The expensive online course model is dead because information is free everywhere now. Successful creators either offer cheap hands-on guides or build community to fight learner isolation. AI didn't kill courses, it killed the idea that packaging information costs two grand.
The 2k course is dead, which built a lot of people's businesses on like you're information heavy, self paced. Pay me two grand for the thing and I'll give you the information is no longer so the ones that I'm seeing be successful now are either the really, really low end, like here's how you use the software without having to around on it, like just start to go, go for it. And this is the thing, there's always been a lot of information, like you could use YouTube before to teach you anything. AI is just another version of that, but it will change the way we're doing things. So I do think for a lot of course creators, you need to bring in community. You need to be building community and connection, because it's what people are going to be lacking so much is we're so isolated.
