1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,730 Hello everyone and welcome back to the Oren Cohen podcast. 2 00:00:02,790 --> 00:00:07,500 This is day 22 of the 30 day challenge where I'm posting 3 00:00:07,529 --> 00:00:09,990 one podcast episode every day. 4 00:00:10,510 --> 00:00:16,030 If you remember from yesterday, we talked about using the remaining days of the 5 00:00:16,030 --> 00:00:22,290 challenge to build in public my course about sensitive interview podcasting. 6 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,560 I'm calling the course the sensitive art of podcast interviewing. 7 00:00:27,070 --> 00:00:30,970 And in today's episode, I want to share the platform 8 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,540 where I would host the course. 9 00:00:33,930 --> 00:00:38,070 And why I chose specifically that platform. 10 00:00:38,099 --> 00:00:39,120 So let's get right into it. 11 00:00:39,169 --> 00:00:44,969 The platform I chose to host the course is ThriveCart and the reason I chose 12 00:00:44,969 --> 00:00:51,240 Thrivecart is first and foremost, because I have a lifetime license to it. 13 00:00:51,749 --> 00:00:57,179 I've purchased it sometime ago when I saw, that they had a sale. 14 00:00:57,749 --> 00:01:00,679 And I decided to grab it because I knew I would probably 15 00:01:01,139 --> 00:01:02,580 create a course at some point. 16 00:01:02,940 --> 00:01:08,669 So it was kind of a no brainer to be like, okay, I need a platform 17 00:01:08,669 --> 00:01:11,610 to use this platform is evolving. 18 00:01:11,639 --> 00:01:13,320 This platform has a lot of functionality. 19 00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:18,810 I started messing around with it and I decided it could work. 20 00:01:19,709 --> 00:01:23,699 Good for me, because a lot of the lessons that I create. 21 00:01:24,090 --> 00:01:25,440 I create in loom. 22 00:01:26,039 --> 00:01:29,920 And loom is a good kind of tool to use. 23 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,990 When you want to show things. 24 00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:37,630 And I think outside of talking and explaining things, I will probably be 25 00:01:37,630 --> 00:01:44,270 showing things in my courses, whether it's a tutorial to use a software or Some kind 26 00:01:44,270 --> 00:01:46,820 of strategy around a different website. 27 00:01:47,210 --> 00:01:50,179 It's always good to have a reliable software. 28 00:01:50,769 --> 00:01:55,449 To actually record and show your screen and loom, in my opinion, 29 00:01:55,449 --> 00:01:57,009 just makes it very, very easy. 30 00:01:57,609 --> 00:02:01,359 So that's one reason why I chose Thrivecart because you can 31 00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:04,719 embed in a lesson a loom video. 32 00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:09,289 Just a quick word about all of the other popular platforms. 33 00:02:09,739 --> 00:02:13,129 Teachable Thinkific and also Gumroad. 34 00:02:13,649 --> 00:02:16,019 Those three are really good. 35 00:02:17,009 --> 00:02:20,189 For big courses with lots of students. 36 00:02:20,819 --> 00:02:25,679 And I'm not sure that my course is going to be a course with lots of students. 37 00:02:26,099 --> 00:02:31,799 And I don't think it should have all the kind of enterprise functionality 38 00:02:31,799 --> 00:02:34,649 that comes with a teachable course. 39 00:02:35,259 --> 00:02:36,729 Thinkific is the same. 40 00:02:36,729 --> 00:02:38,559 They are two competing brands. 41 00:02:39,109 --> 00:02:45,459 And Gumroad is a platform that I love, I'm using it for my Python 30 day challenge. 42 00:02:45,799 --> 00:02:46,579 And it's been. 43 00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:52,069 Making me new subscribers almost every day since I published it. 44 00:02:52,429 --> 00:02:57,109 I don't want to event invest extra money into this course for now because I'm 45 00:02:57,109 --> 00:02:59,329 starting small I'm building it in public. 46 00:02:59,659 --> 00:03:02,809 I'll offer free access to it, to some people. 47 00:03:03,269 --> 00:03:09,149 Putting it free while also needing to pay monthly to either of those 48 00:03:09,149 --> 00:03:12,389 platforms is not ideal for me because. 49 00:03:13,109 --> 00:03:16,109 The audience that are actually interacting with content. 50 00:03:16,619 --> 00:03:17,999 Content creation wise. 51 00:03:18,809 --> 00:03:19,859 It's pretty small. 52 00:03:20,459 --> 00:03:26,380 And I don't think it merits creating a course on such a platform that 53 00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:29,719 Will incur expenses on my part. 54 00:03:30,769 --> 00:03:34,760 When I actually don't have a lot of people to offer the course to. 55 00:03:35,290 --> 00:03:38,590 So that's one reason I'm not using. 56 00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:41,770 Both of those like, Thinkific and teachable. 57 00:03:41,770 --> 00:03:43,390 And also gum road. 58 00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:48,808 With all the love in my heart for Gumroad Gumroad feels like more of a product kind 59 00:03:48,808 --> 00:03:51,568 of platform instead of a course platform. 60 00:03:52,168 --> 00:03:53,248 Thrive cart. 61 00:03:53,788 --> 00:03:57,238 Create a course for me, you can see the syllabus. 62 00:03:57,508 --> 00:03:59,548 You can see the lessons. 63 00:03:59,858 --> 00:04:02,228 It looks like a course page. 64 00:04:02,828 --> 00:04:03,278 And. 65 00:04:04,208 --> 00:04:07,028 To make it look like a course page on Gumroad. 66 00:04:07,108 --> 00:04:09,408 You have to make it look like a course page. 67 00:04:10,028 --> 00:04:13,618 while, it's just a canvas that you can make it your own. 68 00:04:14,108 --> 00:04:18,968 That's where I do want to have that structure, because I want people to 69 00:04:18,968 --> 00:04:21,368 have that easy access, like okay. 70 00:04:21,368 --> 00:04:23,498 lesson one, lesson two, lesson three. 71 00:04:24,398 --> 00:04:26,198 I really want that for them. 72 00:04:26,258 --> 00:04:28,208 I want it to be easy. 73 00:04:28,658 --> 00:04:33,578 And to make it easy on Gumroad it will incur a lot of effort on my 74 00:04:33,578 --> 00:04:38,558 part, which is not related to actually making the lessons themselves. 75 00:04:38,978 --> 00:04:44,558 This is a lot of overhead work to make the course look the way I want it to look on 76 00:04:44,558 --> 00:04:47,228 Gumroad while Thrivecart just gives me. 77 00:04:47,588 --> 00:04:48,758 The course page. 78 00:04:49,148 --> 00:04:49,838 As is. 79 00:04:50,358 --> 00:04:53,508 So for those reasons I chose Thrivecart. 80 00:04:54,038 --> 00:04:55,388 Creating the course page. 81 00:04:55,798 --> 00:04:58,828 Is the first step in this little build in public. 82 00:04:59,298 --> 00:04:59,838 Journey. 83 00:05:00,378 --> 00:05:02,538 So I think that's it for me today. 84 00:05:02,968 --> 00:05:06,628 Thank you so much for listening and watching. 85 00:05:06,878 --> 00:05:13,118 If you have any questions about content creation and you want to see more content 86 00:05:13,178 --> 00:05:15,548 around tutorials and stuff like that. 87 00:05:16,538 --> 00:05:18,758 Please check out my newsletter. 88 00:05:18,848 -->
