How to choose the subject matter of your online course?

The topic you choose for designing your online course should be something that is appealing to both you and your audience. Therefore, the first criteria should be choosing something you want to teach and you should be passionate about the subject matter. While examining this, you can think about what is it that you do best and what is it that people come to you for advice on. Furthermore, identifying your audience/target group is equally important. Ask your friends and target group/existing audience, what do they think about the course you have in mind. You can also test audience interest in your course by online polls or surveys. Thereafter, you can make short tutorials to gauge if the audience is liking it and keep the feedback loop open through permitting comments to get feedback on if the audience wants to see more of the content or they want some modifications. Besides, conduct online research and see if there are similar courses and what is their viewership. This will also help you verify if the content you are presenting is in demand. Moreover, this will also help you improve your course presentation and uniqueness.
