Introduction 

This is the lesson where the magic happens. 

So far you’ve outlined everything you need in your course and should now have a great skeleton for building the body of course content.  

Now, the great part about all this is you don’t have to get everything right or perfect to succeed.  That’s because, after you create the course, we’re going to release it for free to your audience and then use their feedback to shape your course into the final product which you will sell.

So all this talk about starting your own business means nothing if you don’t actually carve out the time to do the work!  What I’m going to do is give you the nuts and bolts tactics for significantly increasing your chances of outlining, building and releasing your online course.  Your online course will become your flagship product and all your email campaigns and marketing efforts will drive traffic toward this end.

Magic Tricks

Recently, I've been really digging into magic tricks.  Particularly card magic tricks. After my son and I played a bunch of card games during our ski trip to Colorado I discovered a persistent curiosity into card tricks. 

My day job is actually in CyberSecurity so I'm an analytical thinker and I'm always trying to figure out how an evil hacker would break things.  I'm also always thinking about how things work in general.

But here's the catch: I didn't know how to play half the games I wanted to teach my son.  So I went to Youtube and starting watching tutorials on playing War, Speed and Go Fish.  This...

Let’s take a step back to recap our lead generation flow. 

At this point you should have a domain name which points to a website.  And a website with opt-in forms and a blog.  And when someone submits their email address in your opt-in form your technology platform automatically sends them a lead magnet you created in Word, Canva or InDesign.  The subscriber is then added to your email list, and at the same time, immediately redirected to a thank you page.

Introduction 

Building your email list is the most fundamental component of building your online business.  Every successful online business has a list of email subscribers. 

Why? 

Because your email list is an asset you control.  Google can change their algorithms, Facebook can change some code but your list lives on and you own the relationship with your subscribers regardless of what trends and changes the internet goes through.
