Why Your Students Actually Don't Want a "Quick and Dirty" Course

🔥

A lot of online business advice says the same thing: keep your course short, give people the steps, cut everything else. But what happens when “quick and dirty” stops your students from actually implementing what you are teaching?

In the newest episode of The ART of Online Course Creation podcast, I pull apart the myth that faster automatically means better.

I make a clear distinction between offers that promise a small, focused win and those that are meant to be truly transformational. One can be short and contained; the other needs depth, structure, and support. Cutting fluff is one thing. Cutting foundations is something else entirely.

Inside the episode, I share:

How “do this, do that” teaching creates students who can follow scripts, but can’t make confident decisions
Why examples, explanation, and transferable skills are non-negotiable if you want your course to stand on its own
The key difference between a resource vault and a designed learning experience that changes how someone thinks and acts

I also walk you through a set of reflection questions to help you see whether your own course is delivering a true transformation or just a neatly organized to-do list.

If you’ve ever worried that adding depth will overwhelm your students, or you’ve tried to turn a signature promise into a “quick and dirty” offer, this episode will give you a more honest way to decide what actually belongs in your course.
