Fwd: If you’ve been thinking about packaging what you know…

This week at Thrive Themes

Lately I've had a few familiar questions come in about online courses.
You know, whether they still work, whether the market is too crowded,
whether it's worth building something new.

Since you're already in the Thrive ecosystem, we can skip the beginner
talk and look at what's actually happening.

The market didn't shrink. It matured.

And the data keeps pointing in the same direction:

➡️ Online learning is expected to reach $203.81B in 2025

➡️ Learners retain 25–60% of information online (compared to
8–10% in classrooms)

➡️ Nearly 70% of students now prefer online or hybrid learning

(From DemandSage, Devlin Peck, and EdScoop)

If anything, expectations have risen. People want structured paths,
clear pacing, and helpful touchpoints — not a stack of unconnected
videos.

And if you've built inside Thrive Apprentice before, you already know
how much difference a thoughtful learning journey makes.

If you're mapping out a course this year, these four guides will help
you shape the direction:

training you'll find incredibly useful:
