Very clear explanations in all your videos. The bit that gets me is using email marketing and connecting up Teachable to my website. Another video on using your favourite email marketing platform would be useful and how to use the data bases. I just can't get my head around the parts, that's why Kajabi sometimes seems like a better option for 'dummies' or people who don't have the mental capacity to use multiple platforms!!

So many moments where I said outloud "gosh, I'm glad I watched this video." THANK YOU SO MUCH. So helpful for a seriously technologically disadvantaged business owner like me, ha!

Melissa - No cap, this was absolutely the best YouTube instruction video I have EVER seen. You are so knowledgeable and the video was easy to follow. Thank you so much. Greatly appreciated. I'm a lot more confident than I was going into this .

[fuelyourfinancialfreedom]

Thank you so much! We are creating our first course and I walked through it with you step by step.

Excellent tutorial!! I am wanting to put some of my face-to-face workshops as online courses and had no idea where to start (pre-computer generation). I had thought about Teachable but then saw that there are so many other options too. This has convinced me to go with Teachable (one course at a time). Thank you so much! xx from England (UK)

Great tutorial. I'm definitely heading toward using a teachable for my first course hopefully next year 🤞🏼 I'm currently into SEO, trying to learn as much as possible, test it out and see how high I can rank my things. You mentioned SEO as a possible future video and I would love to hear and see your experience, advice, tips, etc. :)
