INSIGHT

Mini Courses Are Short Problem Solvers

  • A mini course is a focused, short program that solves one specific problem and delivers one clear result.
  • Expect 1–3 hours of video so students can finish it in a weekend and actually get results quickly.
ADVICE

Teach What You Just Solved

  • You don't need to be a top expert to create a mini course; be one or two steps ahead of your students.
  • Teach what you recently solved yourself so you can relate to beginners and avoid the curse of knowledge.
ADVICE

Launch With A Small Aligned Audience

  • You can sell a mini course with a small but aligned audience; engagement and trust beat raw follower count.
  • Launch early to learn the process — even failures teach you faster than waiting to grow an audience first.
