Since time immemorial, people have obtained the necessary knowledge and skills through training. For a long time, training took place predominantly in offline format. In order to get to a meeting with a teacher and obtain the necessary knowledge, people traveled long distances. Well-known experts gathered large audiences, which often could not accommodate all those who wished to attend. Because of the need to adjust to schedules, spend time and money on travel, access to quality knowledge was severely limited.
With the development of Internet technology, it became possible to share knowledge online. Online learning has opened up a wide range of opportunities for both knowledge holders and knowledge seekers. Today, experts can be in their living room and broadcast to an audience of millions. And anyone, no matter where he or she is, can access the knowledge he or she is interested in and improve his or her competence remotely at a time convenient for him or her.
An online school is an information business built on teaching other people online.
You can start earning in 12 weeks; automation: thanks to a large number of IT solutions, you can fully systematize sales, once made – 20,000 times sold; scalability: if you build the systems and technologies competently, your labor costs will not depend on the number of customers and so on.
This is why online learning is becoming a growing, fast-growing and easily scalable industry. So, if you have long dreamed of opening a business in the online education sector, now is the right time. And in this article I will tell you what your first steps should ideally be on the way to creating your successful online school on the example of a step-by-step checklist developed by us.
But what to do if you want to open your own online school, but you don’t have any special knowledge or talents? The answer is simple – find an expert and become his producer, monetizing his talent. You can know nothing at all, but at the same time to earn! True, in order to do this, you will have to become the organizer and producer of the expert, to develop your project with him. You will be responsible for all the issues related to attracting the right people to the project (technical team, tagline, contractors, etc.), marketing and coordination of the process.
Often an expert will earn less than a producer, because you can have the best product in the world, but if you don’t know how to sell it, you will never earn anything. Steve Wozniak was more technologically savvy than Steve Jobs, but Steve Jobs was a marketing genius: he knew exactly what his customers needed and he understood that it was not about being the best violinist but about conducting an orchestra.
