In most cases, a course would make the most sense to most people. This is why we are focusing more on courses.
To note: A funnel of multiple educational products can work very well. For example, sell a book first that brings trust, then a mid-ticket course and a coaching offer at the end that will provide the most value (and make you the most amount of money).

How do I know if there is an opportunity in my market?

Our team vets all requests to work together to discover if you have valuable expertise in an in-demand market.
The best way to find out if there is an opportunity in your market is to book a meeting with us.

How do I create a good course?

That’s why we’re here. After creating more than 20 courses, we know what works and what is best to avoid. You’ll get all of the lessons that we’ve learned.
A good course has in-depth information, is concise, has no fluff, and is easy to understand.
We’ll help you do exactly that to make sure you create something you’re proud of.

How much do I need to invest in ads?

We advise you to start running ads for at least $50/day. A higher budget will allow us to test more ads, which means we’d get better results faster.
The ad spend is paid by you directly to Facebook.
Our average ROAS (return on ad spend) after 3 months is 3.4X. That means that if you put $100 in ads, you’d get $340 back in sales.

What are the next steps?

If everything sounds good and you decide you want to start/grow your educational business, we can discuss all of the remaining details in a consultation with us.

Information

What do we do, how do we do it?
How much time will this take?

This business with only have an initial upfront time involvement and very low maintenance time involvement from your end, once the content is created.

Upfront time involvement:

A course usually has 5-12 hours of video content (more for technical subjects).
When working with us, each hour of video content takes 4-7h of work from you (20-30h if you’d do it alone).
So, you can expect to spend 20-100h of work to create the product.
Besides the product, other marketing & business activities would take an additional 3-7h.

Ongoing time involvement:

After the set-up phase is over, you’d only spend 1-2h per week on helping us film video ads, and 1 optional hour for meetings & feedback.
The work is fully flexible and is adapted to your schedule.
Those ~60h of setup work can be stretched out into 1h per day for 60 days or 4 weekends, for example.

What’s the investment required?

The usual costs to start this business range between $3,000 and $10,000, depending on your current progress.
Your costs include our service fee, ad spend, and software costs.

Who owns the assets?

Everything that we work on is owned by you - the course, website, marketing material, and so on.
