wanted and they told her that they wanted the course
She saw a Facebook ad that said something like “Is your calendar full without adding more time”
They use a hybrid course with teaching online and doing some live training
There were too many people, the course was too cheap and it was a problem so the first course didn’t go well
She made a mistake with her evergreen webinar that her students bonded and she wasn’t live during her webinars. From now she’ll be live
While she can use Facebook ads, she learned that she had to sell the course herself and not rely on ads
Jane knows her list and audience are her best customers
The price point has to be inexpensive so people will sign up
A tip is to have a platform, ask what they want and serve them
An online course is an evolution
She uses an online calendar to schedule meetings to systematize her business
