The Completed Course: The Secret To Creating Lasting Impact, Raving Fans, And Increased Profits With Online Courses.
97% of All Online Courses Are Never Completed. This Is Your Roadmap to Beating the Odds.
The Completed Course features 30+ World-Changing Entrepreneurs Sharing Their Secrets To Creating Online Courses People Love From Start To Finish.
Let’s Talk About the Dirty Little Secret of Online Courses….
Online Courses Aren’t Dead. They Simply Need a Better Way to Work.
The online course space is a $255 Billion industry with a capital B. More people are creating online courses than ever, but there’s a dirty secret nobody really wants to talk about.
CUSTOMER CHURN.
Online courses worldwide are experiencing a 97% attrition rate from start to finish. That’s pathetic. And unacceptable. We can do so much better.
And yet, how many of us struggle to make our courses ‘stick’ with our audiences?
The online marketing space depends on selling courses and keeping our customers connected to our business.
Creating a course is hard enough, which is why so many half-baked courses never hit the market. It’s even harder making sure the course you create is what your audience actually wants from you. When you finally have your course ready, you probably have that sick feeling when your course fails to create a lasting impact.
YUCK.
This isn’t a nameless, faceless challenge; it’s affecting coaches, consultants, speakers, authors, trainers, small businesses, corporations, people you know and love. It’s because we’ve been relying on bad information.And, so many course creators are left wondering why. Nobody’s talking about why courses aren’t being completed.
Very few people are asking the right questions to figure out what we can do better to make our courses meaningful. We’re simply regurgitating the same bad info we heard from someone else who passed it down the line to us.
So, where does that leave us?
Online Courses Aren’t Dead. They Simply Need a Better Way to Work.
Pushing “publish” on your Learning Management System won’t create lasting impact, reduce customer acquisition cost, or build your reputation as a thought leader overnight.
Your customers deserve the right information that inspires them to finish your course and create the results they want.
You’ve seen others have success with online courses, a lot of success. Why does it work for them and not for you? They have a little more information.
They know the secrets. And now, they want to share their secrets with you.
The Completed Course features 30+ World-Changing Online Course Geniuses Who Want to Share Their Course Completion Secrets With YOU .
Imagine leveraging the collective genius of Ryan Deiss, Jay Baer, Pat Flynn, Chris Smith, Jason Swenk , and dozens other marketing influencers.
This would level the playing field with everyone sharing the best strategies for optimal impact and maximum earnings.
Imagine what that could do for your business, your life, even your
Think about the type of impact you could create.
Picture how many more people you’ll get to help because you know what they need to get the right results. Can’t you just hear story after story of people sharing how your course gave them the freedom they wanted?

Een interessant boek vol interessante ideeën over hoe je online cursussen kan verbeteren, maar het blijft nogal aan de oppervlakte. Ik had er wat meer van verwacht. Wat meer concrete cases of zo. Met die ideeën kan je natuurlijk zelf aan de slag gaan en wat beginnen prutsen, maar het miste een beetje diepgang.
Daarnaast stonden er echt kemels van fouten die me soms serieus uit de leesflow haalden. En hoewel het een non-fictie boek is, stoorde het me écht wel hard.
En note to self: Verhetselke, non-fictie lezen vlak voor bed is niet ideaal. Dan schiet uwe mayonaise weer in gang en slaapt ge niet. Just sayin.

The problem this book tackles is the the 97% attrition rate most online courses experience.
Rose addresses this problem through exploring the research into effective learning and interviewing countless experts about best practices for getting more students to finish your courses.
You will walk away from this book knowing how to choose your course topic and have dozens of ideas to test to make sure people finish what they start.

Value here
The book was easy to read. It is not a “how to” book but is a book offering extremely valuable insights about the entire online course system or industry as it exists today. There are valuable insights in this book brought out by many of the Experts interviewed by the author. I especially liked the Nuggets dealing with how and why the retention rate is, for most of the industry, 3%, but that for some whose focus is on Value instead of content, that rate ranges from over 60% to as high as 90%.

Interesting read but she fails to give to 'secret' to creating a profitable online course that people will completed. Dr. Rose has numerous links for you to go to her site and purchase information to get the information. It's clear this is a ebook to drive her website. Excellent marketing tool for those willing to pay for additional information. I thought it would be in this ebook...at least I read it for free with my kindle unlimited.

Pretty average. One good tip was to create a FB lookalike audience based on people who already completed the course. Other than that I shelved this in the "motivational bullshit fluff" category.
