Having a Hard Time Increasing Your Online Course Sales? Here Is How To Fix It

Resources
Are you pouring your heart and soul into creating amazing online courses, but struggling to convert that passion into sales? You're not alone. Many course creators face the same challenge.
Just like how you might feel helpless when you clicked on this article, your students might feel the same way when they learn. The key might lie in fostering a strong community around your courses. Imagine having a community where you can ask for guidance for your most burning questions. But how do you do that?

The Struggles of Disconnected Learning

Traditional online courses on Coursera, Udemy, SkillShare, etc. often leave students feeling isolated. They complete modules, submit assignments, but lack the crucial element of interaction. Often times, there are also no tools for users to interact or contact anyone. This can lead to:
  • Lower engagement:
Students lose motivation without the support and encouragement of a community.

  • Poor knowledge retention:
The benefits of peer discussion and real-world application are missed.

  • Difficulty finding help:
Students facing hurdles have limited ways to reach instructors for clarification.

  • Higher burnout and dropout rates:
Unfortunately when things get tough, people give up. When they don’t get the help they need, they give up even more.

The Power of Community-based Online Learning

Using a learning platform specifically designed for fostering online course communities can be very helpful in this case. Turion is one of the very few platforms that lets you build your own communities and manage it easily. Here's how it empowers both you and your students:
  • Enhanced Interaction:
Built-in communication tools allow for discussions, Q&A sessions, and peer-to-peer learning. This keeps students engaged and motivated.

  • Increased Student Success:
By actively participating in the community, students can clarify doubts, share experiences, provide support, and solidify their understanding of the course material.

  • Valuable Feedback Loop:
The community platform allows you to gather valuable feedback directly from your students, enabling you to continuously improve your courses.

  • Saves Time:
As much as we recommend you to interact with your students and the community, we understand that there might be times when you are away. Other students who understand certain concepts better can help you to answer questions from struggling students.

A Community That Sells

A thriving online course community can significantly impact your sales by:
  • Boosting Word-of-Mouth Marketing:
Engaged students become vocal advocates, recommending your courses to others based on their positive learning experiences. This is almost free marketing, which you should utilize.

  • Attracting New Enrollments:
A vibrant community showcases the value and support system offered by your courses, enticing potential students to sign up.

  • Encouraging Repeat Business: Satisfied students who feel part of a supportive community are more likely to enroll in your future courses.
