Learning when you don't have time?

Busy professionals don’t have time for proper courses.

Make a platform where anyone can create interactive email courses that send bite-sized “lessons” every day/week to their subscribers (this is already kind of a thing, but not as a platform to my knowledge). Let subscribers even reply to emails to automatically personalize future lessons.

Thinking of the audience, it could have courses on things like: business, productivity, mindfulness, learning a language, tech, etc.

What do you think?

    Hey, Roaga!

    • I feel like if a busy professional doesn't have time for proper courses, they probably don't have time for another email in their inbox.
    • Also I don't think many people would want a reason to have to spend more time in their email for an interactive email course. Most people are trying to spend less time there!

    Sidenote: when I personally hear email course, I think of it as just a lead magnet to get me to give you my email address in return for sending me an automated sequence of pre-made emails. In general, just not something that draws my attention. I am a marketer, so this is probably just my personal view and not the general feeling!

    This might be something that would work as a mobile app or something. Lots of apps out there for bite-sized books for entrepreneurs and stuff like that.

    I'll give this a 4/10. Not ready for prime time just yet but might have legs if you continue asking for feedback & validating 😎

    I think this as a tool where you can e.g. embed existing content of others like Twitter threads for example would be super nice in terms of filtering information that already exists. I'd be interested in something like this for sure! So it's more about filtering existing content instead of creating even more – because there is already so much gold out there that needs to be discovered.

    Honestly, I think it's a unique take on learning something new. I'd be interested in how you pull this off. Even if it's enough where they could get the basics and provide resources on where they could dive into more in-depth information later.

    Seems like a very "Atomic Habits" approach to learning something new which I'm all about. Possibly niche it down to something you know very well (say you are an expert in productivity tools), and then just validate the idea on your own sign up list.

    Interested to see where this goes.
