00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.580
So a quick question I wanna answer right away from those of you in the live chat is what platform what course platform do I use?

2
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:10.019
I have tried various course platforms over the years,

3
00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:11.860
including

4
00:00:12.445 --> 00:00:12.945
Teachable

5
00:00:13.245 --> 00:00:13.745
and,

6
00:00:14.764 --> 00:00:15.264
Thinkific

7
00:00:16.605 --> 00:00:18.385
and, what are some other ones I've used?

8
00:00:18.765 --> 00:00:22.705
Some of the major ones I've used. And I have also been a student

9
00:00:23.645 --> 00:00:26.625
of people who have used various course platforms, including Kajabi,

10
00:00:27.130 --> 00:00:29.070
including, LearnDash, etcetera.

11
00:00:29.689 --> 00:00:30.189
And,

12
00:00:30.890 --> 00:00:31.789
over the years,

13
00:00:32.409 --> 00:00:37.790
I I I also kind of hacked together my own way of doing it using YouTube unlisted

14
00:00:38.170 --> 00:00:40.430
YouTube unlisted playlists. Yes.

15
00:00:40.649 --> 00:00:46.015
I I I had YouTube host my courses, not YouTube, the company, but YouTube, the platform, the tool.

16
00:00:46.015 --> 00:00:51.135
I used YouTube to host my course videos for a long time, for many years, and used Google Docs.

17
00:00:51.135 --> 00:00:56.675
So I got creative hacking things together. And three years ago, I finally decided to go pro.

18
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.480
After years of making a full time income as a course creator, I decided to go pro.

19
00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:04.060
And so I I settled on the platform called Simplero.

20
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.060
That's the platform that you used to sign up for this course.

21
00:01:08.119 --> 00:01:11.580
Some of you signed up for the webinar, the free webinar, that was using Simplero.

22
00:01:12.225 --> 00:01:16.485
My email list is using Simplero. My course delivery platform is in Simplero.

23
00:01:16.865 --> 00:01:18.725
My affiliate program is in Simplero.

24
00:01:19.185 --> 00:01:23.925
All of it, my CRM, my client relationship management databases in Simplero.

25
00:01:24.380 --> 00:01:26.400
Shopping cart, everything is using Zemplaro.

26
00:01:26.460 --> 00:01:29.660
And I love it, and I've been using it very actively for three years.

27
00:01:29.660 --> 00:01:33.040
And over time, I basically became friends with the team.

28
00:01:33.100 --> 00:01:40.865
And so my favorite thing about Zemplaro is not only that they are all in one and they are constantly improving their platform, but also because

29
00:01:41.564 --> 00:01:44.225
because I've become friends with the team and with the CEO,

30
00:01:45.164 --> 00:01:48.625
and, actually, he's he's now recently, he became one of my clients,

31
00:01:49.085 --> 00:01:51.510
with content with content optimization. But,

32
00:01:52.470 --> 00:01:52.970
because,

33
00:01:53.510 --> 00:01:54.170
I become

34
00:01:54.470 --> 00:01:57.930
they have now implemented several dozen of my feature requests.

35
00:01:57.990 --> 00:02:02.330
And every time I put out a feature request now, they pay more attention. I know it's probably

36
00:02:03.590 --> 00:02:04.755
biased now. Right?

37
00:02:04.835 --> 00:02:12.535
But they because I have relationship with them, they pay more attention to my feature request than just, you know, a random user out of thousands of users they have.

38
00:02:12.675 --> 00:02:16.135
So I am grateful that I'm seeing the platform develop

39
00:02:16.435 --> 00:02:19.930
in the way that I like, And so that's one of the benefits.

40
00:02:19.930 --> 00:02:22.890
They also develop platform in a way that I don't really use as much.

41
00:02:22.890 --> 00:02:24.430
Like, they have a very sophisticated

42
00:02:24.730 --> 00:02:25.470
sales funnel,

43
00:02:26.250 --> 00:02:27.450
pipeline type of thing.

44
00:02:27.450 --> 00:02:31.150
I don't use sales funnels and pipelines, but they're developing it for people who do.

45
00:02:31.290 --> 00:02:33.635
And so anyway anyway, that's what I use.

46
00:02:34.275 --> 00:02:41.334
The the key that I wanna ask I wanna recommend in terms of choosing a course platform is make sure you have used it as a student

47
00:02:42.194 --> 00:02:44.295
because that's how I got turned on to Simplero.

48
00:02:44.650 --> 00:02:48.810
I I bought Ingrid Lille. Ingrid Lille is one of my, colleagues and friends.

49
00:02:48.810 --> 00:02:51.850
I bought her course, and she was using Simplero. I'm like, this is great.

50
00:02:51.850 --> 00:02:53.070
What what is this platform?

51
00:02:53.930 --> 00:02:57.915
And so then I I researched it, and I looked into Kajabi and all the other ones.

52
00:02:58.474 --> 00:03:01.034
Be be a student of whatever platform you're thinking of.

53
00:03:01.034 --> 00:03:05.215
If you enjoy it as a student, then you should look into it as a creator.

54
00:03:05.435 --> 00:03:06.734
So that's that's my recommendation.

55
00:03:07.114 --> 00:03:09.135
It doesn't have to be Simplero. Right?

56
00:03:09.754 --> 00:03:13.375
It could be whatever else, but use it first. Try to use it,

57
00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:18.500
like, robustly as a student to make sure you kinda, like, try to break it or or use it.

58
00:03:18.500 --> 00:03:23.220
And then if you love it, think, oh, gosh. Maybe I should look into it as a as a creator as well.

59
00:03:23.220 --> 00:03:24.440
So I hope that helps.
