Attention: Coaches, Consultants, Experts, Artists, and Healers…

Discover how this Star Wars Digital Effects Artist can help you package and sell your expertise as an online course to make more money and impact more people’s lives…

If you watched Star Wars back in the 1990s all the way to the end, you would’ve seen my name in the credits.

Yes, I worked on Star Wars.

I was a Digital Effects Artist for George Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic. It was a great career. I helped to create some of the biggest movies of the 1990s – Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and Twister to name just a few.

But in the year 2001, I quit.

I had just got married and started a family with my new husband.

Working 6 day weeks for 70+ hours in the office was not what I wanted for my life.

I wanted to stay home and be a mother to my new daughter.

But I also still wanted to have a professional identity and be creative. Just not in an office, and not working someone else’s long hours.

The entrepreneurial path was not clear cut for me…

Eventually I found a niche for myself as the “Shopping Cart Queen” – a title I cheekily bestowed upon myself 🙂

The business was simple – I would set up online shopping cart systems for new website owners.

My brand and positioning got me off to a great start. I’d go to conferences and people knew my name, and wanted to talk to me. I was getting invitations to speak at marketing events.

And I was getting clients!

Everything probably looked pretty great from the outside looking in. And it was for a while.

But what people didn’t see was that my time was taken up with one-on-one client work.

The money coming in was real up and down…

Sometimes I would have too many clients after a conference. A nice problem to have you might think.

Except when I had 5 client calls back to back in between taking my daughter to and from pre-school and play groups. And then a client no-showed or had to reschedule – aaggh! I just wanted to tear my hair out some days!

Other times weeks might go by without any shopping cart setup work to bring money in.

Constantly trying and hoping to find clients was almost more stressful than working 70 hours a week back when I worked for George Lucas!

And giving out my prices? Oh that was no fun at all.

Lots of people seemed interested in what I had to offer. But only a few could actually afford to pay what my time was worth.

Truly the worst part about the business was leaving my little daughter to go away to marketing events. I would only be gone a few days, but she would ask my husband every day I was gone “When is Momma coming home?”

That just tore my heart out.

What started out as a fun and exciting business eventually became tiring and draining.

I couldn’t duplicate myself.

And I couldn’t scale myself either.

There are only 24 hours in a day, and I didn’t want to work all of them!

One day I got a new idea for an online course…

WordPress was a new website software that held the promise of making website creation easy for people with no technical skills.

I decided I wanted to try and create a course around building websites with WordPress.

In 2008, I ran the Website Creation Workshop for the first time.

I sent a few emails to my list about it and then…

I made $23,000 on my first course launch!

Wow!

I was in heaven!

I ran it again a year later, and sold over $100,000.

I was onto something…

I shifted all my efforts into building up the Website Creation Workshop.

My online course was successful enough that I finally could stop doing one-on-one service work.

Over the next few years, I grew the Website Creation Workshop business significantly.

I moved out of my small town and relocated to San Diego, California.

My husband and I were able to send our daughter to one of the top high schools in the state of California.

And I have been able to spend as much time as I wanted with my daughter in her school and acting activities.

I could take her to auditions and volunteer to help out with her theater productions.

She is now an Acting Major attending college in Los Angeles.

Helping my daughter to reach her dreams was one of my goals when I started on this path.

The Website Creation Workshop has generated over $7,000,000 since I first ran it many years ago.

I have empowered thousands of people to create their own websites, and in many cases, start their own online businesses.

It’s a great feeling!

And over time I realized that…

I could help even more if I taught people how to a create successful online course!

Online courses let you help more people and build a bigger reputation for your expertise. You can multiply your impact, get paid more for your time and stop trading dollars for hours.

There’s a huge market for online courses and it’s rapidly expanding.

People value education. Online courses, no matter what the cost, are cheaper than other educational opportunities.

People are buying online courses more and more, and this increasing every year.

Here’s What’s Included in This Training

Module 1: Picking Your Topic

In Module 1, you will start by choosing your course topic. This is your most important decision. I will show you how to get it right and put you on the fast path to success.

Validate your topic with my easy research techniques. Then nail down your title, target market and price so that you…

• Know how to position yourself in the market
• Feel motivated because you are expertly teaching something you KNOW people want
• Identify the key problem your course solves so it’s more enticing

Best of all, by the end of this module you will gain confidence that the course you create will sell and help others!

Module 2: Designing Your Course

In Module 2, you will design a framework for a course that people will rave about and want to buy! Every great structure starts with a blueprint. You will organize your content into modules, steps or “chunks” that are perfect for your audience. This will make it easy for you to create. And a breeze for your people to consume….

• Discover my time-tested formula for outlining the scope of your course
• Design a powerful step-by-step roadmap to deliver on the transformation you promise
• Rapidly create your course content without getting stuck on what you should do next

And we will bring all this together into a compelling offer that will magnetize customers to you!

Module 3: Creating Your Course Content

Module 3 is where rubber meets the road. Now it’s time to flesh out your course and record your expertise. I will support you in the way that’s best for YOU to make the entire process simple and fun…

• Use my proprietary system that makes you a rockstar teacher, even if you’ve never taught before
• Create slides that make your lessons easy for your students to understand (and easy for you to teach)
• Record video lessons that engage and transform your audience to get the results they’re looking for
• Design engaging activities that help your students learn and retain your information
• Find high quality, low-cost, images that are royalty-free and bring your course to life

And you will round out your course with additional workbooks, checklists, cheat sheets, using my templates and that make this module simple and easy.

Module 4: Building Your Online Classroom

In Module 4 you will choose and set up the online classroom for your course. We will go over popular course delivery platforms (both paid and free) and I will help you choose the best one for you.

Community support is a great feature of an online course. Facebook Groups are a popular community add-on to almost any course today. And for some audiences, LinkedIn Groups are a good choice too. These are optional, but popular, course add-ons.

• Easily upload your online course and setup your online classroom
• Run an effective group that keeps your students engaged and supporting each other

Module 5: Setting Up Your Online Sales System

You need a great sales page to convince people to register for your course. You also need an online payment system to charge credit cards and get money into your bank account.

I will give you my simple sales page outline that all great sales pages follow. And I will deconstruct one of my sales pages so you can see the thinking behind it.

You can build your sales page in WordPress like I do. Or you can use a page builder tool. I will show you the most popular ones.

The most common online payment methods today are Stripe and Paypal. Both accept all credit cards.

Some membership systems offer sales pages and can process payments too. This eliminates the need for a page builder, as well as Stripe and Paypal. I will help you choose which method is best for you.

Module 6: Launching Your Course & Getting Customers

New customers come from people who know like and trust you. I will show you how to build rapport, increase desire, and convince people to buy with easy to write emails.

With my simple and easy method for launching your course using email, you will get:

• My Simple Email Launch Sequence
• My Relationship Building Optin Email Sequence

• How to run live training webinars and teleseminars.
• How to schedule and space out your training and Q+A calls.
• When and why to schedule breaks in your training calendar.
