Structuring Your Online Course Content to Deliver Real Results Faster With Michael Hunter

In this episode, Michael Hunter, the co-founder of GoSpiffy joins Micah to discuss how to effectively structure online course content so it’s focused on delivering real results for your students.

A few years ago, having 40+ hours of content inside of an online course would be a great selling point. Over the years the way that you should structure an online course (or membership program) has evolved to being all about the results that it delivers.

Over the years Michael has worked with some of the world’s biggest personal brands. For several years he was the CMO of  Brendon Burchard’s organization. Besides running Spiffy, he’s helped countless authors, experts, coaches and speakers in monetizing their knowledge online.

Throughout this episode Michael shares a ton of nuggets that he’s learned from all this experience and shares some of the most common traits that these successful business owners have shared.  

Micah and Michael discuss how starting a new online course or membership site is a lot like starting a new piece of software, and why it’s crucial to starting both with a “minimum viable” approach. They also discuss the psychology behind coming up with a price for an  online course and the difference that a $50 course versus a $2,000 dollar price point can have for a business.
