Fast Track
Program ‘21

Not at all.

Online learning is projected to grow 600% over the next 10 years (from $50B a year to $300B a year), so there’s plenty of room for everyone. Currently, there actually aren’t enough courses to meet student demand and we expect this trend to continue to get more exaggerated.

With this expanded demand, we’re seeing small, niche topics no one ever considered to be big “money-makers” start to bloom into huge categories. Course topics like Sourdough Breadbaking, Psychic Healing, & even things like Drawing Anime are now paying some of their instructors $100,000+ a year. Yes, there are some topics that are so well established, that they already have hundreds of premium courses addressing them BUT all that means is you have to focus on a narrower topic within that larger topic to be successful. If massive “Python programming bootcamps” make millions year, for example, all you have to do is focus on a smaller (but still lucrative) crowd and offer something more targeted, like “Python programming for kids” (which makes about $80,000 a year and has very little competition.)

Very few topics ONLY work in person. If you don’t have to physically touch the student, then you can make an online version of your course. There are million dollar a year courses that teach Piano, Jewelry Making, and Cloth Weaving, so we doubt your course topic isn’t doable. What it takes to transition to an online format is just careful re-thinking about how to present the same lessons & concept through video.

In many cases, pre-recorded (or live) video can be even better than teaching in person. In video, you can be more prepared, use visual aids to better explain concepts, and you can give students better visual connection to what you’re doing (one person in a crowd can only see so much, but a camera can capture the perfect angle each time).

Once you’re in the program, you’ll have access to access questions whenever you want. On the program page, we have a little corner widget (similar to the one you see here), which you can submit questions quickly and get an answer within 24-48 hours. Alternatively, you’ll also have access to our personal email addresses and can submit questions there as well. On top of the easy access setup for questions and feedback, we also have office hours throughout the week where anyone can jump into a Zoom room and work through any issues they’re running into.

We’re different in a lot of ways.

1. We’ve created 46 successful courses on a wide variety of topics in a wide variety of formats. Most other “gurus” trying to teach you the art of online courses have made 1 or 2 courses at best (some have even only created 1 course, and thats the course on “how to make an online course“). There is no “one size fits all” approach to online courses, so if your instructor has only made them work in ONE format on ONE topic, you can pretty much guarantee whatever system they’re selling isn’t going to apply to your situation. If you got a course to succeed, then congratulations, but don’t think that one success entitles you to how how someone else’s course will be successful.
2. We actually teach you HOW to do it. Most programs are just vague, poorly explained videos that are a mix of 20% “what worked for them” and 80% “I believe in you, you can do it!”. It’s no wonder these other programs have success rates as low as 2% (as in only 2% on enrollees made their money back). In the Fast-Track program, we teach you the concrete skills and tactics to make & sell your course. We have over 300 videos showing you how to implement a wide variety of techniques to be successful. These are skills that you don’t lose and they’re broadly applicable across all digital products.
3. We focus on helping you create a successful long-term course business, not a flash in the pan weekend product. If you already have an enormous audience and your goal is to simply harvest money from your following without adding any real value, our program is not for you. If you want to make digital courses a mainstay for your business and to create a long term income stream while maximizing your impact, then you ARE a good fit.
4. You can contact us directly, anytime. When you have a question, the question goes directly to US, not some clueless virtual assistant or part of a gurus “team”. So many programs pitch themselves as if you’re just an email away from contacting them, but it’s just not true. Once those programs get you to pay, they disappear or force you to get your questions answered from other students in a Facebook group. Don’t get duped by the programs that offer a “free training call” as part of enrollment, because those calls are NEVER 1:1 with who you think they’re with. They’re usually just access to a group presentation with no Q&A that’s run by an employee.
5. We have a no BS refund policy. If it doesn’t work for you or you just change your mind, you can get a refund in the first 30 days. There are no asterisks or fine print for this policy. If you’re not happy, then we don’t want your money. Other programs restrict their refund windows to as little as 3 days, and then they make it near impossible to ever get one. One program we researched claimed a very generous “365 day refund policy”, but when you read the fine-print it was virtually impossible to ever qualify. They required that you put in at least 100 hours of effort, and implemented every single suggestion they had in the program (including BUYING thousands of dollars in equipment) before you could get a refund. Another program claimed there was a 14 day refund policy, but in order to cancel you’d have to book a high-pressure “cancellation call” with their team. The catch: They set it up specifically so it was impossible to get a meeting within 14 days.

We made the SixFigureInstructor.com program because we were appalled how many bad actors were trying to make a quick buck teaching people how to make an online course. From impossible refunds, to non-existent support, to instructors that were actively giving bad advice, there really is a lack of transparency with these high price – low effort “create a course” systems.  We’re honestly not surprised how hard it is to make a decision when comparing programs, and we largely chalk that up to the dishonest practices we see proliferating.

Yep. There are over 50, in fact.

The problem’s with these courses are numerous:

1. Most of them were created 4-6 years ago, when the industry looked entirely different. What worked back then, doesn’t work today
2. They usually only focus on Udemy courses, and assume that’s all you want to create. They don’t tell you how to decide if Udemy is even right for you. Also, part of the glory of online course creation is that you’re creating a digital asset that can be used anywhere and in a variety of different formats. Udemy is a great platform (if you know what you’re doing), but you’re really wasting your potential if you only use them
3. 80% of them are full of shockingly bad advice. Good luck figuring out which ones aren’t giving you directions down a dead-end road. Your time should be valuable, and that’s what you’re losing if you blindly follow the advice of a $10-20 course.

The biggest problem of all though is: what do you do when you get stuck or have a question?

Just giving you vague instructions is not enough to be successful, since everyone’s circumstance is different. A lot of Udemy instructors don’t respond to questions, and if they do it’s canned advice weeks later potentially written by a TA. These courses are not designed for those that are serious about being successful online.

Sure.

If the payment options we currently offer are not working for you, shoot us an email at questions@sixfigureinstructor.com and we’ll put together something custom for you.

Nope.

If you have a pre-existing audience, that’s a perk but it doesn’t actually matter in the long-run. When Symon and Evan started making online courses, they had exactly 0 followers. Today, they have over 800,000 paying students that follow them all over the web.

A pre-existing audience is nice for getting early course feedback and for getting a quick paycheck on launch day, but if you really want to become a six figure instructor, you need to build a sustainable, repeatable business model. In the program, we’ll show you how to make courses that sell regardless of whether you’re someone who no one has ever heard of.

Well, first of all, you’ll still benefit from the sections we have on content creation. You can learn how to improve what you have, angle your content better, and increase your efficiency at making add-on content or upsell courses.

If you truly do not feel like you need advice on topic selection, curriculum development, content writing, making great video, post-production, or pre-selling then message us at questions@sixfigureinstructor.com and we’ll see what we can accomodate for you.

A lot of our students actually fit this description. While we don’t think you should ignore other opportunities to make MORE courses, you can still use our content & guidance to get the job done. We’ll show you how to break down your content and re-record it in a way that is designed for online consumption. Students online are very, very different than students in person. and you have to adapt to their different needs.
