Let’s be honest for a second—have you been feeling a little stuck lately?

Maybe your job is fine but unfulfilling. Maybe your schedule is packed but your bank account feels... meh. Or maybe you just keep thinking “there’s got to be more than this.”

Well, there is.

And no, it’s not about quitting your job tomorrow or launching a huge business overnight.

It’s about starting something small—but powerful.

And that “something” could be a simple, no-stress online course that helps people solve one specific problem.

It could literally change everything for you this year—from how you spend your time, to how much you earn, to how confident you feel in what you’re capable of.

Let’s talk about why.

People Want Small, Specific Courses Right Now—Here’s Why That Matters

The online business world has changed.

Once upon a time, everyone was trying to sell $1,499 mega-programs filled with 47 video modules and 12 bonus calls.

Now?

People are tired and also a little bit wary of big investments into online programs.

They’re overwhelmed. And they just want a fast, focused solution to their problem.

Enter: the $49 mini-course.

It’s:

• Bite-sized

• Budget-friendly

• More attractive for buyers (especially in a tight economy)

• Easier to create (you can do it in a weekend)

So while everyone else is stressing over high-ticket sales funnels, you can quietly build something small that actually sells—and serves.

Here’s What Happens When You Start Your Own Online Business (Even a Tiny One)

This isn’t just about money—though extra income is always nice.

Starting your own digital product or mini-course can create a ripple effect across your whole life.

Here’s what changes:

• 🕒 Your schedule: You get to work on your time, not someone else’s.

• 💵 Your income: One product can bring in revenue over and over again.

• ✨ Your confidence: There's something magical about making money from something you created. It's also so rewarding to help real people solve a tangible problem in their lives.

• 🧠 Your creativity: You finally have a place to share your ideas, not just save them in a notes app.

• 🔁 Your possibilities: A mini-course today could lead to a bigger business tomorrow.

Why 2025 Is the Perfect Time to Start Something New

The tools available right now are insanely powerful—and easy to use.

You can:

• Use ChatGPT to help you outline and write your course content

• Use Canva to make beautiful course slides

• Use Kajabi or Leap or another platform to build, host, and sell your course without coding anything

Plus, the economy is making a lot of people rethink what “stability” actually means. 

Having your own thing—something you control and can grow on your terms—is one of the smartest ways to take back your power this year.

Small Course = Big Opportunity

Let’s say you create a $49 course and sell just 10 a month.

That’s $490 in extra income.

Now imagine that grows to 30 a month. That’s $1,470.

From one little digital product you made in a weekend.

And because small courses are easier to sell (lower price = lower risk for buyers), you don’t need a massive audience to make it happen.

People want:

• Quick results

• Clear takeaways

• Affordable price points

You just need to help your audience go from “confused” to “confident” in one specific area.

Need Ideas? You’re More Qualified Than You Think

Don’t overthink it. Think small and specific.

• Your 3-step method for prepping a week of healthy meals

• How you planned a budget-friendly family vacation that your kids loved
  

• Your system for organizing kids’ schoolwork

• How you finally got your inbox to zero 🙌

If you’ve solved a problem for yourself, someone out there is searching for that solution right now.

The Big Myths (and the Real Truth)

Let’s clear up a few things that might be holding you back.

MYTH: “I need a big following.”
TRUTH: Nope. You just need a clear message and a few people who need your solution.

MYTH: “I’m not techy enough.”
TRUTH: With drag-and-drop tools like Kajabi and Canva, you’re already more techy than you think.

MYTH: “It’s too late to start.”
TRUTH: Online education is still growing like crazy—and there’s plenty of room for your voice.

Here’s How to Get Started This Week

You don’t need a business plan or a 10-module mega course. Just take these simple steps:

1. Pick one problem you can help solve. Keep it small and clear.

2. Outline 3–5 short lessons. Think 10–15 minutes each.

3. Record your lessons on Zoom or your phone. Don’t aim for perfect—aim for done.

4. Upload everything to a platform like Kajabi or Leap. Use templates to make it pretty.

5. Sell it at a low price point ($29–$49 is a great sweet spot) to get traction.

That’s it. You’re in business.

Final Thoughts: This Could Be the Year Everything Changes

Look—your life doesn’t have to flip upside down overnight.
But if you start building something of your own—even a small online course—you might be shocked at what’s possible in just a few months.

• More income

• More freedom

• More you in your day-to-day life

And it all starts with one decision: to stop waiting and start creating.

So if you’ve been looking for a sign… this is it.

This is your year. Go make something awesome.
