Episode notes
Pandemic Boom Created Course Fatigue
- The 2020 pandemic caused a massive boom in course creation and purchases, which later produced oversupply.
- That surge led to course fatigue and reduced perceived value by 2023.
AI Reduced Course Utility
- Mainstream ChatGPT (2023) made instant answers widely available and reduced the need for many course purchases.
- AI lowered perceived course value by replacing some information delivery functions.
Plan For Reduced Lead Flow
- Expect harder lead generation as algorithm shifts and AI summaries push organic results down.
- Do not rely solely on past content-driven lead flow; plan alternate lead strategies.
