If you want to sell your own lessons in the internet, there are countless numbers of online learning platforms on the world. The student over the world join and learn the courses from websites and the learning platform also becomes most popular market. You can sell your online courses over the world by using learning platform website. It is very interesting and is a chance to become well known online trainer. Although you can build your own learning platform website, the cost of building learning website is so much. In this case, I will guide you how to sell your own online course without building your own additional website.

  1. Udemy

Udemy is free for instructors and you can publish your courses as PowerPoint Slides, PDF documents, and Video format. Most of instructors publish their courses as video file. I recommend Udemy because you can use variety of marketing tools to promote your courses. But Udemy takes the profit 50/50 split whatever you sell. See more profit splitting plan at Udemy official website. Most of instructors make success on Udemy. You can make your course as free or paid. I recommend you to create both free and paid courses.

2. Teachable

Teachable lets you to sell online courses and makes an automatic learning platform website for you. Udemy is like as training courses store and doesn’t make automatic learning platform website for instructors. Teachable makes your own custom branding style. To build a custom branding website, you only need your own custom domain name. There are 4 pricing plans in teachable. If you signup as free account, you can’t setup with custom domain. I recommend you to signup as basic plan at first. Basic plan starts 39 USD per month. It is affordable price for online training website. See more pricing at its official website.

3. Thinkific

Similar to Teachable. Thinkific makes your own brand learning platform website. You can easily make your lessons in Thinkific and make publish.Thinkific offers 4 pricing plans : Starter, Essential, Business and Advanced. If you started with Starter plan, you can’t setup custom domain name. So, I recommend you to start with Essential plan.

4. LearnWorlds

LearnWorlds also make your online training school website. It provides marketing tools, beautiful page builder, 5 payment gateways, built-in social network and much more. But LearnWorlds has no free plan. It starts at least 29 USD per month with Starter Trainer plan. If you want to give certificate to your student, you need to sign up as Pro Online Trainer plan. It starts 99USD per month.
