License Your Course Quickly: Two Proven Methods for Immediate Success

So, you want to license your content faster? I totally hear you. Whether you need to sell quickly for financial reasons, want to test your product in a licensing capacity, or are just eager to see some quick returns, this guide is for you. Let’s dive into two key strategies to help you license your content faster without changing your product—just changing the buyer and modifying the product a bit.

First, changing your buyer can make a significant difference. Bigger buyers like governments or large corporations tend to have longer sales cycles. That's because they have more decision-makers and different layers of approval you need to go through. However, they also offer bigger deals.

Typically, these deals are not as high-value, but if you need quick wins, they’re the way to go....

1. Will You Be Selling It Yourself?

If you continue selling directly, consider how that affects potential licensees who might be your direct competitors. It’s essential to ask yourself whether licensing your content to someone in direct competition with your market will be beneficial....
