1. The Idea
It's about creating academic digital online courses for primary to tertiary levels, as well as for professionals.

3. Marketing
You could explore digital marketing, affiliate marketing, social media marketing, digital advertisements, radio advertisements, etc.
4. The Sales Funnel
You could leverage the use of a sales funnels in order to optimise profits. This could be automated. On the funnel, you could include complimentary products and services as part of the value proposition. This could be via upselling, down-selling, and cross-selling. Of course, you need to have a lead magnet. You could include clickable links to your other products and services or to those for whom you are an affiliate marketer. You could also include mentoring and coaching as one of the upsells.
5. Target Audience
Online courses could be beneficial for all educational tiers. You could target the users and or their parents as necessary. You could target local or international demographics.
6. Do You Need to Be an Expert to Do This Business?
No, you don't need to be an expert to execute this business model. However, you could collaborate with experts and then come to an agreement on profit sharing.
7. Research and Development
Research the marketplace. Do competitor research. Is there enough space in the marketplace for you? Is there a demand for the product? Is your product of great value? Is it affordable? Is it competitive? Is it value for money? Is there someone else doing the same thing? etc.
8. Platforms
You could use platforms such as social media, membership sites, blogs, podcasts, Udemy.com, etc.
9. Requirements for the Users
The users require a digital device, internet access, a positive attitude to learning, access to the content (either paid or unpaid), etc.
10. Requirements for the Business
You require a team, funding, a business plan, equipment, relevant skills, relevant logistics, internet access, etc.
11. How will you prioritise the creation of your products?
If you were to start this business model, it is suggested that you start from where the need is greatest and profitable. Thereafter, you could explore other areas.
12. Is the Product a Stand-alone or a Complimentary Product?
The products could either be used as a main or complimentary source of education. The business model could eventually replace the existing format of formal education.
