Let me explain how I made this business plan course, and why I made it that way. I originally made my http://www.problemio.com business plan apps that also acted as a small business plan course.
One of the features in my business plan apps is that people can ask me questions about their business plan. As I kept getting more questions, I kept noticing that entrepreneurs were making similar mistakes planning their business. That made me start adding educational articles and tutorials into the app for how to write a business plan.
The problem was that the app is a small piece of software on a phone. So there was a somewhat limited number of tutorials that I could add to the app before making it cumbersome. For that reason I wrote a book on going from business ideas to starting a business.
And writing the book on this topic also made me want to create a business plan course. In my Udemy business plan course I was able to share many more tips, ideas and strategies than I was not able to share on my business plan app because the app had only a limited number of articles that I could realistically add to it.
I structured the business plan course on Udemy in a couple of major sections. First, there are the fundamentals. The bulk of the business plan course goes over each section of a business plan, and explains how to write that particular business plan section, while also explaining how to think about that part of your actual business. That makes this business plan course more practical than just a course on how to write a business plan document.
It is very important to write a business plan before you actually start your business. You must catch the problems you might face down the line during the planning phase. And it is much cheaper to catch problems during the business plan stage of the business rather than catching problems after the business has started and a direction has been chosen.

✂️ Design, Decorate, and Do It Yourself: The Howto & Style Genre
The Howto & Style genre is a massive, practical, and highly visual category dedicated to instructing viewers on personal improvement, crafting, home decor, and aesthetic skills. These videos serve as highly accessible, free workshops for mastering life skills and cultivating personal style.
The Pillars of Practical Instruction 🎨
This genre thrives on the promise of transformation—showing viewers how to achieve a desired outcome, whether it's a perfect smoky eye, a renovated piece of furniture, or a delicious meal. It emphasizes clear, step-by-step guidance and visually appealing results.
Key Content Formats and Niches 💄
- Beauty and Makeup Tutorials: Step-by-step guides on applying makeup, skincare routines, product reviews, and mastering specific looks (e.g., bridal, special effects).
- Fashion and Outfit Lookbooks: Videos showcasing various outfits, styling tips, clothing hauls, and advice on building a capsule wardrobe.
- DIY and Crafting: Instructional content for creating objects, including knitting, painting, jewelry making, and repurposing old items. The emphasis is on budget-friendly creativity.
- Home Decor and Organization: Guides for interior design projects, decluttering strategies, room makeovers, and specific furniture builds or hacks.
- Cooking and Recipes: Detailed video recipes, culinary techniques, meal prep guides, and taste tests. This niche focuses on both the process and the delicious final presentation.
- Life Hacks and Productivity: Quick tips and tricks designed to simplify daily routines, save time, or improve efficiency in various aspects of life.
The Deep Appeal of Learning and Aspiration 💡
Howto & Style videos succeed because they offer viewers immediate, actionable knowledge that leads to tangible personal or environmental improvements. They appeal to the desire for competence, beauty, and efficiency.
Motivation Through Demonstration ✨
The visual nature of video is perfect for this genre, as seeing the exact placement of a makeup brush or the correct way to hold a saw is far more effective than reading the instructions. The final reveal (the "after") provides powerful motivation.
Why This Content Goes Viral 🚀
- Before-and-After: Videos featuring dramatic transformations (makeovers, room flips, restorations) generate immense interest and shareability.
- Accessibility: Using common, affordable tools or products makes the project feel achievable for the average viewer. "Five-Minute Makeup" or "Under $50 DIY" videos are highly popular.
- Inspiration: The content feeds the viewer's aspirational side, providing achievable goals for personal style or home aesthetic.
- Trust in the Expert: Viewers develop trust in creators who consistently deliver reliable results and practical, high-quality instruction.
Tips for Creating Top-Tier Howto & Style Videos ✍️
Success in this genre depends heavily on clear communication, polished aesthetics, and meticulous attention to detail during the demonstration.
Production Essentials for Instruction 📸
- Close-Up Clarity: Use tight, well-lit shots to show the crucial details of the process (e.g., the needle threading, the blending of eyeshadow, the cutting angle). The viewer must see exactly what the creator sees.
- Excellent Lighting: Lighting is non-negotiable, especially for beauty and home decor. Natural, bright light is best for showing true colors and textures.
- Voiceover and Pacing: Use clear voiceovers that narrate every step, but maintain a quick pace. Edit out any downtime or unnecessary waiting periods (like paint drying).
- Final Reveal: Always include a high-quality, well-framed shot of the finished product. This is the payoff for the viewer's time and serves as a compelling thumbnail image.
