Good question.
People get online courses for many reasons. Sometimes they just want to learn one element, or they want the bonuses. If this is you, then it will work for you. Others want to learn from the content and boost their skillset. Most people find when they follow our courses they get their desired outcome at the end.
However, if you are the sort of person that buys courses and never looks at them, then it will not work for you. As good as we are at delivering, incredible, actionable content we've yet to master downloading it directly into your brain.
If you are the sort of person that likes 1-2-1 attention, most people find that booking that option is perfect for them.
This works best for small business owners who have an online course and want to generate more sales from their course. You may have tried other course launching strategies, this is the online course that will help you launch and market your online course, your way. That's right! No more getting stuck in other people's strategies that only worked in 1997.
