thank you for this video helps a lot! now I am going to try and build a course! 😁💪
I'm glad it was helpful!
I would love to connect on LinkedIn - Thanks
Brilliant analysis!! Thanks a bunch.
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Thank you so much...one question: I want to create a large program for corporations (which possibly need SCROM)...what would you recommend? I'm overwhelmed. thank you Gaia
this entire process is just uploading and uploading one after the other in the corresponding slots :P yay!
Hi, is loom compatible with most LMS sites? Citcle, Learning Worlds etc? I understand that kajabi is not scorm compliant, does this interfere with embedding videos etc? Thanks
This is so helpful for newbie online business owners, thank you!
Glad it was helpful for you!
What can you suggest for my client: I provide executive coaching to C teams and senior leaders. First, I need a coaching platform that provides the latest in 1:1 and group coaching. Membership is not important. Then I have courses that support the coaching so I need an excellent course platform. Lots of those - but no one seems to have the complete package. Do you have a recommendation? I love Teachable too, but their coaching product leaves a lot to be desired. Thank you!
Do you charge any taxes on top of the course fee, or you include them in the fee you advertise for the course?
What is the best recommendation for online for a stock trading course?
Awesome concise info Melissa! This video should be required watching for anyone new to the course creation field! 😊
Thank you!
Hi there 👋this video has been very helpful! I'm also trying to record content that's shared on screen as well as have the meeting participants visible on the side of the screen. Everytime I do it, it only records what's shared on the screen. I followed Zoom instructions and had the box in Settings in the Recording section checked for "Record vid during screen sharing" and "Place vid next to the shared screen in recording." I did another test run and it didn't work. I can't get help from Zoom at all unless I am on an expensive plan. Would you know how to fix this issue?
Great tutorial! I'm looking forward to rewatching it once I start building my course in teachable. I would love to see your videos to know the best way to promote and market courses.
Glad you found it helpful, and thank you for the video suggestion!
Awesome, but does it have another option different from stripe to create the paywall? Here in Argentina we don't have access to Stripe
Good question. If Stripe is not available in your country, consider using a payment provider integrated with Zapier on the Professional plan or above. You may be able to find more support here help.circle.so/
Hi! did thinkific take away their free version?
I believe that Thinkific sometimes removes the free plan from their pricing page to test offering free trials instead of their free forever offer. What you can do is sign up for a free trial to one of their paid plans and then they allow you to downgrade to a free forever plan if you are not ready for a paid plan yet. Team Wit & Wire
Super helpful! Thank you
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Excellent reviews. Logical. Smooth. Personable. 5 stars.
Thank you!
Awesome tip!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm loving these tutorials, very helpful in making our platform decision. I have a question about certificates. Our courses are designed for nursing continuing education (CEUs). When learners complete a course, we need to be able to issue a certificate for the training they received (which they need to provide to their state nursing board). Are Teachable or Circle able to generate completion certificates? I really like the look of Circle as a platform, and am leaning that direction due to their robust community features, but if Circle can't do the certificates I'll have to go with whatever platform can. Thanks again for you fantastic videos and thorough reviews.
@witandwire I just noticed there is a checkbox for "certificates" on your side-by-side Course Platform Comparison. So I think I got my answer. I guess I'll have to go with Teachable, or Kajabi if I want better community/social features.
Glad you got your answer! You can also use a third-party tool if you preferred Circle.
Really great breakdown. Subbed.
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful.
Clean video 👍👍
Thank you!
great video, thanks!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for the information. 😊
You're welcome!
Your hand gestures are a bit of an interruption.
Thank you for the feedback.
Hand doesn't bother me
Hi, I have sent you an email for a paid collaboration- would you be open to it? Looking forward!
Thank you for thinking of us! We appreciate the consideration, but unfortunately, we’re going to decline. We wish you all the best with your outreach.
Unable to download toolkit. Landing page has no links/buttons, just a banner image.
You can download the online course creation toolkit here: witandwire.com/download-course-creation-toolkit/ Just add your name and email address, and the toolkit will be sent to your inbox within a few minutes.
@@witandwire Ok, so this is wild. The link you provided goes to the same page as the link in the description. On my desktop, same issue, no form, no "download" button, nothing. But on my phone, pow, a form. Weird. Guess I'll use my phone. And thanks for the quick reply 😁. Aha! I use uBlock Origin on my desktop to block ads on LinkedIn...apparently it impacts web forms as well. I turned it off and now it's all good. Thought you might like to know. If anyone else has the same issue, it could be an ad blocker plugin.
That's good to know! Glad it worked :)
Peaceful Day Can you tell how to get to thinkific free plan? I am not able to locate it at this moment
You can get a 14 day free trial with Thinkific here: witandwire.com/thinkific
@@witandwire okay so they no longer just have a free plan?
@@arayahdionna9006 I believe that sometimes Thinkific does remove the free plan from their pricing page to test offering free trials instead of their free forever offer. What you can do is sign up for a free trial to one of their paid plans and then they allow you to downgrade to a free forever plan if you are not ready for a paid plan yet.
Thank you so much, this was GREAT
Glad it was helpful!
What is your microphone
Great question! Melissa uses the Shure MV7. If you're interested in learning more about our microphone recommendations, check out this blog: witandwire.com/best-podcast-microphone-for-beginners/ Team Wit & Wire
Everything is Teachable 😁
Agreed!
Thank you for providing these walkthroughs. There are so many options out there that it can be paralyzing. Do you have any content on how to optimize your YT videos? I've noticed that you have a score of 100 on most of your videos and I would love to see a step-by-step guide on your process. All the way from choosing the videos to optimizing the title, description, and thumbnail.
Great question! I don’t currently have any UA-cam tutorials, but it’s something I’ve been getting more questions about, so I’ve been thinking about it. I’ll definitely bookmark the idea, and I appreciate the suggestion!
Hi Melissa. Do you have an episode about Course Descriptions? - In our circles we seem to need good descriptions to let people find out if our courses are what they are looking for. /( ryan)
Great question! I don’t have a video specifically on course descriptions, but I do have these two courses which include drafting a pitch (and for Course Builders, developing the full course): 7-Figure Product Suite: witandwire.com/7-figure-product-suite Course Builders: witandwire.com/courses
@@witandwire lots of thanks!
How to edit video like this ?
Great question! I recommend checking out our video on How to Record & Edit your Online course here for some tips: ua-cam.com/video/PnGpyRlj3Mk/v-deo.html
I don’t have record button
Your version of Zoom is likely newer than mine, since this video was recorded over a year ago. All of the features are still possible, but they may have moved slightly. I’d check out Zoom’s help articles for more info.
Thanks. Once big issue is managing state sales tax and potentially vat taxes. How do you handle that in your business? Obviously, using a third party accounting service, but where would you recommend that I look for that. I realize that maybe an lms can collect the tax....but I believe staying in compliance with 50 US states and territories is a real concern/issue to be resolved before selling anything.
Great question. Different checkout platforms handle VAT taxes differently, so we do have a column about Payment Processor types in our free Course Creation Toolkit: witandwire.com/coursetoolkit We recommend that resource as a starting point, but from there, you might choose 1-2 platforms to research further. To see their specific VAT/tax handling functionality, you can search for “VAT” in their help articles, typically found in the footer of their websites. Lastly, since I’m not a tax professional, my last tip is to consult with a professional in your country, since they’ll be able to offer the best advice.
@@witandwire yes, thanks. It's a complicated issue and I believe its a disservice (not by you) when the LMS companies encourage the sale of a course online but don't provide a built in solution to complete a legal sale. Either you are a one stop all included technology or you are not. You cannot sell online without the third party support...as you know. Sales tax is complicated for individual owners.
It can be very complicated. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Thank you i was looking for something like this
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Great Intro on using Zoom. Thanks for your videos on your UA-cam Channel as well!
Glad it was helpful!
following.
Thank you!
This is one of the best email marketing platform reviews I've seen recently, especially the last segment, It covers most platforms.
Thanks for this video, very helpful!
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful!
I love you research and explanation, it really stands out among all the other bias videos on yt. I would like tho know, if you still need a third party website when using thrive cart and is wix a good option if so? Or does thrive course live sone where else?
Thank you! Glad it was helpful. Thrivecart doesn't have video hosting, so you could use a platform such as Loom. I recommend checking out our full review on ThriveCart Learn + here: ua-cam.com/video/lPoPTvNoUxo/v-deo.html
@@witandwire Thank You
Do you know if Descript also has the drawing feature that Loom has?
Great question. Descript doesn’t have the drawing feature that allows you to write onscreen during a recording, but they do have far more editing options post-recording, including things like adding shapes, arrows, and transitions to your videos.
Teachable stuffed me lol. I signed up on the original deal, basically pay as you go and for 3 years all was fine, then they sold the platform and the new owners said..Hey.. you need to upgrade or we'll shut all your courses down. So, I get oinked, didn't pay their £400 a year and they closed me down. OK..thought I, so, I went to Thinkific for a year, which was nice (and they were nice) but at £440 a year with VAT it's ultimately a tad pricey for a small operator like myself. So, now I'm looking for a new one!
Have you found one?
@@timeascause7431 Yeah going with System i.o at $16 a month..I'll give em a try!
Thank you for sharing. In regards to your comment below about Systeme.io, I recommend checking out our video here: ua-cam.com/video/bugL3st8Ouc/v-deo.html You can also check it out free here: witandwire.com/systeme

I was wondering if I could help you edit your highly engaging videos thumbnails and Video SEO Optimization and Promotion which will help your video to reach to a wider audience and increase your subscribers and viewers.

I was working on setting up in Teachable and then they changed dramatically last year. Now I’m looking at Thinkific instead. I appreciate this video! Could you do a review of Thinkific, too?
Hello , Great Informative Content Also, your Affiliates are not working on my system. Not sure if its acting weird only on my side, but the websites won't open. Thought you might wanna look into it.
Thank you. Our site was temporarily down yesterday but is now back up and running, so give it a try today! Team Wit & Wire
I'm a little concerned about their customer service. I sent a support request over 5 days ago, and a follow up email and still have no response 😬
I'm sorry to hear that! I hope they get back to you soon.
I think you should have somewhere we can tip you for the great info you're providing. Normally I see the option on a UA-camr's video, but I guess I don't see it on yours because you haven't joined the youtube membership program thing.
Thank you, that's very kind of you. If you're interested, we do accept tips here: secure.witandwire.com/tips No pressure, but it’s very appreciated! Team Wit & Wire
