Micro Course Maker is an incredibly easy to use app created by Barry Rodgers that creates really professional looking interactive micro courses in just a few clicks. These courses tick all the right boxes. They are engaging, easy to consume, solve a very specific problem, and lead seamlessly to any related offer of your choice – particularly good for affiliate promotions.

The problem with PDFs is that they are ‘passive’.

Increasingly people need something that keeps them interested – it’s pretty well known side effect of the modern information age that people’s attention spans are getting shorter and shorter. Even if the information in a PDF is very good, many readers will lose interest and not get to the end. And this means that their engagement is lower – so they are less likely to read your content in future, meaning lower open rates and fewer sales.

Also, when they don’t get to the end of your PDF they don’t get to see your ‘next step’ recommendation – so sales of whatever you are promoting will suffer.

I still think there is a role for PDFs, but including interactive micro courses in the mix will get you more attention, more engagement, and more sales.

And Barry’s Micro Course Maker app makes it incredibly easy.

It is not trying to help people create long courses filled with endless modules and complicated lesson structures. Instead, the platform is built specifically around short, focused, practical micro-courses designed to create engagement and momentum quickly.

That distinction is incredibly important because it aligns far more closely with how modern audiences actually consume content online.

A focused micro course will often outperform a long ebook or massive training series simply because people actually complete it. Once somebody experiences a quick win, they naturally become more curious about the deeper solution, and that is exactly where affiliate offers fit into the process.
