head in the sand a salespersonTrainers: How are you going to market that great course you’ve written? It can be the best thing they’ll ever attend, but, if you don’t promote it, they’ll never know! Here are several methods to increase your own credibility, let people know about your course, and gain more followers.

1. Include your biography in the outline. Target it to the specific student group you are teaching. This can be at the front or in the appendix. You can use your biography as a handout prior to the class, too.

2. Create an introduction that spotlights you as the expert in this subject. Here is an introduction I use when I’m introduced to agents for a presentation:A� Intro Agents 2012. Here is an introduction I use when I’m introduced to a group of managers/owners: Intros Managers.

3. Provide a course survey to get feedback and testimonials. Use these testimonials on your website, in the course information, and record audio and video testimonials onsite (I’m going to do that when I speak in Mexico in a fest days).A� There is an example of a testimonial in the resource on how to write a course.When Ia��m not doing a a�?livea�� course, I use Survey Monkey to gather feedback.

4. Create a database of everyone who should take your course, or who hasna��t taken your course, and contact them when youa��ve scheduled your course.

5. Write blogs or articles about your course subject as a series to promote your course coming up. (As I’m doing for my new resource on how to write a course–right here!) Create a small preview of the course and give it a�?livea�� in various real estate offices.

6. Use course scheduling websitesA� such as EventBrite. They’re easy to use and you don’t have to create a website and shopping cart to register attendees.

What ideas to you have for promoting your course? Get creative, have fun, and have a spectacular course!
