Summary

Today's question comes from Amirra, who has a question about creating a subscription service and creating an online course in the education space. Should she create a subscription service or create an online course? Is there room for both as an educator online? What is the difference between a subscription service and an online course? Should she create specific online courses to help solve specific problems? Amirra’s YouTube channel is Art With Amirra. In this episode, I mention my new course, Smart From Scratch. Learn more by heading to http://www.smartfromscratch.com/. I also mention my new AskPat Live on http://www.Facebook.com/SmartPassiveIncome, which happens every Friday at 1:30 p.m. Do you have a question about creating subscription services and online courses? Record it at http://www.askpat.com/. Thanks to our sponsor, Design Crowd. To learn more about working with their designers, go to http://designcrowd.com/askpat.
