I'm planning building a course, or an "online bootcamp" as follows:
- Teaches you how to program in Python and how to make a discord bot, through explainer videos focused on the concept, and interactive practices
- Teaches you how to read the documentation so that you can extend skills from the course to any project that you want to embark in
- Live chat/video support for whenever anyone needs help to fix their code
- Weekly accountability calls to see what they are struggling on
- Details are not at all fixed
- Full money-back guarantee if they cannot make a discord bot within a certain time period (~30 days)
The main selling point is that most people want to learn how to program, but don't know where to start, and are overwhelmed by the number of unorganised resources online or don't have the discipline to push through. It doesn't have to be making a discord bot, but learning programming is often much more effective if there is some end goal/project to work towards.
I have experience in this matter, as I've been making discord bots for over 50 unique clients previously on Fiverr. I came up with this idea when one of my clients recently asked me if I wanted to teach them how to program, and I did a few sessions with him for 30 pounds an hour.
However, the main problem is, I currently don't have a very large circle of influence. I've just turned 18 and will be heading to Cambridge University to do computer science university next year (yeah, I know, probably not the most fastlane strategy, but I just have to go with what my parents want for now). The only people I can pitch to are my close family or my fellow students. Most of them either can't afford a course like this, or don't have the interest/time to do a course like this. Also it just feels kind of wrong to be selling to people so close to you. I have considered purchasing ads on reddit or google, but they are quite expensive and I don't know if I it is worth it to invest a chunk of money into it, and I don't know how effective they will be.
Am I doing anything wrong? I feel like my social circle is very small, and hopefully that will change when I attend university and beyond. However, is there anything that I can do right now so that I can find an audience to sell to? To plan ahead, what are some things I can do at this age to expand my zone of influence? Thank you.
