Show Notes
If you think launching an online course is just about slapping together a few videos, think again. Jay Schwedelson sits down with the amazing Teresa Heath-Wareing to get real about what it actually takes to turn your expertise (or even just your favorite hobby) into a thriving digital business. Teresa opens up about why most people are focused on the wrong things, the actual numbers behind launching, and how she went from corporate marketing to running one of the world’s top business podcasts—plus, why she’s obsessed with Instagram and why email is still the ultimate secret weapon. If you’ve ever wondered, “Could I actually do this?” Teresa’s story and advice will give you a reality check in the best possible way.
