Why Offer An Online Course?
For practitioners wanting to grow their business, offering an online course enables you to confidently attract your ideal client. An online course with Bridges.AcademyLLC can be THE fastest way to grow your business as you access increased income, more clients and continually expand your audience as part of a Community. Once your course is created it continues to sell and generate interest. The positive feedback you get from even 1 small class can send even more clients to you.
If on the other hand your one-on-one practice is booming and you can’t even imagine where to find time for more clients, online courses may be your answer. Like many experienced practitioners, you have spent considerable time and resources training, observing, and expanding your knowledge base with each client, so that now you overflow with lots of great information. If that sounds like you, it may be time to leverage all your experience and expertise into creating courses and programs and in turn, see new returns on your investment. Profit equals freedom to serve, in the way you would like to serve.
Connecting with a worldwide audience is a powerful thing. Your courses can deliver tangible results and knowledge to people everywhere, across continents, to the very places where your information is needed and eliminating the need for travel. There are thousands upon thousands of people interested in your course. Let us help them to find you.

- Offering an online course is THE fastest way to grow your community and client base.
- Gives potential clients a “sample” or preview. (And for existing clients can be a tool to accelerate their process, or introduce them to your other services.)
- Enables you to confidently attract your ideal client.
- You get to share what you know and be paid at the same time.
- A "mini-course" is excellent for gathering testimony and feedback.
- Anyone can teach. It is not necessary to be an "expert" or a "guru" to teach what you know to someone who wants to learn. Most online teachers are professionals who enjoy talking about things they love.
- Teaching online is a proven way to earn passive income…. you can even create a live course curriculum once, record it and then we deliver it on demand, or on a schedule. No travel = far, far less logistics than being there in person.
- For professional trainers and instructors: by delivering part of your training online you can minimize the time that your students need to spend with you in person, reducing your overhead costs and opening up space in your life for other things that you love to do.

Course content
Successful online classes are created with a result in mind, not content. That is, when creating content, reverse engineer: work backwards from the result that you want the students to take away. Focus on the solution you offer, not what you want to teach.
Your course or class or workshop or program can be as simple or as complex as you wish. When it comes to complex programs, consumers appreciate an opportunity to have a small taste before committing to a full program, so offering a free or low cost stand-alone mini-course or interactive live online event is an excellent way to build up interest and ultimately fill your larger class. Quality content is vital in a free event. If you include content in your free introduction that is better than everyone else's paid classes, your enrollments in the paid courses will be out the door and down the street. To help introduce you to the community, and because it's fun for the community to meet and explore ideas, we host free online events that we call "Happy Hour". Learn more at this link.
All the various ways the internet shares information can be adapted to your preference: pre-recorded audio or video, handouts, e-books, webcasts or live workshops, power point presentations, PDF, moderated internet chat groups, private Facebook groups, video conference chat rooms, Zoom, webinars, teleconferences, interviews, case studies, tools lists, worksheet/cheat sheets – however you conceive it, we can help make it possible. Tests and quizzes can be added to the course as well, to help your students gauge their progress.
Some instructors offer various tiered packages or versions, for example:
Content is proprietary. You retain ownership of the course content.
