How to Build & Sell Your First Course

Let Go Boss - Weekly Coaching Summary

This session focused on community + accountability, getting clear on each person’s superpower + why, and then a hands-on demo of how to create and sell a course fast (ugly, not perfect). Basim paired Nicole + Birdman as accountability partners, highlighted Antoinette’s TikTok-driven product validation strategy, and showed everyone how to build a $7 mini-course in GoHighLevel using ChatGPT + Loom in under an hour.

Key takeaways

• Birdman (Marcus Bird): superpower = people + connections; wants to monetize skills (language/problem-solving) and fund personal healing.

• Nicole: building Ledgers for Legacy and aligning her bookkeeping brand with her mission (homes + clean water); main blocker = no access to her coded website → rebuild drag-and-drop.

• Romana: newly moved to Thailand for freedom + reset; encouraged to document her life on TikTok and use the Video Practice Room to build confidence.

• Antoinette: blew up on TikTok by responding to demand (“What do you want from me?”), then packaged offers, raised prices with proof, and scaled via challenges + coaching.

• David: shared a warning about ChatGPT “truncation”—backup valuable threads externally.

Hands-on workshop: build a course FAST

Basim live-built a mini-course titled “How to Go Viral on TikTok” using:

• ChatGPT to generate a clean course outline + lesson descriptions

• GHL Courses/Memberships to paste in the structure

• Loom / phone video to record a simple welcome video (no polish)

• Price point: $7 (“magic price”)

• Key principle: don’t overbuild — validate first, then improve

Simple course structure used:

1. Welcome + why it matters

2. What to expect

3. Strategy 1: The Hook (first 1.5 seconds)

4. Strategy 2: Story > Aesthetics

5. Strategy 3: Find your style

6. Bonus: Viral checklist download

7. Close + next step / optional upsell

Action items mentioned

• Nicole: rebuild website using drag-and-drop (not code) + schedule 1:1 accountability

• Birdman + Nicole: stay paired and keep momentum weekly

• Romana: post TikTok drafts in Video Practice Room

• David: post Loom in AI room about truncation + backup method

• Everyone: make one “ugly” course in December and validate with real buyers before perfecting it
