Course Description

Are you a coach, consultant, or some other “expert”? 

Do you make a living helping others by sharing that expertise? 

Have you maxed-out on the number of clients you can work with? 

Or, hit an income ceiling in your business? 


Or, are you just tired of trading hours for dollars? 

If that sounds like you, then maybe it’s time to learn how to leverage your expertise and your time by packaging your knowledge into online courses. That way you can serve thousands of people without having to be there in person (or via the phone). 


Online courses provide a passive income stream. 

That means you do the work once to create the course, and then you earn money, month after month after month, with little to no additional time invested on your part. 


That’s called leveraging yourself. 

And it’s a great way to grow your business and help more people without having to work more hours. 

However, if you want to earn good money from your courses, and really help your students, you need to create a high quality course. 


It needs to be a course people want. 

And, it must share information that’s in demand and people are willing to pay for. 

I’ve been in business online, teaching virtually and packaging my expertise into information products since 2004. 


I've been a bestselling online teacher since 2013.

I’ve created 22 online courses and I continue to earn passive income from those courses every single month.

I've run my own online teaching academy, and I'm a Udemy bestseller with more than 28,000 students in 171 countries. I also have more than 41,000 enrollments, meaning the majority of my students purchase multiple courses from me.

Oh, and the majority of my students are PAID. That’s an important distinction.

Some courses may have thousands of students enrolled but none of those students actually paid to take the course.

But, if you want to make passive income you need to create a course students are willing to pay for. And that’s exactly what I’m going to teach you how to do in this course.


In this course, you will learn… 

  • How to decide WHAT to teach so people will pay to take your courses

  • How to create a course outline that easily translates into an online course

  • How to create the presentations you’ll need to record your video lessons

  • 4 different types of video lessons and how to create each one

  • How to name your course so more students find it

  • What you need to include in your course in addition to video lessons to enhance your students’ learning and keep them coming back for more courses

  • What you need to do BEFORE you record your course videos to ensure your course will be top quality and quickly approved by any marketplace you publish it to

  • The equipment you’ll need to create your course and where to get it

  • The software you’ll need and how to use it

  • And the equipment you can wait to buy until you start earning money

  • How to record, edit, and produce your course videos, even if you’ve never shot videos before

  • The technical specs you need to ensure your videos are the correct format to play on the web

  • How to name all your course files to keep them organized and make it easy to upload them to multiple platforms (even have someone else do it for you)


You'll see my exact course creation process.

I will walk you step-by-step through everything I do to create my courses and I’ll even take you behind the scenes into my studio. 

Plus you get checklists every step of the way so you’ll have all the important info you need handy as you create your course. 


I'd love to help you create your first bestselling online course!

I’ve been in business online, teaching virtually and packaging my expertise into information products since 2004. I've been a Udemy bestselling course instructor since 2013.

If you’ve been thinking about creating an online course but didn’t know where to start, this course is the A to Z How-To Guide you’ve been waiting for.

If you follow all the action steps I teach you in this course, when you’re done you will have your very own online course, and a brand new recurring revenue stream for your business.

This course is exceptionally practical and easy to follow. I found all of the tutorials, tips, and general insight from the instructor who has clearly a lot of experience building online courses to be very useful for me and I am very motivated to start building my own online course. Thank you so much!

By Bianca M Farrugia on 5/15/2020

It's rather general till now. I'm an English Language teacher and would like to learn how to put an interesting lesson together. I can't decide if this course is for me but I'm enjoying the sessions and I'm sure I'll learn something by the end.

This course gives you an overall view; however, it isn't as depth as I needed it to be in teaching how to create online courses.

By Amy Shay on 4/12/2020

This course is outstanding. I do not plan to go into business as an online instructor. I teach at a college, and I bought this course with the hope that I could learn some strategies and skills. The instructor is clear, organized, and exceptionally effective.

By Dr. Barbara Wong on 3/1/2020

Basically I think the course is very clear and useful for the beginner like me who has no prior experience in developing online courses. But some content videos on the screen are quite blurred, so they were difficult to see clearly, and some software was outdated. But overall, it still quite a good course for beginners.

By Carrill Melville-Sutherland on 6/14/2018

i have not done many online courses but this one by far is the best. I am very happy that i chose this course to learn how to teach online, it was in and of itself the lesson. when i review the different sections i will have the relevant resources in hand.

By Juha Tuomi on 1/7/2018

Great course with many good advices and guidelines. I have a license for Adobe Premier at my work, so I decided to use that instead as a editor for my video lectures. This course still gives all the valuable thoughts about what to think about and why before recording and what it does for the editing. Great teacher with wide knowledge about creating online courses.

By Tomas Verver on 3/27/2017

By Lauren Lapointe on 2/2/2016

I have taken many courses on teaching online - and while I have enjoyed them all and learned something from each one, this is definitely one of my favorites. The instructor is an excellent teacher and she is so clear and organized in sharing her info. I highly recommend this course (and will most likely check out other courses by her!)

By Fran Piggott on 9/4/2015

I have been teaching online courses for a few years. This course has put the finishing touches to make my lessons more professional and appealing to attract more students. I can highly recommend this easy to follow step-by-step course, even for beginners. Thanks, Debbie - you rock!
