5 Signs You’re Ready to Create an Online Course

Creating an online course can sound like a big deal, but honestly? It’s one of the most fun, rewarding, and life-changing things you can do. Whether it’s sharing your knowledge, building a scalable income stream, or making a real impact on people’s lives, an online course has your back.

But how do you know if now’s the right time to start? Well, if any of these signs sound like you, it might just be time to grab that laptop and dive in.

1. People Won’t Stop Asking for Your Advice

Let’s be real—are people always sliding into your DMs or texting you for tips on that thing you’re amazing at? Whether it’s skincare, starting a business, or making the best charcuterie board ever, people already see you as the go-to.

If you’re constantly giving out advice for free, why not package all that knowledge into a course? It’s basically your chance to answer all those questions once instead of 100 times.

You don’t need to be a total expert—just a step or two ahead of the people you want to help.

2. You’re Over Trading Time for Money

If you’re tired of hustling nonstop just to keep up, I feel you. Been there. The dream is creating something that works for you, not the other way around.

That’s where an online course comes in. Instead of spending hours coaching 1:1 or working on projects, you can teach many people at once—without adding extra hours to your day. It’s income that doesn’t depend on how much time you have.

3. You Love Helping People (and Watching Them Win!)

If you’re the friend who loves sharing tips and cheering people on, then creating a course might be your perfect match. It’s not just about making money—it’s about giving people the tools they need to succeed and seeing them actually use them.

You’ll be surprised at how fulfilling it feels to know that your course is changing lives.

4. You Have (or Are Ready to Build) an Audience

You don’t need 10,000 followers to make this work—I promise! Even a small, engaged audience is enough to get started. If you already have a few people tuning in to your content, you’re ahead of the game.

And if you’re starting from scratch, that’s okay too! Share your knowledge and show up consistently, and you’ll build the kind of audience that’s ready to learn from you.

💡 Tip: Start with free content that aligns with your course idea. You’ll attract your dream students while building trust.

5. You’re Craving More Freedom in Your Life

Imagine waking up to see sales rolling in while you’re sipping your morning coffee or booking a spontaneous trip because your income isn’t tied to your hours. That’s the kind of freedom an online course can bring.

If you’re dreaming of a life with more flexibility, more time to do what you love, and less stress about how to make ends meet, creating a course is the way to go. It’s not just about making money—it’s about reclaiming your time and living on your terms.

If you’re nodding along to any (or all) of these signs, let me just say: you’re so ready to create your online course. It’s not about being perfect or having it all figured out—it’s about starting, learning, and growing as you go.
