There's a reason courses fail that few people are aware of.

Since 2011, I've built 15 online courses. And I've discovered that courses fail when a program does not address the hidden stuck points of participants.

They try your course, run into an obstacle, blame themselves and give up.

How can your course avoid this fate?

Four Simple Strategies To Uncover Hidden Stuck Points

Strategy 1: Dig into the past

Find stuck points by remembering where you got stuck. What obstacles did you have to overcome? Why was it hard for you to learn what you're teaching now?

Strategy 2: Observations from the wild

What errors have you seen others make?  Where have you observed others getting stuck or giving up?

Strategy 3: Student slip-ups

Maybe you've tried teaching people already and seen where they go off track.  What did you have to show them to help them overcome those obstacles?

Strategy 4: Beta Testing

If you haven't had a chance to teach or observe errors, then get a few people to test your course for you. Have them report on where they got confused or stuck.

With these four strategies, you'll create a course people finish. And that means they'll come back for more.
