Leadpages is my top choice of Landing Page Builders. You really can build an Optin Page in 5 minutes using this system! Check out some of our Sample Leadpages we have built.

Yes there is a fee for this system - annually, but think of how much money you save by building pages fast and easy!

I have looked through - and even tried out - many different Learning Management Systems (LMS) and options for schools for Course Creators.

Teachable is my preferred choice of schools for starting out and when on a limited budget - for a variety of reasons I chose this over Thinkific, Kajabi and even ones on WordPress plugins.

1. It is fairly intuitive and easy to learn
2. It's page options have improved and there are a variety of ways to make your signup and checkout process easy and seamless.
3. It does not require an outside system to collect taxes / payments. Holy Moly, as Canadians we have to charge HST to Canadians, I do not want another system I need a monthly fee for just for that! The Kajabis of the world cannot help me.
4. There are ways to get around using their payment system to save on fees for payments. But know that one way or another you will pay the basic fees, plus Teachable has made some changes here in the past year.
5. You can use Teachable as a school or membership site only and not payments, that is what I do - it is easy if you know what you are doing. (My team and I do and we manage 5 + schools and help our clients do the same)
6. Membership Shmembership systems. Teachable works great for this too. I have been running my membership system here since 2017. I know you want a commenting system, or a forum right? Well ... just check out most membership systems and schools - people are not commenting they are complaining. Make them email for customer service, don't let them post on your comments. I turn them off. And your community can connect just nice on Facebook and it will have more activity.

Well, those are my thoughts and opinions on Teachable for Course Creators, and it is opinionated for sure, but that is because I have 2 + years experience working with it for myself and my clients and I continue to recommend it as the best option out there for Course Creators.

UPDATE in DECEMBER 2019.

I did make a move this year to Kajabi... and here is why

1. I was at an event and we were offered a "smoking" deal that was 30% off for life.
2. It gave me the opportunity to get in using a beta program fro their connection to taxjar.com for adding Canadian tax to Canadians who buy.
3. I was assured that their email marketing system for broadcasts was getting an upgrade soon fro the builder making it easier.
4. If I could make it all work in Kajabi, I could potentially save $245 a month on program fees I use now. (Teachable $99, Infusionsoft $ 239, Leadpages $40, Zapier $25 = $403 / month versus $139 Kajabi + $19 tax jar = $158/ month)

Now so far the move has been tricky! It has take a lot of time to move the program info over. There are definite learning curve needed as it is a little less intuitive if you ask me. So that means more time on the help files or chat. I am not yet convinced that it can replace my email marketing system, BUT I am convinced it can replace the Leadpages one and Infusionsoft which allows me to move to something like ConvertKit if needed to save on fee still - I would need to add $49/month to my fees if I don't feel their email marketing is what I need. (But still that is a $200/ month saving = $2400 a year- and in US for for a Canadian like me it is $ 300 a year)

But having the taxjar for the taxes portion means I definitely do not need Infusionsoft as I used their free wepay.com system to do the tax connection through stripe. It was so much easier, but the taxjar setup is slick as well and only $19 a month which is fine now for me.
