If you want to sell online courses, you have two options. Solution number 1, is selling a course around a topic nobody else sold before. But doing that is risky. Because there may be no market for it. Solution number 2, is selling a course around a topic where there's already competition. This is way less risky, but on the flip side, let me tell you this: you won't succeed unless you find a unique angle to your course. And this is exactly what we're going to tackle in today's episode with Dagobert Renouf. Dagobert Renouf left a $100K software job to bootstrap a startup with his wife 4 years ago.
