I&#8217;m Sharing With You Is The Route You&#8217;ll Want To Take<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve never created or sold a digital course before, here&#8217;s the plain truth:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>You don&#8217;t know&#8230;what you don&#8217;t know.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>That means you can&#8217;t possibly know what tool, platform, software, service or you-name-it will work best for you. You have no point of reference and no experience to draw from.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So spending money on any of these things is a pointless gamble and usually an outright waste.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Only once you&#8217;ve got a course under your belt (and sales for that course under your belt) can you know which tool, platform, software, service or you-name-it might be worth investing in&#8230;<em>because it makes your life easier.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And then there&#8217;s this.<\/p>\n<p>The #1 reason why people never take that idea in their head and actually create a course <em><strong>is because the tech involved is overwhelming. <\/strong><\/em>That means sooner or later, tech trips them up and makes them quit.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;ve paid for a bunch of tech&#8230;that you have no clue how to use&#8230;then this overwhelm (and your stress-level) only gets multiplied.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That&#8217;s why you want to start out with 100% free tools for creating and selling your first digital course<\/strong>. Free tech is simpler. It saves you time. It costs you nothing. And as a result, you&#8217;re much more likely to actually create your course.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and even better, I&#8217;m about to show you how to use all of this free tech, step by step.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"But_Wait%E2%80%A6Why_Should_You_Believe_Anything_I_Have_To_Say\"><\/span>But Wait&#8230;Why Should You Believe Anything I Have To Say?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Good question. Here&#8217;s the answer.<\/p>\n<p>My name is Dave Kaminski, the guy who created everything you&#8217;re seeing here.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably never heard of me. That&#8217;s because I don&#8217;t do shameless self-promotion like many of my counterparts. Instead, I prefer to fly under the radar. Plus, it helps that I&#8217;m more or less allergic to social media.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But way back in 2007, I founded Web Video University<\/strong> &#8211; a resource that teaches people the no bullsh*#! ways to create, market and sell digital products.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I&#8217;ve personally been creating and selling digital products for 20 years (as of 2019).<\/p>\n<p><strong>To date, I&#8217;ve created and marketed over 260 digital courses<\/strong>. Do the math, that&#8217;s an average of 13 courses a year, for 20 years. Yea, I&#8217;m prolific.<\/p>\n<p><b>And I&#8217;ve done all of this 100% myself. <\/b>No assistants, no team, no freelancers, no employees.

You&#8217;ll need to create your lesson syllabus, your slide decks for the lessons, record your lessons, edit out your mistakes, upload your videos to a video platform, install a membership plugin on your website (I&#8217;m assuming you&#8217;re using WordPress), configure numerous settings for that plugin, integrate a payment processor like PayPal or Stripe into the plugin, create an order form, create a thank you page, create a login page, create an account page, create the page or pages that will hold your course lessons, add your video lessons to the page or pages that will hold your video lessons, protect the page or pages that hold your video lessons with your membership plugin and then test everything with a sample purchase.<\/p>\n<p>I know it sounds like a lot, but I promise it&#8217;s not that bad&#8230;especially if you break it down step by step.<\/p>\n<p>I call it a <em><strong>digital course recipe<\/strong><\/em>.

Imagine someone is sitting next to you who doesn&#8217;t know the first thing about what you&#8217;re going to teach them. So how would you teach that person? What would you shown them first, next, what&#8217;s after that, and then after that and last? And then whatever that process is for you, it becomes your list of lessons.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>In other words, your list of lessons is simply the chronological order of how you would teach someone to do something.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s the one thing to keep in mind when it comes to digital courses. <strong>You want each individual lesson to be 10 minutes or less<\/strong>. That&#8217;s because people generally don&#8217;t have the attention span to watch a video longer than that.<\/p>\n<p>What if you estimate a lesson will take 20 minutes to teach? Split it into two lessons; part 1 and part 2.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t rocket-science. You&#8217;re just teaching people stuff in an order that makes the most sense. And you&#8217;re keeping your individual lessons at 10 minutes or less.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mks_separator\" style=\"border-bottom: 2px dotted;\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Make_Your_Digital_Course_Lesson_Slide_Deck_For_Free\"><\/span>How To Make Your Digital Course Lesson Slide Deck For Free<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve got your lesson list, it&#8217;s time to create a <em><strong>slide deck<\/strong><\/em> for your lessons.

A public platform means that anyone with a link to your video can watch it. A private platform means you control exactly who can see your videos (for example, only your customers).<\/p>\n<p>A public video platform would be <em>YouTube<\/em>. A private platform would be <em>Wistia<\/em>. Public platforms are free, private platforms are not (and can get quite expensive).<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the perfect digital course world, you would use private video hosting for your digital course<\/strong>. But again, private video hosting is not free&#8230;and free is what we&#8217;re after here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what we&#8217;re going to do is use public video hosting&#8230;but sprinkle in some tricks to make our videos as private as possible<\/strong>. They won&#8217;t be 100% private, but as close as we can get for free.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to public video hosting, the three main players are <em>YouTube<\/em>, <em>Vimeo<\/em> and <em>Daily Motion<\/em>. I&#8217;ll spare you the technical reasons-why, but the bottom line is that we are going to use <strong>YouTube<\/strong> for our digital course.<\/p>\n<p>If that freaks you out a little, well it might surprise you to know that there are digital course creators out there who earn 6 or 7 figures a year from their courses and who host their digital course videos on YouTube. If you&#8217;re earning that much from your digital courses, I don&#8217;t recommend using YouTube, but for your first course it&#8217;s absolutely fine.<\/p>\n<p>Especially when you add in the tricks that I&#8217;ll be teaching you here.<\/p>\n<p>To learn these tricks and how to use YouTube to host your digital course lessons, watch the short video below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"wvu-blog-free-course-hosting-lesson-02\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/370740476?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"mks_separator\" style=\"border-bottom: 2px dotted;\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_%E2%80%93_How_To_Setup_Your_Course_Related_Pages_and_Make_Them_Look_Professional_For_Free\"><\/span>Step 3 &#8211; How To Setup Your Course Related Pages and Make Them Look Professional, For Free<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably enrolled in a digital course before.

There was a <em>thank you page<\/em> that you saw after registering. There was a <em>login page<\/em> where you entered your username and password. There was an <em>account page<\/em> where you could see your account info or purchase history. And there was a <em>course delivery page<\/em> or pages where you actually watched the digital course.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guess what?<\/strong> All of these pages don&#8217;t happen by magic. You have to create them.<\/p>\n<p>Creating these pages in WordPress is super-easy. <em><strong>The problem is that most people are horrified at how ugly these pages look after they are created.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>And the reason they are so ugly is because <strong>membership plugins<\/strong> populate much of what you see on these pages (remember, your membership plugin is the guy that registers people for your course and protects your content).<\/p>\n<p>And membership plugins win absolutely no design awards when it comes to how they present data on your web pages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But this is where I&#8217;m going to help you out by giving you my own page templates<\/strong>, which will allow you to quickly and easily make all of your course related pages look professional and expensive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s an example of what I mean<\/strong>.

How To Setup Your Course Delivery Page and Make It Look Professional, For Free<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finally we have arrived at the most important piece of the puzzle; <strong>your course delivery page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is the page where your customers will access all of your video lessons. And there are two ways you can go about this.<\/p>\n<p>First, you could create a post or page in WordPress for each of your lessons. But there are several drawbacks with this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let me give you an example<\/strong>. Let&#8217;s say you have videos 60 lessons. That means you&#8217;ll be creating and managing 60 posts or pages. Plus, you&#8217;ll need to protect all 60 posts or pages with your membership plugin so only paying customers can access them.<\/p>\n<p>Then comes the problem of embedding YouTube into WordPress. When you do this, you&#8217;ll get the full YouTube player in all its glory. That means related videos will show when the video is over, a big YouTube logo will appear in the player and prominent sharing icons will appear in the player.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from making it easy for people to steal and\/or share your videos, it&#8217;s very unprofessional.<\/p>\n<p>In the real-world, it might look like this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/course-video-lesson-before.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2996\" src=\"https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/course-video-lesson-before-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Course video lessons the wrong way\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/course-video-lesson-before-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/course-video-lesson-before-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/course-video-lesson-before-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/course-video-lesson-before.png 1920w, https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/course-video-lesson-before-720x405.png 720w, https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/course-video-lesson-before-580x326.png 580w, https:\/\/webvideouniversity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/course-video-lesson-before-320x180.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s got to be a better way, right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is &#8211; and that&#8217;s to use my course delivery template<\/strong> (again, my templates are free&#8230;just complete the form you see on this page and I&#8217;ll send them to you).<\/p>\n<p>With my course delivery template, instead of creating a post or page for each of your individual lessons, you create <strong>just one page instead<\/strong>.

A share icon will briefly appear at the top of the video and disappear (this is to conform with YouTube&#8217;s terms of use).<\/p>\n<p>This is what everything will look like with my course delivery template.

Do it.

To do this, <em><strong>in a different browser or a new Incognito window if you use Chrome<\/strong><\/em>, enter the URL of your course delivery page. You should see a message saying that you don&#8217;t have access to the content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;ve done all of the above and everything worked as expected, congratulations your course is ready to be promoted to the public<\/strong>.
