Best Tools To Create and Sell Courses Online

Hola Grumers!

One of the most typical questions I get is: What tools do I need to create and sell online courses?

It can be a bit overwhelming to choose the right camera, microphone, video editing program, hosting platform, or promotion strategy.

Well, fret no more. In this week’s video, I’ll give you a quick overview of the best tools to get you started creating and selling online courses.

It’s only 4 minutes long (It goes fast!), and you can watch it here → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIHcYqeZ0rg

For your reference, here is the list with all the tools I mention in the video:

1. RESEARCH

• Google Search: search for “your topic + online courses.”
• Google Trends: enter 2 or 3 keywords to see popular they are

2. OUTLINING

• You can use pen and paper or a project management tool like Notion, Trello, Asana, or Basecamp.
• I like to use a spreadsheet and use color coding to see which lessons have been completed and which ones are left to record.

3. DESIGN

• For stock photos and videos, check Pexels, Pixabay, Envato and Storyblocks.
• To create slides, you can use PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Keynote.
