Self-Hosting vs. Marketplaces – Which option do you prefer?
Great overview.
Thankyou mr Tony Stark 🙂
really helpful thank you!
Brilliant!
Thank you, Miguel, for this overview. My WORST CASE scenario for self-hosted courses (in my case Learndash on WordPress) is that some technical glitch (not seldom on WordPress) would disrupt the access to the course for my clients. And I would be accountable for that!
Secondly, how to ensure people still can access their purchased courses in case you decide to discontinue the business or switch to other solutions? I think, this is the most vulnerable issue for self-hosting. What's your take on this?
Great video!
I am convinced with Thinkific. But I just have one query.
Will I be able to set up quizzes and the course content in a different language? Say for instance hindi or tamil? Please do let me know.
“Did a homo sapiens send this email to you?” 😂
Can we host same course in different Platforms like Udemy, Coursersa or our personal website ? Please guide
Love your content Grumo! Muchas gracias. Quizás podemos hacer una charla en nuestro podcast 😎
Very informative. Thank you. Can you host a course on multiple platforms at the same time without any legal repercussions?
Thank you for the video. Would it be a good strategy to try both approaches at the same time and test them?
The arguments you propose are interesting although well known. On the other hand, there is a parameter that nobody ever takes into account: it is the specificity of the course with a balance between on one hand generalist courses, not very specialized with a large audience (and competition) and on the other hand hyper-specialized courses with a restricted audience. In my opinion, this is a major parameter to consider in this kind of comparison.
Thank you for all of your information.
What is the minimum capital you need to build an email list?
Thanks for this very insightful video, it came at the exact right moment for me
