The first step in marketing your online course is to define your target audience. Who are they? What do they need? How can you help them? Knowing who your ideal student is will help you create targeted marketing campaigns that resonate with them.
2. Market your online course on social media platforms
Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn can be great places to market your online course. Share teasers, create engaging content, and use paid advertising to reach your target audience. Social media allows you to connect with potential students and promote your course in a personal and interactive way.
