In 2015, I started adding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkouture.com\/category\/jewelry-making-tutorials\/\">jewelry making tutorials<\/a> for people who were interested in learning to make the style of jewelry I was selling at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the power of Pinterest, four years later I was still getting consistent traffic to those posts on my blog despite spending very little time marketing them.<\/p>\n<p>I finally decided to pay attention to the analytics, listen to my readers&#x2019; questions over the years, and create a course that would address their frustrations and give them the confidence they lacked to start making their own jewelry.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_did_you_decide_to_create_an_online_course_in_the_first_place\"><\/span>Why did you decide to create an online course in the first place?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I personally love online learning. As a business owner, I have taken many online courses that gave me skills in areas that I otherwise knew nothing about, such as e-mail marketing and Pinterest.<\/p>\n<p>I&#x2019;m also a multi-modal learner &#8212; I like to learn through listening, watching, and reading. Since jewelry-making is very tactile, and a lot of times you need to both see and read how to make it, I wanted to create a video course that helps students in these different manners in a way that I can&#x2019;t with a simple blog post.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I wanted a way to be able to scale up my business. After listening to small business gurus such as Dana Malstaff from Boss Mom and Amy Porterfield, I realized that creating and <a href=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/sell-courses-online\">selling my own course<\/a> would allow me to scale my business in a way I never could with creating and selling a physical product.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-17172\" src=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-2.png\" alt=\"linkouture.com course\" width=\"1000\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-2-300x115.png 300w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-2-768x294.png 768w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-2-50x19.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_you_have_any_moments_of_doubt_before_you_createdlaunched_it\"><\/span>Did you have any moments of doubt before you created\/launched it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Oh, for sure! I worried that people wouldn&#x2019;t be interested in it. I thought maybe it wouldn&#8217;t be a very helpful or informative course. Or that I would spend more money on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"sponsored\" title=\"Thinkific home page affiliate link\" href=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/go\/thinkific\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Thinkific<\/a> than I would from selling the course.<\/p>\n<p>What made me decide to power through was knowing that I had all the knowledge in my head from running a business to ultimately make this successful and that I had the skills to share with others.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What%E2%80%99s_your_online_course_like\"><\/span>What&#8217;s your online course like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>My online course is comprised of short, live-action videos where I demonstrate a specific jewelry-making skill or teach about a tool or material. I also have text with images to help people follow along with the videos, and a few bonus videos that walk you through how to create some of my most popular pieces on my blog from beginning to end. Finally, I include links to all of the recommended tools and supplies so that students know exactly what to get and where to get them.<\/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>I had the idea to create the course at the beginning of October 2019 and hoped to have it up and selling by Thanksgiving. That gave me just about six weeks to <a href=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/online-course-outline.html\">outline the course<\/a>, film and edit the videos, learn Thinkific, create opt-in forms for my website, and write sales e-mails.<\/p>\n<p>Determined to get the course up and running, I focused on it for those six weeks. Of course, I managed to come down with a bad cold in the middle of it which made me very hoarse, but I didn&#x2019;t let that stop me!<\/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>In the weeks leading up the course launch, I started sending out e-mails to my list to let them know that I was in the process of creating the course. I put together a sales page with some basic information about what the course would include and let people know they could get it at a discounted rate before the course launched. I got a few sales of my course this way and it was validating to know that there was interest before it officially launched.<\/p>\n<p>Since this course is part of an evergreen sales funnel, there&#x2019;s no open or closed cart. There&#8217;s no &#x201C;big launch&#x201D; other than the first, which I honestly did without much fanfare.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-17176\" src=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-6.png\" alt=\"linkouture.com video sample\" width=\"1000\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-6.png 1000w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-6-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-6-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-6-50x28.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/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>I created a free mini video course, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkouture.com\/jewelry-making-basics\">Jump Ring Jewels<\/a>, that is a glimpse into the bigger course. It gives viewers a preview of my style and how I teach and gives them a few solid wins that they can immediately apply to their own jewelry making.<\/p>\n<p>It&#x2019;s worked to grow my subscribers surprisingly fast compared to where I was before.

A big inspiration for me to eventually decide to create a course was being a part of the Boss Mom community. I took a course with her several years ago that she no longer offers that helped set the stage. After following her for so long and hearing her talk about course creation which allows you to scale up it really sunk in. I do highly recommend checking out her Nurture-to-Convert system for some incredible training.<\/p>\n<p>I&#x2019;ve also listened to a number of podcasts over the years that have really helped me. These include; Smart Passive Income, Boss Mom Podcast, Simple Pin Podcast.<\/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 wouldn&#x2019;t say mistakes, but certainly lessons I&#x2019;ve learned about running a business. For the first few years, I invested a lot of time on blogging, which has ultimately paid off. But for a while, maybe a couple of years, I was definitely on the blogging hamster wheel. I posted three times a week and did all the things I thought bloggers were &#x201C;supposed&#x201D; to do. Unfortunately, that ultimately had little to no ROI. I didn&#x2019;t have a clear direction for a while with my business. Although I was making and selling jewelry, and I think it confused people.<\/p>\n<p>I look at all of what I did over the years as learning opportunities. They ultimately led me to where I am today.<\/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>When I launched the course, five people purchased the course. That might sound like a small number, but that was to a list of 155 people, which puts me at a 3% conversion rate. I sold the course at a heavily discounted rate since it wasn&#x2019;t yet live, so there wasn&#x2019;t a ton of revenue, but still a solid start. Since then, about 2% of my list has purchased Metal to Masterpiece.<\/p>\n<p>My goals moving forward are to work on my sales copy in my email funnels and sales pages. I&#8217;d like to improve my conversion rate. I also want to use Pinterest ads to drive up signups for the lead magnet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17175\" src=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-5.jpg\" alt=\"linkouture.com jewelry example\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-5.jpg 700w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-5-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coursemethod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Bev-Feldman-5-50x41.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/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>I&#x2019;m not at the point where I have earned enough from selling courses that it has had a noticeable impact on my life.

I&#x2019;ve included multiple opt-in forms on all of my popular blog posts embedded with the posts. I&#x2019;m not currently using any slide-ins or pop-ups.
