Software You Need to Create & Sell a Course
Last week I compared the pros and cons of 3 types of digital products (you can read that here); an online course being one of them. This week I'm sharing the 18 tools you need to create your own online course.
These are the tools and software I personally use in my course-business, so I promise they're all tested and trusted. I'll keep this blog post up to date as my software needs change, and will link to all these tools below.

Ebook vs Course vs Group Program
If I told you that you could start your business today and have made your first $1,000 just one month later, that’s something you’d want to hear more about, isn’t it?
There is a way you can start your business PROFITABLE. But you have to be strategic.
In this episode I'm sharing the pros and cons of creating and selling an ebook, an online course, and a group coaching program, so you can determine which type of digital product you should create for your business.

The PRO Method (Profitable Digital Products Mini Series)
What would you be more apt to do in regards to going on a blind date:
- a 30 minute coffee date,
- or a 3 week long vacation?
Keep in mind, you don't know this person. It's a blind date - you don't know their passions, their career, personality, interests, etc. A coffee date is almost the no-brainer, right? Low commitment. If they're a dud, you're done in 30 minutes.
While the 3 week long vaca sounds appealing, would you want to be stuck with a dud for 3 weeks? I don't think so.
Creating a digital product is the same way. If you follow the advice of the "experts", you'll likely choose to go on a 3 week long vacation with your digital product. If you follow my advice, aka the PRO method, you'll go on a 30 minute coffee date with your potential digital product, before deciding if it's something you want to commit to more deeply.
In this episode I'm teaching you all about the PRO Method, and how to implement it in your business as you start on the process of creating your own digital product.

Manifesting & Goal Setting to Increase Your Biz Income
In this episode I'm sharing one of the most popular trainings I've hosted - my manifestation masterclass! This is the process I used to increase my business income (I went from making $1k/mo to $5k/month the very first month I started!)
Goal setting can have a stigma, since it's all too common to set lofty goals... and then never be able to achieve them. My process is different, as it combines the power of visualization and alignment, and the analytical aspects of goal setting.
Same thing goes with manifestation. You can't put an intention into the universe and expect for it to come to you while you sit on the sofa watching TV. You have to take aligned action if you want to bring that energy to you.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:
- What alignment, flow, resisting resistance looks like and how I use these to make business decisions
- How to distinguish between your true goals and vanity goals
- How to reverse engineer your goals to make them achievable and incremental
- My process for tracking these goals monthly and taking aligned action to reach them
