If you have an area of expertise, then you have an asset that you can use to make money online and create freedom for yourself: you can take that expertise and turn it into an online course.

An online course is a wonderful way to not only share what you know, and bring it to a wider audience and help people anywhere in the world, but it's also a way to make money online, no matter where you are or what else you've got going on in your life.

Whether you already have a business or not, creating an online course is something that anyone can do, but I completely understand that the process of creating a course can feel very daunting.

Where do you start?

How do you choose the right course idea?

What tech pieces will you need?

How do you build it? How do you sell it?

In this episode I have a guest with me who is going to answer all of these questions and more.

Melissa Guller is a course creation expert and the Founder of Wit & Wire, where she helps business owners expand their income and impact by selling top-rated online courses.

Previously, Melissa worked full-time for Ramit Sethi and Teachable, and she's a top-rated instructor at General Assembly NYC and online on Skillshare.

Melissa has become a sought-after speaker and educator in the course creation industry, and in this episode you'll get to sit with me as I pick Melissa's brain about how to create online courses.
