 We've got five of the best WordPress plugins for selling digital courses here on the journey. From former school teachers to local mom and pop business owners, it seems like everyone is getting in on the digital course training these days. And I mean, why shouldn't they? According to statistics, projections show the e-learning market worldwide is forecast to surpass 243 billion US dollars by 2022. So let's talk about why you should create an online course, how to use one for your business, and which plugins to use to make it. Thanks for teaming me up, Nealey. All right, let's talk about why you should create your own digital course. As we all know, everyone is now taking online classes versus in person, whether they like it or not. But if you have expertise in any field, and let's say you want to help other people in achieving success with your help, then hey, creating an online course can be the next big thing for you. So some of the top reasons you need a digital course are well to establish yourself as an authority and your niche. Also, it can help you grow your business. That's an obvious one. It's a great place to share some evergreen content. And in the end, it could actually be your biggest moneymaker, which is my personal favorite. And once you've created the course, you can automate it completely. There are many marketing and automation tools available online, which can do the job for you. And you can work according to your time schedule. It really allows you to work from anywhere in the world, like Tahiti, sipping on some my ties and manage your course and everything with just a laptop. Let's talk about how to use online training courses in your business. I know today there is a big demand, a huge demand for courses dedicated to monetizing your hobbies. And that is earning money for doing something that you enjoy. Sounds nice, right? Well, with courses dedicated to providing knowledge and skills, students are able to learn and become successful themselves. And if you're still unsure of what you could teach, what is your expertise, right? Like teach that. Still unsure you could create an online course about cooking for specific diets like vegans. You could do a video on sharing your musical skills. So maybe sight reading or specific instruments, some other ideas, home improvement, gardening, even programming languages. The good news, there are many platforms that provide great online learning courses and also provide you with certificates after the completion of a course, which is super nice. And if you're ready to create digital courses online using WordPress, this list of plugins that we're going to go over is a great place to start. And I'm going to start off with Learn Dash. So this is one of the most popular WordPress plugins for selling digital courses and probably for a good reason. This plugin makes it easy to turn your website into a LMS or learning management system. You can deliver course materials all at once or drip feed the content over a scheduled timeline kind of like a 12 week course, making it great for instructors that want their students to go at a specific pace to ensure proper implementation of what they've learned. That's a great plugin, Nealey. Another plugin is the Sensei plugin. It's an extension for WooCommerce, making its integration with the WooCommerce website totally seamless. Next up, we have LearnPress LMS. So this one includes features such as the ability to create, manage and sell courses. This plugin works on a freemium model. So the free version of the plugin gives you access to its basic functions, but the premium features include content dripping, a memberships and certificates. The free version of LearnPress is a great way to get your feet wet in the world of digital courses and see if it's right for you before making the initial investment on the paid option. So similar to LearnPress, Lyftr LMS uses a freemium pricing model as well and simply having the ability to kick the tires on both LearnPress and Lyftr LMS before spending a dime makes it easy to understand why so many people consider these LMS options to be two of the best WordPress plugins for selling digital courses. And our last plugin is WPCourseWare and it works with any WordPress theme without any hassle. So course creation in WPCourseWare is powerful and comes with tons of features to create large or small online courses. They offer training resources to help you with your course creation journey, which is awesome. And I don't know about you, but to me, this is gold. I love the idea of someone holding my hand and guiding me in creating and marketing my course. So that way I'm creating the content that best serves my audience. And hey, if you're worried about launching before you can afford to purchase a premium plan, well, good news. You can always work on building your audience and validating your course idea first. And actually, you could even take a course on how to create and sell a digital course. So basically, truly, there is a course for everything out there and you are knowledgeable enough to teach one, two. But your journey does not end here. You can keep learning on this subject.
