  This type of online course is best for people who are fairly well established in their business, or have been doing what they do for a little while and as such have a little credibility and some content that can quickly be developed and repurposed into a short course. It is a great solution for experts who are constantly being asked by people if ‘they can pick your brains’ and you are starting to get tired of the freebies, the time-suckers and feeling guilty about turning down those who cannot afford your current products or services. The Kickstarter Course is a highly effective way to generate new leads (grow your list), but also to start generating income from stuff that you have been otherwise giving away for free before. The Kickstarter Course is a short course of around 1 hour long, that costs your students anywhere between $25-297 and gives them an all-round introduction to your topic and lots of simple, practical steps to give them quick results in your subject area. You can get started by writing down 20 tips in your area of expertise, and filming a short video of around 2-3mins for each one - and voila, you will have the basis from which to build a short, income-generating course that will get you more leads and more money!Make sure you check your email for more tips on how to create your course!

  The Supportive Coach-Led Course

  This type of course is great for those who love to help, inspire and support others; and who like personal connection, contact and human interaction when they work with others. The Supportive Coach-led Course is a hybrid of self-study learning combined with ‘live’ contact from you as the leader. This type of course is best for those who like to serve smaller groups of people at a time, and in a more personal way, giving more ‘live’ support via video calls, livestreams and an active social media community group, rather than JUST self-directed video learning. These types of courses can be short Kickstarter courses (1 week of guided learning to achieve ‘x’ result) or longer transformational programs (1-12months), and usually include an element of self-study video content that your students will engage with each day, week or month (depending on the length of your program) with regular live coaching Q&A calls from you personally (either delivered as a group, or individually).These types of programs can vary in price, but often edge towards the higher income range of anything between $497-$3,000, as they include your personal expertise and live coaching, along with the maximum support of a social learning community.

  The Membership Online Academy

  The Membership Academy is the best type of online course set-up to go for, for those who want to impact lots of people at the same time, reach a large market, generate sustained monthly income and grow a large membership following. This type of online course set-up is excellent for those who either have a number of different types of topics to teach, and/or have been in their field for a long time and have developed lots of content and expertise. To succeed in the Membership Online Academy model, you need to have at least 3+ courses, each around 1 hour long. You can then charge your students a one-off price to access the courses one by one, OR charge them a recurring monthly fee for access to all of the courses inside your academy. You can break your academy up into totally different categories to attract different types of students, or you can have a niche academy that caters to all different levels of learning within one particular field. Membership prices can vary depending on your topics and how many courses your members get access to, and whether or not there are regular updates, course additions and live training elements; but consider charging anything from $10-$97 per month, per member. It doesn’t take long to build up a member base and start earning an extremely high regular passive income from a membership model. I bet you have more than 100 connections across your social media, right? If ONLY 100 people were paying you $47 a month, you’d be making $4,700 a month passively. Not bad, huh?To get more information on how to start creating your profitable Membership Online Academy, check your email from Sarah Cordiner, or click on the link button below.
