What Course Design 101 is NOT...
This audio course does not teach marketing or sales. There are brief overview lessons on where those things might fit into the course creation process, but the purpose of Course Design 101 is to help you design an effective and engaging curriculum and strategic client experience within your course.
What others are saying about my process ...
"I highly recommend this course to anybody who's trying to teach something to a new audience and has no idea exactly where to start.
You'll be challenged by Erica's message, but you'll also make a much better product in the end ... I cannot recommend it highly enough."

The new WP Rockstar curriculum is something I'm incredibly proud of and I know it will serve my students incredibly well. It's everything I wish I'd had when I first got started.
[If you're on the fence about working with Erica,] take the plunge.
