Author: Janelle Allen: Learning Designer, Online Course Coach, and Entrepreneur February 20, 2019 Duration: 42:29
What’s up everyone! Today, I am joined by Dorie Clark, marketing strategy consultant, author and course creator. Dorie and I chat about her business journey, her course (Rapid Content Creation Masterclass) and strategies for content creation. Enjoy! You don’t have to blog. What’s necessary is a consistent way that you’re committed in sharing your ideas. Content creation has always been the very big challenge for course creators. Dorie shares three key points where people get stuck: time management, what topic to write and what format to use. Episode Quotes "It is important to be really clear and precise about your personal brand." "A lot of times listening to your audience is the key in coming up with ideas." "One of the easiest ways to get started if you want to create something is to run it live." "If you have expertise in a field, lean on that, use it to come up with ideas." "Content creation should not be something that you view as separate, it should support the other work that you do."
