About the book

The book is about how you can sell your expertise. We are all experts but it does take some work to be able to sell that expertise online.

So I explain everything about course creation from beginning to end. We start with how to research the content and title of your courses. It’s very important to choose courses that will help people and that there’s demand for. There is technical information about video course creation, advice on how to create your first course, how to market your course, and loads more.

Once you have created a course it can earn you substantial money every month for years to come. I now make over $2500 every month passively from my online courses. Course creation also helps to build your brand as an authority in your industry.
