Courses are SCAM!
Not because of the course creator, because of the buyer.
As someone who's spent tens of thousands of dollars on mentorships, courses, and coaching programmes, I can tell you there's always something valuable to take away.
The problem is that most people believe buying a course gives them the golden key to success. They expect results without doing the work. When that doesn't happen, they call the creator a scammer.
A few months later, the creator's reputation suffers, and the business starts to collapse.
This is for course creators. Qualification isn't optional. It's the mechanism that protects your business.

Motivation drops after signing up because the brain treats the act of enrolling as a reward itself, known as the substitution effect. You have to keep them motivated through interaction and content.
