Produce A Course When Making A Book Into An Audiobook
Turn your information into a study course when you create your ClickBank product. Utilize the basic information in your niche as an introduction and then move into your other more innovative topics.
Depending on the niche that you are in, think about assembling some kind of study guide or worksheets to put in with your audio product as an incentive.
Internet courses can be every bit as good as traditional lectures, workshops, and independent learning. Yet, they have an added advantage. They enable both instructors and pupils to work according to their own pace and agenda.
A successful Internet course calls for more than simply putting materials online and then expecting
your students to teach themselves.
Formulate a clear-cut description of the course, including an intro or overview, goals and milestones, and essentials or requirements.
Produce a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section that predicts queries your students often have to avoid having your e-mail or user bulletin board flooded with requests for common information.
Get acquainted with available computer-based software and recording tools; so that you are able to select those that can be updated in the future or merely replaced.
Learn how to utilize not just the instruction capacities of the programs but likewise the construction and customization capabilities.
You should think about how you wish to deliver your course (e.g., audio, streaming audio, or in a self standing product with audio and transcripts).
Once you formulate your audio course, produce it for the format in which it will be presented (and, more than likely, duplicated or recycled).
For instance, you might present a product the initial time as a real-time live webinar with call-in chat, but record it as a downloadable audio.
When you have finished recording your audio book, change over the files to a compressed format. Then upload the files to a suitable server or website, and/or burn backup or distribution CDs.
