Why You Should Publish An Ebook About Your Online Course

Creating a high-quality online course is a great way for professionals to create content that can change people's lives - including their own, by supplementing their income and even allowing them to go independent.

Building enough confidence in people to buy an expensive course you've created can be a challenge, however.

People may not want to commit to spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on your course without seeing some proof of its value first.

Publishing an ebook as a "lead magnet" for potential customers for your course is a great way to build that confidence and convert people into paying customers for your full course.

On Leanpub, you can either upload an ebook file you've already created in just a few minutes, or you can use our simple-but-powerful tools to write a book in your browser.

If you've already created a high-value course, you've definitely got enough content for an ebook!
