Turn Your Experience and Skills Into a Digital Product
You’ve spent years building up skills and experience. Maybe you’ve been coaching clients one-on-one, organizing workshops, or assisting businesses in solving complex problems. At some point, you realize there’s only so much time in a day—and that you could reach more people by turning what you know into an online course.
The challenge is figuring out how to create an online course without losing your mind over the tech, content planning, and marketing.
This is where CustomerHub really helps. It’s an all-in-one platform that handles lessons, payments, memberships, and even student communities. That means less stress for you and a smoother experience for your students.
Let’s break down the process, step by step.
Step 1: Find a Topic People Care About
The most common reason courses fail isn’t bad video quality—it’s that no one wanted the course in the first place. Your topic must address a real problem.
- Look for pain points. Consider the challenges people are already facing and the solutions they are actively seeking.
- Draw from your expertise. If you’ve solved this problem for yourself or others, you’re already ahead.
- Test before you invest. Have a live class, poll, or free challenge to make your class interesting.
Example:
Sarah, a wellness coach, used CustomerHub to run a free seven-day challenge on stress management. The response was huge, and participants begged her for a full course. When she launched it, she made $12,000 in her very first month.
Step 2: Map the Learning Journey
Your course should guide students through a clear path—from where they are now to the result they want.
- Start with the outcome: What will they achieve by the end?
- Break that journey into stages. These become your modules.
- Divide each section into smaller, niche lessons.
- There should be practice exercises or challenges to keep them going.
Example: Beginner Photography Course
- Module 1: Getting to Know Your Camera
- Module 2: Lighting Basics
- Module 3: Editing Essentials
- Module 4: Building a Portfolio
CustomerHub’s drag-and-drop builder makes organizing lessons simple. You can easily upload videos, worksheets, and resources without touching any code.
Step 3: Choose Tools That Don’t Complicate Your Life
Many creators unnecessarily complicate their workflow by using separate apps for hosting videos, handling payments, and managing student communities.
With CustomerHub, everything is in one place:
- Secure course hosting
- Built-in payment processing
- Student discussion spaces
- Automation for onboarding and updates
Instead of juggling five logins and endless integrations, you log into one platform and run your whole business from there.
Step 4: Build Your Course Content
You don’t need a professional studio to make a great course. Clear, helpful teaching beats flashy production every time.
- Each video should be between 5 and 10 minutes.
- Be natural, as if you’re coaching one person.
- Record several lessons in one session to save time.
- Include resources like worksheets or templates for extra value.
Story:
Mike, a business coach, filmed 20 lessons with just his smartphone and a basic tripod. After uploading content to CustomerHub, he added downloadable workbooks and had a fully functioning course ready to sell within three weeks. His first 50 students loved the smooth experience.
Step 5: Set the Right Price
Your price should reflect both the value of your course and the type of audience you want to reach.
- Quick-start courses: $50–$150
- Full signature programs: $300–$1,000
- Memberships: $25–$100 per month
CustomerHub makes it easy to experiment with one-time payments, subscriptions, and bundles—no extra tools required.
Pro Tip: Offering a private community alongside your course can justify a higher price and help students stick with the program.
Step 6: Launch and Build Buzz
Launching doesn’t need to be complicated. Focus on creating genuine excitement and giving people a reason to sign up now.
- Host a free live event to warm up your audience.
- Share sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes clips.
- Offer early-bird discounts or exclusive bonuses.
- Gather testimonials quickly to use in future marketing.
CustomerHub automates welcome emails and lesson unlocks so your students feel supported from the moment they join.
Step 7: Keep Students Engaged
The relationship with students is beyond a purchase. A vibrant, supportive community keeps people motivated and leads to repeat sales.
- Start discussion threads inside lessons.
- Celebrate student milestones.
- Host group Q&A calls to answer questions in real time.
With CustomerHub, all of this happens inside the same platform, so you don’t have to send people to Facebook groups or third-party apps.
Watch Out for These Pitfalls
- Too much content. Overwhelming students makes them quit early.
- Neglecting marketing. A great course needs visibility.
- Ignoring feedback. Your first students will show you what to improve.
- Overcomplicating tech. Stick to one integrated tool like CustomerHub.
