Here's a concept I've been struggling with lately, and I'm going to be a little vague because I want to try to keep this question as open as possible:

Let's say you had a skill that you were trying to market, but did NOT want to sell/market it through any type of high dollar video course, what would be the quickest, easiest and most effective way to do it?

Now I'm not saying I'm against the use of videos, in fact, that would be the best way to convey the information - I just don't want to create an expensive course and/or make people have to subscribe to a long term membership (which a lot of the competition is already doing) as this information can be understood and used fairly quickly, and I think 3 or 4 key ideas would get them off to a good start. That's what I would like my identifiable difference to be: Making a seemingly complex topic easy enough to be understood WITHOUT having to watch 115 videos on the subject, or taking you 6-12 months to get some key concepts.

Here's some more thoughts/details about what I'm thinking this will look like:

  • The subject will have 3-4 core topics.
  • The information works far better when it's shown to someone as opposed to just reading it or listening to it, but once it's seen I feel a person would "Get it" fairly easily, if that makes sense. For example, if I show you how to make a PB&J sandwich once, I'm pretty confident you'll be able to do it on your own, and maybe even branch off into using different bread types or brands of PB&J that you saw me use without needing a new video showing you how to do it.
  • I would like to do, a MAXIMUM of 1 video a week showing the nuts and bolts of the process, and then maybe an additional one that has more in-depth discussion about why I do this the way I do, and maybe even using some analogies from other areas to drive the point home. I want to be able to keep things fresh and current with these videos, but again, the main core videos will be the starting point. The other videos will be more like how this works over time.
  • Finally, I would like this to be something where a person could sign-up for a month (or some minimum time frame) and then come back to if they need additional work, or if they are struggling in a certain area.
That's about it.

I'm open to any suggestions from Youtube to Facebook Patreon pages, so please fire away. I'm sure there are things out there I'm not familiar with, and you guys are a great source of information, so I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Respectfully,
CEO Mike...
