You Hired Me to Create Your Online Course—What’s Next?

So, you've decided to take your expertise and turn it into an online course—and you’ve hired me to help you bring it to life. First of all, congratulations! That’s not just a business move—it’s a powerful commitment to scale your impact and serve more people. 🎉

But now that the contract is signed and you're officially working with Prestige Assist, you might be wondering:

  • What happens next?

  • What’s my role in the process?

  • How long is this going to take?

  • What exactly will you be doing?

If these questions are swirling in your head, you’re not alone. Most coaches, course creators, and service-based entrepreneurs feel a mix of excitement and overwhelm at this stage. The good news? You don’t have to figure it out on your own.

In this post, I’ll walk you through exactly what to expect when you work with me to build and launch your online course—step-by-step.

Step 1: Discovery & Strategy – Clarifying the Big Picture

The very first step is a strategy session—this is where we lay the foundation for everything we’re about to create together.

In this phase, we explore:

  • Your “why”: What inspired this course? What impact do you want to make?

  • Your ideal learner: Who are they? What do they struggle with? What transformation are they looking for?

  • Your unique framework: Whether you realize it or not, you already have a method—this is where we pull it out and structure it clearly.

  • Your business goals: Are you trying to generate passive income, nurture leads, build your email list, or offer a premium signature experience?

This is often one of the most clarifying and confidence-building steps for my clients. You might come in with a rough idea, but you’ll walk away with a defined direction.

It’s not just about creating “content”—it’s about creating a transformational learning experience that aligns with your brand, your values, and your audience’s real needs.

Step 2: Course Roadmap – Bringing Structure to Your Vision

Once we’ve got the high-level strategy locked in, I’ll create a detailed Course Roadmap.

This document becomes our project compass—a clear and organized plan that outlines:

  • The course structure (modules, lessons, supporting materials)

  • The content deliverables (what you’ll provide and what I’ll create or manage)

  • A realistic timeline that works with your schedule

  • A breakdown of tools and platforms we’ll be using (e.g., Kajabi, Teachable, email marketing tools, etc.)

This step reduces decision fatigue for you. Many creators get stuck here because they don’t know what comes next or feel unsure about the order of operations.

I take that pressure off your plate by giving you clarity and direction so we stay on track, on time, and on brand.

Step 3: Content Development & Tech Setup – Turning Ideas Into Reality

Now the fun (and technical) part begins—bringing your course to life. While you're focused on recording your videos or polishing your content, I’ll be managing everything on the backend to keep things moving.

Here’s what that looks like:

  • Uploading videos, workbooks, and resources to your course platform

  • Organizing lessons in a logical, engaging flow that’s easy for students to follow

  • Setting up your course dashboard, login pages, and user experience features

  • Integrating all the tech: payment systems, email sequences, lead magnets, and more

  • Ensuring everything looks professional, works seamlessly, and reflects your brand

You don’t need to be tech-savvy or spend hours watching tutorials. I’m here to handle the details and logistics, so you can stay in your zone of genius—teaching, inspiring, and serving.

Step 4: Launch Preparation – Get Ready to Go Live

Once the course content is loaded, tested, and reviewed, it’s time to prepare for the launch phase. This is where a lot of course creators start to panic—but with me on your team, you’ll feel grounded and supported.

Here’s what we’ll tackle together:

  • Sales funnel setup: Including opt-in pages, email sequences, and thank-you flows

  • Tech testing: Making sure all links, automations, and checkout systems work

  • Launch timeline: Planning out content drops, promo emails, social posts, and webinars

  • Social and content support: Making sure your audience is warmed up and excited

This phase isn’t just about making sales—it’s about creating a smooth, consistent experience that makes your students feel confident buying from you.

With a plan in place and everything ready behind the scenes, you can show up confidently during your launch without scrambling at the last minute.

Step 5: Go Live & Ongoing Support

Now, the moment you’ve been waiting for—your course goes live! Students start enrolling, emails start rolling in, and your hard work is finally out in the world.

But the support doesn’t end there. After launch, I’m available for:

  • Troubleshooting and updates

  • Platform tweaks or edits

  • Managing enrollments and email workflows

  • Creating bonus modules or limited-time offers

Many clients also choose to keep me on for ongoing support with community management, backend operations, and preparing for future launches or course expansions.

What You’re Really Gaining

Yes, this process saves you time, but it also gives you something more valuable—peace of mind.

You're no longer in the weeds of figuring out which platform to use, what order your modules should go in, or how to integrate your email funnel. You don’t have to guess or second-guess. You have someone in your corner who understands how to turn your expertise into a scalable, high-impact product.

You get to focus on:

  • Showing up for your audience

  • Delivering transformation

  • Growing your business without burnout

Let’s Build Something Remarkable

Creating and launching a course can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. When we work together, you’re getting more than tech help or admin support—you’re getting a strategic partner who is invested in your success.

So whether you’ve already hired me or you're still in the decision-making phase, just know this:

You bring the knowledge. I’ll bring the structure. Together, we’ll build something that lasts.
