In this episode I’m going to discuss the differences between online courses. In particular, I go in depth on what each of them offers and help you choose the one that benefits the growth of your business the most. But another equally important aspect during this process is the transparency that we as coaches must provide to our clients. We need to give a clear picture about what our online programs offer and what works best for both when creating these courses. There are different levels of them which include:Totally passive - no interaction, downloadable self paced modules / or even 'just' e-book style, no live guidance. Email help for administration perhaps not your answers and developmentPassive = not the income but how much interaction with host and or their team you getNext level = same as above but with email support attachedNext level = less passive = same as above but with FB group for live questions to be answered - either by an admin or sometimes live by the host themselves, either as Q+A style in a post or LIVE in the group on a fixed day and time, provides accountability and site of other course membersMoving onto more interactive with host / their team = modules to complete, self paced OR tapered to the live sessions, Q+A around the modules and live sessions - teaching or supportSame as above with all the elements but ALSO includes coaching sessions which are different to Q+A because they're developmental, growth opportunities, reflectiveMost interactive (Mastermind) = same as previous but with 121 elements includedLINKSTo receive thought-provoking content straight into your inbox, join my email list here:http://bit.ly/gentlebusinesssuccess To find me on Instagram follow me here:https://www.instagram.com/gentle_life_mindful_businessThe link to my live video on "Reasons why people would rather have 121 coaching support":https://www.instagram.com/tv/CL4U5twDdWz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
