From Expert to Educator: Creating Your Online Course
The online education market is projected to reach $350 billion by 2025. If you have expertise in any topic — and especially if you've written a book about it — creating an online course is one of the highest-ROI business moves you can make. Your book becomes the lead magnet; your course becomes the premium product.
The average online course sells for $50-$200, compared to $5-$15 for a book. An author with an email list of just 1,000 readers can generate $10,000-$50,000 from a single course launch. The content you already have in your book is the foundation — you just need to restructure it for learning.
🎓 Course Structure Best Practices
- Start with the end: Define the transformation your student achieves
- Reverse engineer: What skills/knowledge are needed for that transformation?
- Group into modules: Each module = one major topic or skill (5-8 modules is ideal)
- Break into lessons: Each lesson = 5-15 minute actionable chunk (short beats long)
- Add checkpoints: Quizzes, exercises, or assignments after each module
- Include a capstone: A final project that proves the student achieved the transformation
Course Pricing Strategy
Mini-Course ($25-$75)
1-2 hours of content. Solves one specific problem. Great as a tripwire product or entry point. Example: "Format Your Book for KDP in 60 Minutes."
Flagship Course ($100-$500)
5-15 hours of content. Comprehensive transformation. Your main revenue driver. Example: "Self-Publish Your First Book in 30 Days."
Premium Program ($500-$2,000+)
20+ hours with coaching, community access, and 1-on-1 support. High-touch, high-value. Example: "Book Business Accelerator with Weekly Group Coaching."

Frequently Asked Questions
How many modules should an online course have?
Most successful online courses have 4-8 modules. Each module should cover a distinct topic and take 1-2 weeks to complete. Mini-courses (1-2 hours total) might have 3-4 modules, while flagship courses (20+ hours) can have 8-12 modules. The key is that each module delivers a clear transformation.
How do I turn my book into a course?
Map each chapter to a module, then break key concepts into individual lessons. Add interactive elements (worksheets, exercises, quizzes) that go beyond what the book offers. Video lessons, community access, and live Q&A sessions justify the premium pricing of a course compared to a book.
How much should I charge for an online course?
Pricing depends on depth and transformation. Mini-courses: $27-97. Standard courses: $197-497. Premium courses with coaching: $997-2,997. The key is the perceived value of the transformation — a course that teaches someone to earn $5,000/month can justify a $997 price point.
