@robcubbon Hey Rob what do you think of alternative platforms like optimizepress and clickfunnels for selling courses versus udemy? Of course udemy is like amazon with their own traffic but I wonder about the other options as well. Thanks for this post I am working on my first udemy course for chess.
@andrewlarson Never tried either but I don't like the idea of Clickfunnels because it look expensive and has too many bells and whistles. I don't like the idea of using WordPress plugins like Optimizepress because it of the resources it takes up on the server and you have to take care of security. I used 3 WordPress plugins to sell courses and they were all unwieldy (WishList, MemberMouse, and DAP). I was hacked on DAP. I'm now using Teachable which is so easy and off my site so security and speed is their problem. I would also recommend Thinkific for these reasons.
