Teachable

Excelente plataforma si ya tienes recorrido en el negocio online

Comentarios: Es una excelente plataforma si puedes permitirte los gastos de gestión, comisiónes y mantenimiento al iniciar tu proyecto o negocio de curso online. Al brindarte tu propio hosting de contenidos, tienes una gran ventaja a la hora de gestionar grandes cantidades de información en vídeo, imagen y pdf. Es genial poder alojar los vídeos en Wistia para podelro proteger y optimizar. Quizás el no tener tantas opciones de diseño del curso es una limitación pero para validar tu proyecto esto no debería ser un problema en el inicio como si lo puede ser el tener en cuenta los posibles gastos de mantenimiento, mensualidad o anualidad de la plataforma.

Puntos a favor:

He sido alumno en Teachable anteriormente y por ello en su momento me he animado a probarla como administrador en mi propio negocio. He usado anteriormente la plataforma y de entrada resulta muy potente porque te permite alojar todos los contenidos en su propio hosting. Incluso te aloja los vídeos en Wistia que viene muy bien para optimizarlos y protegerlosEntre otras cosas me gustaba el fácil montaje del curso y el orden del menú en la derecha para acceder a tus contenidos o zonas de miembros. También la característica de goteo es fantástica para dosificar la entrada y acceso a cada módulo a mis alumnos o clientes.

Contras:

Por temas de presupuesto al iniciar mi negocio online, no me podía permitir los costes y comisiones. Además algo que me impedía lograr coherencia de imagen de marca, era la limitada opción de diseño y estética del curso...

Una plataforma ideas para alojar tus cursos online

Puntos a favor:

La facilidad de uso además de tener todo listo para subir tu primera lección. No hay excusas, Teachable te ofrece casi todo para comenzar.

Contras:

Poca o escasa personalización de la plataforma.

Muy completo, pero demasiado caro para quienes inician

Puntos a favor:

Su facilidad de uso, es súper intuitivo, muy amigable tanto para quien lo administra como para el estudiante. También me parece ideal que se pueda personalizar el branding.

Contras:

Precios demasiado elevados considerando a los creadores de curso que inician. También creo que podrían mejorar las posibilidades de diseño de las landing pages e integraciones de pago más variadas (por ejemplo, tener integración con pasarelas de pago de LATAM)

Teachable Moments

Comentarios: Overall Teachable solved a revenue issue for us! We needed a place for people to go and purchase out products and downloadable services without having to start from scratch - which is quite costly - and Teachable allowed us to do that. It help us generate necessary revenue with ease.

Puntos a favor:

Teachable is very user friendly. I am not a very technically inclined person and this program gave me the ease I needed to set our digital classroom. AT the time we began using the company could not afford more than $100 a month and Teachable was very affordable for out small nonprofit.

Contras:

I would say that my least favorite aspect of Teachable is or was the design templates, although they recently upgraded this feature and you can do a few more fancy things to your store and landing page.

They care about making a good product - but it'll cost you.

Comentarios: I have used Teachable for 5+ years, started on a free tier and have gone up the tiers as my business has grown. Though they have a lot of resources for businesses starting out, the resources for growing business is lacking in my opinion. The platform itself works well, I don't come across any broken functionality or bugs - it's more that the price has become prohibitive for me and though their customer service is helpful (offered me a slight discount on the price increase) I'll still be moving to a lifetime deal with another software. To conclude - it's a great platform but be wary as a new business starting out - once you've taken that free trial and start building your business on there, it's easy to become trapped and have to pay whatever they're asking to avoid moving your whole school to another platform.

Puntos a favor:

This software is easy to get started - on a Pro account you have everything you need, the free tier these days has very little. It's a great drag and drop course content & sales pages - handles all the sales and taxes if you like. Provide training to help you get started with not just the course creation but the sales side as well - I definitely found this helpful in the beginning.

Contras:

There is very little in terms of tracking student progress - the mail capability is lacking - I use separate softwares for emailing, customer management and even certification (zapier & mailerlite). So those features though provided by Teachable don't have much functionality. I can see individual students log ins and progress on individual courses - but overall unable to see for instance, a list of students that havent' logged in for a certain time period - I have to look at each student individually. So it's very difficult to track the students progress overall in the school. Plus they've just put the prices up and it's very expensive now.
