If you want to sell online courses, you have two options. Solution number 1, is selling a course around a topic nobody else sold before. But doing that is risky. Because there may be no market for it. Solution number 2, is selling a course around a topic where there's already competition. This is way less risky, but on the flip side, let me tell you this: you won’t succeed unless you find a unique angle to your course. And this is exactly what we’re going to tackle in today’s episode with Dagobert Renouf. Dagobert Renouf left a $100K software job to bootstrap a startup with his wife 4 years ago. Then took it from $300 to $3,000/month by building a Twitter audience. And he recently launched a Twitter course that made $8,073.30 in just 24 hours. I put Dagobert on the grill and dissected his online course creation strategy.

Especially when you start getting off the ground, it can be frustrating seeing other successful creators online. For them, everything seems so easy. And for you? It just seems to be so hard. It seems like an unsurmountable amount of work or a kind of mystical process. And this is why I like to bring experts on the show like the one we have today. The goal? Is to uncover a little bit of this mystery that may surround becoming a successful creator and selling millions of dollars worth of online courses. And I'm very excited about today's episode because today I have a special guest that you probably know if you're already into note-taking and productivity. His name is Tiago Forte. Tiago is the expert when it comes to building a second brain. He has not only built a successful business but actually a whole movement around his note-taking methodology. He has also just launched his book, building a second brain, and I wanted to bring Thiago on to show to share, reveal and uncover how he went from "unknown dude" to thought leader in the productivity industry. 👉What was the process that allowed him to sell millions of dollars worth of his online courses? 👉How did he get started? 👉How did he go from selling $30 online courses on Skillshare to building this huge building a second brain, quote unquote, movement?
