    WANT and NEED, the keys to course success! Discover the right balance and unlock your online growth

    Finding the right balance between giving your students content they really want to learn and things they need to know can be tricky. Most students want to rush ahead to the fun stuff, often at the expense of the vital fundamentals. If this sounds like your students you’re not alone. Learning a new instrument, coding language, or art technique is tough and it can be tempting for students to either give up or focus solely on things they can do and that means their progress halts. But our latest podcast guest, David A Jones has found a way to combine the wants and needs of his students seamlessly into a single lesson. This has led to happier students who love what David teaches. He explains his methods and practices in this podcast. In the show we cover: David’s approach to creating online content and what he’s doing differently to 90% of the course creators out there. He shares with us the lessons he decides to commit to video and what he leaves out for in-person learning and why. And David stresses the importance of finding the right audience for your products and why they might not be who you think they are.
