In this episode of ThinkInsideTheSquare, we're diving into an exciting topic that's been buzzing around the Squarespace community lately - creating your very first online course!

When Squarespace introduced their course feature, it opened up a whole new world of possibilities for so many of us. Suddenly, we had this amazing platform to share our expertise with people all around the globe. It's like they handed us a megaphone and said, "Hey, you've got valuable knowledge - why not share it with the world?"

Now, I know what some of you might be thinking. "Me? Create a course? But I'm not an expert!" Well, let me tell you something - you know more than you think you do. We all have unique experiences and skills that others can learn from. Maybe you're a whiz at social media marketing, or you've mastered the art of sourdough bread making. Whatever your passion or expertise, there's someone out there eager to learn from you.

Creating an online course might seem like a daunting task at first. Trust me, I've been there! It's like standing at the base of a mountain, looking up and wondering, "How on earth am I going to climb that?" But here's the thing - just like climbing a mountain, creating a course is all about taking one step at a time. And that's exactly what we're going to explore in today's episode.

In this episode, I’ll walk through the process of turning your expertise into a well-structured, engaging online course using Squarespace. We'll talk about organizing your knowledge, crafting your course outline, creating engaging content, and bringing it all together on the Squarespace platform.

So, whether you're a seasoned pro looking to share your skills or someone who's just starting to explore the idea of teaching online, this episode is for you. Grab a cup of coffee (or tea, if that's more your style), get comfy, and let's embark on this exciting journey of course creation together!
