Tips for Selling Courses Online
6. Now decide how to sell your lessons
You have 3 options available to you:
To give yourself maximum control, it is ideal to create a personal website , where you can publish your lessons. For example, there are several WordPress plugins that can help you create and sell an online course.
If you want to opt for a faster and less technical system, you can choose to purchase shareholder database use an online course service, such as Superprof or Lifelearning .
E-learning platform: Superprof
The advantage of using these resources is that you simply have to upload the course: the platforms themselves will take care of selling it. The downside is that, since other people own the site, they will ask you for a percentage of the sale (or a monthly subscription service). Furthermore, you will not be the only one to publish a course of this kind, on that same platform: the competition is high and you may be forced to reduce the price of your course to remain competitive.
A final option is to rely on a service like Teachable , which offers some of the advantages of Self-Hosted but with the ease of use and speed of a platform. These are in fact systems that are easy to upload but customizable and can be integrated into your private domain. Usually there is a paid plan (monthly or yearly) but the fee for the courses is direct (most of these services integrate with PayPal).
