Create an Online Course Using AI in 6 Simple Steps

Want to learn how? In this guide, we'll show you step-by-step how to use AI to create a profitable online course, from research to content creation. Whether you're just starting or looking to speed up your process, AI can help you make courses faster and more efficiently.

Why Create Online Courses?

Online courses let you share your knowledge with a global audience and earn passive income. With digital products, you only need to create the course once and can sell it repeatedly. There's no hassle of production or shipping.

Many creators on platforms like Udemy have generated millions in revenue by selling online courses. It's the best way to monetize your expertise.

Suppose you want to create a course on "How to Lose Weight in 3 Months". We will provide a step-by-step guide for this topic, and you can make changes according to your needs.

Step 1: Research the Market

Choose a subject you’re knowledgeable about and that has market demand. Research what people are interested in learning.

  • Begin by checking popular platforms like Udemy to find trending topics.

  • Look for courses similar to your idea to see what sells well.

  • Read customer reviews to spot any gaps or areas that need improvement.

The best courses combine popular content with a fresh or unique twist to stand out from others.

Step 2: Create an Outline

Once you've identified the gaps and pain points for your course, it's time to create an outline. You can use Modelslab's LLMaster to help you craft the perfect outline.

Step 6: Combine Visuals and Audio

Gather all your visuals and audio files using Canva and organize them into chapters. Create a separate folder for each chapter to keep everything neat and easy to find. This will make editing simpler and help you create a smooth learning experience for your students.

Choosing the Right Platform

Once your course is ready, you’ll need to upload it to a platform that can handle sales and distribution. You have two main options:

  • Upload to Udemy or Similar Platforms: Udemy takes care of marketing and sales, but they take a significant commission (around 50%). This option is great if you don’t have an existing audience, but you’ll be competing against similar courses.

  • Sell Courses Yourself: If you have a YouTube channel or a website, consider using a platform like LearnWorlds to sell directly to your audience. This way, you keep 100% of the profits and don’t compete with others.

Pro Tips for Maximizing Success

  • While AI can handle much of the work, investing extra effort into refining your course content leads to higher-quality results and lower refund rates. A well-thought-out course will pay dividends in the long term.

  • Use AI tools like LLMaster to explore niche topics with less competition but high demand, such as "python course" or "hypnosis for weight loss." Combining two or more trending subjects can help your course stand out.

Conclusion

The eLearning and online courses market is growing rapidly, with estimates suggesting it will reach up to $1 trillion by 2032. This is a great opportunity for you to build an online course and generate passive income.
