Step 1: Identify Your Niche and Ideal Learner
Your expertise likely spans several areas, but your course will thrive when it’s laser-focused on solving one specific problem for a defined audience.
Ask yourself:
- What unique skills, knowledge, or experience do I bring to the table?
- Who benefits most from this expertise?
- What challenges does my audience need help overcoming?
Pro Tip: Conduct audience research by creating polls on social media, sending surveys to your email list, or even asking questions in online forums. Use this insight to craft a course topic that directly resonates with your audience.

Step 2: Validate Your Course Idea
Before you dive into content creation, ensure your course idea will sell.
- Test your idea by hosting a free webinar or challenge to gauge interest.
- Analyze demand by researching existing courses in your niche—what’s working, and what gaps can you fill?
- Engage your audience directly: Ask them what they’d like to learn, then tailor your content accordingly.

Example: If you’re creating a course on productivity, your modules might include:
- Goal-setting strategies
- Time management tools
- Building sustainable habits
Pro Tip: Incorporate action steps into every module to help your learners immediately apply what they’re learning. Kajabi simplifies the process with its intuitive course builder and customizable templates.
