    Its a very flexible system so can be used in pretty much any scenario. The only time someone would perhaps not want to use it, is if they don't want to be responsible for maintaining the site (in terms of Wordpress backups, updates and security)

    Gets the job done and is easy to use. We've definitely made serious revenue with it, and it's worked well enough with our other systems to enable some handy automations. I'd say if you've got a course or courses you're looking to launch and they are fairly straightforward with up-front payments, Teachable can definitely get the job done. However, if you're running more of a membership model for access to your courses, Teachable by itself may not be the ideal solution, or you may want to use a different platform for the payments and just use Teachable for the actual courses.

    Cons
    LearnDash
    • customer service is rough
    • out of the box, the platform looks absolutely awful and very hard to use
    • you have to invest in many plugins for common sense functions (increasing customer support issues)
    • I have worked with a developer for the ten years I have used LearnDash which gets expensive

    • They FALSELY ADVERTISE their services.
    • They kicked us off their "unlimited" plan b/c we were using serving too many downloads?
    • They were terribly rude, cursing at us, threatening us, deleting our forum questions.
    • They have no unlimited plan and need to be sued in a court of law for their misleadings.

    Because we haven't had any major issues with it. The platform is really simple to use and the content can be uploaded and modified very easily. It has a drag and drop feature that makes everything fast and easy. Their support has always answered our questions or concerns and the cost is affodable. We will keep using it in the future.

    It does require some knowledge of Wordpdress (which isn't difficult) but everything is well laid out Documentation is also comprehensive.

    Their support is good overal. There are a couple of things that I would change, like answering faster. Sometimes they take a day to answer a concern and that's kind of annoying considering sometimes there are urgent issues we have to deal with. But the support has been good, they have answered properly.

    I'd say: learn the system first, try it out and then publish the content with customers. There are a couple of features that will cause issues with customers (especially lazy ones) but I'd say it's easy to implement and modify if needed. People don't need to train much to use Teachable, but they should take their time to know it.

    Return on Investment
    LearnDash
    • It has allowed me to transform materials that were previously only for my students into scalable digital products, multiplying the income generated with certain resources by up to 50x.
    • I have been able to amortize the cost of the plugin with just a few sales.
    • It's allowed me to present my courses in a professional manner and on my own website. Although the impact is difficult to measure, this has also contributed to increasing my sales.
