Profitable Course Creation Tips
From Article to Mini-Course
Almost every article contains the seeds for a mini-course
Thanks for dropping by. I’m glad you’re here. The last time we got together like this you discovered how to turn an article into a mini-workbook. You can still catch that one here.
Today you’re going to discover how to convert an article into a mini-course. I know you may be skeptical, but consider this:
Every article contains the seeds of a profitable mini-course
Now wouldn’t it be cool if this were true? The good news is it is.
From article to mini-course
The mini-course I’m currently teaching is called “21 Income Streams from Your Article.” It’s based on an article that’s done really well this year called, you guessed it, “21 Income Streams from One Article.”
I create most of my mini-courses and courses live with an audience in my Content Profit Nation mastermind/mentor group. This one is a 5 module course taught once a week. We do the webinar live and record it. Then we add the transcript. Next is the checklist and sometimes templates. Followed by a Q&A. For each module.
Module 1: Get Started Here. I provide a link to the original article.
Module 2: Article Income Streams 1-7. I teach the first 7 income streams, include the video, transcript, templates, Q&A.
Module 3: Article Income Streams 8-14. I teach the next 7 income streams, include the video, transcript, templates, Q&A.
Module 4: Article Income Streams 15–21. I teach the last 7 income streams, and once again include the video, transcript, templates, Q&A.
Module 5: Next Success Steps. A couple of bonus income streams and an invitation to their next success steps with me.
It’s even better than that
May I make it even easier for you?

As always, I could make this harder for you, but why?
