🧠 How to Automate, Write, and Launch a Course Using AI

🛠️ Tool Stack for this Workflow

Let’s break it down 👇

1️⃣ Pick a High-Value Topic Your Audience Actually Cares About

There’s no point in solving problems nobody has. So start here:

• Scan Reddit, Discord, Twitter replies, and Google Autosuggest

• Look for "How do I...?" questions

• Check your DMs, email replies, or comments for recurring questions

• Our example: We created a prompt engineering course to generate leads for Prompt Genie when I noticed people struggling to write effective prompts

2️⃣ Research Better with Deep Research

• Use OpenAI's Deep Research tool to gather comprehensive information efficiently. It will automatically research 100s of websites and write a detailed research report on the subject

3️⃣ Break Research into Digestible Lessons

• We recommend using Claude as it is better for copywriting tasks

• Create bite-sized lessons (1 per email)

• Group topics logically (Beginner → Advanced)

• Rewrite in a friendly newsletter voice

• 💡 Tip: If Claude hits context limits, split your document into smaller chunks and process each separately.

4️⃣ Make It So Good People Would Pay for It

• Ask: "Would someone pay for this content?" To make it more valuable

• Add relevant real-world examples for different audiences

• Include both technical and non-technical applications

• Get AI feedback from your "ideal subscriber's" perspective

• Goal: Create bookmark-worthy, shareable lessons.

5️⃣ Set Up Automated Delivery

• Configure your email course delivery for each lesson

• Create a reasonable gap between lessons (2-7 days)

• Add satisfaction polls to track engagement (my results: 74-90% five-star ratings!)

Now, the email course is the perfect lead magnet. This is the course we created using this workflow. It generated 2000+ newsletter subs in the first week.

🎯 Why this works: It builds trust gradually while showcasing your expertise. It’s basically a drip funnel disguised as value.
