Overall Satisfaction with Podia

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am a course creator and I use Podia to host and sell my courses as it's really a buisness in a bic and especially now with its email updates potentially the only tool you would need. It provides the website, the emails, the email capture, the course hosting/video hosting, certificates, the course portal, the sales pages and sales processes, coupons, and affiliate system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Emails
Course hosting
Website creation
Website chat

Cons

More advanced tagging system for emails
Improved upsell and downsells
Improved affiliate portal
Website and email capture further editing
It doesn't have a real blog function

Return on Investment

It was the 1st system I used to launch my buisness and we did 100k within 2 yrs

Usability

It has a great user interface, it's fast to edit and create courses, to edit and create emails, to find chats, to develop the website. Support has been friendly and I haven't found anything that hasn't worked. It also has basically all the tools you need outside if a complete blog platform.

Alternatives Considered

Kajabi

It has all the same features of Kajabi such as the website builder, email system, affiliate system, and course hosting . I believe they both now do quizzes and certificates too. Kajabi gets points for having a podcasting platform, a more full fledge community platform although Podia does have this too, but the biggest point is having a real blogging system. Podia gets a point for having an included chat bot you can use for customers.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are not techy want to create a course creation type of business then I think its really great. I have used a lot of programs and only a few are complete and Podia is there except for a full fledge blogging platform (you can do a version but it's not quite the same). It's probably the most user friendly email system I have used and the website builder is very user friendly as well. I think if you are a serious blogger and wanting seo traffic to drive to your site, this one thing to watch and consider not as competitive then vs Kajabi.
