317: Using WordPress and LifterLMS to Deploy the Course Marketplace Business Model with Adrian Nutiu
In this episode of the LMScast podcast, we’re joined by Adrian Nutiu, and he created a course marketplace using WordPress and LifterLMS. Adrian shares his journey from graduating with an accounting degree he didn’t end up using to the inspiration to start his own online education movement to democratize education the same way YouTube and other platforms have made providing information more accessible to the public.
Around 20 years ago after graduating with a degree in accounting, Adrian was intrinsically pulled towards the problems in the education industry, these days around discoverability and democratizing education online. This served as the inspiration for his platform MadBright (formerly Yumva) where experts can increase discoverability for their online courses in various industries.
Adrian highlights some of the reasons he decided to go with WordPress versus a hosted platform or a platform coded from scratch. WordPress has a high level of customizability and is built on PHP code, which is very popular amongst freelancers. That makes hiring out development work affordable, compared to coding a platform from scratch. WordPress also can be a budget solution for those looking to get started on a low budget and with more customization options than typical getting started LMS solutions like Thinkific that are priced around $100 per month and don’t offer the same customization options.
UpJourney is Adrian’s platform where he hosts guest posts and insights from industry experts around various topics from a results-oriented standpoint. Similar to MadBright as a directory for courses, UpJourney works as a blog that sources good information on popular questions.
