In this podcast, you will discover…
How to Choose a Course Topic
Are you one of those people who have too many ideas? For those of us who love diving into new projects, picking a topic can stop us before we get started. Focus can help when it’s time to create your course.
To get your started, I’m outlining 3 ways to narrow your focus so you can decide on the main thing. A final note: don’t worry if someone else has already done it. As artists we’re all bringing our own special sauce that’s not going to be like any others.
Your First Online Art Class
Did you know that art classes are the most popular types of online learning courses? It’s true. In fact, online learning as a whole is growing. World Economic Forum explains that over 200 million people are looking for online learning opportunities, like yours.
For more info about how to get started check out my recent interview with Amy Porterfield.
3 Ways to Produce an Online Class
Creating an online class does not have to be complicated. I outline 3 ways you can do this, including low-tech to a bit more tech-involved. These strategies work well by the way, and you can create value for your learner easier than you might expect.
Don’t let lack of tech resources stop you from getting started.

How to Choose a Course Name
You have a great course idea. You’re ready to go and now it’s time to figure out a name so you can promote it to your fans. I’ve got you covered with my 7-point checklist.
- Is it easy to remember?
- Is it easy to say out loud?
- Are there keywords that your audience will recognize? (I’ve got a great example)
- Is it interesting?
- Is the name a bit too creative?
- Will the name explain what the class is about?
- Does the name resonate with the students looking for your class?

Artist Success Stories
When I wanted to sell my first art class, I didn’t have many people on my email list. I knew I needed to reach new people, so I used Facebook ads. I’m explaining my exact strategy that you can copy in your own way.
This has worked for many others and I’m sharing examples because I want you to know you can do this too.
