Did you know the online learning industry is projected to be worth more than $370 billion by 2026?

This simply means people are and will continue to invest in online courses to learn in-demand skills.

If you’re a creator, you can potentially make a lot of money by offering online courses to people who need them.

But, since there’s a low barrier to entry, it can be hard to create, market, and sell an online course.

I’ll keep this post focused on the information you need to start a thriving course business.

Choose the Right Topic

Start by picking a subject or topic that has the following two characteristics:

• It has a demand in the market
• You have a good grip on it
• The topic hasn’t been covered by other creators 8099 times already

It doesn’t have to be completely unique. Pick something that has demand but the supply isn’t enough.

Fill the gap between the supply and demand with your course.

For instance, if you’re good at mobile photography, you could create a course teaching this skill to people with the same interest.
