This is not the Field of Dreams, "build it and they will come". Part of being of service to others is letting people know you exist, that you are available to be of assistance.

You can apply spiritual principles to promoting your course, and we actually encourage you to do so... but remember that faith lives in our actions. As you think about how you can promote your course, listen to where your heart guides you.

Also, notice when there is resistance in you. Resistance often is not a sign of "that isn't the way to go" (disinterest takes care of that), but instead it is a sign that this is the path for you but you will have to grow in some way to go down it.

How to Promote Your Course
