Featured guide
Seven questions for an online course sales page
Is the outcome specific and realistic? Beware of guaranteed income, effortless transformation, or unusually fast outcomes.
Can you see the curriculum? Look for lesson titles, practical exercises, depth, and examples—not only module names.
Who teaches it? Verify relevant experience and distinguish authority signals from evidence of teaching quality.
What must you already know? A beginner label can still hide technical prerequisites or tool costs.
How long is access? “Lifetime” may refer to the product’s lifetime, not yours. Read the actual terms.
Is payment recurring? Check trials, payment plans, memberships, renewal dates, and how to cancel.
What does the refund policy exclude? Some products restrict refunds after downloads, lesson progress, or a short request window.
A useful pause: If the timer, bonus, or discount disappeared, would the core product still solve a problem you have now?
For supplement content
Do not treat testimonials as proof, and do not assume that an ingredient’s general reputation establishes the safety or effectiveness of a specific product. Read the current label and seek individual professional guidance where appropriate.
