Following the disastrous consequences of Covid-19, one of the most popular phrases we saw companies use was “cost cutting.”
Overnight, freelancers and entrepreneurs lost student data revenue streams, if not all of their business revenue, and employees lost their jobs.
And in a post-pandemic world, we believe many companies will not have the luxury of relying on one source of revenue.
Instead, by diversifying, you can look for new, profitable and even lucrative alternatives .
Online courses are a great way to earn money during the pandemic. If you have skills or knowledge that you think would be valuable to others, or if you know how to solve problems that they need fixed, you can sell them through online platforms.
In this sense, if things calm down and the core of your business starts working at full steam again, once done, you will always have your online course to monetize as extra income.
The best thing about online courses is that once you’re done, you have something you can sell over and over again. You can enroll one student in it or sell it to a million people. Aside from any live support you may choose to offer, there’s no extra effort required on your part.
Plus, there are other reasons why you should create your own course right now:
Your course is most likely evergreen, meaning you can simply roll it out and sell it indefinitely and at any time you want. The only extra time commitment it will require is tweaking to keep the content fresh if needed;
Just like writing a book, creating and selling an online course helps position you as an authority on the subject . This raises your professional level and indicates that you have enough experience in your niche to be able to teach an online course with guaranteed recognition;
The possibility of scaling your business and reaching an ever-increasing number of people is real. With the right digital marketing strategy, the results will happen.
