Creating an online course on Rally.Fan is a fantastic way to share your expertise with your audience while generating income.
Whether you’re offering a comprehensive course, a focused mini-course, or a structured coaching program, Rally.Fan provides the tools to build and customize your course for maximum impact.
What is an Online Course?
An online course on Rally.Fan is a series of lessons that can be accessed by your customers at any time.
These courses typically consist of video lessons, supporting materials, and structured content designed to educate and engage your audience.
The course format can vary, from a few concise modules to an in-depth program spanning multiple weeks.
Types of Courses You Can Create
1. Mini Course
A mini course typically includes 1-3 modules, focusing on solving a specific problem or exploring a particular topic in-depth. This type of course is ideal for providing a detailed explanation that goes beyond what a short YouTube or TikTok video could cover.
2. Full Online Course
An online course generally includes 3-25+ modules, covering multiple topics and offering various solutions. The main difference between a mini course and a full course is the breadth and depth of content.
3. Coaching Program
A coaching program is similar to an online course but is often designed to be completed within a set timeframe, such as a 12-week fitness challenge or a 5-week marketing bootcamp. The content is usually organized by weeks or days, with each module corresponding to a specific period.
