A step by step guide to making online courses for the creative sector
Online courses are increasingly popular, from self-guided experiences that people can buy and do at a time that suits them to a live set-date course, bringing people from across the globe to learn together, or something in between these with pre-recorded and live elements mixed together.
There are a plethora of platforms to host your courses and all sorts of tech you may or may not need. In this webinar I'll talk you through how to create your own DIY course with minimal tech and investment.
This webinar is for you if:
You are an artist or arts organisation or you run any small business and you're looking for new ways to generate income.
You have run workshops/classes/training in the past where you spent ages prepping, everyone enjoyed it and then you never ran it again... You can turn that wisdom into a product that can bring in recurring revenue!
You are looking for different ways to engage with your target market or want to give your audiences something extra to explore around your work.
You've got an idea for a course in mind, but you don't know where to start.
You need help coming up with the idea, but you know this is a good business strategy.
Oh and I mentioned it's all completely free, right?

A bit about me
Throughout my career in theatre, participatory arts and heritage, I've always explored different ways of facilitating, of galvanising people into action and engaging audiences in a more interactive way than passively consuming the arts.
I, like many people in the creative sector, love making new things. To that end, I'd often pour love and many hours into creating live workshops which after facilitating once would never see the light of day again. What a waste!
I trained as a transformational coach at the beginning of 2020 (excellent timing, with hindsight!) and have been working with 1-2-1 clients and facilitating a broad range of workshops on all sorts of themes from mindset to business strategy.
I really love creating online courses, knowing that the knowledge and the skills I'm sharing will be out there for people to access on a far broader (and less wasteful) scale than in the confines of a one off workshop.
I also love supporting creatives to make their own courses and with it the realisation that it's not too hard a thing to achieve and can be pivotal for your business.
