How to Think About Creating a Digital Course

3 months ago

Creating a digital course is often seen as a daunting task. You might be wondering, “Where do I start?” or “Is this really something I can do?” Well, I’m here to tell you that creating a digital course isn’t as hard as you think. It’s all about taking small steps and breaking it down into manageable chunks.

1. Start Small: Focus on One Thing

The key to creating a successful digital course is to start small. Don’t overcomplicate things by trying to create a massive 10-module course right away. Start with one module or even one lesson. What’s the most important lesson you want to teach your clients? Start with that.

For example, if you're a fitness coach, maybe you begin with a course on "The Basics of Home Workouts" rather than trying to cover every aspect of fitness in one go. Once you have the first module created, you’ll gain confidence, and then you can expand as you go.

2. Break It Down: Create a Simple Outline

Once you have your idea, the next step is to break it down. Create an outline of the course structure. This could be as simple as listing the topics you’ll cover in each module. A great outline will act as your roadmap, guiding your content creation process.

Let’s say you’re creating a financial coaching course. Your outline could look like this:

  1. Module 1: Budgeting Basics
  2. Module 2: Saving for Your Future
  3. Module 3: Investing 101
  4. Module 4: Building Credit

Having an outline gives you direction and ensures you’re covering everything your clients need.

3. Don’t Overthink the Tech: Use Simple Tools

One of the biggest fears coaches have when thinking about creating a digital course is the technology involved. They worry about coding, complicated software, and how to actually get their content online.

With platforms like Kowcha, you don’t need to worry about tech. Kowcha makes it simple to upload videos, workbooks, and other course materials. You can even host your courses on the platform without needing a separate website or complicated software.

4. Create Your Content: Record, Write, and Upload

Now, it’s time to create your content. Depending on your teaching style, you can create videos, write ebooks or workbooks, or record audio lessons. The beauty of digital courses is that you can create content once and reuse it.

You don’t have to do everything all at once. You can start by recording one lesson, then add more as you go. The goal is to keep things simple and focus on providing value to your clients.

5. Take the Leap: Start Today

It’s time to stop overthinking and take the first step. Just start. Once you’ve created your first course, it’s only going to get easier from there. Don’t let fear of technology or perfection hold you back. With Kowcha, you have the tools and support to get your course online, attract clients, and start making money.
