The Tiny Paid Cohort Course
Package a skill you already have into a small live cohort, use AI to build the curriculum and assets, and charge real prices to a tiny group instead of chasing a passive course no one finishes.

The playbook
- 1
Pick a specific, outcome-based skill you can teach ('go from zero to a deployed portfolio site in 4 weeks'), not a vague topic, and validate demand by posting the idea where your target learners hang out.
- 2
Use Claude to build a 4-6 week curriculum with clear weekly outcomes, then generate decks and worksheets in Gamma.
- 3
Open a small first cohort (cap it at 10-20 seats) on Kajabi at a real price ($150-500), and run live sessions plus a Discord for support.
- 4
Over-deliver on cohort one, collect testimonials and recordings, and use those to fill a bigger second cohort at a higher price.
- 5
Once the live version is dialed, sell the recordings as a lower-priced self-paced product while keeping live cohorts as the premium tier.
