Watch The ENTIRE Course
Please watch this entire course from start to finish without implementing anything. On the second watch, that is when you implement. This gives you a much better chance of succeeding because you can see the road ahead and avoid any silly mistakes.
DO NOT Buy any Tools Just Yet
Do not buy any tools yet. People often jump the gun and buy expensive tools they do not need. Be patient and work through the lessons one at a time.
DAY 4-5 Product Focus

Plan Your Course
To remind yourself to stay on track, write down the headline from your sales page/course title.
Make ten tutorial titles as shown in the course template. If you're doing a text-based course, you'll need 20
Make bullet points of topics to discuss inside each tutorial in the same way I do in the “Planning a Course” tutorial.
Build Your Course
Create the slides for your course. Remember: KISS!
DRY RUN: click “record” and talk your way through the slides to catch the natural flow. You will catch mistakes and also become smoother when you do the actual recording.
If you are doing a text-based course, you can start writing out your lessons in a Google Doc, keeping the total word count to less than 6,000 words. You will add the text to the member's area in a later Module.

Record Your Course
The tutorials should be recorded and labeled appropriately.
Make sure the videos are unlisted on Vimeo or YouTube. If you don't have a YouTube channel, you can create one for free.

Watch All Module 4 Lessons
Make sure you absorb the information. Take a second look at them and complete the following tasks this time.
Build Your Website
Step 2 and Step 4 of the Action Plan must be completed and you must build the website as shown. In this way, you will have a ready-to-use website for your membership site.
Set up Thrive Apprentice as I show you in the "Setting Up Members Area" tutorial. KISS!
Add the lesson titles to your new member's area, which you created inside Module 3.
Add video links or text-based courses as I show inside the training. If you are doing a text-based course, select the "Text Lesson" when adding lessons.
Add accompanying text to each lesson underneath the video.
Use the "Resources" function to add any PDFs or resources you have.
Edit the login page as shown to remove any unnecessary elements.
Add the "Courses" and "Login" pages to the menu bat as shown.
If you have the budget, add the professional flair.
Watch every lesson, and check every link you add as a reference point. You will forget references in videos where you say, “I will leave a link below this video”, so watch the video back and double-check you didn’t forget anything.
Make sure you absorb the information. Take a second look at them and complete the following tasks this time.
Salespage Content
Use the “Fill-in-the-blank” templates to create your headline and subheadline for your product.
If you like, post inside the “Community Feed” of TAO and ask for feedback. Include what niche you are in so we have the context of the headline.
Write a short but sweet copy for your sales page. Use a Google Doc for this. Use this framework.
What is The Course About
Restate The Main Benefits To The Customer
Who Are You & Why Can You Help
Find one or two premium images to help convey an emotional confirmation about the copy. For example, if you are talking about losing weight, have an appropriate image.
Add a money-back guarantee box to your sales page.
Create a refund policy and add it to your footer menu bar.
Sit down and decide: Should you create a sales video?
Create the video sales letter slides as shown in the “Creating A VSL” tutorial.
Create a new page (your sales page) and exclude it from SEO, as shown in the “Creatin Sales Page” tutorial.
Use one of the templates I created for you, or use one of the pre-made templates.
Important: Watch the “Red Alert” tutorial three times to really hammer home these points.
Setup Payment Processor
Create an account with SendOwl.
Follow the “Payment Processor – Basics” tutorial step by step to set up the basic settings inside SendOwl. I recommend watching it twice, retracing your steps the second time to ensure you did not miss anything.
