SUMMARY

Step 1: Write an outline (10 minutes)

  • Write out the steps your student might take to achieve that result.

  • Break your steps down further in the Course Outline Template.

Step 2: Create slides (30 minutes)

  • Following your outline, create slide presentations of your lessons.

  • Don't get too detailed. Share highlights and key takeaways.

Step 3: Screen record each lesson individually (40 minutes)

  • Record your screen with a microphone as your source and progress through the slides as you read through your script.

Step 4: Upload your videos and write your course description (10 minutes)

  • If you’ve scripted your content, you may already have what you need as teaser text.

Conclusion: It’s not about making a course as fast as possible, but actually getting started on something. You can’t improve on something you haven’t created, so get started today.
