[@TonyaEL]

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@AureliusTjin]

Thanks for watching!

[@oliviaareid6108]

This is amazing content! It gets straight to the point. Personally, I prefer to use CourseFunnels for building my courses due to its user-friendly interface and wide range of themes and templates. This platform has made course creation a breeze for me, and I have been using it with great satisfaction for some time now.

[@emilthomassen02]

What would you say is a good place to start making a course? I'm a complete beginner but I have a ton of stuff to teach.

[@evaguo1]

Thank you, Aurelius! Super helpful and thank you for not speaking like you don't breathe (like a lot of TH-camrs who, apparently, don't need to breathe and speak at 100000 words per second). I'm particularly curious about which hosting platforms to use. If you or anyone reading this has updates, please let me know. Can one just not use a platform? If yes, how would that work? Thanks!!

thanks man, starting on payhip now! Going to be about 'Build a Muscular Physique'

[@Karen-id6ey]

This was ansolutely excellent

[@phemmy2008]

You have excellently done well

[@houseofamma]

So glad to see Payhip as an option. My biggest obstacle is the upfront cost for course creation. This makes it so much easier and a lot less overwhelming/scary. Thank you!

[@realwesatkinson]

Course creation can be overwhelming to get going. There are ways to get your course created at a low-price point. Many website builders are beginning to incorporate online course (or Learning Management System) features into their web design builders. Finding a partner like Thinkific or Payhip is great because they're hyper-focused on one audience. So their features will be better aligned with course creators' needs. Best of luck!

[@bryancheah8177]
