Courses are a fantastic way to build income for your business, but they can also be a ton of work. So what if there was a way that you could test out your idea before you commit to creating a full course? Good news. There is.

What I would suggest before you dive into creating course is you start engaging with your audience. You learn what they need and how you can help them in that problem. And then I would suggest creating a small printable, like a small $10 product or a small ebook under $50.
[00:01:06].830] – Liz
Maybe test that area.
[00:01:09].350] – Suzi
Yeah. So create a small product first and see if they take it, see if they like it, see if they actually purchase. Like, kind of warm-up your audience to buying from you, to building that trust.
[00:01:22].490] – Suzi
And then once you see okay, they’re purchasing the small product, they’re purchasing a small ebook, then you can slowly start creating that course with videos and worksheets and a ton more material in it. But before you invest two months into creating a course, start with a smaller product.

All right, guys. Hopefully this episode has given you some ideas on how you can pretest your course idea and warm up your audience. Be sure to join me next time as we learn what you need to do to be ready to onboard a virtual assistant. I’ll catch you then.
