Hi Dave,

The custom system I built (just finished today) is automated and has no hefty monthly fees, which was what I wanted to avoid.

  • Course landing page: Carrd ($19/year)
  • Email delivery: MailerLite (Free)
  • Hosting: Google Drive (Free)
  • Payments: Stripe (they take a small percentage of each transaction)

Here’s the course landing page if you want to thumb through it:

I plan to launch it starting next week.

It took me more time to configure everything than if I had used Thinkific or Teachable or Gumroad. I certainly thought about paying for one of these services but ended up deciding to “bootstrap” instead.
