Congratulations! You've just taught a group of individuals how to accomplish a task. Maybe it was in a specific niche such as real estates, writing, blogging, self-help, or some other niche, but the point is you delivered all your training, your students followed along, and now they have graduated. What should you do now? You can run a new webinar course, convert the course into a membership, or offer some kind of on-going extended training.
Let's say in your day to day activities you perform some freelancing—you make some products and you run some webinar classes. Which one makes you the most money? Especially, which one makes you the most money per hour you put into it?
If your webinar class makes you more money than your freelancing and your product creation, you should definitely run another course. With most things you do, you can tell if something is going to be profitable until you really try it. Guess what, your webinar course proved profitable so you should now repeat it. But maybe this is already the second or third time you have run a course or you don't think you can make the next course better than the course you have just finished. Maybe that means, you should convert your webinar series into a membership site.
If you just finished a four-week webinar course, you can easily space each lessen out over a period of two weeks and charge for each webinar. Get them in a four-step payment plan where they rebuild every two weeks and as soon as they are build, they receive a new webinar. This way, there is a low barrier of entry because people only need to pay for the first webinar to get in.
They do not have the same live interaction the live students had, but the advantage of that is that these membership students can proceed at their own pace. If you think you left some money on the table for people who simply could not afford your live class or did not have time for it, it can't hurt to offer the recordings as a fixed term membership site and see if anyone buys.
Finally, now that your webinar course is over, is there some way that you could make your students still need you for something. If you just taught a class about copyrighting, you might want to create a community forum and charge a monthly fee so that students can interact and get weekly copyrighting tips or get copyrighting jobs now that you have trained them. If you can just think of something simple like this or people still need you for something, that can be your extended training.
Now that your webinar course is over, either run another course, convert this course into a membership site, or offer extended training. But if your webinar was fun, worthwhile, and profitable, you should definitely continue or repeat it in some way.
