 How to make an online course in 5 simple steps

Effective online courses are made up of excellent videos and a site that sells it.

Illustrators, writers, photographers and fitness instructors and other professionals of all kinds make online classes to provide their audience with skills and expertise. They can also be an additional source of income or even the primary job.

But online courses have come a long way since the time of emailing that included PDFs, or sending video as messages. Online courses have the ability to contain videos, downloadable documents, exercise files, as well as feedback. They can also accept payments, and build an online community--unlocking the world of opportunities to create an online company.
