Summary
Greg Smith is the Founder & CEO of Thinkific, a software platform that makes it easy to create, market, and sell online courses. Greg is a former corporate lawyer (for one of the largest firms in the country) who launched an online course as a side project - and when the revenue from the course knocked his corporate income out of the park, he took things full time. Since then, Greg and the Thinkific team have helped thousands of people to sell online courses so that they can build their brands and make money from their online courses.
Greg is doing more than just making the "tech" stuff easy for entrepreneurs, but to help people remove the barrier to creating their own online course and profiting from it.
In this episode, Greg will share:
- How Thinkific will make it SIMPLE (did we mention it's simple?) to create your online course in everything from creation to user experience
- His top tips for marketing your online course-- even on a small budget (hint: it's not all about Facebook ads)
- The online courses he sees as the most successful and how to leverage engagement to amp up your own course
If you've been considering owning and selling your own online course - whether you're a new entrepreneur or a side hustler or a seasoned business owner - Greg's platform will help you to simplify the process and make it easy for you to focus on increasing your income.
