You’ve probably signed up for a course before and then…forgot about it. It’s not your fault. Many people get excited at first, but then life happens—distractions, overwhelm, or maybe even the course just wasn’t as exciting as promised. So why do people give up? First off, a lot of courses don’t hold attention. They get boring or are too hard to follow. To fix this, try making your course interactive! Add quizzes, challenges, or practical tasks. People love being able to practice what they’re learning! I also found that people struggle to keep up if lessons are too long or too complicated. Keep it bite-sized and easy to follow. Another trick is to build in a community—whether through a Facebook group or Slack channel—so students feel like they’re part of a team. Lastly, create short-term goals and remind people of how much they’ve already learned. People are more likely to finish a course if they feel progress. Don’t just dump a ton of info and expect them to stick around—help them feel involved and they’ll be more likely to complete it!
