You've done it: You've designed every content page you've uploaded all videos, published all questions. Your online course is ready to go live. However, how do you know the people who would like to join?

A mini-course for free is an excellent way to establish an email database and identify who might be most interested in your paid-for course. Plus, building a mini-course isn't a lot of work.

We've narrowed down the best method of launching a mini course depending on the needs of your business: first, when you need to generate leads, and an alternative approach the time you want to test your course concept.

Generate leads for a paid course.

Mini courses are a bona fide lead magnet. Offering samples of content is among the easiest ways to get the email addresses of those who will want your full training.

Consider this: If people aren't willing to give you an email address for your mini course and it's highly unlikely that they'll pay for a full program on the same subject.

Here are some ways to gather those leads, starting by generating interest in your mini course.

• Make a landing page that includes the option to sign up for the free mini-course. Here are some tips for creating an outstanding landing page that is converting.
• Feature your mini course within your next newsletter or update on your product.
• Create a segment of your existing email list and ask those folks directly if they're interested in taking your mini course.
• You can share your mini-course on social media and join discussions where your course's relevance.
• Create a blog on your site or a guest post on a website to explain a challenge that your mini-course can solve. Add a call-to-action to enroll.

Once your audience has gotten an idea of the content via a brief course, they're likely to be interested in the complete product. When you give a taste at no cost, you'll be able to hook your audience and increase the rate of conversion.

Verify your course plan.

You can also think of a mini course in the sense of "testing to see if it works" to test a new course concept.

In the beginning, you could make your course available to a few individuals who are interested. Consider it an "exclusive initial look" and ask for opinions prior to the launch. A small launch also allows the collection of testimonials to be used to create a landing page that allows you to get more people to visit your site.

Do not be afraid to inquire directly with users if they'd be willing to pay for the entire course. In the end, that's the value of the mini-course! If learners are enthusiastic and enthusiastic, then you might offer a referral discount and creating a mini-ambassador program to complete the course.
