Start Using Thinkific If You're Not Already
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Thinkific for my courses, digital download lead magnets, and digital workbooks. The business problems I solve are for job seekers, providing out-of-the-box thinking search strategies as well as leveraging AI for building new income streams for the everyday person even if they are not looking to leave their current employer. Thinkific allows me to create amazing landing pages, ability to email and create funnels, and so much more. It's a convenient one stop shop and I love it!
Pros
- The accelerator program.
- Providing tips on how to succeed using their platform.
- User-friendly setup for putting together landing pages and course uploads.
- The platform is very intuitive and you don't have to have tech skills to use the platform.
Cons
- I wish bulk orders could be available for ALL plans not only the higher paying plans.
- I wish I knew how SEO worked with Thinkific because I don't think I am doing it correctly.
- I do a lot of searches in Google to figure out things like how to space in Thinkific for some of its features when working on my landing page. Apparently, there are some features that do not space and you have to use html to get the words to space in paragraph form and etc.
Return on Investment
- Well, let me tell you this! I literally launched a unlocking new income streams with AI course on a Sunday and started getting sales within 12 hours, then within 3-4 days ended up getting 4 sales. About 7 more people said they will be buying the course as soon as they get paid since the course was launched on rent/mortgage day (aka June 1st).
- My other course was priced higher and only ended up getting 3 sales within 3 weeks. However, what it did show me (it was my first course I've ever done let alone have up on Thinkific) is that I needed to revamp my course as well as landing page. Through the Accelerator program, I realized that my quality was WAY off and the landing page was NO WHERE at the level it should have been. So, that program helped a ton! Now, the course is revamped (just finished it two days ago), but this time around I am going to have a marketing plan in place before launching. So, the launch won't happen for another 3-4 weeks!
- I like that payment comes very quickly. I typically receive payment within 1-2 business days. Also, there is not a huge payment taken out of the sale as a whole.
