5 Day/Hour Learn-how-code event

2 replies
Hi everyone,

I currently run www.letsjavascript.com. A beginner's project driven course on JavaScript. I recently taught a project at a school to 15 year olds and last year while this course was on Udemy, I got about 3000 people on-board. I wasn't too impressed with Udemy because it induced people to buy courses in bulk due to their exorbitant sales, which doesn't really promote learning. Only course hoarding!

So the basic premise is that each project is approximately 1 hour 30 minute to do. And there are 5 projects so about 6 hours 30 minutes in total to do all. I say 5 because some projects are shorter and 5 sounds more palatable!

I'd like to host an online webinar type event where I can get people to sign up and then do the projects (either on letsjavascript.com or elsewhere - any ideas?)

The projects cover about 50+ topics and in my experience it really does bootstrap you to start coding in JS, with little - no prior experience. So I really do to make it in such a way that people do complete the projects.

Any thoughts? What should the price, Marketing model be? This is kind of like a learnthon!

    It depends on where you sell your course, you can actually make a early bird price to test the market and mark up accordingly.

    Not sure what you meant here. Are you doing a webinar where people will watch you step through sample projects? Or are you wanting them to do the projects as you give instruction?

    For the first, you could use something like Google Hangouts to test the waters.

    Not sure how you'd manage the second with a large group, all working at different paces.

    As for pricing, that may well come down to how much value you can add over and above the hundreds (thousands?) of JS tutorials scattered across both YouTube and the web in general.
