Course Creation for Solopreneurs: How to Design Online Courses That Actually Transform Your Students and Grow Your Business
Course design that actually works. Learn how to build an online course that transforms your students and grows your business. Course Creation for Solopreneurs is hosted by Dr. Curtis Satterfield.
I've spent 17 years as an educator and course designer, helping thousands of students learn new skills. After years of watching solopreneurs struggle with course creation, I see the same problems come up again and again. Courses packed with information but missing clear outcomes. Students who buy but never finish. Launches that flop because the course itself wasn't built to deliver results.
My mission is to show you a better way. One that starts with your student's transformation and builds everything around that.
In my under-20-minute episodes, I get straight to the problem and show you how to fix it. You'll learn how to structure your course so students actually complete it, create lessons that stick, and build something you're proud to sell. Whenever it makes sense, I'll link helpful resources in the show notes so you can take action right away.
Creating an online course can feel overwhelming. There's conflicting advice everywhere, and it's easy to get stuck overthinking your outline, second-guessing your content, or wondering if anyone will even buy it. This podcast doesn't ignore that. Instead, it walks you through the messy and confusing parts step by step so you never feel like you're doing it alone.
My goal is simple. I want to help you create courses that get real results for your students. Courses that transform their lives, build your reputation, and grow your business through word of mouth and repeat buyers. From defining your transformation to structuring your modules, from scripting your lessons to launching with confidence, we'll cover it all.

How Long to Make Your Course: Modules, Lessons, and What Makes a Valuable Course
You're building your first online course and you can't stop asking: how long should it be?
You've searched for answers. Maybe you even bought a course creation program hoping they'd tell you. But nobody gives you a straight answer.
In this episode, I share 4 course length realities no one talks about - and they directly affect whether your course succeeds or fails.
You'll learn:
- Why the "more content = more value" myth is destroying course completion rates
- What actually determines how much you can charge (hint: it's not length)
- Real numbers for modules, lessons, and lesson length
- Why I can't give you the exact answer for your course - and why that's actually freeing
After 17 years as an educator and online course designer, I've seen what works and what doesn't. The courses that transform students aren't the longest ones. They're the ones that give students exactly what they need to get results - nothing more, nothing less.
I'm Dr. Curtis Satterfield. I help solopreneurs build courses that actually transform their students and grow their business.
