{NAME}, this is why you should create an online course

  [Teachable –](   Hey {NAME}, The market for online courses is massive (and growing!) as the online education industry continues to receive 100-billion-dollar-plus market projections by [industry analysts](. Individuals like you are making a living selling courses through Teachable, on topics ranging from illustration to card magic, and the best of the best bring in 6+ figure incomes every month. With the growing demand for online courses, it’s no surprise that more people are becoming interested in [how to start teaching online](. But before we talk about how to create an online course, we wanted to back it up and ask a deeper question.   Why should you create an online course?   There are 7 major reasons you might want to create an online course (and probably more!). Let’s start with the obvious and work our way through the list together.   - Online courses can provide part-time (or full-time) income. Online courses are a great way to transform your knowledge into an income, and most people don’t realize how much easier and effective it is to monetize a course compared to a blog or a YouTube account. (Don’t believe us? We’ve done our homework and [compiled a ton of data to share]( - Everyone has something to teach. Believe it or not — everyone (including you!) has an online course in them. We all have our own unique hobbies, passions, and skills that can translate into an online course, and you don’t need to teach programming or stock investments to have a successful course. We have profitable teachers with courses ranging from cake decorating to watercolor painting, and what matters is the quality of the transformation you’re sharing with students. Not just the topic. - Courses are a reusable asset. Once you create your online course, you can repurpose, reformat, and resell your course for as long as you’d like. You can make an online course today and still be profiting from it years down the line. (Cha-ching!) - You are already an authority. Many people are afraid that they aren’t qualified to teach because they aren’t an “expert” in their field. Well we did a little digging to debunk this myth, and we’ve found that the best teachers are only a few steps ahead of their students. If this surprises you, consider the student’s perspective: an instructor who was a beginner themselves 6 months ago is often much better suited to teach the material than someone who reached “expert” status 10 years ago. - You can help a massive amount of people at once. Online courses deliver content in a straightforward and easily understood format, and you can reach a large number of people very quickly and provide a lot of transformations. - They have a high ROI. If you already have an online audience or content created, courses are a quick way to make money off of the work that you’ve already done. Even if you’re starting from scratch, the time investment into a course is still a fraction of an ongoing blog or video series. - You can charge more for them. Globally, our culture values education. With university degrees in the tens of thousands, an online course that teaches a valuable skill can be worth hundreds and thousands of dollars. Compare this with an ebook, blog or subscription website. You'd be hard pressed to charge more than double digits, while online courses can cost $100, $1000, or even $10,000. (Yes. Seriously.) Do any of these resonate with you? Your “why” is just the beginning, and we hope you’ll take the weekend to consider why you want — no, need! — to create an online course of your own.   See you next week, Your friends at Teachable PS: We know some of you may be left asking, “Well this is great, but I want to know how to do it!” Great question. Check back on Monday and we’ll tell you all about it… 😊   [Explore Teachable Professional]( [Read our Blog](   [Facebook](   [Twitter](   [Instagram](   [YouTube](   [Pinterest](   ©2018 Teachable ™ P.O.
