Ever wondered, “What are the exact steps I can take to turn my amazing in-person professional development training into an equally amazing online course?” Well… here’s your answer! And it’s not as easy as making a bunch of slides and recording yourself talking over them. (That’s not easy, anyway!)

In this episode, we’re talking about alternatives to the traditional modules and lessons structure of an online course, especially for those of you who are turning an in-person professional development training into an online experience. If you have an online course and you haven’t looked at your course completion rates or asked from feedback for your learners yet, we encourage you to do just that! Because if your learners aren’t consuming your course, you’re not actually making the impact you set out to make… and it could be the exact reason your course stopped selling. We’ll share our top reasons for learner drop off and tell you how to avoid it. And of course, we’ll share more about our PopStudio tools- because we were able to 5x one course creator’s completion rates with our tools and methods… so we’re sharing it all!

Megan and I have supported hundreds of course creators between the two of us and have created our own online programs. We’ve worked with teachers, educational consultants, business consultants, and all kinds of entrepreneurs from dog trainers to branding experts to home organization gurus. We help thought leaders turn their expertise into a unique, shareable offer… and we love doing it! Megan focuses on creating the best online learning experience, which helps you get more feedback, better testimonials, and make more impact! I focus on program messaging and marketing, which helps you figure out exactly how to talk about the methods you teach in your online program in a way that makes people want to dive right in and then share it with their friends… immediately. 

We’re so passionate about our work, that we’ve put our brains together to create a space for you to craft better learning experiences that are totally wow-worthy and shareable. Our newest program design studio, PopStudio, is your place to get support to think outside of the box when it comes to program design and marketing, so that you can create something that actually impacts… and sets your offer apart from the rest. Now through January 1st of 2024, we’re offering support for course creators who want to work with us on the first or next design of their program. 

We’ll help you sort out your ideas into a unique map of your knowledge, and we’ll uncover your unique methodology so that you have the right words and visuals to share with your audience that will be different from what they’ve heard before. We’ll help you create your learning experience in half the time (because we believe you can do so much better than a string of 20 minute talking head videos…. so we’ve custom built a platform to support you, where you can embed PDFs, demo videos, and other resources and add your own annotations to turn this into a one-of-a-kind experience). During our time working together, we’ll support you from the initial map of ideas all the way through the launch of your program using PopStudio’s custom creator tools to help deliver a learning experience your audience will rave about. 

We can work on your program design as part of our group coaching program, or you can snag one of our limited spots for 1:1 support, along with a private Slack channel and 1:1 support calls with our team of program design strategists. Both packages come with one year all-access pass to our PopStudio creator platform, where they’ll be able to interact with your online course by taking digital notes alongside your resources and use our project management system to track tasks you’ve assigned. We’re just at the beginning of building out our creator studio, so we’re excited to get you on board to share your ideas and help us shape the ultimate learning experience platform. Head to the link in the shownotes to learn more about our limited-time offer for group coaching and 1:1 services alongside the use of our PopStudio platform.
