What makes a course great?
I saw, watched, learned a lot of different courses. Some of them were good, some bad, some so-so. What, in your opinion, makes them great? For me, it's:
- good logical structure
- deep covering
- practice
- easiness to follow
- Q&A.
For you? Thanks!

the video quality is also important. I have watched tutorials where it was really hard to see the code on the screen.
Thanks, you are right it's really important!
Thanks for your response!
I like it, and totally agree with any points you made. Honestly, I've never seen any "funny" courses - so your recommendation is to check Webflow University tutorials?
Yep. I think the element of surprise is kinda refreshing. A sudden joke refreshes the student.
Now, when I opened their courses, where can I find any jokes? I don't have time to watch all courses neither written version has any...
This is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5WGzdnR2Gw
Thanks, will look at it!!
what makes a course great is that it helps the customer achieve the outcome... that's it.
Totally agree... but I'm asking rather not about outcome itself but what makes the outcome.
i've had some crazy success with simple "info products":
... and then even for my project right now, text + video (in a notion + youtube) worked great to prove / validate some early hypotheses:

No problem, what makes your simple info products great as a learning resource?
What I can see right now:
My question was not about successful courses, my question was about really helpful courses. What makes your courses helpful and useful for your students? Which features help them learn new things?
ultimately, it was one-on-one time via zoom calls where i coached these things and provided hands-on help / contextually-driven advice.
this was the unlock for most folks.
