Where can YOU host and sell your OWN Online Course for Free?
How would you like to be able to host a course for free?
Say you’ve created a course with videos on YouTube, Vimeo or even Facebook, how will people find it?
Sure, you could just send an email, setup a playlist or just re-share it on those platforms.
But wouldn’t you like to take control of that, know who is watching and build a relationship with them?
Why host course on platform?
If you’re like many who want to avoid learning more platforms, you probably setup an email to send people links to your videos.
Or maybe, you’re just not bothering and you’re just posting on social media over and over hoping people will watch.
Truth is many see your posts and think to themselves that they’ll watch it later but when they remember, they can’t find it anymore.
That’s why you want a place where they can go and easily find it.
What platform should you post it on?
There are so many places to post your course, how do you choose?
