- In this video, you're going to learn how to quickly and easily
create online courses to sell online using the power of AI. So whether you're a coach, entrepreneur or a marketer looking to
start selling online courses, this video is for you. Let's get started with the
first online course creator. Okay, first up, we've got
a tool called Courseau. This one's great, especially
if you've got existing content that you like to repurpose
into an online course, things such as YouTube
videos or podcast too. You can start creating a course right away by clicking on start for free. Go to register. Once you've signed up, you
can start creating your course by looking under library. Click on create. There are a number of options here, some of them coming soon, but the one you want to look
at is the online course tool. So we'll click that. Because we are on a free account, we can only use mini,
which is GPT 3.5 model that uses as well as the course length. So we can only choose a
short length online course between six to eight lessons. Scrolling down, we've got
upload your own content. So simply paste in the source links, or you can upload your own PDF. So YouTube links, audio
files, most webpages, we've got PDFs, word
documents up to 30 pages or 2 hours of talk time. Otherwise, you can always upgrade to pro, which I'll talk about later
on for multiple longer inputs. So at this point, what
you're going to wanna do is simply paste in the source
your L or upload the file. I've just pasted in a YouTube
video of mine talking about how to design a YouTube thumbnail. In the learning outcome,
you can fill the next one, which is the learning outcome. This will help the AI
give you a better result. This feature isn't
available on the free plan, and then you can customise the branding such as the accent colour
and background colour. So let's go and select
something like purple, the accent colour leaving as is, and click on generate course. Okay, now the course is being generated. At this point, if it does take a while, you can actually exit and
then they'll email you when the course is ready. Okay, so the course has generated. That took about two to
three minutes, I'd say, and right off the bat,
this is what the result is. So we've got how to create
effective YouTube thumbnails. That's what it picked up based
on my video that I uploaded. And this course will teach you how to create effective YouTube thumbnails that attract viewers. So a little summary of what
the course will entail, so that the student can
click on begin course. They'll see this kind of
course curriculum format and layout where they
go through the lessons and the modules, including key takeaways, and we've got actionable step that they can take away, and a quiz. So what is the purpose
of thumbnails on YouTube? So pretty cool. It does that all for
you without you having to look for an online course platform. So if that's for you,
this is a great option. So let's take a look at another module. We've got designing thumbnails with Canva, so it's pretty accurate. I did experiment this myself, because I know the content
that I created just to see what it had produced,
and it's pretty specific. It's like while the recommended
dimensions are 1280 pixels by 720 pixels, you can upsize it to this, you know, these dimensions. So it's quite specific, and it did pick up on some of the things. Some things are not as accurate, but for the most part it
did do a pretty good job. And it even listed some of these things, making it more digestible and readable. Going down to conclusion and next steps, so you can see a recap. You've got encouragement to
apply the learned techniques. So really good for e-learning. And if you are looking
to create those types of e-learning online course products, great and perfect for your students. If you're happy with what you see, you can go and click on publish. Otherwise, click on edit. That'll take you to the editing mode where you can start editing
some of the content. As you can see, we've got
the cover image as well. Going into a module, you
can take a look right here with the quiz as well. So everything can be
added to that one page. You can also rearrange different modules and whether to make it
viewable or not, or private. You can add a question
too if you aren't happy with the auto-generated questions and quiz that it generated. But let's go ahead and
click on save and preview. Although Courseau does create and help you generate an online course, if you do wanna publish it
and obviously make it public, then you are going to have to upgrade. So to make the course
public, embed or share, please upgrade your account. So speaking of plans and
pricing, let's head there. And this is what it starts at. Based on a mini+ plan,
we've got $39 per month. You can create 10 mini courses per month and some of these other benefits. But that's Courseau, if you
do like the functionality and what it produces, then
feel free to use Courseau. If that means for you to
get your course out there and start selling it, why not? And once you do have that link to share your online
course, you can simply plug that into your online selling
platform such as Gumroad, Payhip, or if you want some alternates, feel free to look in the
description box below where I've got a list
of or a set of videos where I share some platforms, where you can sell your digital products, and in this case, online courses. Okay, the next way to
generate an online course is one that's relatively new. This one's called LearningStudioAI. And with this, right off the
bat, you can enter a subject, and I did sign up already,
so it will actually create it and put it into my online course library. But to give you an example
of what it can produce after entering a subject,
take a look at this. This one, I simply prompted
it to create an online course based on artificial intelligence. It's created the topic
and a subheading here, master the principles
and applications of AI. It's got an overview, it's laid it out in this kind of blog article
format, as you can see. So it goes on pretty in depth
and even goes down to a quiz. So it's not so much this
online course curriculum format that you saw, like in Courseau, it's rather this kind of
logical step sequence, right? One goes through and reads through, they can preview it
without the editing mode, but if you do want to share it, you can. Simply copy the link at the moment. You know, when you sign up,
you do get a seven-day trial. If you like, of course,
what you see, how it works, how it functions, and
yeah, use Learning Studio. But let's go ahead. I'm gonna share, and you
can see, copy the link. There are other ways of course to share, but this is what a student sees. They see the course, they can sign up, create their own online course. They can share and download. Apart from sharing, they can
download the PDF version. So you can see right here. In your account, these are
where the online courses sit. So you can take a look at another example that are callisthenics
mastery going there. You can take a look at
some of the examples here. So this one's more related to training and of course, exercise. Let's go ahead and experiment
with a another course topic. This time I'm going to
put in leadership skills for entrepreneurs and
click on create course. Okay, the course has generated. It took about two minutes. In this case, we've got leadership skills for entrepreneurs, a
stock image I presume, and a subheading, as well as an overview and some of the modules. And this bar does appear at
the top that it's made up. You will be in the editing mode. So this means that you can
edit anything you want. And if you don't want
to put entrepreneurs, it can be, you know, for
small business owners or whatnot, you can type
away, edit away the image. You can edit right here. There is a setting at the top where you can change
the theme colour as well to one of these other ones. Let's choose blue. And do I wanna show the
Learning StudioAI logo? Of course, this is a paid tool, so you can take it away
if you do not want it. It's usually there on the bottom anyway, but just going through some
of the content right here, you can see some of the
other things you can edit. What's also interesting is that it's put together this practical exercise that one or your student
can take a look at some of the exercises
include self-assessment, complete a self-assessment questionnaire, analyse real-world case studies. So some action steps, I guess. A couple of other notable features in the editing mode include
being able to insert an image or a video in between
a lesson or some text. So I've got paste in a video
where you can upload your own, or an image right here. Let's say you do want to add an image, you can click on the image icon and search for a royalty-free image. So something like technology,
which are very searched for, will bring up these results. And if I click on this one
right here, it's uploading now. And there we go. We've got the image, and
then the text continues. As I mentioned, you can
share the course right away by clicking on copy link,
and people will see a version that's obviously non-editable. Otherwise you can download it, and that'll generate a PDF version. And here's the PDF version of
the online course I generated. So it looks pretty consistent with the one generated
by Learning StudioAI. And finally, the next
tool that you can use to generate an online
course is from Mini Course. This one's quite established. I've seen them around,
I've seen some of the ads. And here's how it works. All right, so you can get started. The pricing involves $0,
that's for the basic plan, and you can create up
to three mini courses. As with all software and
tools, on its free plan, usually there are limitations, and you can compare the difference with the basic, premium and
premium plus right here. But let me show you how it works. I did generate one called
maximising your reach, and it's probably best to show you what it looks like and what it generated. They call these things cards. So each card does have a topic and things such as an introduction. We've got a definition
of social media benefits. It goes on, and you can
edit each individual one, adding an image or a video to each. You can add lessons in between
by clicking on the plus, and then you can choose
from one of the options, things such as information,
or you can let AI assist you. There are multiple choice options as well, as well as feedback. So it's quite advanced, quite
flexible, if you're looking for a tool that can add
these kinds of elements. But before we do all of that, let's go and create a mini-course, so I can show you the process. On this page, you'll be
given a number of options to create your mini-course, the first being use AI assistant. Now, if you are on a free plan,
you can't so much use this. You can try to out the first
time with your first course, but that's what I did, at
least, with the first course. Otherwise, you can start from scratch and add your content to the cards, or you can use use-case ideas. Let's say you do wanna
create from scratch. You can click that and then
enter the name of your course. Let's just name it basics of Instagram. And then you begin adding your content, your image, the actual content. And then once you've added
all the cards, all the lessons for your mini-course, it will look, obviously, not like this, but this one was auto-generated using AI. There are a few other options
here, like this AI assistant. We've got complete the
rest, correct the grammar, you can summarise, so it's built in. It's got this built in AI
assistant to assist you with your online course creation. You can change a theme by going to theme and then choosing from one of the themes that they have right here. This isn't what students
will see, obviously, if you click on view, that will take you to a preview of what
your course looks like. This is the start of it,
so maximising your reach, and we can see what it is. And clicking on the next button, we'll see the first modules, the first lesson here,
and clicking on next. So it kind of works like
a presentation slide. And those are three tools
that you can use to quickly and easily create your online course. Each of the tools have its pros and cons, its perks and some disadvantages too, as you saw in this video. So feel free to pick and
choose which one is best suited for you and your goals. But hopefully this video was helpful in your online course creation. If you do wanna learn
which platforms to use to start selling your online course, I do have several videos. So the ones I'll recommend
is right here and here. So I'll see you in those videos.
