Your course needs to be visually appealing to attract students in the first place. Once they’re enrolled, you need to retain their interest and make sure they retain information you teach them. You do that through videos.

As if that doesn’t confirm the need for your course to be in video format, video isn’t even something flashy. It’s the new normal. People expect to consume content as video.

Marketing Your Course Using Content

As much as we’d like to think that if we put a course out there, people will find it, the reality is that we need to market it.

People are always on the hunt for new information or to upskill, so having some great courses available, particularly evergreen courses, and marketing those well is a great way to grow your business through courses.
