What is The Oren Cohen Podcast?

I'm just a dude who likes to talk about nerd stuff and entrepreneurship.

Hello everyone and welcome
back to the Oren Cohen podcast.

This is day 22 of the 30 day
challenge where I'm posting

one podcast episode every day.

If you remember from yesterday, we talked
about using the remaining days of the

challenge to build in public my course
about sensitive interview podcasting.

I'm calling the course the sensitive
art of podcast interviewing.

And in today's episode, I
want to share the platform

where I would host the course.

And why I chose
specifically that platform.

So let's get right into it.

The platform I chose to host the course
is ThriveCart and the reason I chose

Thrivecart is first and foremost,
because I have a lifetime license to it.

I've purchased it sometime ago
when I saw, that they had a sale.

And I decided to grab it
because I knew I would probably

create a course at some point.

So it was kind of a no brainer to
be like, okay, I need a platform

to use this platform is evolving.

This platform has a lot of functionality.

I started messing around with
it and I decided it could work.

Good for me, because a lot
of the lessons that I create.

I create in loom.

And loom is a good kind of tool to use.

When you want to show things.

And I think outside of talking and
explaining things, I will probably be

showing things in my courses, whether it's
a tutorial to use a software or Some kind

of strategy around a different website.

It's always good to have
a reliable software.

To actually record and show your
screen and loom, in my opinion,

just makes it very, very easy.

So that's one reason why I
chose Thrivecart because you can

embed in a lesson a loom video.

Just a quick word about all of
the other popular platforms.

Teachable Thinkific and also Gumroad.

Those three are really good.

For big courses with lots of students.

And I'm not sure that my course is going
to be a course with lots of students.

And I don't think it should have all
the kind of enterprise functionality

that comes with a teachable course.

Thinkific is the same.

They are two competing brands.

And Gumroad is a platform that I love, I'm
using it for my Python 30 day challenge.

And it's been.

Making me new subscribers almost
every day since I published it.

I don't want to event invest extra money
into this course for now because I'm

starting small I'm building it in public.

I'll offer free access
to it, to some people.

Putting it free while also needing
to pay monthly to either of those

platforms is not ideal for me because.

The audience that are actually
interacting with content.

Content creation wise.

It's pretty small.

And I don't think it merits creating
a course on such a platform that

Will incur expenses on my part.

When I actually don't have a lot
of people to offer the course to.

So that's one reason I'm not using.

Both of those like,
Thinkific and teachable.

And also gum road.

With all the love in my heart for Gumroad
Gumroad feels like more of a product kind

of platform instead of a course platform.

Thrive cart.

Create a course for me,
you can see the syllabus.

You can see the lessons.

It looks like a course page.

And.

To make it look like a
course page on Gumroad.

You have to make it
look like a course page.

while, it's just a canvas
that you can make it your own.

That's where I do want to have that
structure, because I want people to

have that easy access, like okay.

lesson one, lesson two, lesson three.

I really want that for them.

I want it to be easy.

And to make it easy on Gumroad it
will incur a lot of effort on my

part, which is not related to actually
making the lessons themselves.

This is a lot of overhead work to make the
course look the way I want it to look on

Gumroad while Thrivecart just gives me.

The course page.

As is.

So for those reasons I chose Thrivecart.

Creating the course page.

Is the first step in this
little build in public.

Journey.

So I think that's it for me today.

Thank you so much for
listening and watching.
