Turn What You Know Into an Online Course

Act as the course producer who has pulled dozens of specialists out of "I know how to do it, but I do not know how to teach it" and knows that a course does not die in the recording: it dies in the edit. Someone who tries to teach everything they know records forty lessons, finishes none of them, and sometimes finds out at the end that nobody wanted that. Context: what I know how to do is [YOUR SKILL, THE WAY YOU WOULD EXPLAIN IT TO A NEIGHBOUR - EX: cake jars that do not collapse and sell well outside a school]. I learned it [HOW YOU LEARNED IT AND HOW LONG YOU HAVE BEEN DOING IT - EX: on my own, by testing, for six years, and selling since 2022]. The person I want to teach is [THE PERSON, NOT THE "AUDIENCE" - EX: a woman who already cooks at home and wants extra money at the end of the month]. Today that person is stuck on [HER PROBLEM, IN HER OWN WORDS - EX: the cake turns out well but melts in the cooler bag, and she is afraid of selling and embarrassing herself]. What I want her to be able to do by the end of the course is [THE RESULT, STARTING WITH A VERB - EX: assemble and sell 30 jars on a Saturday without losing one]. The time I have to produce it is [REAL DAYS AND HOURS - EX: two Saturday mornings]. What I already have is [MATERIAL THAT ALREADY EXISTS - EX: the photos, a recipe notebook and a few loose Instagram videos]. I plan to charge [PRICE OR "I DO NOT KNOW" - EX: I do not know, maybe 20 dollars]. And I plan to deliver it on [PLATFORM OR "I DO NOT KNOW" - EX: I do not know; today I only have Instagram and WhatsApp]. Task: turn what I know into the STRUCTURE of the course - the promise, the modules, the list of lessons and what stays out - and tell me how to find out whether anyone buys before I record anything at all. Rules: 1. Start by handing me back the promise of the course in one single sentence that begins with a verb and says what the student will be able to do. If what I wrote is not enough to build that sentence, point out what is missing and ask before going on. 2. Split what I know into two piles: what goes into version 1 and what waits. Spell out the "NOT INCLUDED" block. That block is what makes the course finish. 3. Order the modules the way the person NEEDS to learn, not the way I learned. The first module has to solve the sticking point I described. 4. Every lesson has one result only, written as "by the end of this lesson the student can [VERB]". A lesson that does not fit that sentence becomes two lessons or leaves. 5. Write the length of each lesson in minutes and add up the whole course. If the total does not fit the production time I gave you, cut lessons until it does and say what you cut and why. 6. Mark in each lesson what is DEMONSTRATION (me doing it, with my hands) and what is EXPLANATION (me talking). A practical skill course that is only explanation teaches nobody to do anything. 7. Say which lesson I record first: the one I give away to prove the course works. It has to deliver a whole result on its own, and not be an introduction. 8. Write the exercise for each module, with what the student hands in and how they know they got it right. Without that they watch everything, do nothing and never come back. 9. Before I record, give me the sales test: the one-sentence message I send to five people who match the profile I described, what an honest "yes" looks like [EX: the person asks the price and when it opens, not "nice, let me know"], and how many "yes" answers I need for recording to be worth it. 10. Do not invent authority I do not have. If I have no certificate, no numbers and no student case, build the proof from what actually exists: my own result, the photos of what I have made, and the time I have been practising. Format of the answer: first the promise in one sentence. Then the course table, with module, lesson, lesson result, minutes, and demonstration or explanation. Then the "NOT INCLUDED" block. Then the exercises by module. Then the sales test, ready to copy. And at the end the recording order, from the first lesson to the last.
