Thanks Devlin. I really appreciate it and enjoyed all the great content that you shared and I'm looking forward to watching more of your content

Just Subscribed to your content! Really appreciated your content and vibe! Well delivered and relatable! Thanks Devlin!

Hi Devlin,This is the best online course tutorial I have found so far! It's straightforward and concise. Thank you so much!

Amazing video, thanks!!

We have 506k TikTok followers and started an online course but it does not do very well. Need help

Thanks a lot for making this video

the most important part is growing the mailing list. you completely glossed over this. This alone requires a 5 part series. dude.

G'day. I have almost accidentally stumbled onto 250,000 followers after I started creating content for outdoor enthusiasts in January this year. I'm now wondering how to convert that into a proper business and multiple income streams. I've kind of been niche down to the knot guy and want to build a course on tying knots for the outdoors. I lack the tech skills to do this. Is there a service I can employ to help build it? I am now starting to build an email list.
Cheers, John.

Hi! Are there any examples of successful (6 figure) courses /programs that don't teach people how to make money? It seems that's the only golden goose model.

This video is very valuable. Thank you.

Hi Devlin, thanks for the video. I finished creating a course on how to overcome obstacles...Its already done..how do you think I should go about this from here? Thanks.

I know it's been a bit since you've posted this but I have a question. What do you think of the automated webinar way of selling? What about having closed cart periods for people to sign up only during a certain time. Thank you for this valuable video - literally sitting here taking notes!

I teach Arabic and English in the United States and I want a partner who helps me with the technology part. I know my content. I am a veteran teacher who has over 20 years of diverse and extensive teaching experience. Can you recommend someone for me? I really appreciate your information. It's been very helpful for me. My best wishes to you and I look forward to hearing back from you:)

I was that close from signing up with a course mastery folks, but my daughter told me I should do it myself. Boy! Am I glad she did. Thank you for sharing my very same sentiment;)

Thank you

thank you bro

Hi Devlin,
I really say thanks for everything you are doing for the people's professional development.
Personally, following your courses and advice, I was able to get some projects in Instructional Design. Besides, I got a one year contract (remote) in a Swiss organization. Even though the pay is very low compared to the standard, I am enjoying working with my team and I am learning a lot in practice. I remember when you said the salary and wage depend also on the experience; so I take that first experience as a learning experience and internship, and I work with full commitment for the success of the organization and my own capacity building.
I am sure it would be difficult without your advice, THANK YOU very much!!!

Hi Devlin, thanks for you content. Regarding the mailing list, how do you grow it at the beginning? Do you run lead generation ads on Fb or what strategy do you recommend for that? Thanks!

I appreciate this playlist ! Thanks for your generosity 😊

Thank you Devlin.

Wow, Devlin. Your content just keeps getting better and better. I can't thank you enough for creating this series, which will help me immeasurably (my dream is to start my own dog training business that includes online courses). One question I have is how did you become comfortable in front of the camera? You always appear so natural and authentic. Thanks again for the wonderful content!

Which microphone do you use?

Hi Devlin! Thank you for this video! I'm considering starting my own business, and I've been taking notes watching this video! I had watched the first two videos before I realized there's a chain of them coming out, and I'm really looking forward to it!

we would like it

I'm from Brazil and in my searches I found your channel. I liked the content! I already arrived and had 7 digits in 2 years before the pandemic. But now I'm looking to do it organically and without paid traffic. Let's go!

I am so excited about all of this material! I am a graphic/web designer with 20+ years of experience in marketing. Over the past 2 years, I have been studying ID and doing freelance ID development client work on the side, and I have become passionate about online learning. Now I am considering how I might be able to build out a course of my own. You've lit a fire under my feet! Thank you so much for all of the valuable information and for showing up in the way you do. You're an inspiration!

Thanks Devlin for sharing your insights on Online Courses! I have been following your material as a freelance ID and developer for a few years and I'm SUPER glad to see you expanding your videos into this new online-course-creator space. I've often wondered why there is not as much cross-over on this subject from IDs. (I think because it is more oriented towards entrepreneurial audiences rather than corporate sector. ) But you are bridging the gap and I am LOVING it!

Devlin - Congratulations on your success! Can you please share what your typical schedule looks like during an average week? How do you distribute and plan your time?

This is really helpful.

Thanks, Devlin for sharing a variety of content. Looking forward to this series.

Hey Devlin, I cant thank you enough for your videos on ID. They have assisted me immensely. A quick question about mailing lists... I am creating a course for an audience who are predominantly not literate and therefore don't do e-mail but are tiktokers. What do you advise?

Great information! Looking forward to your upcoming videos in this playlist. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. Great video.

I'm really excited about this series. It looks like it's going to be great "How to do it" rather than just "What to do" training.
One question to start off with. You said you've been selling courses for two years. Is that two years since the launch of your first course? If so, how long did it take you from actually starting to work on the course until you actually completed it with your pre-sale group and launched it?

Hey Devlin, thanks for this video series! It is perfect timing because I've pondering creating resources to help people plan what to do with their time in retirement. As I'm in this age group (50 to 64), I've been amazed at the number of people who don't make any plans on what to do once they retire. Not any concrete ones, anyway. I'm looking forward to the upcoming videos!

Hi Devlin, I want to say thank you for posting this! I've been a part of your support groups and network for a while and it has been a big help. So I wanted to share two things here:

1. If you are doubting yourself, check out all of his videos - they have been one of my go-to resources as I transitioned out of teaching into my corporate job.

2. Following his advice, I recently signed up for a class to help with one of my hobby businesses. I offered to do a free course analysis for the class as I saw a lot of gaps, and now I'm meeting to discuss how I can help and develop a new course!

Y'all can do it, I went from being a painfully burnt out teacher to having a real work-life balance and having time for myself while earning more in my new job.

Fantastic video thank you. I look forward to sessions that break down each section in more detail (especially about growing the mailing list, validating your course idea and pre-selling the course).

Awesome! To clarify-- you wouldn't necessarily recommend building a course on Storyline to sell? (I don't know if this is even possible tbh). But you recommend the playlist of videos approach on one of those hosting sites like Teachable?

As always, great content! Thanks a lot, Devlin!

Thank you for this! Also, thank you for sharing your information for free. Also, thank you for educating people that there are opportunities to reach beyond the classroom through Instructional Design and Learning & Development. I think legacy platforms liked EducationNews and Journals are limiting sharing this information because they have a vested interest in the status quo.

Hi Devlin, being contract dependant is a tough challenge - financial insecurity (especially if you have to stop work as I did to care for my child) combined with putting heart and soul into building brilliant work for others - that you then have to walk away from and often can't even show due to client IP restrictions - can be a soul-destroying experience. I love ID and look forward to being able to do your Bootcamps when I can invest, in the interim courses such as this are really appreciated. Your inspiration couldn't have come at a better time, as I said on LinkedIn - your talent and heart are really inspiring. Cheers

Thank you for starting this course creator playlist, Devlin! It is much appreciated 👍
