Jeanine Blackwell – Create 6-Figure Courses Virtual Bootcamp March 2016
Why create a profitable online course NOW?
You can move beyond the time for money hustle.
You are ready to move from trading $ for hours to an unlimited stream of “mailbox money” (sales that arrive in your inbox while you’re creating value elsewhere in your business). Your online course will provide an “evergreen” source of revenue AND a steady stream of ideal clients into your higher-end programs and services.
You can generate six figures with less traffic than you might think.
143 people a year purchasing a $697 course will deliver 6-figures in revenue. That’s less than three people a week, folks. Think about it…just this week (according to Google), 8,890 people searched for “online writing course”. It can be easier than you think to find just three people a week.
You can leverage your results exponentially.
You can leverage what you are already good at and scale your one-on-one results to group results – transforming the lives of more people in less time. You might be surprised at some of the course topics out there that are wildly successful: knitting, writing, scrapbooking, photography, blogging, cooking. Cool, right?
Have you been getting amazing results with your one-on-one clients doing
your THING?
The feel-good, “this is me in my zone” results that tell you you’re on your path.
Can we celebrate that for just a nano-second?
There IS success in what you are doing right now!
And, the funny thing about success is that with each new level of it, new opportunities (also known as “problems”) show up. You hit a ceiling, you just can’t do more one-on-one work or travel, or maybe you just know it is time to create what’s next.
You are so good at what you do you can’t figure out how to leverage it to someone else.
Even your lead generation depends on YOU showing up and giving your time, one-on-one with your potential client. You love it…but it’s not exactly scale-able!
These are all great “problems” to have, right?
The easiest way to figure out how to move through to the next level is to observe what successful entrepreneurs do:
Highly successful thought leaders, coaches and consultants (those with the big following, big impact and big revenue) all do one thing in common.
They scale from being in their zone of competence (creating results one-on-one), to stepping into their leveraged zone of genius with one elegant move:
They create a step-by-step online course teaching others what they already know.
