Choose The Best Online Course Platform

So you've got an idea for an online business, course or membership....
How do you get it setup?
Which tools do you need?
Where do you even start?

Let's be honest it's a minefield out there - I bet you've been 'Googling' how to get your idea out to the world and what kind of program is the best?

I see you my budding entreprenuer... I've been exactly where you were --- Any of these playing in your head right now?

How much is setting up on online business going to cost me?
Should I create an online course or a membership?
What the hell is Kajabi, or Kartra, or Teachable - aren't they all the same?
Far out - I don't know all the tech stuff, am I even going to be able to pull this off?
I'm so over my job, I just want to become one of these laptop lifestyle people I see everywhere...
I wonder how much money they even make... or are they all fakers?

I bet you've even bought a couple of courses yourself...
and yet you've still done nothing with that information, & things are now even worse - because you've gone into complete overwhelm!!!

YOU FIND A SOFTWARE PROGRAM

Everyone's raving about it, but how do you know if it's the one? They say it's easy to use but you know better - there's always a learning curve with software!!!

THERE'S SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY TO LEARN THIS.

How will you ever find the time to learn new software AND marketing AND start building out your course or membership, or planning what your online business will look like? You just want easy, something you can do yourself....and not have to pay others to do.

AND WHILST YOU KNOW A STACK ABOUT YOUR TOPIC, YOUR PASSION... YOU'RE STUCK ON HOW TO GET IT OUT THERE

Whoever said running an online business is really simple is LYING. Yep there - you've said it. The more you learn about what needs to happen the more you realise this is no walk in the park.

What if I told you I found a way to get Crystal Clear on How To Pick Your Tools...

...a 4 step process to help you make a decision, the result of years of testing and trialling and googling (I'm really good at that), and now...

I'm on a mission to help others just like you and me, cut through all the crap and get to the TRUTH!

Let Me Tell You A Story Of Someone Who Believes Marketers Ruin Things

Hey - I'm Penny Clements, and I've been exactly where you are now!!! Coming from a 'nerdy' computer background... but also having spent most of my life in the advertising industry (yep weird combo, I know) I learnt early on... that not all we are shown in the world is the truth. And it's always the best marketers that suck us in to buying a product, an app, a program, a course -- through masterful emotional copywriting and promises of gold at the end of the rainbow.

But many a time, this fake approach to marketing gets in the way of you and I truly finding the product we need. We spend hours reading reviews, talking to others, trialling or even buying a sample of something to see if it's the 'thing' we're after.

So.... after working with many different businesses, in varying industries, and having run a few of my own businesses... I ended up with a method to find out QUICKLY if a product or program was going to help my business or create even more lost hours...

How much time you could save and how much further advanced your online business might be if you could make a decision QUICKLY on the exact tools you need to run it?

MY METHOD WILL HELP YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT SOFTWARE PROGRAMS YOU NEED TO RUN YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS... YOU'LL BE ABLE TO PICK FROM THE LIKES OF....

We are going to ditch the....

• Wasted Time....

• Wasted Money....

• Being Conned by Marketers

• Huge Amounts of Overwhelm

SO LET'S GET TO IT!.

First up....There are 4 questions you need to answer. Be as specific as possible.

1. WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE OR WANT?

I realise this is a silly question - you want an online business DOH! But what type? Are you planning on selling courses? A Membership? Both of those? What about physical products? Or will you only be selling digital products? What about Live Classes? Make a list of everything you'll be selling & keep it handy.

2. HOW MANY COURSES DO YOU INTEND ON CREATING?

This makes a difference - some software program plans come with a limited number of courses available on the base plan, and it's important when you're starting out to WATCH YOUR BUDGET! Maybe you're planning on 3? The usual small ticket course, medium price course & signature larger ticket course.

3. WILL YOU BE NEEDING A WEBSITE? OR DO YOU HAVE ONE ELSEWHERE?

Again - makes a difference. If you already have a website that you're happy with on Wordpress or Squarespace or Wix etc, will you be wanting to move it to an all-in-one program? Or happy to keep it where it is because you have awesome SEO? Or mabye it's a cost thing? Maybe it will be easier to have your website part of one program, and one cost?

4. WILL YOU BE NEEDING EMAIL MARKETING? OR A FUNNEL / PIPELINE?

Do you currently send out newsletters to your 'fans'? Do you send emails notifying them of new offers or tips and tricks, general marketing? If so, what program are you already using? Mailchimp, Convertkit, Active Campaign, Ontraport? What about creating landing pages, or webinar registration pages to sell your course - and email autoresponders to go with this?

Here's the thing -> if you don't know the answers to these questions... you're not ready for an online business yet!

HARSH? Yep.

I'm nothing but truthful. It simply means you need to go back over those courses you bought and DO THE WORK.

And if you haven't bought any courses, or signed up to podcasts, on how to run, manage, create, or grow an online business... then that's where you should be heading right NOW!!!

(My favorites -> you'll find here)

... if you've got those gold nuggets written down, and you know what you want for your business.... then let's dive even deeper...

Now add these to your checklist of questions as well:

Do you offer consulting or coaching services and need calendar scheduling?
Do you want to run live classes and will be needing video conferencing?
Do you need to offer Certificates of Completion or Certificates for Passing of Tests?
Is your main audience Business to Business, Government, Corporates... or the everyday consumer?
Do you want to run Webinars? Or a Virtual Summit?
If you want a Membership - will there be different levels? Run like a magazine subscription where people only get access to current material and not past?
If you want to sell Digital products like templates or ebooks or physical products like diaries etc... will you need a checkout that can do Quantities and delivery addresses?

HAVE YOU GONE EXPLORING TO SEE WHO DOES WHAT SO FAR

Draw up a list of all the platforms and their features... maybe pop them into a spreadsheet for handy reference.

**YOU WILL SOON SEE THEY ALL DO DIFFERENT THINGS -**

But none of these features matter...
until you work out what you need.
This is why it's sooo important for you to create a must-have list,
and a might-be-nice to have list.

WHAT'S THE KIND OF EXPERIENCE YOU WANT TO CREATE FOR YOUR STUDENTS?

If you only sell to government agencies, or corporates or big businesses - your needs (and those of your customers) are going to be very different. Like the ability to have bulk licenses and multiple students under one account... or super secure logins, or specific grading of courses... think about your type of customer.. and then look for the program that SUITS THEM.

ON THE OTHER HAND IF YOU SELL TO EVERYDAY CONSUMERS WHAT WILL THEY NEED FROM YOUR CHOSEN PROGRAM?

Would it be a must-have to send them a Certificate of Completion?
Or what about being able to set up webinars for people to watch and learn from you before they buy?
Would they like to read a blog from you or be sent regular emails?
Do you want them to be able to ask questions directly inside your courses?
Or communicate with each other in a Community Area?

LET'S GO OVER THE 4 KEY STEPS TO HELP YOU MAKE A DECISION

01. YOUR CHECKLISTS

Based on all you've learnt above, and of course on the vast amount of research you've already done... write up your must-have and might-be-nice lists BEFORE you go looking at any more programs.

02. AN ALL-IN-ONE OR NOT

Do you want to have the ease of an all-in-one program, say like Kajabi, or the multiple taped together products approach? Both have Pro's and Con's... and again it will come down to your wishlist.

03. YOUR BUDGET

All programs have different prices and plans, and when you're just starting out it's hard to fork out a few hundred $$$ a month. BUT... be careful here - just because a NON-All-in-one platform seems cheap, there's likely many plugins that you'll need to tack on.. and these can add up!

04. IS THERE HELP?

So another biggie is if the company behind the program offers a help desk, is it 24/7, only email - how accessible are they? Do they have a FB group where you can see other users? Are there service providers that specialize in providing users EXTRA help? Custom work? etc

WANT TO KNOW WHAT PROGRAM I ENDED UP GOING WITH?

Kajabi.

Why? Because it suited my needs. Initially I ran a service based business and offered one to one consulting, plus online courses, and a membership program. I didn't already have a website so it appealed to me to be able to build it on Kajabi.. and I knew that because it's an all-in-one platform things would just always work. When you're not plugging in various 3rd party software to make your business work, nothing gets broken (well not without user stuff-ups haha).

I'd been down the Wordpress path, and I was done with having to constantly do updates for every single 3rd party plugin and for the WP framework as well...

I wanted simple. Uncomplicated... but something that also let me tackle every component of my future business. It ticked off 85% of my checklists - and the remaining 15%? Well I've found workarounds for that.

My business has morphed today into selling Templates and Themes for Kajabi, plus a few courses. 7 years later... it still suits my needs 💖.

The program that ticks off more than 80% of your ticklist.

IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE.

Get that list happening, join the Facebook Groups, ask your questions. Don't just take a Marketer's word that it's a magical program that can make you breakfast, make you a million dollars and tuck you into bed at night.

DO THE WORK. ASK THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Finally, take a deep breath. Because once you've chosen, the hardest decision is made. It's onwards and upwards from here -- your online business awaits.

IT MIGHT NOT BE AS EASY AS THEY SAY, BUT IT'S ALOT MORE FUN BEING ABLE TO WORK IN YOUR PYJAMAS & CHAT WITH NEWLY FOUND ONLINE-BIZ BUDDIES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD!

So, in order to help you on your journey, if you decide to give Kajabi a go... I have - A FREEBIE!! for you.

BUT ONLY IF KAJABI TICKS 80% OR MORE OF YOUR CHECKLIST!!!.
