I’m joined by Melissa Guller a course creation expert and the CEO of Wit & Wire, to share with us all the tips and tricks we need to consider when creating an online course that effectively sells.

Melissa helps online business owners like you turn their skills and passions into profitable online courses. In today’s episode, she talks about the creation process, how to prepare yourself to create an online course successfully, and the key strategies that work.
