Summary

Cassel returns to ask about online courses. Should she have open registration or registration windows that close after a short time? Cassel’s site is http://scrapbookcampus.com/. I reference episodes of the Smart Passive Income Podcast with David Siteman Garland (http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/how-to-build-an-online-course-that-sells/) and Amy Porterfield (http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/3-part-video-series-launch/). To discuss this episode, use #AskPat249. Do you have a question about online courses? Record it at http://www.askpat.com/. Thanks to today's sponsor, AWeber.

I say it that way because I thought for a split second that this was episode two because this is the second slot in my brand new spreadsheet for Ask Pat in 2015 since it's January 2nd. But it's actually episode 249. So thank you so much for joining me today. As always, I'm here to help you by answering your online business questions five days a week.

years later. To help me build my email list, you can put forms on your website, you can collect

1:24.7

email addresses, and then send out broadcast emails out to everybody

1:28.4

at the same time. You could segment your lists to send emails to just a certain set of or
