Here’s a depressing thought: Most people who launch an online course aren’t happy with the outcome. This often happens because the course creator didn’t find the right idea — one they have the expertise to teach that also has a market. Maybe they jumped straight from idea to “batcave,” creating their course without doing any research. Or maybe they made a bunch of assumptions along the way. The good news is… you don’t have to …
