How to Create an Online Course Outline

Decide on the right topic after your research options. Next, use that topic as the first level of your outline. As you continue researching, fill in sub-topics, followed by detailing the content of the course. Your outline will prove to be invaluable when you begin creating your online course, so take the time to do it right.

Choosing the right topic can make or break your online course. Choose wisely.

You have the freedom to choose any subject matter. This is great because you can talk about anything and everything under the sun. The only catch is that you should know the subject, whether it be Chemistry or Baking. Make sure that you know what you’re talking about. It helps if it’s something you are passionate about it.

 

Choose a Topic People Want to Know More About

Know the demographics of your niche and potential students. Do your research! Know your audience and what they need.

It is not enough that you’re teaching what you want. Utilize different ways to know the needs of the audience you’ll be dealing with. Use online surveys to learn directly from your audience what they want and need.

 

Know your topic

Be knowledgeable of your topic. Show off your expertise in your eCourse.

After deciding what topic you wish to teach, make sure that you know more about it than your students do. Know anything and everything you can about your topic. You have to be equipped with a certain level of knowledge and command the subject matter you’ll teach. Your students will be expecting only the best from an expert. You must be prepared to answer student questions. Therefore you must know the material inside-out.

My path to ecommerce has been a very circuitous one. Of course, when I started my working days there was no internet and in fact, no desktop or laptop computers. I graduated from college with a chemistry degree and went directly into the Air Force to be a pilot. After training, I spent 3 years as a flight instructor in a small jet (T-37) and then I was sent to Texas to fly C130s. The transient life of a C130 pilot did not agree with me so when my commitment was up, I decided to leave the Air Force and pursue my MBA.After obtaining my MBA in Finance, i tried a few different things before settling in Healthcare Finance. I spent about 25 years working in hospitals and toward the end of my career I became a consultant.My Internet marketing journey started several years before I retired when I was looking for something to keep me busy and give me a little "traveling" money when I finally retired. In the beginning I wasn't very good and there are several reasons for that. First, working a full-time job and with other commitments, I had very little time to devote to the project. Second, I had a bit of shiny object syndrome and flitted from idea to idea without ever giving any one project time to work or even giving it enough of my attention to get good at it. Finally, if I am being honest, I was making what I thought was pretty good money (I was working as a consultant helping hospitals get financing for their construction projects) and I just didn't have the motivation to devote myself to the on-line arena.When I finally did retire, I decided to dedicate myself more fully to marketing on-line, but I still had no focus. About two years ago, I discovered ecommerce using print on demand products. This is a great area for me as it lets me design items and have them printed without all the trouble of production. I also do not have to worry about inventory and shipping. I have grown considerably since I started and enjoy the creative process. Recently, I have expanded into helping other people get started and avoid that mistakes that slowed me down,
