He made $60k with a TINY course


Hey, my friend!

We've replied to dozens of questions about mini-courses lately, but one of them stands out because it came up so often:

"What's the #1 thing I need to get right to ensure my mini-course will be successful and profitable?"

The truth is, it's not the sales page (although that's definitely important)...

It's not the launch emails (even though those are also important)...

It's the course topic.

The most important step in creating a profitable mini-course is to choose a winning topic.

When you create a course people truly want and need, you've already done 50% of the selling.

My co-founder Jari Roomer has learned this early on and built over 10 mini-courses in the productivity niche over the past few years.

One of his most successful courses is called The Procrastination Antidote and has generated over $60,000 in sales:

The course was a success because it solved a pressing, painful problem (procrastination) that most of his readers struggled with and desperately wanted to get rid of.

This product is a great example of a true "pain killer."

It's short (only 2 hours of video content), specific, and incredibly valuable to the target audience.

If you nail down your course topic like this, selling becomes effortless because your target audience WANTS to buy your product.

Most course creators, however, make one crucial mistake that costs them a lot of money.

They build a course they're excited about without checking if anyone actually wants to buy it.

And the last thing you want to do is create a course that nobody wants to buy.

(We've been there—it sucks.)

That's why we help our Mini-Course Accelerator students validate their course ideas through questions like:

  • What's a painful problem your audience struggles with?
  • What's a result your audience desperately wants to achieve?
  • What's a specific skill your audience wants to learn to make their life better?

When you create the mini-course your audience truly wants and needs, everything becomes 10x easier (and more profitable).

Now, if you don't have an audience yet, don't worry...

There are simple strategies to launch your course even if you don't have a large online audience of your own (yet).

When you don't have an audience, simply change the questions to:

  • What painful problems have I solved in my own life/business that others struggle with too?
  • What results or outcomes have I achieved that other people want as well?
  • What skills have I learned that others often ask me to help them with?

We often underestimate the value of the knowledge and skills we already have.

We're convinced most people have $100,000+ worth of knowledge trapped in their heads, waiting to be turned into a digital product.

We've built Mini-Course Accelerator to help you take the first steps and launch your mini-course in record time while being sure that your efforts will be worth it.

If you’re ready to build your mini-course, now’s the time to join and get started.

Big love from my screen to yours,
Sinem
