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?

[@MilenaRadević-t6m]

Hi Melissa, I wanted to say I love your tutorials, they're SUPER helpful! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge so selflessly and in an extremely helpful manner! One thing I'm curious about that I also love is that /slide in/ single color transition that you use when you want to change the topic slightly. It flows so amazingly, do you have any tips for inserting that into my videos? Thanks again for everything you do!

[@wyldjem]

you are an excellent teacher. Well done!!😀

[@witandwire]

Thank you!

[@ZYTHI]

Wow, what a fantastic tutorial!!! 🤩🎉💡 I'm so grateful for your step-by-step guidance on using Teachable 🙏👏. Your explanations are clear and concise 💬. I'm excited to create my own online course now 🎊👍. Thanks so much, Melissa! 😊👫

[@witandwire]

Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful.

[@quicknailz]

This course creation looks magical!!!

[@witandwire]

Thank you!

[@UnhandledExceptionShow]

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.

[@witandwire]

Glad you found it helpful, and thank you for the video suggestion!

[@witandwire]

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, sorry! I think it is unfortunately, too technical of a question and more in-depth than we can answer well via KZbin. Melissa does provide this level of support and help via Wit & Wire’s programs, but there’s no pressure to join. (You can learn more via witandwire.com/courses.) Team Wit & Wire

[@aviralarpan7350]

Wow, this is a perfect tutorial.

[@witandwire]

Thank you!

[@MattyB1970]

Hi Melissa, I have found your channels immensely helpful. One thing that particularly impresses is your crisp and clear delivery. I’m interested in the tools and preparation you do for your videos. Do you read from a script, practice, learn by heart what’s your secret? Also, in your lessons, do yo make your slides from scratch, or do you use templates or sell templates. Both would be excellent topics for future videos. Thanks 😊

[@witandwire]

Thank you! And that’s a great question. For most videos, I prep notes in advance, but I don’t read off a teleprompter. (I definitely have in the past though, and it works really well for a lot of video creators.) My favorite app is called “Teleprompter” if you have an iPhone and search in the app store. For a computer, I like witandwire.com/bigvu I recommend downloading my Video Toolkit for a comparison on my favourite tools: witandwire.com/download-video-toolkit/

[@Focusonyou2024]

thank you for this video helps a lot! now I am going to try and build a course! 😁💪

[@witandwire]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@themeparkamusement2214]

Very Helpful. Thanks!

[@witandwire]

I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@sophia-luciakwon2792]

this entire process is just uploading and uploading one after the other in the corresponding slots :P yay!

[@witandwire]

It's fairly simple!

[@DataWizardry]

Hi Melissa, Was wondering if you could comment on what % of students tend to request a refund for most online courses? (For example, mine tends to be around 5% who eventually request a refund). I always feel bummed when someone requests one.

[@witandwire]

Great question! It’s not a number most businesses share, so I’m not sure if there’s a current standard for online businesses. A lot of factors can go into it.

[@Sreemadhuvlogs]

Hey ! You are my favourite you tuber Do you provide certificate with your course

[@witandwire]

Thank you! That’s very kind, I appreciate it! To answer your question, yes, we can issue completion certificates by request, but our Wit & Wire courses don’t include any official accreditation. (The certificate would mark a personal accomplishment.)

[@jdstarek]

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.

[@jdstarek]

@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.

[@witandwire]

Glad you got your answer! You can also use a third-party tool if you preferred Circle.

[@Billy_Cook]

Thanks for your wisdom. Which is the best for someone using Wordpress for the website but wants to direct their sales to a course and community platform? (My situation).

[@witandwire]

I would recommend downloading our free Course Creation Toolkit for a side-by-side comparison of today's top course creation platforms to see what works best for you! witandwire.com/download-course-creation-toolkit/

Everything is Teachable 😁

[@witandwire]

Agreed!

Hello I have a question.. I received your mini masterclass thank you so much! If I want to invite people as beta testing for my products or as a gift do I create separate course links?

[@witandwire]

Great question, and I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the free masterclass! Your technical question is a bit more in-depth than I can answer well via KZbin.

​@@witandwireok thank you

[@TheProcessLife]

I have the teachable free plan but I have reached my limit but to upgrade it says it cost $59mo not $39. Why is mine different?

[@witandwire]

Good question! The monthly cost is $59 and $39/mo if you pay the annual fee. Hope that helps! Team Wit & Wire.

[@TheProcessLife]

@@witandwire Thank you 😍

[@quicknailz]

Hello again..can I list course on etsy? Then route the buyer to teachable? What kind of link would I create for that?

[@witandwire]

Another great question. I shared a similar reply to your first comment, but this technical question is a bit more in-depth than I can answer well via KZbin.

Could you please do a review video about Videoscribe? Thank you ❤️

[@witandwire]

Thank you for the suggestion! We'll keep it in mind. Team Wit & Wire

[@ZoomOut-BiggerPictures]

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)

[@witandwire]

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

[@ZoomOut-BiggerPictures]

@@witandwire lots of thanks!

[@theakhoeuth]

hi Melissa! I'm having trouble trying to add multiple courses on my website. I'm not sure if it is considered a bundle but I wanted to sell them separately if that's possible. please help!

[@witandwire]

Good question! It's hard to know what the exact issue is, but I recommend taking a look at this support article on bundled content: support.teachable.com/hc/en-us/articles/219441448-Course-Bundled-Content Alternatively, you can reach out to the Teachable support team for more detailed assistance!

[@ZaibiDesigner]

Hey , I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. 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.

[@witandwire]

Thank you, glad it was helpful! And we currently already work with a KZbin editor. Team Wit & Wire

[@AHMEDALAM92S]

How are you on you are looking for an editor to work with you

[@witandwire]

Not at this time, thank you!

[@MarketsyAI]

Hi Melissa. Thank you for such a great tutorial! Is there any chance to get feedback or even roasting 🔥 about my own platform for courses monetising called Marketsy? It would be invaluable to be roasted by such a professional creator like you

[@witandwire]

Thank you! I'll pass it along to Melissa. -Team Wit & Wire
