A well-organized course provides a navigation list, learning goals, and objectives for students.
##Time and costs##
It depends on how much ready-made materials you have. Even if all content is created, you should include additional costs on marketing, video production, certificate design, landing page, and learning platform fees if you decided to use one. It is also important to engage students and present various kinds of interactions, quizzes, etc. The creation of the course is not that difficult, the hardest thing is the promotion and making your training profitable. 
It is a common idea to choose a marketplace to upload your course like Udemy, LearnWorlds, Udacity or Skillshare, Though, in this case, you don’t need to look for the audience but you also can’t choose pricing and marketing.

The next step is announcing the training. However, it’s not necessary to use your own online platform but having established channels (Instagram, Youtube) or social networks is required. A great tool to attract more audience is giving a discount for early registration or other interrelated courses. If you decided not to use an online platform at the initial stages, you can monetize your content by sending videos or email training. There are two possibilities, choosing either public videos that will remain permanently online or exclusive videos with restricted access and one time passwords.
