Content Marketing Ideas to Lead People to Your Course
Once you’ve got your course up and running, your next step is to market it. Getting your marketing right is what will draw an audience to your course and content marketing is one of the best ways to lead people to purchase your course.
It’s important to remember to not just rely on one form of content marketing – your audience, depending on what they need, and who they are, will respond to marketing differently. To lease the largest number of people to your course, you need to utilise a variety of options.
Using Lumen5 for memorable text Based Videos in your courses
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.
Studies over the years show that video improves our ability to remember concepts and details. Video makes things easier to recall. The human brain processes imagery 60,000 times faster than text.
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.

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.
It all comes down to educating your market and letting them know why they need your course, what you can offer and what they can learn from you.

How to Attract a Market to Your Course
We know that one of the most important functions of having a successful business is having an audience to sell our products or services to. Without an audience, you might stumble along until someone finds you, but this isn’t really going to bring you the clients you are looking for or need to keep your business going.
The key to marketing is an audience. The only way to get an audience is through marketing. So we can see how marketing is essential. But what kind of marketing should you be utilising when it comes to finding an audience for your course or workshop?
Creating & Using Coupons in Thinkific
When creating and selling a course, there may be times you wish to offer a discount to new students or a specific offer to existing or past students.

Are the buttons not working in your Thinkific School?
When creating a new course, the last thing you want to see and hear is that your buttons aren’t working. How are students meant to purchase your course if they can’t check out?
It’s a common occurrence and it generally comes down to a small step being missed in setting up your course.
