Is an Automated Course Enough?
The last three clients who signed up to work with me in my Online Course Blueprint Program had already taken other "how to create online courses" courses.
And they were not able to create a course that they feel really proud of.
This absolutely does not mean that there's anything wrong with them.
It just shows that the fully automated online course model is inherently flawed.
It is way too cookie-cutter and standardized to feel fully supportive to most people.
Without personal and individualized support, it is very difficult to create something as complex as a (good) online course.
A course can provide a path and a set of recommendations but the minute your own needs vary (which will absolutely happen) - there is not enough support to shift.
Even with group office hours and online support chat that's often offered.
Now, I'm not saying that it's impossible. After all, many people have created great courses following this kind of guidance.
It is a model that works for some but not for most.
I'm also not saying to never create an automated online course.
There is a time and place where they are totally appropriate.
But it does validate why I teach (and deliver via) a Hybrid Digital Course.
This model adds 1-1 and/or small group support to the digital modules to ensure that clients get the best possible results.
These calls allow me to provide accountability, offer fully custom guidance, be their cheerleader, and support them through the inevitable doubts and concerns that creep up along the way.
And they create and launch awesome and profitable courses.
"You've opened my eyes to a whole new way of creating my course"
"Your course made all the difference in terms of helping me make sense of what I want to say and how everything is structured."
?? Feedback I got just in the past few days from clients.
Here's a quick, 2 minute video on why I love the Hybrid Online Course model so much.
