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
