Every course usually contains a ‘Getting Started’ Lesson and introductory Video. You’ll want to use these prompts AFTER you’ve created the Course Content. Here’s why:
1. Context is Fully Established: By the time you’ve outlined your course structure, modules, and lessons, you’ll have a much clearer picture of the journey students will take. This lets you write an introduction that references the exact content they’ll encounter and the transformation they can expect.
2. Refined Messaging: Once all other parts of the course are developed, you’ll have the key takeaways, benefits, and unique points fresh in your mind, making it easier to highlight them in the introduction.
3. Informed Tone & Confidence: Working through the other lessons and assignments first means you’ll understand the learning experience from start to finish, allowing you to introduce it with greater confidence, clarity, and enthusiasm.
In short, save the prompt for creating your introduction until after you’ve structured and developed the core content. This ensures that your introductory text accurately sets expectations and guides students into the course with a clear sense of what’s to come.
Intro Lesson Prompts
Basic Prompt:
“Write a short, friendly introduction for the first lesson of an online course that helps beginners create their first online course using AI prompts. Mention what the course covers, how it’s organized, and the support they’ll receive.”
Intermediate Prompt:
“Craft a welcoming introduction to the first lesson of our course on using AI prompts to quickly build and launch an online course. The tone should be encouraging and conversational. Introduce what’s included in the course (step-by-step video lessons, pre-made prompts, practice exercises, feedback, and community support), explain the benefits of following the framework, and reassure students that even if they’ve never created a course before, they’ll have a clear path from idea to launch.”
Advanced Prompt:
“Develop a comprehensive, motivational introduction for the first lesson of a course designed for adults over 40 who want to create and sell their online courses within a week using AI prompts. The tone should be confident, encouraging, and empathetic, highlighting the instructor’s 25+ years of experience and the unique benefits of using AI to streamline the entire course creation process. Include a suggested video script and outline that the instructor can use if they choose to record an introduction video. The video script should provide guidance on length (short vs. medium) and optional production elements (e.g., simple talking-head format, incorporating slides or on-screen examples). Make the introduction welcoming, clearly state what learners will achieve, outline the main modules of the course, and emphasize the support and community they’ll receive.”
