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.

We talked and I described the kind of creative experiments we’re keen to encourage in my team and asked her to share all her secrets! She created a great day packed full of ideas, taught my team how dopamine makes the difference in learning and we left with a shopping list and inspired and reassured that what we were already doing was value add coupled with some ideas to make them even better. From before the day to after she demonstrated how creativity engages and lands learning.”
“Nikie’s approach is fresh, she is very experienced, is visible on YouTube and has some wonderful eLearning training online. Nikie has supported my own business as Course Creator for Aspire4business.com/academy and I am looking forward to working with her again in 2020. Thank you Nikie. ”
“I can’t thank Nikie enough for all of her support and help in moulding me into the professional trainer I am today and would highly recommend having a chat with Nikie and enrolling on some of the courses. ”
You’ve got a great idea for an online course and you’re ready to get started and create it. But if you have little or no experience of designing online learning where to do you start?
So, you've created your first online course! Everyone has been very supportive, no one has actually bought the blasted thing! It's time to look at marketing in a different way.
