David’s journey started back in 2008 when the world of online business looked very, very different. Through a whole lot of trial and error, David pioneered his own podcast and web show, which became one of my favorites, primarily because of his friendly but direct interview style.

He picked the brains of people from all industries and eventually found his home with the “mediapreneurs”—his own word for folks who create and sell digital products and programs online.

In this session of the podcast, David treats us to his invaluable advice on creating and selling your own online course, something he’s helped loads of people in all different niches do already.

This is a session of The SPI Podcast that a lot of people have been looking forward to, including myself, and I know a lot of people are going to use this information after listening. I hope you do too.

In the NEXT upcoming episode of the podcast (#137) Amy Porterfield joins us to share how to launch that online course you’re going to create using an extremely effective strategy called a three-part video series.

Enjoy this episode, and get ready for even more!
