Feeling stuck because you don't want to pay for expensive course platforms? This episode reveals how to launch your first online course for $0 using a tool you and your students already know: Facebook Groups. Learn how this simple approach can boost engagement and give you the confidence to launch without the financial pressure.

Learn how to:

• Use a private Facebook Group as a robust, free course platform with guides, video lessons, and a built-in community.
• Overcome the pressure to be perfect and use a free platform as a space to test, refine, and prove your course works.
• Explore low-cost alternatives like Google Workspace or Zoom for launching on a tight budget.

• Brainstorm Your First Course: If you haven’t yet, outline a simple, core-concept course you could test.
• Outline a Facebook Group: Structure your course outline using the "Guides" feature in a mock Facebook Group. Map out where you’d place videos, PDFs, and check-in posts.
• Practice Pitching: Practice explaining your course concept to a peer and how students will get a great experience even without an expensive platform.
