Teachable Reviews [$100K Revenue From Courses Possible?!]

Honestly, I find a bit of difficulty to find fault with Teachable as an online platform. However, I found one on Capterra.

According to a course creator named, Robin F., he's been using the platform for the past 2 years. But whenever he has to use the Teachable inbuilt email application, he's facing troubles with it.

He wrote, "There were days when it wasn't working when I needed to send links to live classes and webinar. It's difficult to customize "welcome" emails and there's no way to schedule sends or save drafts."

If you are in a tight budget, then you have to endure paying $10 + $1 (Free plan) and 5% (Basic plan) to Teachable whenever you generate a sale from your students.

You cannot get 100% of the income unless if you opt to upgrade your plan to Professional and Business. 

The same reviewer, Robbin F., found it's a bit off for someone who wanted to create a positive impact on others if the leadership Ankur Nagpal does is angled towards the money-making alone.

However, if you think about it, it's kind of a norm for someone who's building a great platform just as Teachable does. You want to earn, too.

As much as how amazing Teachable popularity sounds to the online community, the Better Business Bureau has a different say on it.

In accord to their records, the company failed to get their accreditation status from the BBB and remained "Not Rated" up to this time.

As I mentioned in the earlier posts, it's more of the lack of information submitted rather than the overall performance of the company.

There are some course creators who found issues in canceling the subscription, especially those who weren't satisfied with their service within the 30-day period after the date of purchase.

That's within Teachable refund policies. "I found an unauthorized charge for $399.00 in my bank account from [Teachable]. I emailed them immediately, it was after hours," a disappointed course creator wrote on the BBB.

I tried Teachable myself years ago to create my own Search Engine Optimization (SEO) basic course.

As far as my experience is concerned, I found no problems with uploading content both written and visual i.e. high-quality videos, PDF downloadable, etc. 

This feature is intended given as an option for the course creator to make one content available once the student finishes the lesson on that day. You could adjust it one lesson per week or per day. It depends on you.

As a course creator, you don’t have to experience a lot of concerns when it comes to the payment or receiving payment per se.

Teachable handles the transaction leaving you at ease, although there’s a transaction fee you need to pay on behalf unless if you paid the Professional and Business plans.

Not only it presents your course in a nice, simple, and easy-to-use landing page, but it also allows your content to shine more with its layout.

If you try to visit any of the blogger’s course, you will notice the clean layout Teachable provides, allowing the sales page stand out. Especially if you have to show proof, testimonials, etc. to support your copy.

Teachable is generous enough to give free training on how to create the course until the uploading process.

They even do a regular number of webinar training not to sell but to simply teach the updated features or new trends in sales marketing applicable to the course you’re trying to put up on their platform. Most of the time, Ankur Nagpal does all of it on himself.

Many course creators testify to this feature. The same thing as MasterClass does to its target market.

Both of them provide a great amount of support to their client’s concerns, ensuring a smooth experience. Other online learning platforms such as Udemy doesn’t have that friendly vibe when it comes to this section. 

“Teachable is very user-friendly and they offer an intuitive user interface,” a verified reviewer mentioned on Capterra. 

This is another plus for Teachable making course creation as simple as it is in comparison to other existing platforms today.

“They have features like drag and drop or duplicate that makes creating training courses a breeze. I've used other course creation software and I find that Teachable is easier to understand,” another reviewer wrote.

I started blogging since 2015 and I learned about Teachable in the same year after following bloggers over the years. They used the new platform (at the time) to expand their blogging in a course content form.

From a simple blog post, they transformed it into something every learner could consume and learn in-depth while listening to the blogger’s voice and watching them talking on the video teaching stuff.

From there, the number of bloggers drove to using Teachable in their blogging career increased to the point where most of those world-renowned bloggers used the same software. That’s enough of a proof the system works, including the updated features every now and then.

"I have a couple of training hosted on Teachable and have found it to be a great software. Easy to set up and pretty flexible. I like that it's hosted, meaning I don't have the pressure of worrying with the security and uptime of using my own host," David said.

This claim isn’t limited to a few but most of the course creators, even those who just started blogging like Jerry Huang, who made use of the platform only a few years ago, and other professionals, utilize Teachable to create a deeper connection with their followers by providing relevant content in another form.

"Last week, I pre-launched my Mandarin Affiliate Marketing Course and I made over $40K in 4 hours time... One week has passed and my Pre-Launch Offer has just ended," Jerry wrote on his blog expressing his delight on using Teachable for his course.
