Let’s dive into how to choose the perfect course for your goals!
1. Read the Sales Page (Yes, All of It!)
Start by reading the course’s sales page carefully. It’s a goldmine of information about what the course offers and whether it aligns with your needs. Look for these key details:
- Why the Course Was Created: Does the purpose align with your goals?
- What’s Included (and What’s Not): Understand the scope of the course.
- Who the Course Is For (and Who It’s Not For): Check if it’s tailored to your experience level and objectives.
If the sales page lacks clarity or doesn’t address these points, consider it a red flag. A high-quality course will always be transparent about its value.

2. Ask All the Questions
Don’t hesitate to reach out to the course creator with your questions. Here are some examples of what to ask:
- Course Content: What will you learn, and how will it be delivered?
- Teaching Style: How do they approach teaching, and does it match your learning preferences?
Additionally, talk to previous students. Look up testimonials and reach out to those who’ve completed the course to get candid feedback. A great course creator will have happy clients willing to share their experiences.
If you’re creating your own course, ensure potential students have all the information they need to feel confident in their purchase. Explore our Done-For-You Course Design Services to build a program that meets their expectations. Learn more here.
3. Engage with the Course Creator’s Free Content
Check out the free content provided by the course creator. This can include blogs, videos, social media posts, or webinars. Engaging with their free material gives you insight into their teaching style, personality, and values.
If their free content resonates with you, it’s a good indicator that their paid course may be a great fit. However, remember that free content might differ in structure and depth compared to their full course.
If you’re a course creator, consider how your free content positions you as an expert and builds trust with your audience. The Dreampro Course Creation System can help you create free resources that align with your paid offers. Learn more here.
