One question we often get here at Greenleaf is, "Should I launch an online learning course?" For many, it can be a great way to further monetize their book's content. But how do you know if it's right for you? To help us out, we've enlisted Stacy Ennis, an author, creative consultant, and strategic wordsmith. Stacy launched her course Finish That Book! recently and will walk us through the steps she took to do so.
