A min course is a guide intended to teach the reader the basics of a particular topic. A mini course can be a great way to generate some profits, either by selling it as an ebook, or by using it to generate attention for another product you offer, such as a book, or a more detailed training course.

The first thing you should do is decide on a topic. Think about what questions readers in your niche might have, or what problems they might want to solve, and use what you come up with to pick a title. There are a few title formats that seem to work well for mini courses. Titles like “How to Make Money Online” or “7 Ways to Make Money in Real Estate” are good examples of titles that work well for mini courses.

Now that you know what kind of mini course you want to create, and what you plan on titling it, it’s time to think about the benefits of your mini course. Pick five to seven benefits this mini course will give the reader. Each benefit you choose will be a separate lesson in the mini course, so try to pick things that can be expanded on. A mini guide about investing in homes that need to be fixed up could include lessons like “learn how to get started with limited funds” and “learn how to generate income from a fixer-upper”.

Now it’s time to produce the actual content. Each lesson should be around 500 words long. Be sure to cover any questions the reader might have in each lesson, and make sure the lessons are easy to understand and follow. Once you have the lessons together, give each one an introduction. The introduction doesn’t have to bee too long, just a brief paragraph covering what the lesson is going to teach.

All that’s left to do is put it all together into one document. You can also add a call to action at the end of the guide. Let your readers know what they should do next after they’ve completed all of the lessons in your guide. This is a great opportunity to push another product or service you offer. For example, if you’ve written a book about real estate, your call to action at the end of the mini guide could encourage your readers to go out and pick up your book to learn more.

A properly structured and formatted mini guide can help you drive sales to another product or service, or it can stand on it’s own as an ebook. Just follow the steps outlined above, and you’ll have a strong mini guide that can help increase your profits.
