Creating an e-course is one of the most powerful ways to turn your knowledge into income—especially if you’re a multi-passionate creator, spiritual entrepreneur, or holistic coach. Whether you want to create your own online course to teach what you know or you’re looking for scalable income streams, a well-designed e-course can help you build a thriving digital business.
In this post, you’ll learn how to create an e-course from scratch, using tools like Canva, my favorite all in 1 business platform and AI to simplify the process, plus tips for marketing and selling your course online.

Step 1: Choose a Profitable Course Topic
Start by exploring e-course ideas for bloggers, coaches, or content creators. Your most engaged content or frequently asked questions are a great place to start. Also researching keywords on a topic can help you craft a highly sought after course.
Ask yourself:
What do people always come to me for advice about?
What transformation can I help someone achieve?
This is about teaching what you know—not what you think will sell. When your offer is aligned with your experience and audience, sales follow naturally.
Step 2: Plan Your Content (Without Overthinking It)
Many new course creators get stuck here. Don’t let perfection stop your progress. Use a simple Canva course template or build your outline in Google Docs. AI tools like ChatGPT can help you brainstorm and structure your lessons in minutes.
Tip: Think in terms of bite-sized, actionable content. You’re not building a university. You’re offering transformation—fast.
Step 3: Build It Using Tools You Already Know
You don’t need to invest in expensive software. Use Canva to design slides or downloadable worksheets, Loom or Zoom to record your content, and a platform like systeme.io to host your course.
For a done-for-you solution, you can even build an e-course with Canva, plug it into a course hosting platform, and be ready to launch in a week or less.
Step 4: Set Up a Simple Sales Funnel
If you’re a spiritual coach, blogger, or wellness entrepreneur, marketing doesn’t have to feel pushy. A magnetic landing page, a warm welcome email sequence, and a few Pinterest graphics or blog posts can start bringing in leads on autopilot. I also recommend finding a system that will do it all for you, no more piecing systems together.
Step 5: Launch and Leverage
Once your course is live, promote it through blog posts, Pinterest, email marketing, or collaborations with other creators. Look for ways to automate your sales with systems and templates.
Bonus: You can even teach others how to create a course once you’ve done it—turning one offer into multiple income streams.
Whether you’re just starting your online business or looking to add a new income stream to your existing brand, creating a course is a smart and sustainable way to grow.
It’s more than passive income—it’s empowerment. It’s how you turn your message into a movement, and your skills into sales.
