A course creators guide to systems.
One of the biggest struggles for course creators is writing content.
Look, I get it. You’re great at solving a problem.
But..
When it comes to writing, everything changes.
I know that terms like full stack creators are ruling the content space.
But you have to ask yourself this.
Do you need to be a Jack of all trades?
The answer is no.
You should focus on tasks that are directly making you money.
As for the rest, you should outsource.
Writing is a high-income skill that will build your audience, build relationships and, most importantly, make you sales.
Writing is one of the core pillars of a course creator’s toolbox.
Today’s letter will not be about outsourcing, and it’s not about writing either, but about systems.
Today, we’ll start implementing your content system.
Let’s cut to the chase with a quick and dirty system to get you started.
Step 1: Mind Mapping Magic.
Map out your ideas on paper. Chaos is cool at this stage. Let your creativity run wild. This is the fun part.
Step 2: Opening Oomph.
Your opening is the first date. Make it count! Inject curiosity, drop a bombshell, or share a jaw-dropping fact. Hook ’em from the start.
Step 3: Conversational Charm.
Write like you’re chatting over coffee. Lose the jargon, keep it simple, and let your personality shine. Make your words dance, not stumble.
Step 4: Edit Like a Samurai
Slash the fluff. Like Gary Halbert used to say:
My first drafts are even worse than yours. But I’m the king of editing. Write your post and be fearless with your word sword.
If a point isn’t clear, cut it out.
Step 5: Grand Finale.
Always end with a call to action. You’re not in the business of writing a novel in the hope it sells.
You sell courses and services.
You’re a direct response marketer with one goal: all your content invites your reader to take action.
That’s where the money is made.
