February 01, 2017 Which Video Host Is Best for Online Courses?
Today's question comes from Marie, who is building an online course for kids. What is the best tool to use for delivering video and keeping them protected?
In this episode, I discuss how I use video on my free podcasting tutorial (http://www.podcastingtutorial.com) versus a paid course like Smart From Scratch. Teachable is a good option if you're looking for a full course platform (http://askpat.com/teachable). If you're using your own hosting system (like WordPress with a membership plugin), Wistia is an excellent video platform (https://wistia.com/), as is Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/).
Do you have a question about hosting a paid course? Record it at http://www.askpat.com/.
My new course, Smart From Scratch, launches this month to help you choose and validate a business idea. If you're ready to get your business started, check it out at http://smartfromscratch.com.
