📘 Course Description

How to Build a Profitable Online Course Website with WordPress
A step-by-step system to launch and own your course platform for under $500/year


You have a talent, skill, or area of expertise — and you’re ready to share it by teaching online.

Maybe you’ve already tried publishing your course on platforms like Teachable, Thinkific, or Podia, only to find yourself frustrated. These platforms promise ease and exposure, but the reality often looks like this:

  • You spend hours building your course


  • You're required to use their pricing models and discount structures


  • And after promotional pricing and platform fees, you earn just a few dollars per sale — while building their business, not yours.


This course solves that problem.

In this course, you’ll learn how to build your own profitable online course website using WordPress.
You’ll follow a system I’ve tested and refined — one that simplifies the process, reduces the learning curve, and keeps your total annual cost under $500.

This system gives you:

  • 💰 Full control over your pricing and profits

  • 🧭 Freedom to create, sell, and scale on your terms

  • đŸš« No reliance on 3rd-party platforms or monthly software fees

  • 📣 The ability to run ads and promote your own work without losing traffic to competitors

  • 🌐 A professional home for your business — a place to send anyone who wants to learn from you


What You’ll Learn

You’ll build a site that can:

  • Sell online courses as one-time offers or as part of a membership

  • Sell other digital products like books, PDFs, and coaching packages

  • Run efficiently with tools like WP Courseware, WooCommerce, and WordPress — no code required

  • Be owned and controlled by you, start to finish


Who This Course Is For

  • Beginners with no web experience who want a clear, structured approach

  • Course creators tired of giving away revenue to hosted platforms

  • Educators, coaches, and experts ready to take ownership of their content and their income

  • DIY-minded entrepreneurs looking for a sustainable, scalable teaching platform


By the end of this course, you’ll have a fully functional, student-ready course website — one you own, one that works, and one you can confidently grow from here.
