Course Sales Start with Video
Online courses with a promo video sell 4 to 5 times better than those without one. A 30-second animated trailer can explain what students will learn, showcase the curriculum, and drive enrollments.
What to Include in a Course Promo
- The transformation — what students will be able to do after taking the course
- Curriculum overview with animated module or lesson titles
- Instructor credibility — student count, reviews, credentials
- Social proof — testimonial quotes or star ratings
- Enrollment CTA — enroll now, limited spots, early bird pricing
