I feel so inspired reading this. As a account with little followers it's encouraging to know that maybe a micro-course or course I create won't totally flop 😆.
This is an awesome issue, Alexandra! I love that you’ve highlighted how small audiences are just as valuable as large audiences. Never underestimate what can be accomplished with a small group. There’s power even in small numbers!
“You have to remind yourself the course is for the students to learn and develop, not for you to showcase everything you know.”
AKA Leave your ego at the door. Students come first. This was key when I worked in education with children. And working in small groups and 1:1 was always the most ideal. Way more effective that way.
Everyone who wants to teach should aim to build as good relationships as the one you’ve built with your student who said they’d buy any course you made even if you’d advertised it on a garbage bag 🤣
Alexandra, before reading your newsletter, I wasn't really interested in CBCs. But reading it over the past few months has made me quite intrigued with the concept! I must thank you for that!
As a novice, I have some very basic, mundane questions.
From what I've seen, CBCs are primarily for teaching a certain "skill" right? Like WOP teaches people how to write online, PTYA teaches people how to build Youtube Channels, and so on. Are there people who teach other things (that do not orbit a particular skill) in a CBC? I'm curious to know!
