I have done training now for more than 20 years. Selling chalk-time in front of a black board limits you. You only have that many hours in a day.
In 2008 I tried to get going with an open source learning management system (LMS) / platform. It did not work. I am technical; but this thing was really technical (and it did NOT look good). I closed it down after 3 months and lost a lot of money in the process. It hurts.
In 2011 I did a course on Gamification. Gamification relates to gaming and making it part of achievement within a company, app, or sport. There was 150 000 people on the course. The course was offered by the University of Pennsylvania; and done online. That is the power of online courses.
Fast forward; 2017. I got a call from Peter. He saw my LinkedIn course and suggested to take it online using Teachable. I was very impressed by the online course platform.
What took the longest was me doing the recordings. I recorded my screen while talking. The second course was a lot faster. Third even faster! Now there are 8 courses and we are planning more.
Here are some of the benefits:
- Customization: You can customize and create great looking courses
- Easy to use: Really easy to get going
- Multiple course: You can add multiple courses
- One-time payments: It has a built it payment processes
- Subscriptions: You can use this as a membership site with monthly payments

Here is how you are saving money when using Teachable as your online course platform:

- Landing page software; sales pages are created using the platform; no need to a website or landing page software
- Checkout software; built in checkout; no merchant account needed

What I like the most is you can setup your school and THEN only pay when you go live! I setup a course in less than an hour! It is that fast and easy to do. Yes, like most things in life it takes some time to learn; but this was not hard at all.
If you are teaching people something; and selling your valuable time to do that; why not take it to the next level? You create your course once and sell it forever! It is like a product without an expiry date!
Not only no expiry date; you can sell 1, 10, 100, even a 1000 courses at a time … no limit! Now that is a scalable business! Open your account today! Click here.
