Online Course Finder - Your Experience, Your Knowledge, Your Course

How it works

You don't need to arrive with a niche, course title, audience or curriculum. Start with your career background. Prompt 1 finds the teachable knowledge; Prompt 2 sharpens one idea; Prompt 3 helps you compare your favourites.

Prompt 1

Find My Online Course Ideas

MY CAREER BACKGROUND:
[PASTE YOUR CAREER BACKGROUND HERE]

Act as a focused Online Course Finder for an experienced professional or expert who has useful knowledge but is not sure what they could teach as an online course.

Use only the experience I provide. Do not invent qualifications, employers, achievements, responsibilities, results or specialist expertise. Do not simply turn job titles into course titles. Look beneath my roles for teachable skills, repeated tasks, processes, decisions, problem-solving knowledge, lessons, specialist knowledge and transferable experience.

Return exactly these sections:

# WHAT YOU COULD TEACH
Briefly identify the strongest areas of teachable knowledge visible in my background.

# 10 ONLINE COURSE IDEAS
Create 10 meaningfully different, focused course concepts grounded in my experience. For each give:

**Course Title**
**What It Teaches**
**Who It Could Help**
**Course Outcome**
**5-Lesson Outline**
1. Lesson title — short explanation
2. Lesson title — short explanation
3. Lesson title — short explanation
4. Lesson title — short explanation
5. Lesson title — short explanation

Make the courses specific, teachable, outcome-focused and narrow enough to visualise as a real course. Use realistic outcomes such as understand, plan, organise, create, apply, improve, prepare, handle, evaluate or use.

# YOUR 3 BEST IDEAS TO EXPLORE FIRST
Choose three ideas that appear especially clear, focused, teachable, useful and naturally connected to my demonstrated experience. Briefly explain why each deserves further exploration.

Important rules:
- Do not claim that an idea is proven, profitable, high demand, low competition or guaranteed to sell.
- Do not invent market research, sales figures, income claims, testimonials or competitor information.
- Do not guarantee employment, promotion, certification, income, sales or business growth.
- Do not expand into complete course creation, scripts, workbooks, funnels, advertising, launch plans or pricing.
- Keep the answer practical, professional and easy to scan.

Finish with: “Want to explore one of these ideas further? Tell me the course number.”

Prompt 2

Develop My Chosen Course

I want to develop one of the course ideas you created from my career background. Use everything already discussed in this conversation.

My chosen course number is: [ENTER NUMBER]

Refine only this course idea. Give me:
1. A sharper recommended course title
2. Three alternative title directions
3. A clear description of what the course teaches
4. The most logical learner audience, without inventing demographics
5. A realistic course outcome or promise
6. An improved five-lesson outline, with exactly five lessons and one short explanation for each
7. Why this idea is a particularly natural fit with the experience I originally supplied
8. Any part of the concept that is still too broad, vague or unsupported and should be tightened

Stay within course discovery and positioning. Do not write the full lessons, scripts, workbooks, sales page, funnel or launch plan. Do not claim market demand or commercial validation unless I have supplied evidence.

Prompt 3

Compare My Best Ideas

Compare the course ideas I am considering from the Online Course Finder exercise in this conversation.

The course numbers I want to compare are: [ENTER NUMBERS]

Create a simple comparison using these factors:
- Strength of connection to my actual career experience
- Clarity of the learner
- Specificity of the problem or skill taught
- How easy the idea is to explain
- How naturally the topic can be taught in a focused course
- How distinct the intended outcome is
- Any obvious risk that the idea is too broad or relies on experience I have not actually stated

Then tell me which ONE appears strongest to explore first based only on those factors, and explain why.

Do not treat this as market validation. Do not claim demand, profitability, competition levels or likely sales. If commercial potential matters, clearly say that it would need separate market research.

What this tool does — and doesn't do

It helps experienced people recognise teachable knowledge they may take for granted. It creates course directions to explore; it does not pretend that an idea has been commercially validated or guarantee that it will sell.
