That no one actually wants or needs the product you just created, or that you want to move onto the next business idea. Even if that happens, I believe that you’ll learn valuable skills and they will contribute to your next digital business one way or another. But you might be in a situation where you are finally ready to have a regular income online a few months from now and quit your day job. Or create multiple income streams and want to add online courses as yet another passive one. In that case, there’s no need to waste time on a project you aren’t serious about. Now is the time to decide whether becoming a course creator is your next step or not. Here are some signs that you’re ready to create your first program, which by the way, can be your only one. No one said you need to create multiple products. You can keep updating your signature offer and get better at selling and launching it, until it becomes the foundation of your whole business. So many business owners are doing just that and it’s one of the main reasons why they love online courses. Okay, here’s the first sign that you’re ready to create a bigger digital product such as a course: 1. You’re tired of teaching the same thing over and over again. If you’re a service provider, blogger, freelancer, coach, or else, you just keep talking about your subject. Maybe you’ve created a ton of free content around it, you’ve had clients, you offer packages that teach this, and you’re starting to get tired of it. It doesn’t excite you anymore. You’re ready for something different. That’s when packaging your knowledge and turning it into an online course can change the game for you. This is what we call productizing your services. An online program can be the one thing you offer to all clients and anyone who wants to learn all you have to teach and dive deeper than what your free content offers.
