Back when I started my coaching business, I spoke with a fellow coach who told me a story that stuck with me: 

 

She was on vacation and walking down a beach with her friend (in the good ole days when people were allowed to walk freely on beaches) and she kept hearing a cash register sound coming from her friend's pocket. 

 

When she asked the friend what the noise was, she told her she was selling an online course and that was the notification sound she set up on her phone whenever a new sale came in. 

 

Rookie coach Marc thought; "Wow, that would be so cool" 

 

Flash forward a few years after that when I started selling my first online course, and I clearly remember waking up one morning to a notification on my phone that someone had purchased it overnight. 

 

That was probably the sweetest notification to ever grace the screen of my smartphone! 

 

Online courses are a great way to "make money while you sleep", but it's not as easy as it sounds. 

 

Besides creating the actual program, there are a lot of moving parts including identifying a problem that needs solving, clarifying your ideal customer, naming and pricing your course, and a lot more ... 

 

Luckily Calvin Correli and Damon Wilson from Simplero cover everything you need to know in their 5 day "Laptop Lifestyle Challenge". 

 

It starts on Monday morning, and it's a bargain at just $55 ... 

 

Since I believe strongly in it, I'm giving a bonus to all who join: a digital copy of a past issue of my Secret Coach Club newsletter which taught my subscribers how to use daily emails to bring in more coaching clients and customers (they paid $97 for it when that issue was for sale). 

 

Here's the link to join the challenge:
