📱 Best Platforms
Teachable, Skillshare, Udemy
📖 The Hustle
Build a 2-hour video course teaching small business owners how to design professional logos, social media graphics, business cards, and flyers using Canva's free version. Focus on design principles (color theory, font pairing, whitespace) rather than just clicking buttons. Small business owners waste hours struggling with design or pay $50+ per graphic on Fiverr. Your course empowers them to DIY confidently and saves them hundreds.
🚀 First Step
Outline 10 lessons on paper: start with Canva account setup, end with exporting print-ready files, then record lesson 1 using Loom or OBS covering the Canva interface tour.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Record your screen AND your face using OBS — courses with visible instructors get higher completion rates and better reviews than voiceover-only courses
- Include downloadable Canva templates with each lesson so students can follow along hands-on and leave with usable designs
- Launch on Skillshare first to build reviews and social proof, then move to Teachable where you control pricing and keep 100% of revenue minus payment processing
