 the guide to entering a growing $300 billion industry, create a course. In 1995, Linda Wyman decided to make a website. She wanted to make a website that would teach people how to make a website. She initially offered her training for free, and then she put up a paywall on there. Now, this site didn't cost her a whole lot of money, it cost her about $35 for the domain name, and then she decided she was gonna charge 25 bucks. And it didn't do that well. After a few years, she had about 1,000 subscribers, and that's about $25,000 a month, which is pretty good, but it took time to keep the site up and everything, but she kept at it, and she kept working at it. And after a while, she ended up with over 100,000 subscribers. Now, keep this in mind, it's still $25 a month, but that's $2.5 million a month for one website. That's pretty good, okay? So you need to digest that, you need to see what you can do with courses. Hey, in this video, I'm gonna show you how you can make a lot of money by developing a course. I'm gonna walk you through the steps and give you some examples.

Now, fast forward to 2015, and Linda sold her website to LinkedIn for $1.5 billion. $1.5 billion, guys, that's a lot of money. You need to get into this course-making thing. Now, of course, Linda's success is not typical, not everybody who starts a website is gonna make that kind of money. However, she kinda opened the door for everybody else because now people are really tuned into e-learning, and with the world illness that just happened or is still happening or will happen forever, I don't know what your opinion is on that one, but the point is people are more tuned in to buying training online now. As a matter of fact, they estimate by 2025, and I don't know what year you're watching, this is 2022 right now, but by 2025, this industry is supposed to grow to $325 billion. That's a lot of money, and you need to get your share of it. Now, there's a big secret that a lot of people aren't telling you about doing courses. It has a very low barrier to entry. Anybody can develop a course. Now, some people may say, well, I don't have decades of experience and I'm not the top person in my field, why would anybody wanna buy a course for me? Well, because you may have some specialized knowledge or you can actually gain some specialized knowledge. If you think about it, your business professor in college probably wasn't the best businessman in the world, but he was teaching. Matter of fact, I did have a good business college professor and he actually left and developed apartment complexes, but that's a whole nother story. The point is you don't have to have tons of knowledge to do this. You do have to have a good platform to do it, and I'm gonna tell you, you need to get cartra. Below in the description, there's a link to cartra. You can put your course there. It's easy to build it, and I highly recommend it. If you use my link below, you can click on it. You can see a video on everything it does for you. It'll also do your email marketing and your sales pages and all that good stuff. And it doesn't cost you a dime to watch the video. If you wanna get cartra with my link, you can get it for only $1 trial, so check that out. So let me walk you through all the steps first off. Number one, what is your course gonna be about? What is your course gonna be about? What is the subject matter? All these courses don't have to be academic either. Maybe you're good at working out, so you do some home videos on how to work out and sell that course. Maybe you're good at doing makeup or hair or maybe you're a good stylist and picking out clothes or something along those lines. Almost any subject will sell online as long as there's a demand for it, and there's a demand for almost everything. Now number two, people think that they're gonna put all this work into it and it's not gonna sell. Now, while that could happen, if you do your research, right, and you figure out what's out there in the marketplace already, you'll probably have a pretty good shot at this. If somebody else is already selling a course in your niche, if somebody else is already making money, odds are you'll be able to too, but you don't have to do the entire course. You can do just a few videos just to test the market, to see how it sells and ask the people that are in the course, what do you think about this? What would you like to see next? And you can start adding modules to it. Now, Linda didn't start out with her website with all the videos she had in the end. No, she started off with 20 videos, just 20 videos. But that grew and grew and grew to 6,300 courses. Oh my gosh, and 267,000 videos. So you can add to your success as you go. Number three, you may be asking yourself, won't this take a lot of time? Well, that's entirely up to you, actually. Now, if you decide to do a course where you're gonna continually add modules on an ongoing basis, yeah, that could take up a lot of time. But after a while, after you've made 20 or 30 videos and you say, hey, this course is complete, then it's gonna be a side business of income consistently. All you'll need to do is keep adding new customers to it. Do advertising, do social posts, add new people to your course, and you'll constantly be making money. Number four, what membership tools should you use or what course tools should you use? I recommend CARTRA. I recommend CARTRA wholeheartedly because I use CARTRA. I use it every single day. I have courses in CARTRA. I have membership courses in CARTRA. I have one-off courses in CARTRA. And what I mean by that is, somebody may pay a flat fee, let's say $100, and they get access to a group of videos. Or it may be a membership-type site where they pay $27 a month in perpetuity as long as they want access to those videos. I have both of those. Both of those sell really well. You've just gotta decide which one's gonna best match for you. But I highly recommend you get in CARTRA. Once again, there's a link in the description below. You can watch a video and you can kinda see how that works. And if you like it, you can get it for only $1. So check that out. You do have to have good software for this, guys. Don't try to do this on your own. Don't try to upload your own videos to a WordPress site and do it that way. You need the software to do this. Now, I wanna make sure that you understand you need to be well thought out when you do your course. You need to be organized. I would suggest in the beginning you have some introduction videos. And you also tell them what to do throughout the course. You can have quizzes throughout the course. You can do that in CARTRA. You can have achievement badges. Once again, you can do that through CARTRA. And maybe your course is a beginner course. And maybe you wanna lead it into a more advanced course. You can also do that in CARTRA once they complete a module. You can offer them the next course that you have and keep them going in your training. If you're going to do a course that is technically oriented, you're gonna wanna update your course as much as possible because if you don't do the updates, it won't match up. But if you're doing a course such as exercise or if you're doing a course such as dog training or something or cooking, something along those lines, that really doesn't change. And you can do a lot of different courses there. Now, I would tell you this. Don't stop at one course. Don't stop at two courses. Continually add courses. As you do this, you'll have the residual income from the beginning courses and more income from the courses that you're gonna be doing in the future. Also, what do you charge for a course? It really depends on what you're giving them. If you're giving them a monthly access and you're not really changing anything and it remains the same, generally anything over $100 a month is kinda tough to sell. So $27, $47, $97 a month works pretty well. If you have a very robust course and it includes software and all kinds of bonuses, I have courses like that to sell for $1,000. Up front, $1,000. So it's really dependent upon what you wanna do. Are you gonna have a membership type course where they're gonna pay monthly or are they gonna pay a one-time fee where they get access to everything? You wanna keep all that stuff in mind. You wanna make sure you get feedback from your people and you wanna make sure that they're actually going through the course. A lot of softwares don't let you do that. If a cartra does, you can actually go into cartra and you can see what the completion rates are for different individuals. You can send out timed emails if they stop watching your videos or if they complete a video, you can send them another email. It just has so many things that are automated in there that's really gonna help you out. Now Linda sold her website for $1.5 billion. What could you do? I think a lot of people don't start this because they're afraid of failure. They're afraid it's not gonna work out. Though I can't guarantee it's gonna work out for you, nobody can do that, I can guarantee you that if you put in the effort and you use cartra, you'll probably get some pretty darn good results. And here's the funny thing with results. Once you start getting good results, it will motivate you to keep going. If you sit back and you ponder, should you do this, should you not do this, you're never gonna get anywhere. Now, some people will say, if I spend a lot of time on this and I don't make money right up front then I've wasted a lot of time. Well, you don't know that, but I know this for sure. If you don't do anything, you've certainly wasted a lot of time, okay? If you haven't tried anything, you've certainly wasted a lot of time. So make sure you at least get started on this, okay? If you have questions about this, you can also post them in the comments below. I'll be happy to answer them. I've done all kinds of different courses. As a matter of fact, you'll find some of my courses below in the description. Click on one of those, grab one of my courses, look at what I've done and emulate it.
