We’re going to talk about the four myths about online course creation. I am here to help you step into the role of the abundant Christianpreneur and create your powerful, profitable and impactful online business so you can do what you love, make that income and impact that you’re craving to make.

So you can eventually leave at nine to five that is draining you. So we need to talk about the four myths or misconceptions people have about online course creation, online courses quite literally have the power to change your life, people are learning from someone who has already gone through what they want to learn.

They’re learning from someone to help them solve a problem they have online courses give people of all backgrounds and talents, the power to take their knowledge, their expertise, their skills, their talents, and take their business online. It transforms their income, and they can be their own boss.

There are so many incredible benefits that come from extracting your knowledge and putting it into an online course or a program and teaching it online. Whether it’s an online course, and online membership, a group coaching program, the knowledge business industry is a 355 billion industry. And it’s scheduled to skyrocket by 2023.

Now is the time to tap into this knowledge-based e-learning industry. And if you want to learn more about what exactly that is, head on back to Episode Two, where we talk about what this knowledge base industry is all about. So online courses literally have the power to change your life and the person’s life that you are meant to serve, who’s waiting for you to show up and create that amazing online business.

And of course, there’s still going to be skeptics. And I know, I was curious too. And I had some reservations that held me back from taking the plunge and finally creating my online business. And in the process of creating my first online group coaching program.

That’s why I’m going to be debunking a few of these most common course creation and online business myths. today. I’m on course Myth number one, the expert myth, the expert myth says, I can’t teach my passion. I can’t teach what I love.

I can’t teach my expertise I have because I’m not an expert, or I can’t teach that hobby that I absolutely love to do. Because I don’t have a degree or certification. I don’t have the credentials, or it’s not my day job. Or for me, it’s not what I went to college and got a degree for. And I hear that all the time from people.

I actually did a podcast episode on this not too long ago, Episode 12, you do not need qualifications or a degree to start living your dream life. So head on over and listen to that one too. And you’re done with this episode, all you need to do is be just one step ahead of the person who wants to learn from you.

So that is all an expert is as you just know a little bit more than someone else. Think of where you were a year ago or even a few months ago. on your journey. I like to say that an expert is someone who is just one step ahead of you. And if you look at the dictionary, the definition of an expert actually says,

As someone who’s gained knowledge or skills from experience, it has nothing to do with credentials, your job, the degree you have, or how you spend your time, you only need to have that 10% edge just be one step ahead of the person who is looking to learn from you.

Think about this, there are some air quotes, I have air quotes going on experts who have been teaching in their field for decades. And the truth is that they can no longer relate to their student that they’re teaching anymore. They no longer can remember the pain points they dealt with 30 years ago.

The things that they were struggling with then are now just second nature to them. And they don’t think to address the students pain points or the struggles. Someone who has just learned the materials are just learned something can connect with the students or ideal client a whole lot better because they understand their common pain points.

Those are the things that people really want to know. They want to know that you can understand where they are, and you have the path and the roadmap to take them to where they want to go. When you’re a beginner and you’re just starting out. You want someone who’s connected with you who can explain in a way that’s easy how to fix that problem that they have.

That’s why it makes a whole lot more sense for someone to learn recently, from someone that’s been through what they’re going through your experience, your skills, your abilities, your passions, make you a better teacher, honestly, than someone who has the credentials and the title because you can relate to the person you’re trying to teach. And that makes you an expert.

Online Course myth creation. Number two, the trend myth. The trend myth is the idea that you have to pick a course topic that’s trendy or popular, doing something or creating an online course, or starting an online business just because it’s trendy, or trendy or popular.You see other people having success doing that thing, doesn’t mean you should be doing that exact thing.

Now, yes, if there are people in a certain space, who are teaching a certain thing and making income, great, that means that there is a viable market for it. But just because they’re successful, doesn’t mean you should tap into that same space.

The whole idea of creating your own powerful, profitable, impactful online business is to connect your skills, your passions, your experiences, your perspective, and your unique God-given genius own, connect that to the marketplace,

Connect that to the ideal client, the person you are meant to serve, they are going to resonate with you, you are doing yourself an injustice if you try to just pick something because it’s trendy, or so and so is making an amazing income with their Pinterest course teaching entrepreneurs how to use Pinterest to grow their influence.

Does that make sense? The whole idea is for you to take your passions, your area of expertise, and do what you love. Because you are going to resonate with the people who are looking to you to solve that specific problem only you can solve it course myth creation.

Number three, the competition myth, maybe you’re ready to get started. But you realize that there are two, three, or even 20 online courses already out there covering your topic. And we kind of already covered this, but you might think, Oh, no, I shouldn’t teach on that there’s too much competition.

I’ll never be able to keep up. Everyone’s going to be flocking towards so and so because she’s just killing it. And believe it or not, competition is a good thing. Like I said earlier, if there’s already people making money in a specific niche in a specific space, it means that people are already interested in your topic.

And you can do it differently. Just look at what everyone else is doing. And ask yourself, How can I be different? How can I stand out in this market space, because you have a unique God-given genius zone and you are going to do things differently, you’re going to have a different perspective, a different outlook.

You’re going to have a different framework, a different roadmap on how you got from A to B, and you’re going to teach it differently. In your ideal client, the person you are meant to serve is going to resonate with you. So if there’s competition, that means people are already willing to pay for it. And that is a good thing.

Remember, you bring something amazing to the table with your God-given genius sown. And the person that you are meant to serve is going to feel connected to you connected to your brand, what makes you different, and they’re going to be connected to your journey, how you got from A to B, and how you can take them on that journey from where they are now to where they want to be.

Let’s recap on the three online course creation myths. Myth number one, the expert myth, I can’t teach about my passions. What I love my expertise. Because I’m not an expert. I don’t have the credentials. Remember, an expert is just someone that is one step ahead of you. And like the dictionary says as someone who gained knowledge or skills from experience, it has nothing to do with your credentials, your degree, your day job or how you spend your time.

You only need to be one step ahead of the person who is looking to learn from you. Myth number two, the trend myth remember is the idea you had to pick a course or topic that’s trendy or popular. You need to be focusing in on your area of expertise and your dad given genius zone

Your passions and what sets you apart is going to resonate with you your ideal client, the person you’re meant to serve, and online course creation myth number three, the competition myth. I can’t do that because there’s too much competition.

I can’t do that because so and so is already doing that and rockin it. No, competition is a good thing. It also makes us take a step back. And think of how we can do it better in our own God given genius own, what can set us apart, and what can make us different.

So I hope this helped debunk the three myths or three misconceptions you may have about creating your powerful, profitable and impactful online business. Because I know, I definitely thought about these misconceptions as well. And I’m here to tell you, they definitely are debunked.
