It's time to build that course. Avoid the pain of going it alone!

Shape

Your Path to a Lifetime of Book Profit

You devoted precious time and energy to writing your non-fiction book.

And you earned every bump and bruise along the way - writing draft-after-draft, editing, proofreading, interior and exterior art, publishing... The Works.

The book is printed, the online sales accounts are up, everyone in your world knows the book exists.

Finally! You are done! Right?

Not so much.

You aren't helping enough people and you certainly aren't earning the money you'd like.


You've heard that the book is the ultimate authority-builder, so you research ways to sell more books and build related products.

A natural solution emerges: build a course based on the book!

The similarities between developing and publishing a nonfiction book and a course are too good to be true. The logic and processes involved in creating these products make them natural companions.

You also like that online courses can reach anyone in the world at the speed of the internet and cost much more than books.

But you soon learn that creating a course involves a lot more than you initially thought.

  • How do you develop a respectable course?
  • How do you define course goals and objectives?
  • How do you choose lesson types?
  • Should you have quizzes? Surveys? Tests?
  • Should the course be 100% on-demand? Should you include live lessons?
  • What's a mini course?
  • How do you bundle courses?
  • How do you build course critiques?
  • What the heck is a Learning Management System and do you need one?
  • How do you build course website pages?
  • How do you create discount coupons for courses?
  • Should you use affiliates or revenue share partners?
  • What about recording video and audio? What equipment and software do you need?
  • How do you price your course?
  • How can you market your course?
  • How do you maintain a course after it's built?
  • What the heck is a Customer Relationship Management software and do you need it?


I created this mastermind to make all of this easy to learn and do in a supportive, private group.
(you can thank me later 🙂)

My name is Lucas Marino and I'm the author of Monetize Your Book With a Course and Course Pricing Strategies. I'm a course creation nerd, a certified Thinkific Expert, and a retired military veteran with a career in professional training.

Don't let my doctorate degree in engineering fool you. I have a healthy sense of humor and built a multi-six figure career as a servant leader, coach, and entrepreneur.

I built this mastermind to help you quickly create a profitable and impactful course from your book. It's what I do every day for my clients.

As you can see below, this mastermind is focused on results. You'll learn via course lessons, live workshops, and sessions where we meet and get to work!

No playing around, no going it alone. We get to work.
