About the author
Danny Iny
22 books52 followersDanny Iny (@DannyIny) is the founder of Mirasee, host of the Business Reimagined podcast, best-selling author of multiple books including Engagement from Scratch!, The Audience Revolution, and Teach and Grow Rich, and creator of the acclaimed Audience Business Masterclass and Course Builder’s Laboratory training programs, which have together graduated over 5,000 value-driven online entrepreneurs.
All of this grew out of humble beginnings; he started out just like most online entrepreneurs, with an idea and message to share, and no idea how to do it. He made several wrong turns – which he calls “plot twists” in the Audience Revolution – before really understanding the Audience First paradigm, and how to apply it to online business.
And when he did, it was like lighting a match to a fuse. Back in 2011, he started Firepole Marketing with less than nothing; he had no traffic, no subscribers, no relationships with any influencers in the industry, and over a quarter million dollars in personal debt, left over from his last failed startup.
In just a few short years, he’s transformed Firepole Marketing into Mirasee, grown the business to multiple-seven figures in revenue and a team of 30+ people spread all over the world (including his talented wife) on a mission to support very special global community of 50,000+ loyal and inspired entrepreneurs.
Danny has maintained a passionate commitment to learning and transparency, freely sharing lessons learned from great successes, major challenges, and even his personal life to support the online entrepreneurial community as a teacher, speaker, angel investor, and advisor to many of the top leaders in our industry, who have Danny on speed-dial when they need help with their business or strategy.

I love business parables and this one takes you on quite a journey that is not only plausible but one where the hero is taken on a journey that is all too typical for people who want to leave their corporate job and start their own business.
When one enters the world on online businesses there is often a time and sometimes a significant time that one hunts for an idea that works. Most of that time, the idea that works is right under out noses if we get out of our way.
Mr. Iny does an incredible job of helping the reader see a path that all budding entrepreneurs might want to consider before they start down the road of starting a business.
Read this book, even if you're a seasoned business owner. You'll be glad you did.

Excellent description of product beta testing
A short business novella about the value of online courses. Goes through the course strategy and validation process. This is not a manual on the actual setup and delivery. It is the best writeup I have seen on the process of finding a test audience, and it makes a strong point that anyone can have a sellable product if they know how to do something someone else does not.

Bueno, no lo que esperaba
Es un anuncio para engancharte en querer hacer un curso online y contratar sus servicios. Bonita historia que te deja con algunos tips pero casi nada de contenido de valor para crear un curso. Danny, un genio en marketing que sabe cómo enganchar, yo me siento engañada...

Written in the form of a novel, Online Courses tells the story of a woman who wants to create an online business. The novel is better written than many in this business niche and communicates that process that Danny Iny promotes in his business model.

Story format makes it real
The story includes the why, what and some of the how for building and selling online.
It deals with many doubts and fears so is highly relatable.

Huh? Nothing useful
Long winded book about nothing. Though the end would be worth the wasted time, but nada. If this is what he uses to market, I wouldn’t trust his marketing expertise.
