Today Video-Vitamin is about the ONE question that is always greeted with puzzled looks from my learners, plus, helping you see why courses are built around teaching people, not content.
Try the transformational exercise I use and let me know how it worked.
See you next time beyond the book!

As you have probably seen we launched a Free Discovery Session Campaign for Romanian authors. The reason I’ve decided to create this campaign that many Romanian authors, especially blog authors, reached out is they needed help in their pursuit of a next level product for their audiences.
They saw the need to go deeper with their help and many of them strongly believe they can create a learning product to help their followers on a deeper level.
Because we can only schedule 10 free discovery sessions this month, I’ve decided to answer some of the questions via my Youtube channel.
Join the conversation! Looking forward to your questions.
See you soon beyond the book!

In a society where “there’s an app for that” is synonymous with quick problem-solving, the desire for self-directed and instant learning is a defining characteristic. Check my new vitamin-video on how to replace the many pages of written content with new-era performance support tools.
This vitamin-video presents just some of the ideas for transforming old content into new tools. What are yours? Leave a comment to share them with the Book to Courses community.
If you enjoyed this video-vitamin, I’ll be posting many other videos every two weeks on re-purposing and transforming your book into courses, so I invite you to subscribe to my YouTube channel and engage in the conversation.
Looking forward to your questions right here.

“What gets in the way of new learning most often?” I was asked last week in a coaching session.
I see authors sometimes surprised that even though the audience buys into the outcome or the destination, and the destination really makes sense, there are a number of factors that slow down the learning process.
Find out what you may need to consider to smooth out the learning journey!

One of the biggest challenges authors face when trying to transform their book into courses is ignoring the second element I discussed about in this Vitamin-Video on profitability.
Watch the Vitamin-Video, write down all the questions you hear, do the research and use everything you discover to raise awareness, interest, desire and of course, to create your courses.
If you do the research and actually use the data in every piece of work you create during your book-to-courses transformation, questions below will no longer be questions for you:
Does my book-to-courses transformation solve real customer problems?
Would they really be willing to pay for these online courses?
How would they like to be reached?

Here’s the question I would like to explore in this Beyond the Book Video-Vitamin:
“Olimpia, I’m an author of a women’s history book and I’ve thought about turning my book into courses for quite some time now. How do I decide which of the topics could lend best to profitable online courses?”
