Listen "189: Online Course Website Design, Event Management, and Questioning Client Decisions"
Episode Synopsis
Expert WordPress consultant Sallie Goetsch joins us on this episode of LMScast with Chris Badgett of LifterLMS to discuss optimization in online course website design, event management, questioning client decisions, and using online courses as a consultant.
There are four types of people necessary for building online courses: Technologist, Expert, Teacher, and Community Builder. It is important to focus on your strengths when building a course, so you can deliver the most value to your students and be clear on the result you are delivering to your students.
Sallie shares her story of how she got into the WordPress space and what it means to use a self-hosted course platform like WordPress and LifterLMS versus a hosted platform like Udemy or Teachable. Chris and Sallie also delve into what opportunities there are in the online education industry for consultants.
When you are working with clients, it can sometimes be intimidating to contest them on the decisions they want to make. But as Sallie illustrates, it is your duty as a consultant to give the client their ideal result, so it is better to have a discussion about their decisions at the start rather than waiting until they have a product that doesn’t make them happy or get them the optimal result.
