Chris and Gary dive into some best practices for course creators, and Gary shares his journey of creating courses for voice-over artists at GravyForTheBrain.com. Mindset is a large part of creating valuable content for your students. One important example of this is to think of students as clients rather than customers, because then you really focus on getting them results rather than making a sale, and that is when true learning happens.
Engaging people in your content is more challenging than it has ever been before. With all of the noise on the internet, everything is trying to get your students’ attention. Gary and Chris talk about how it is important to bring new ideas to the table and add value to your community. Teach in the mindset of a conversation rather than a broadcast.
Chris and Gary dive into why you should think of your customers as clients rather than customers, because then you are in the mindset of delivering results. If you do private coaching with your course or membership site, it is very important to do pre-meeting prep work to truly understand your client’s needs and make the best use of their time.
WP Slide Sync gives you the ability to sync your video with a PowerPoint presentation, so your students can click around to the parts of the video they want to see without having to invest a lot of time and effort finding the exact starting point in the video themselves. It is an interesting way to enhance longer video experiences for learners. You can find it at WPSlideSync.com.
