SBM 140: Using Solutions from Your Service to Create an Online Course with Meryl Johnston

Today’s Guest

In this episode we take you through a case study. Meryl used her productized bookkeeping service to figure out the content for her online course. We go over the beta & first launch and her experience marketing the course.

Meryl Johnston is an expert in accounting and book keeping..

This is the 140th session of Smart Brand Marketing.

MY BIGGEST TAKEAWAY:

Productized services & online courses compliment each other very well. You use a service business to learn about the pain points of a market segment (and get paid while you are learning!). You use an online course to show how much work you actually do so that people buy the service.
