Starting to create your first online course can be so exciting yet so daunting. Picking a topic for your course is the most important part of the journey. If you are unsure of where to start here are some tips on picking a course topic.

1. Find What You Are Good At

If you want to teach others about something it is best to pick something you excel in. You may not have studied it and gotten a degree in it, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t an expert. Make a list of things you excel in and know a lot about and then narrow it down from there.

This will help to give you a lot of ideas and options. Then it will be easier to narrow down the topics once you start looking at all the pieces that have to go into the course.

2. Find What You Are Passionate About

If you are good at something but not passionate about it then your course may not turn out great. Being passionate about the topic is a must also. This will make you sound more sincere and get you to work harder on your course.

3. Find What There is a Demand For

Supply and demand is the basis of any business, and the same goes for creating an online course. If there is no demand for what you want to teach then no one will take the course. This means you would’ve done so much work for no return.

However, if there is a high demand in something that you excel at then push that to the top of your list of topics. High demand equals a high reward.

4. Define the Audience You Envision

If you have thought about creating an online course odds are you have also thought about what kind of people would take your online course. If you think long and hard about this you can get an ideal customer. Once you do that you are able to tailor your course to this person.

5. Test the Ideas

Once you feel like you have your favorite few ideas go to social media and test those ideas out. On Twitter or Facebook, you could create a poll and ask people which course they would be most interested in if any.

This way you will be able to gauge how successful that topic might be by testing it on a smaller group. This would stop you from spending too much time on a topic that will not appeal to the public.

These are all tips for picking a great online course topic however, in the end, it really depends on what difference you want to make with your course. Don’t create a course simply because you believe it will sell well. If you are not passionate about it then there is no point in doing it.
