👉 The status quo needs to change (and what’s next for courses)

Let's get real about the state of online courses…‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Hi there! This is a safe space, right? Good — let me get real about the state of [online courses]( This is what a “successful” online course looks like today: - Tons of people “Join the waitlist” based on promises made - A bunch pay in full when the course launches - Then a small fraction actually complete the course and experience the value promised on the sales page - The majority only log into the course once or twice, don’t complete the course, but see enough potential value to blame themselves and not ask for a refund or complain publicly - Course creator focuses on those who made it through and gushed about their experience, and then innocently writes off those who didn’t get any value due to the lack of refund requests and complaints (i.e. “Wish it weren’t so, but not my problem”). This is the status quo. And it has been for years now. But is it still good enough? What about student retention? What about connecting education with community? What about increasing course completion and helping more students get real results? We at Circle know there's a better way, and so do the leading course and community creators quietly transitioning to community-powered courses… Which led us to teaming up with Danielle Leslie (Founder of Course From Scratch - generating over $20 million in revenue), Tiago Forte (the second brain guy), and Mariah Coz (Founder of Fearless CEO) for a FREE 5-hour online summit called “[The Future of Courses]( You’ll come out the other side of the summit knowing: ✔ What a community-powered course is ✔ How the experience is different (better) for students ✔ The big wins early adopters are seeing (bigger launches, effortless upsells, referrals, lower costs, and more) ✔ And the tech behind these community-powered courses (hint: It’s less tech, not more) Join us LIVE on Tuesday, September 27 from 11am-4pm ET (watch the replays if you can’t make it)!
