Why Online Courses?
- To put your resources and knowledge to good use
- To provide a different way for people to connect and work with you
- To give an added extra to a package or programme you are offering
- To bring in recurring income
Online courses are increasingly popular and take many forms.
The focus of The Marvellous Online Course Course is on either self-guided experiences, where you pre-record all of the course and the customer completes the course in their own time. Or, a mostly pre-recorded course which is time-bound and also has elements of live delivery and community.
There are a plethora of platforms to host your courses and all sorts of tech you may or may not need. We will work through all these choices so you can make informed, efficient decisions and take action.
The Marvellous Online Course Course!
(Of course)
A three week programme equipping you with all you need to get started with the planning, building and launching of your first online course.
This course is for you if:
You are an artist or arts organisation who might be looking for a new way to generate income.
You have run workshops in the past where you spent ages prepping, everyone enjoyed it and then you never ran it again... You can turn that wisdom into a product that can bring in recurring revenue!
You are looking for different ways to engage with your target audience or want to give your particpants something extra to explore around your work.
You've got an idea for a course in mind, but you don't know where to start.
You need help coming up with the idea, but you know this is a good business strategy.
You'd love to create a course, but are scared about doing it. (I've got you. Through working together you can get it done!)

A bit about me
Throughout my career in theatre, participatory arts and heritage, I've always explored different ways of facilitating, of galvanising people into action and engaging audiences in a more interactive way than passively consuming the arts.
I, like many people in the creative sector, love making new things. To that end, I'd often pour love and many hours into creating live workshops which after facilitating once would never see the light of day again. What a waste!
I trained as a transformational coach at the beginning of 2020 (excellent timing, with hindsight) and have been working with 1-2-1 clients and facilitating a broad range of workshops on all sorts of themes from mindset to business strategy.
I really love creating online courses, knowing that the knowledge and the skills I'm sharing will be out there for people to access on a far broader scale than in the confines of a one off workshop.
I also love supporting creatives to make their own courses and with it the realisation that it's not too hard a thing to achieve and can be pivotal for your business.
Oh, and if you're wondering why I have such a beautiful bald bonce, head over to the blog (pun intended) to find out more about all that.
