| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, what's up? Welcome to Side Us All School. This is your host Chris Gillibow. |
| 0:08.9 | Got an interesting question today from a listener in the UK. He has recently dusted off a project |
| 0:14.4 | that he worked on with his wife a few years ago. It is a birth preparation program and for |
| 0:19.6 | while they were doing it offline I believe but now their new goal is to take it online. |
| 0:23.4 | So they put in a lot of work but unfortunately they're not seeing the results they'd like. |
| 0:27.9 | So let's take more of a look under the hood. And also I've been hearing from a lot of people |
| 0:31.6 | starting online courses of various kinds. And I've noticed that people tend to get hung up |
| 0:36.0 | kind of in the same places or the same roadblocks. So when I answer this question, |
| 0:40.4 | I'm going to try to think about how it's relevant to other people as well which I always do. But in |

| 1:04.3 | this year. But for now, how can you sell an online birth preparation course? That's what we're |
| 1:09.2 | going to look at in this episode after the message from our sponsor. |
| 1:22.8 | Hey, chris, this is James from Bristol in the UK. I've been loving your side hustle book and |
| 1:27.6 | make my way through it. I've got an idea which I think is feasible, profitable and persuasive. |
| 1:33.2 | It was an online birth preparation programme that my wife and I developed four or five years ago |
| 1:39.2 | and it was actually not a very good side hustle insofar as it took years and years and cost |
| 1:43.6 | a fortune for us to get up and online. Now when we actually got it online, we didn't manage to sell |
| 1:48.8 | more than a handful of subscriptions to this birth preparation programme and we concluded that |
