Okay, Here is what I am currently doing to build an audience for my course. I have a Private Fb Group that I opened up to potential students. I started doing Q&A sessions every week to talk about a certain issue or topic they needed to be resolved. With each Power Hour Q&A, I would give a freebie away as a Bonus. This gets them to a landing page and the opt-in in for the Bonus. I make sure I show up for them every week and give great value. (They love that I am there to help and being consistent with this is the key) Run a simple contest to get emails. Works like a charm and I built a list from 0 to over 2k for a client in 3 months organically (No ad spend) with this method. Involve your audience in course creation by asking them what they need. ( I have over 30 testers in Beta right now and they are very excited about getting the course when it's launched.) I made a teaser vid for my group and we all watched it together during a Q&A session. The response was incredible and they were very excited for it to be launched. I personally use a program called ClickFunnels, which I can build my sales funnel for the course, automate emails and also offer an affiliate program to have my students sell for me. Most of all be genuine and real with your students and potential students. They can see right through someone who is in it only to make the money and not for helping others. When you can get them to Know you, Like you, and trust you, you will see that it doesn't matter what course you make, they will buy it because of you. The one who helps, the one who cares and the one who solves their problems or issues. That's my two cents worth and I hope it will help someone get some great ideas as well with all these other great posts. Jerry
