I noticed myself saying the same things over and over to different students, and they were all related to ways they could practice smarter.

I post two short videos (about 10 minutes) each week, and I also host a Facebook Live for about an hour weekly. They can join live or watch afterward. I also send some pdfs of music scores and other lessons. i.e. I have a pdf on the 12 steps to learning a new piece of music so they only start with good habits. In one of the early Facebook Lives, I actually learn a new piece of music right in front of them while following those 12 steps.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-16020\" src=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-4.png\" alt=\"lisaspector.com video\" width=\"1200\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-4.png 1200w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-4-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-4-1030x561.png 1030w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-4-768x419.png 768w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-4-50x27.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_did_it_take_you_to_create_your_course\"><\/span>How long did it take you to create your course?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For about five years, I took notes after each private lesson I taught. Whenever I said something or taught a concept that I thought other piano students could learn from, I kept those notes in a file. Then when deciding on the content, I asked my private adult students what they&#x2019;d want to learn if they were taking an online course.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tell_us_a_little_about_the_process_of_launching_your_course_and_getting_your_first_sales\"><\/span>Tell us a little about the process of launching your course and getting your first sale(s).<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The timing was very interesting. I&#x2019;d been putting this into form all year and had been recording and sending out free videos to my mailing list. Each video was a different piano ninja trick. I had just opened the cart to my first course when the pandemic swept in. I&#x2019;m in California, the first state to Shelter-In-Place, and I could see that my target audience expanded to include pianists who couldn&#x2019;t get to their regular piano lessons. Because of the timing, I delayed the start date by a week to get a few more students enrolled. And because I&#x2019;m writing this at a time when we don&#x2019;t know when the Shelter-In-Place gets lifted, I&#x2019;m starting the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> session much sooner than I had anticipated.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_you_have_a_lead_magnet\"><\/span>Do you have a lead magnet?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, I have a pdf of the most valuable gems I learned from my piano teachers, at Juilliard, grad school, etc. They&#x2019;re all quite famous in the piano world, so that helps. And, I also have three lead magnet videos:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Demonstrating playing octaves efficiently,<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrating cyclical rhythm to increase proficiency,<\/li>\n<li>Finally, demonstrating jumping to notes accurately. That one was originally sent out on Leap Day, Feb. 29<sup>th<\/sup>, so I made it very fun and relevant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What%E2%80%99s_the_traffic_strategy_that_works_best_for_you\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the traffic strategy that works best for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sending my lead magnets out to email subscribers on my interest list for Piano Ninja Tricks, spaced about 5 to 7 days apart. I offered quite a bit of free info before I launched the class with a price on it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-16023\" src=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-7.png\" alt=\"lisaspector.com piano tricks\" width=\"1200\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-7.png 1200w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-7-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-7-1030x519.png 1030w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-7-768x387.png 768w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-7-50x25.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_online_course_platform_are_you_using\"><\/span>What online course platform are you using?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I launched the first course on my website and through my mailing list. I will continue to do that and include a personalized approach to students having access to me via Facebook Lives, all their questions answered in our Facebook Group, etc.<\/p>\n<p>However, I have so much video content put together now that I&#x2019;ll be offering that on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"sponsored\" title=\"Teachable home page affiliate link\" href=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/go\/teachable\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Teachable<\/a> (and possibly other platforms ie Udemy and Skillshare), but it will be different in that I won&#x2019;t be directly involved with the students enrolled. Through a more personalized approach, I go to great lengths to answer all questions and even record extra videos based on student requests. So that one will always be a higher priced course.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_you_like_it\"><\/span>Do you like it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I absolutely love teaching this way. I&#x2019;ve taught at the university level, privately, and at my own music school. Teaching Piano Ninja Tricks online is my favorite way of teaching, by far. I feel like I&#x2019;m at my absolute best as a teacher and the feedback has been fantastic!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_there_any_features_you_wish_it_had\"><\/span>Are there any features you wish it had?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hard to answer this one because I haven&#x2019;t taught through <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"sponsored\" title=\"Teachable home page affiliate link\" href=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/go\/teachable\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Teachable<\/a> yet. But, using a private Facebook Group has been fantastic. It helps that I have a good sound setup with a good mic and tall tripod. I&#x2019;ve simultaneously been giving weekly online concerts on Facebook (not in a group) while sheltering-in-place, so upgrading my equipment for that allowed me to use that equipment for the class.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-17493\" src=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lisa-Spector-8.jpg\" alt=\"screenshot of Lisa Spector's YouTube channel.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lisa-Spector-8.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lisa-Spector-8-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lisa-Spector-8-768x349.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lisa-Spector-8-50x23.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_made_you_decide_to_use_your_chosen_platform_over_others\"><\/span>What made you decide to use your chosen platform over others?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It really helped that I&#x2019;ve taken a lot of online courses. That helped me determine what my strengths are as a teacher and why being Live and personable to my students was so important. It&#x2019;s one of my greatest strengths.<\/p>\n<p>And, as a musician, it was important to go for a platform that offered the best sound quality. While the rest of the world was meeting on Zoom, that didn&#x2019;t work for a sound platform for Piano Ninja Tricks. Zoom is made for talking. Facebook Live is also made for music. And, the important thing to the students is that I&#x2019;m recording with a good sound setup and then answering their questions in a chat, both live and during the entire 6-week class. We met on Zoom once to introduce ourselves and form more of a human connection, but we didn&#x2019;t use that for the lessons or the music.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_other_tools_do_you_use_to_run_your_online_course_business\"><\/span>What other tools do you use to run your online course business?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just my WordPress site, Survey Monkey, and my email marketing service provider. When I add <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"sponsored\" title=\"Teachable home page affiliate link\" href=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/go\/teachable\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Teachable<\/a>, I&#x2019;ll probably be adding other tools.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_books_or_training_programs_have_you_found_useful_on_your_journey_to_a_successful_business_owner_that_others_might_find_valuable_too\"><\/span>What books or training programs have you found useful on your journey to a successful business owner that others might find valuable too?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I really got the idea to pretty quickly do a beta test for the first course when I listened to James Wedmore interviewed by Cathy Heller on her podcast, Don&#x2019;t Keep Your Day Job.<\/p>\n<p>I then sent out a survey (on Survey Monkey) to my list asking their feedback on five different courses I could offer online. There was an interest in all of them, but Piano Ninja Tricks seemed like a logical place to start because it gained the most interest, and it&#x2019;s what I had the most experience teaching offline.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-16022\" src=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-6.png\" alt=\"lisaspector.com video playlist\" width=\"1200\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-6.png 1200w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-6-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-6-1030x385.png 1030w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-6-768x287.png 768w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-6-50x19.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Do you have any big mistakes you&#x2019;ve made along the way that you&#x2019;d be willing to share?<\/h2>\n<p>I wish I was prepared with better recording equipment for the first week. Unfortunately, I didn&#x2019;t really have a full understanding of the equipment I needed until after my first live lesson. I also didn&#x2019;t know there was a way to eliminate mirror view in Facebook Live, which is detrimental to pianists as it would appear that my right hand was my left and playing the bass, and vice versa. Finally, I figured out how not to use a mirror image after the 1<sup>st<\/sup> class.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Please_share_some_idea_of_revenue\"><\/span>Please share some idea of revenue.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At this writing, I&#x2019;m halfway through my first course. I considered it a Beta Test and wanted 10 students and that&#x2019;s how many enrolled for the $199 course. So, I made just under 2K. I&#x2019;ll allow more in the course for the next session, and I&#x2019;m charging $299. As I get more experienced, I&#x2019;ll be increasing my prices.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Please_tell_us_a_little_about_what_the_money_you%E2%80%99ve_earned_from_your_course_has_done_for_you\"><\/span>Please tell us a little about what the money you&#8217;ve earned from your course has done for you.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since the course was launched just at the start of shelter-in-place, it helped to make up for other income I would have lost from students not able to take in-person private lessons, and also for income lost from canceled performances. Moving forward, I&#x2019;m planning on turning online courses into my regular income.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-16019\" src=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-3.png\" alt=\"lisaspector.com photo\" width=\"1200\" height=\"549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-3.png 1200w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-3-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-3-1030x471.png 1030w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-3-768x351.png 768w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Lisa-Spector-3-50x23.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_addition_to_revenue_are_there_any_numbers_you_would_like_to_share\"><\/span>In addition to revenue are there any numbers you would like to share?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I did a very small amount of targeted Facebook advertising and my page got 100 new likes and really increased engagement.
