Teachable Platform - An Inside Look Around Right Now!

Published: Wed, 01/06/21

Hi ! Happy 2021. If you're thinking about offering online courses as a coach or expert but aren't sure where to begin, let me share with you my firsthand experience of trying out the Teachable platform. Keep in mind that what you see here is included with their TRIAL membership, or was at the time of recording. I made this video sometime in 2021, but I don't think a lot of people saw it!

When you decide to sell digital products, you have lots of options. You can stick with the ebook format if you want to keep things simple. Or... if you've been collecting content for a while and you have a big list of subscribers who would bite for video courses and an area where they can log in and do assignments, then Teachable might be what you're looking for. 


Why Teachable?

More than one learning format offered in ONE course that you release. So let's say you want to launch a mindfulness course. To the admin area of your Teachable account, you can log in, set up a unique course and then upload the following content for your students to access as part of the course curriculum:

Ebooks (PDF files) that cover written info on the topic of interest
Video (MP4 format) tutorials or video slide shows that offer step by step instructions
Documents (.doc format) that offer assignments for your students to download, complete on their own time, then submit for your review
Images (probably .JPG but maybe .PNG also, would have to double check this) to make it easy to offer infographics to learn from (similar to an online wiki with pictures, info and step by step how-to)
Quizzes that you can create right in Teachable thanks to the built-in software


Once I start talking about Teachable it's hard for me to stop. So let me just give you my video that I made (sorry, quality is not great but you WILL come away with a full understanding of everything that comes with this, and an over-the-shoulder peek at what the user experience is like).

Thanks and hope your 2021 is off to a productive and profitable start!
