• Ep.28 To drip, or not to drip content? That is the question!
    2023/06/01

    Finally, he shares common mistakes course creators make with drip schedules and how to avoid them.

    Have you ever signed up for something and thought, "Man, this is so exciting! This is going to be the best (insert awesomeness here) ever!"? And it really was the best ever... until it wasn't.

In this episode, Lucas gives you 3-steps to creating just the right amount of curriculum for your learners. You don't want to give them too much, and you don't want to give them too little. Give them what they need!

Don't worry, you don't have to take one of them. But you will want to know how to choose one over the others and whether you need to use them at all.
