What Is a Mini-Course? And Why You Should Be Creating One

If you’ve been thinking about creating digital products but feel overwhelmed by the idea of a full-length course — let’s introduce you to your new best friend: the mini-course.

Let’s Bust the Myth

First things first: a mini-course is NOT just a watered-down version of a “real” course. It’s a focused, high-impact training that teaches one specific outcome — and does it quickly and effectively.

What Makes It “Mini”?

• Duration: Under 30 minutes

• Topic: Narrow and highly actionable

• Format: Easy to build and even easier to launch

Why Mini-Courses Work

Mini-courses are rising in popularity because they:

• Take less time to create

• Are easier to sell at a low ticket price

• Help build trust and authority quickly

• Make excellent lead magnets or first offers

• Allows you to test your course content

Real-World Examples

Still unsure what a mini-course could look like? Here are a few examples:

• “How to Create Your First Lead Magnet”

• “Record Your First Voiceover in Canva”

• “Build Your Link in Bio with Beacons”

AI Makes It Easier

Thanks to tools like ChatGPT and Canva, creating your first mini-course is easier than ever. AI can help you:

• Generate course ideas

• Create outlines and scripts

• Design slide decks and visuals
