What are some of the problems course creators face?

Course creators often get stuck in the planning phase. But immediately after that, they often struggle to find time to create the course content or keep working for months or years trying to finish a very large course.

How can I find time to finish my course?

Try to have regular days of the week or time scheduled to work on your course. Then try to protect this time so that you make progress every week. You can also treat it like a season, and avoid other activities while you work on this course goal.

Should I start with a large course?

We don't recommend that your first course is a very large course. By starting with a smaller course, you will go through the entire course creation process and build the skills required to make a large course.

How can I make my course smaller?

You can create a topical spotlight course instead of a masterclass course. If a spotlight course is still too large, you can create a mini course or even a tiny free course.

Can you finish a course while working?

Yes, you can finish your course even when you’re still working. The trick is to create windows of time specifically for creating your course and choosing a smaller scope of work that you can manage with your limited free time.
