Hey Alex!

Thanks for the write up! Super helpful. But I have one question…

What was the negative comments when you announced you were doing a paid course??

Thanks,
Stefan (Subbly)

For interactive workbooks, you all should check of https://ofcoursebooks.com (straight up: i used to own that company but have since sold it). They’re editable online, viewable by teachers, and PRINTABLE (since lots of folks like printing workbooks, as you saw happen too).

This is a great post! Thanks so much for sharing it and the process for creating the course. Really excellent work.

I have a question…in creating the course, did you involve any instructional designers or educational content specialists to help structure the course or design specific modules? I think other companies with similarly rad content—but perhaps fewer people with intuitive course design skills—could do something similar if they bring in an instructional designer. And, for better or worse, but mostly worse, people working in education are used to getting paid garbage wages, so we/they would be a low cost solution to avoid potential pitfalls for people with not a lot of experience. 🙂

Great article, very timely… We are building several courses with LearnDash.com (WordPress plugin) for heavily quiz-based courses – and are currently looking at maybe testing kajabi.com for video-based courseware. Did you ever look into kajabi and if so, why did you prefer withcoach.com to kajabi? Cheers – looking forward to the REPLAY of the course in summer.

This is really interesting stuff – thanks! One question; why did you opt for a 6 week course with an intake as opposed to just releasing all the materials at once and having students learn in their own time?

This is such a brilliant idea — also, thanks for the Coach recommendation. I’ve tried Teachable and Pathwrite and neither have done it for me. This looks much more promising.
