Would Your Business Ever Consider Online Courses?

[SamuraiRod]

Hey Fastlaners,

I'm just a young guy trying to find the best way to bring value to business owners. Currently, I am a freelance copywriter - who just started the journey - and found that I really love helping business owners find ways to increase the people they impact and the money they make.

With that said, I want to venture into online course marketing for businesses.

Basically, if a blogger/consultant/store owner or anything in between wants to have an additional source of income, I would create a course for them that they can market to their audience and profit from indefinitely.

Think software as a service (SaaS) with courses. I plan to consult the business owner on exactly what they would like from their course, do all the heavy lifting (recording, designs, etc.), and present the ready-made product to the owner to market.

I don't see anyone else doing this currently, and do believe there is a strong market for it with the growing trend in the online education space.

That being said, are there any critical flaws in this idea that I am overlooking?

In a perfect world, I get a good amount of clients, charge them monthly to host the course/take a percentage of all profits, scale, and post a wildly successful testimony on here ( and the Reddit thread where I also asked). But then again I pretty much know nothing about what I'm going to be doing.

All in all, I'm just asking for validation and serious critiquing of this idea. I know you guys are busy, but I appreciate any and all feedback that you can give.

Oh, and before anyone asks "Why not just make your own course and market it?":

1.) I haven't a strong audience or ability to build a following around a certain topic yet
2.) I have a lot of fun "creating" as opposed to marketing
3.) I have even more fun helping people make money and want to be a part of the journey for different companies

Thank you again for your time in responding,
Rod
