Where to find online learners in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Online learners

Online learners want to engage in interactive and collaborative learning. However, they can't get it because they struggle to connect with peers and instructors in a meaningful way in the online environment.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. CollabLearn.

Interactive Learning Platform for Online Education : CollabLearn is a software solution that creates a virtual learning environment where online learners can engage in interactive and collaborative learning experiences with peers and instructors. Of course it is much better than the stuff from Coursera, edX, or Udemy!

How to find Online learners

You can get insights about the pain points of online learners if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

  • Find out where online learners hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
  • Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
  • Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
  • If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of online learners, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
  • At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Interactive Learning Platform for Online Education.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.

If you do this manually, it may take you hours each day. Automate it, with a little help from the AI in CustomerPing!
