Teachable or Thinkific or Podia? 10 Reasons We Picked This Online LMS for Our Courses
Update for Spring 2020. Watch a quick overview of creating your first course on Podia in about 10 minutes. While the tools and tech you use to build your course community AREN’T as important as actually diving in and doing the work…..a great course building SAAS sure makes life a lot easier :)
Q: Should I launch my course on Teachable or Thinkific or Podia? Which online LMS is best….and why?
Here are our thoughts on why we’ve picked Podia for the online course (and ecommerce) platform for our community.
1. It’s the most affordable
2. Podia has built in memberships (like Patreon, only better)
3. Podia has awesome customer service that’s accessible, transparent and available
4. Great email marketing toolset, including drip emails, newsletters, automated email courses, and amazing integration (should you want it) with outside email marketing tools like Convertkit, or Mailchimp.
5. Amazingly easy landing pages with a fully featured editor for editing, creating and modifying course landing pages without touching a line of code.
6. Pre-launch pages for upcoming courses (collect names and email addresses BEFORE you launch to gauge interest)
7. Affiliate marketing made REALLY easy. (you can turn your clients, customers and students into incentivized evangelists by making them affiliates)
8. Sell digital products, too! (you can sell services, ebooks, single product downloads and more)
9. The absolute easiest drag and drop course creating tools on the market….bar none. (beautiful, easy to use and will dramatically expedite the process of creating your first (or next) course without struggling or fumbling around with outdated interfaces)
10. Bundle your products! (stack the value by putting your best products into great bundles that enhance the value and accelerate conversions. All the platforms do this — but I’ve found Podia’s the most intuitive and easy to use)
All of the online course platforms are easy to use and are great choices. I like Teachable a lot as well — and they are a good choice for a “multi vendor” marketplace — but if it’s just you, and a brand of one — Podia is your best choice in our opinion — and they have a free trial you can check out HERE, as well!
Podia is your all-in-one digital storefront. The easiest way to sell online courses, memberships and downloads, no technical skills required. Try it free!
