New Course

Do you want to create a course but not sure where to start?

 Email Courses That Matter

 Next Course Begins October 16th, 2011

I know you have a great idea for an online course. You are madly in love with the topic and you readers want to learn from you. Plus you have a solution to their problem.

• But you have never created an online course before.
• You aren’t really sure how to actually teach and engage people online
• And you don’t have the time or the cash to create a full blown membership site.

Start with Email.

Email is a sensational platform for creating an online course. You get to provide valuable content and learning activities straight to your student’s inbox.  Instead of your students going to your site, you get to reach them in their more private spot – their email.

The benefits of using emails are:

• It is inexpensive.  You can either use your current email system or an autoresponder such as Mail Chimp or  Aweber
• It is a low tech solution
• It is easy to set up and doesn’t take a lot of time

Signing up for Ainslie Hunter’s ‘Email Courses That Matter’ was the best thing I could have done for my email course. What was just a vague idea in my head turned into a full blown course in the weeks I had Ainslie teach me how to create email courses.  What would have taken me month to figure out and finish only took me a few weeks. Not only is she an exceptional teacher but her course takes out all the confusion about creating email courses.  The thing I love best about this course is that Ainslie understands that writing the course is just one aspect of an email course. The technical aspect is just as important and provides information for that as well.  Her lessons are easy to understand, her tasks yield result and her feedback is invaluable.

Watch, Learn and Create an Email Course with me.

But creating an email course isn’t as simple as setting up your email autoresponder with your best content (even though that’s what people have led you to believe).  A course needs a certain structure, with the perfect combination of content and activities.  And a course needs you, the teacher.

This eight week course that will show you exactly how to plan, create, set-up, launch and manage an email course.

In Email Courses that Matter you will learn:

• The tools needed to create an email course
• How to plan a course that has maximum learning opportunities
• How to write an online lesson
• Key strategies to get your students engaged with the content and applying it in their situation
• Examples of how to encourage engagement and interaction
• How to put all the pieces together on your blog so it is ready to launch
• What to do once the course has begun and you are in teacher mode

But you will also see:

• This email course in action, and use it as a model for your course
• Interviews from successful email course creators such as Ali Luke, Mark McGuiness, Lea Woodward and Sid Savara
• Examples of lessons and activities that you can swipe and use in your own course

And most importantly you will receive unlimited feedback from me.

For the duration of the course you can email me and ask any question about how to create your own email course:

• Feedback on Homework Tasks
• Answers to questions
• Individual Lesson Critiques

Ainslie gave us an exhaustive and extremely helpful review of our online course, The CustomerLove Machine. She told us exactly what we needed to do, point by point, to make our course more engaging and effective. Using her expert recommendations, we are ready and excited to relaunch our much-improved course in a few weeks.
