How to Create an Online Course with Systeme.io
Have you ever thought, “I could teach this!”—but didn’t know where to start?
Let’s fix that today.
Creating an online course used to mean hiring developers, buying multiple tools, and praying it all worked. Now? With Systeme.io, you can go from idea to income in days, not months—even if you’re not tech-savvy.
Let’s walk through exactly how.
Why Online Courses Are the Smartest Side Hustle Right Now
- Low startup cost: No physical inventory or shipping
- High profit margin: Once created, you can sell it over and over
- Time-leveraged: You teach once, others learn on their schedule
And best of all? You don’t need 10,000 followers to succeed. Just help a small group of people solve a real problem.
Start with a Course Idea That Solves a Real Problem
Your course doesn’t have to be groundbreaking. It just needs to be useful.
- What do people ask you about all the time?
- What problem have you solved that others are still struggling with?
Tip: Don’t teach everything. Teach a transformation.
Example: Instead of “Everything About Instagram,” try “How to Book 5 Clients a Month Using Instagram Stories.”
Structure Your Content Like a Friendly Roadmap
People get overwhelmed fast. Help them by creating a clear, simple structure.
Here’s a proven layout:
- Module 1: Quick wins and foundations
- Module 2: Deeper strategies
- Module 3: Wrap-up, implementation, and next steps
Each module can have 3-5 short lessons. Keep videos around 5–10 minutes. Simple = digestible.
Record with Basic Tools (No Fancy Studio Needed)
Don’t let perfection stop you.
- Loom to record screen and webcam
- Zoom for interviews or presentations
- Canva to design simple slides
Pro tip: You don’t have to be on camera! Screen-sharing with voiceover works perfectly.
