Learn an eight-step formula to quickly write course descriptions that enroll students, featuring attention grabbing openings, credential positioning, a four-part story, obstacle removal, and proof of results.
Craft compelling course descriptions by front-loading the big benefit for learners, clearly stating the end result, and keeping the message short to grab attention.
Establish trust by showing real results rather than credentials. Name yourself and share specific numbers to prove your effectiveness, while avoiding promised income guarantees to keep enrolments honest.
Learn to differentiate your course by presenting a clear comparison: describe the normal method, reveal its pitfalls, and show how your approach delivers faster, easier, better results.
Learn to craft your course description using a story and the four w's, a simple yet powerful structure that answers essential questions about your course.
Identify your audience's problems in a brief story to build rapport, relate to students, and hint at a forthcoming solution your course will teach.
Learn to reveal the tried solutions you explored—books, courses, and videos—and truthfully discuss what worked or didn’t, to eliminate options and persuade enrollment.
Apply the third w of your story from the course description writing formula by describing your discovery without revealing the solution, keeping your students intrigued through a compelling narrative.
Close step four by detailing what you discovered and what learners can do now to achieve real-life benefits and measurable results.
Learn how to remove objections in your course description to boost enrollments by addressing buyers' concerns, with practical examples and steps to handle objections effectively.
Discover how bullet points using a feature-benefit formula boost sales for Udemy courses. Craft each lecture's bullet points and weave them into your course description.
Use the proven final-step of asking for the sale and repeating the big benefit at the start and end of your description to boost enrollments.
Copy and paste reviews into your course description, but first ask the student for permission. Place these reviews near the top to reinforce your claims and influence potential buyers.
If your course description is not written in the right way, you get less students.

"Hello Ian. I truly enjoyed the course and will take action.
I actually have a course that I was ready to publish. I realized that my lesson titles and my intro videos were totally giving everything away. My course outline was a clear give-away - the student would practically know everything. So basically this means I need to revisit the design of my course and reshoot my videos keeping in mind everything that you shared in your course about building the student's curiousity.
Thanks again for sharing this course. I also joined your Facebook group. Thanks for everything. My future courses will be better because of you.
Thanks,
Inez Jordan."

My name is Ian Stables. At the time of writing this, I have more than 51,000 students. A big reason for this is because of this formula.
My descriptions used to be so so. Results were the same. Every time I created a course, I used to look at the screen and struggle thinking about what I should write.
I decided to find out what worked. I already had a lot of knowledge about writing sales letters. But there was something different required for the online course audience.
So I took every course I could find that talked about course descriptions. I read lots of books on course selling and marketing. I went on Youtube and even contacted some of the top instructors. Most of what I learned wasn't very effective. However, I did find some gems.
I decided to look at the best courses and look at their descriptions. I was looking for what they had that would work. I used what I found and combined it with the knowledge I already had about writing sales letters. I also came up with some great ideas of my own. To find out what worked, I tested everything.
In the end, I came up with a seven step process. It included all the elements that really sell to get students to enrol in a course. They are also arranged in the right order to get the best result.
With this process, I now find it easier and faster writing my course descriptions. My results are also far beter then when I started.
You will learn this process in this course.
Now you may be thinking, that's alright for you Ian. You're a writer. I won't be able to do that. You don't need to be a writer. As long as you can spell and write short parragraphs, you can do this. The process is in easy chunks. A twelve year old could do it.
You might be happy with the results you are already getting. I am delighted for you. But why not get better results by using this simple to follow process.
Start using this process now. Every day you wait, the more results you will miss.
This is how this formula works:
- It gets students interested in your course immediately
- Lets students know you know what you're talking aobut
- Increases their desire to join
- Removes reasons that would stop them enrolling (Very effective)
- Gets them excited about what you're teaching
- Gets them to enrol now
Let me show you how to write course descriptions that get results. Enrol now
