I have an idea and I want your opinions on it. Those who have taken any of my teleconferences and any who want to and especially those who aren't familiar with what I do yet.
I want to set up a website with self-paced courses in several areas: my healthy lifestyle 12-week series will be the core course at first. I will add CE (continuing education) courses for LMT's, and am thinking about mini-classes, too, such as various how-to lessons that can be taken a la carte for a couple bucks each. There will also be several free short lessons as samples.
I will also have printable stuff like articles and recipes. Ultimately.
The classes will consist of me on video. For some classes, it will be straight lecture. For others, it will be demonstrations. Some might have both. CE courses will have tests to be completed, of course.
I would ultimately like to have a resource list of where people can buy the stuff I talk about in my classes....raw milk, pastured meat and eggs, homemade toxin-free soaps, raw honey, real maple syrup, etc. That will take a while to compile and will likely be an ongoing process.
The big question is......would you pay for this type of education (in theory, I am not asking for an obligation!) if you wanted to learn something and this were available?
What would you (or people you know) pay for the 12 week series? It will be similar to one that is taught in doctor's offices for an average of $300 and up to $600, out of pocket by the patient. Oh, and as it is self-paced, it can be taken in less than the 12 weeks if one desires. I have taught it for $150 with about $110 in supplies in a kit. I need to really fill a class to make that worthwhile for 12 classes, though, as you can see by the low profit margin. But I have no overhead with the teleconference so it works. I would have a start-up cost with the website and a hosting fee monthly. It would have to be a pretty darn fancy site.
Whatcha think?
