Six Reasons to Turn Your Book into an Online Course

Additional Revenue: An online course can provide an additional revenue stream for authors beyond book sales.
Increased Engagement: Online courses allow authors to engage with their audience more profoundly and create a more interactive experience for their readers.
Repurposing Content: Converting a book into an online course allows authors to repurpose their existing content in a new format and potentially reach a new audience.
Enhanced Authority: By creating an online course, authors can position themselves as an authority in their field and further establish their expertise.
Flexibility and Scalability: Online courses can be accessed anytime, from anywhere, providing greater flexibility and scalability for authors to reach a wider audience.
Community Building: Online courses offer a chance to build a community around the content, where students can interact and learn from each other, and authors can gather feedback and insights from their readers.

Dramatically Increase Your Revenue Per Customer With a Course

Book sales typically generate revenue through royalty payments, which are a percentage of the retail price of each book sold. Royalties can range from 7-25% of the book's sale price, depending on the publisher, the format of the book, and the author's contract.

In contrast, online courses allow authors to earn revenue through various channels, including course fees, subscriptions, sponsorships, and affiliate marketing. Online course revenue potential can be much higher than book sales because authors can charge a premium for the expertise and value they provide.

For example, authors can charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a comprehensive online course, while a book may only sell for $10-20. Additionally, online courses can be sold and promoted to a global audience, increasing the revenue potential even further.

Ultimately, the revenue potential for an author depends on several factors, including the topic, format, quality, marketing, and pricing of the book or course. However, online courses offer authors more flexibility and higher earning potential than traditional book sales.

How We Help Authors

The cost of converting a book into an online course can vary depending on several factors, such as the content's complexity, length, and the type of media used to deliver the course material.

If you plan to create the course yourself, the main costs may include the online course platform subscription fees, website design and hosting fees, and any equipment or software required to create the course material (such as a microphone or camera).

Suppose you plan to outsource the work to a professional. In that case, the costs will depend on the type of service you require, such as content development, video production, website design, or project management.

Here are the key areas we help authors with.

James Garrity

Employee Rights Lawyer and best-selling author of "10,000 Depositions Later"

"If you are looking for an expert on digital products and creations - websites, courses, you name it - Mark Gregory is literally the only name you will ever need. He did not ask me to leave feedback, and I often don't, but his work was so vastly superior that there was no way I could close this project without sharing my thoughts about his expertise. He has without question been my most successful freelance hire ever. He is extremely knowledgeable. He is lightning fast to respond. He is patient, understanding, intuitive, and full of great ideas that you have never thought of. I had all kinds of very specific ideas about the project in question, and Mark taught me, as we worked together through the project, about the value of my own ideas but, more importantly, the value of additional ideas he had that never crossed my mind. I have lots of specific ideas, but I had absolutely no idea how to implement them. That is where Mark came in. He quickly became the architect of the entire project, which was to create a digital course online from absolute scratch. During the initial conferral, we discussed the ideas at length, and it quickly became apparent that he was the leading expert in the field. He was familiar with, and expert in, every component of course creation, and in the technical equipment (microphones, lighting, teleprompters, software) and in the overall look and feel, which is such an intangible quality that you've got to have a leader in the field to get it right. Customers of your courses will not stay, or come back, if it isn't right the first time they visit or sign up. His work was excellent across the board, and I can't recommend him any stronger. Mark, thank you so much for everything".

Mark is FIRST CLASS in everything he does and his passion to help you deliver an outstanding online course is wonderful. Mark is incredibly knowledgeable and by far the BEST. It was a great privilege to work with Mark, and I highly highly recommend him. Looking forward to more projects in the future. Thank you so much, you are INCREDIBLE. I am grateful to have met you.
