Summary

Today's question comes from Brian, who is planning to sell a video course. How does he keep his course private? Brian's site is http://www.coachingclarity.org/. Brian mentions the course hosting site Udemy (https://www.udemy.com/), as well as the video host Wistia (http://wistia.com/). I also discuss the video hosts Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/) and Podbean (http://www.podbean.com/). The WordPress plugins I mention are WP WishList (http://member.wishlistproducts.com/) and Zippy Courses (http://askpat.com/zippycourses). The course host I use is Teachable (http://askpat.com/teachable). Another option is Gumroad (http://askpat.com/gumroad) Do you have a question about creating and selling courses? Record it at http://www.askpat.com/.

0:07.0	What's up, everybody, Patflin here, and welcome to episode 725 of Ask Pat. Thank you so much for joining me today.
0:16.8	As always, I'm here to help you by answering your online business questions five days a week.
0:20.4	All right, here's today's question from Brian.
0:22.8	Hi, Pat.
0:24.0	My name is Brian Miller, and I have a ministry coaching website at coaching clarity.org.
0:31.4	Every weekday morning, I try to listen to Ask Pat on the short drive to work, one for the information, but more importantly, for the
0:39.2	positive attitude, which is contagious. My question is about how to distribute a video class I'd
0:45.8	like to sell. I know there are various sites like Wistia, Vimeo, and YouTube, and I don't want

1:14.5	I don't really want to host a membership site.

1:30.0	Thank you for listening on a regular basis and wishing you all the best of luck with your project.
1:35.0	Now, in terms of selling videos, there's a number of different ways to do that.
1:38.6	You had mentioned Udeme, and I wouldn't recommend doing Udeme because, like like you said you lose a lot of control on how
1:44.8	it's being sold and all those kinds of things but there are a couple of ways to go about it you can
