Description

UPDATE FOR 2020 with Phil's latest techniques and best practices!

What is your ideal life? Does the word FREEDOM come to mind? 

Freedom from stress. Freedom from worry. Freedom from money. Freedom from bosses. Freedom to be with your friends and family.

Freedom to do what you love every day.

Ultimately, freedom is what this course is all about.

I want to show you how I've built a life of freedom by sharing my knowledge with the world. It's a wonderful thing to make more money than I've ever made before... by teaching others skills that will improve their own lives.

You want freedom, and you're either:

  1. Someone who has never created an online course before

  2. Someone who is trying to sell online courses, but isn't having as much success as you'd like

I can help you, no matter what situation you're in. 

THIS COURSE WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO:

  • Create online courses that actually sell

  • Come up with great online course topics

  • Validate your course idea to make sure it will be profitable

  • Design an engaging outline sure to get great student reviews

  • Understand the equipment needed to get started on any budget

  • Edit more engaging and super duper high quality videos

  • Launch your course successfully, even without an audience

  • Choose a platform(s) to put your courses on

  • Sell courses on marketplaces like Udemy and Skillshare

  • Self-host your courses with tools like Teachable and Thinkific

  • Build an automated sales funnel to sell your course while you sleep

  • Grow your own loyal following for your own brand

  • Use YouTube, webinars, blogging, and podcasting to sell courses

  • Increase your income by re-purposing course content


Along with the video content of the course, there are many bonuses.

BONUSES:

  • Downloadable resources and guides

  • An audio version of the course to listen on the go

  • Q&A videos the answer your specific questions

  • Assignments that make you productive while taking the course

  • An instructor who truly cares about your success

I SHARE ALL MY SECRETS IN THIS COURSE

These are techniques that I use every day to grow my 6-figure business (having sold over $1,000,000 in courses since 2012). They are techniques that other successful course creators are using to build their own businesses.

IT WILL NEVER BE A BETTER TIME TO START TEACHING ONLINE THAN TODAY

The key thing to know before starting is that you don't need anything to get started.

You don't need an audience.

You don't need to know how to make videos.

You don't need to know how to teach.

You don't need to know how market.

You just need to be persistent. You just need to believe in yourself. You just need to keep your eye on the goal (whatever that may be - financial independence, $100,000 per year, an extra couple bucks for coffee, an avenue to share your knowledge with the world).

WHY AM I DOING THIS?

Teaching online has changed my life. It's helped me pay for vacations around the world, pay off $107,000 in student loan debt, pay for our wedding, invest for a better future, and purchase our first home.

Now I want to give back. 

In 2013, I started teaching other people how to create and sell online courses. Since then, thousands of people have used my techniques to create their own online courses and change their own lives. 

A lot has changed since 2013 when I launched my first online teaching training course. I've spoken with and interviewed hundreds of other online instructors to learn what they're doing to grow their online course business. I started the Online Course Masters podcast to document some of these conversations. 

While the podcast, my blog, and my YouTube channel are all ways in which I give amazing, high-quality, and valuable training to people like you, online courses are still the best way to take a student from A to Z. 

That's why I created this course - to walk with you through the entire process.

With our 30-day 100% money-back guarantee, there's no reason to hesitate.

I'll give you two more reasons why you should enroll right this second:

Your investment in this course will quickly be paid back even just by implementing some of the techniques I share with you. There are hundreds of gold nuggets to choose from, making this course the best investment in your own education and future success.

While today is still the best day you can get started with creating and selling online courses, it will get harder for course creators as the markets get more and more competitive. You want to start as soon as you can (like today) to take advantage of this growing market. Instead of struggling and trying to do everything yourself, just learn from someone who has already figured it out. 

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR SUCCESS

In the first section, I give you 3 ways to improve your courses right now to get better course reviews!

See you inside!

Phil

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to create their first online course - no matter what level of technical skills you have.
  • Online course creators who want to make better courses and increase their revenue.

I am completely new to the concept of on line teaching. Was I ever excited to hear your reference to dog training and I am familiar with Tom and Lauren's Absolute Dogs. They have amazing training videos and if they did those under your direction, I am very excited to develop my own dog training videos using the same tips and techniques.

more about phil

My professional background is in video production and editing. I graduated from Loyola Marymount University's School of Film and Television in 2011. Since then, I've worked on thousands of projects that have appeared in movie theaters, film festivals, television and online.

Today, I create all kinds of things from photographs that can be seen on my Instagram to homemade sourdough bread that feeds my family. Who knows where life will take me. But I know wherever I am, I'll be creating.

Since 2012, I've been creating online courses that over two million students from around the world have taken. Course topics include everything from photography and video to design and business courses. If I can't teach it , I collaborate with other experts who share their skills with absolute beginners.

Video School is my website where you can take my online courses. You can also find them on top course platforms like Udemy.

Photography & Friends is a website and community I created to help new photographers become confident with their cameras.

I can't wait to see you in class!

- Phil
