Today's question comes from Saj, whose audience is asking him to create some coaching courses. What tools does he need to create a course?
These are the tools I recommend. For hosting the course, if you don’t want to create your own website, you can use Udemy (
http://www.udemy.com/) or Teachery (
https://www.teachery.co/). For a merchant account, you can use Stripe (
https://stripe.com/), PayPal (
https://www.paypal.com/), 1Shopping Cart (
http://www.1shoppingcart.com/) or
Authorize.net (
http://www.authorize.net/). Kajabi is another option for hosting courses, but I have not tried it out (
https://www.kajabiapp.com/).
To host a course on your own website, look into these WordPress platforms: WP WishList (
http://member.wishlistproducts.com/), WP Courseware (
https://flyplugins.com/wp-courseware/), and Zippy Courses (
http://askpat.com/zippycourses).
For screen recording, I recommend Screenflow for Mac (
http://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm) or Camtasia for PCs (
https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html). A great, inexpensive microphone is the AudioTechnica ATR 2100 (
http://askpat.com/atr2100). Zoom is another webinar hosting platform (
