Hey fellow fastlaners! First time poster, long time listener.

So I've started making infrastructure for online sales course for creatives, after speaking with a few fellow creatives service entrepreneurs (photographers, stylists, etc). My background is in molecular diagnostic sales and wedding photography, so I feel like I can offer quite a bit of value in the way of education to creative business owners who don't have many sales skills. I have a strong course outline, professional landing page, and interest from close photographer friends, and other creative professional friends. I also had one stranger who said they would purchase the course after reaching out to about 100 people. And, I've received a lot of "no thank you-s" - which is totally fine.

There are so many courses out there right now, and some on the topic, but none are taught by an actual sales professional who also know the unique challenges of a creative service professional. I see this as a bit of a USP, as it has always been a bit of an edge in my photography business. I am wondering what kind of results I should be looking for as an affirmation that folks actually give a damn about learning this and see the value. I am concerned the market might be too saturated with courses - there are so many courses on even how to make courses :)

Would greatly appreciate any wisdom from the group on this idea & how to know if you're onto something with an idea. Thanks so much in advance!
