Julia McPherson, Web & Graphic Designer + Marketing Automation Expert
Your Step-by-Step Guide
I've helped 6 and 7-figure entrepreneurs hit it out of the park with their membership courses by building an interface that's easy to use and engaging for their learners.
It comes down to the nitty-gritty details.
Having a clear path for your learners is vital.
I've helped entrepreneurs, just like you, build successful membership sites and go to market with a successful action plan turned into reality. They are making money with their online courses, consistently, each month.
Cut Your Build Time in Half
You need a plan and your course content. You need a bit of software and you need a week or so to hook all the bits and pieces together. Yes, your course could be live in a few weeks. That sounds crazy, right?
I'm a web designer, and I say you'll be able to complete this and have paying customers faster than I could do it for a client.
How is that possible? I've spent hours designing beautiful sales pages (yes, like this one), gorgeous membership pages, and done-for-you high-end graphics. You're starting with pre-made templates that I will show you how to fully customize. I'll even show you how to create a simple logo for your course, with a FREE online graphics tool.
The powerhouse behind this entire plan is a proven product, OptimizePress 3.0.
OptimizePress is a full membership theme that protects your member content, allows you to build gorgeous sales pages (and import/export content templates), and build out powerful marketing funnels, all on my favorite web platform, WordPress.
You'll need to purchase your own license of OptimizePress 3.0 for this course.
You'll also need to purchase your own domain for your course. I highly advise purchasing a domain name for your product/course and keeping it separate from your main website.
I had put off creating my course for a long time, mainly due to not wanting to take the time to figure out how to build a website for it.
Then I found Build that Course. It walked me step-by-step through the technical stuff and made it easy to actually finish my course and start selling it. Without Build That Course—I never would have finished my course!
