How to Creating AI-Generated Courses to Sell Online

I’ve been having a blast making online courses lately, and let me tell you, AI’s made it so much easier than I expected. I mean, who knew I could whip up a course on something like “Beginner’s Guide to Photography” and sell it on platforms like Udemy or Teachable? With AI, I’m not spending weeks writing scripts or stressing about content—it’s like having a brainy friend who does half the work. I’m gonna walk you through how I’ve been creating AI-generated courses to sell online, and trust me, you can totally pull this off too.

Why I’m Loving AI for Courses

I’ve always wanted to teach something, but I’m not exactly a pro at organizing lessons or writing scripts. That’s where AI comes in. It helps me brainstorm ideas, outline courses, and even create video scripts in no time. I saw somewhere that online learning’s booming in 2025, and platforms are hungry for fresh courses. AI lets me crank out content fast, so I can focus on making money instead of getting stuck in the details. Plus, it’s kinda fun to see what AI comes up with!

My Go-To Tools for This

I’ve played around with a few tools, and these are the ones I can’t live without:

• Jasper AI: Writes course outlines and scripts that sound natural.

• Canva AI: Makes slick slides and graphics for my course videos.

• Descript: Uses AI to edit my audio and video, so I don’t sound like I’m rambling.

• Teachable AI: Helps me set up my course page and suggest prices.

You don’t need to be a tech nerd to use these—they’re super beginner-friendly.

How I’m Building and Selling Courses

Here’s the step-by-step I’ve been following. It’s not perfect, but it’s working, and I’m already seeing some sales roll in.

First, I Picked a Topic I Know

I started with photography because I’ve been snapping pics for years. You don’t have to be an expert—just know enough to teach beginners. I used Google to search “AI-generated courses” and checked Udemy to see what’s selling. Stuff like coding, fitness, or even AI itself is hot right now. Pick something you’re comfy with and that people wanna learn.

Outlining the Course with AI

I told Jasper AI, “Give me a course outline for beginner photography,” and it spat out a solid plan—stuff like “Lesson 1: Camera Basics” and “Lesson 5: Editing Tips.” I tweaked it to add my own spin, like a lesson on taking pet photos, because that’s my thing. It took maybe an hour to get a full outline, which blew my mind.

Creating the Content

This is where AI really shines. I used Jasper to write scripts for each lesson. For example, it gave me a script for “How to Use Your Camera’s Manual Mode” that was clear and engaging. I recorded myself reading it with my phone, using a cheap ring light to look semi-professional. For visuals, Canva AI made slides that pop—think bright colors and simple text. Descript cleaned up my “umms” and awkward pauses, so the videos sound polished.

Here’s a snippet from one of my scripts:
“Alright, manual mode’s not as scary as it looks. You’re telling your camera exactly what to do, like a boss. Let’s start with shutter speed—here’s how it works…”

It’s friendly and feels like me talking to a friend.

Putting It Online

I chose Teachable because it’s easy to use and has AI tools to help with pricing and marketing. I uploaded my videos, added quizzes (Jasper helped write those too), and set a price—$49 felt right for a 2-hour course. Teachable’s AI suggested I offer a discount for the first 100 students, which got me some early sales.

Getting People to Buy

Marketing’s key, and AI’s got my back here too. I used Jasper to write a sales page that’s catchy but not pushy. I also made Instagram posts with Canva graphics, using hashtags like #OnlineCourseIncome to get noticed. Plus, I sent an email to my small list (Copy.ai wrote it), offering a sneak peek of the course. My sales page has keywords like “AI course creation” so Google picks it up.

Checking What’s Working

Teachable’s dashboard shows me how many people are signing up and which lessons they’re loving. If a lesson’s got a high drop-off rate, I tweak it—maybe shorten it or add a quiz. Jasper gives me ideas for bonus content, like a free PDF guide, which keeps students happy.

I made some rookie mistakes. My first course was too long—nobody needs a 4-hour photography course! I cut it down after seeing students drop off. Also, I didn’t promote enough early on, so sales were slow. Now I post about it weekly. And don’t skip editing AI content—it can sound stiff if you don’t make it your own.

Tips to Make It Awesome

• Keep It Short: People want quick, useful courses, not a college lecture.

• Add Your Flair: Throw in stories or jokes so it’s not just AI talking.

• Stay Curious: I check X for new AI tools or course trends to keep my stuff fresh.

Creating AI-generated courses is honestly one of the coolest things I’ve done. With tools like Jasper, Canva, and Teachable, I’m making money teaching stuff I love, and it’s mostly passive once the course is live. It takes some effort to set up, but it’s so worth it.
