Would you want to go to a medical doctor who had never taken the time to go to medical school? I doubt it. Would you trust one of your teeth to a dentist who never gone to dentistry school? That too? Well, why in the world do we expect our students to trust us if we don't go through the basics of really learning how to teach in this online environment? Now, some of you may be completely new to teaching training, being an instructor.
Some of you perhaps like me, came from the world of live training, live instruction, putting on workshops, conducting speeches. And the problem is you can get a little arrogant and a little cocky as I did, and think that you know everything because I'd had a successful real world training practice. So what happened is, I didn't take the time to really learn how to make courses market courses, sell courses, conduct courses online. Line, inexcusable. Now, if you're in this course and you're not watching the preview, you have taken some time to invest. That's great.
But I want to urge you just look at all the courses on Udemy by all the courses on Udemy on how to make courses for you to me. I mean, we all know about discounts, obviously. So you can get 20 courses for a couple of hundred bucks. How many other industries Can you really get? That would be hundreds of hours of training and really know the absolute best there is to know about that industry. It's only a couple hundred bucks.
And I'm telling you right now, if you're serious about this, and it's not just a one off course, and you're doing it as a lark, you want to make some real money, you will not only save much, so much money, you'll make so much more if you learn what everyone else has to say. Even the lowest rated course. on how to make online courses have some nugget, even ones where the reviews are low. And it doesn't even have that many students. I always learned at least one tip where I think I hadn't thought of it quite that way before. Now I've only recently watched all those courses.
I wish I wish I had done it four years ago when I got onto Udemy in the beginning of 2014, depending on when you're watching this, it would have saved me a lot of headache and I would have made a lot more money. So that's my next next big piece of advice. invest a little 10 bucks here 999 there and buy every course out there on how to make an online course. It will pay off in the long run. If you follow a little bit of the advice
