Using Social Media to Validate Your Online Course Idea
A practical step-by-step guide to validating your online course ideas
You're in the right place!
You’re passionate about your idea for an online course. But how do you know it’s going to sell? You know you need to ‘validate’ it… everyone keeps telling you so, but just how do you do this?
This short course follows a simple flowchart that will walk you through 7-steps to help you establish your idea. No need for a lengthy email or contact lists, we’ll use social media to test out your idea. All you need is time and dedication to getting the foundations right, saving you time and money in the long run.
After spending over 20 years in face-to-face training, I moved several years ago to online learning and now apply this approach to all my own online courses. I also suggest it to all the course creators I help get online too.
Nikie has such an engaging approach and voice, very user friendly and informative!

Read MoreI've been thinking about this since my great pandemic shift from face to face to Zoom. It's my next big shift. But I've never taken an online course before! It's a great short, snappy intro to essential pre-writing research - plus an experience how an online course might look and feel to the new-to-online learner. I hope I can go round again as I need to repeat and review to learn. Thankyou for an excellent free course. It will help me take the next step out of my ever expanding comfort zone.
