Email course/series platform

Just been looking around the internet and a lot of the pro-bloggers are offering an email course. Mostly as a precursor to a book or course sale.

They are probably using MailChimp/Converkit etc based email platforms for creating and managing the series.

Do you think there will be a market for a service based solely on helping deliver email courses. Features will be email list management, landing page, payments, quizzes, workbooks to fill etc.

    Perhaps. I have a free email course (sensitivityreviews.com) that people sign up for. After 7 days, they can decide if the business is for them. If so, the paid courses are hosted through LifterLMS plugin. LifterLMS has everything needed for courses.

    I use Mailerlite which is an email program. They have a free version. They have landing pages, drip campaigns, tags, etc.

    Combining the two would be a monumental task, but very interesting.

      Would you say that the process of setting up Mailerlite was easy enough for anyone for start a drip campaign?
      Just trying to understand if all these tools are can be used by 'anyone'

      Have you used workbooks and the like for people to take notes online? Would that even be valuable?Like https://ofcoursebooks.com/

      I agree combining a LMS to Email would be a big ask but maybe we can just 'connect' the LMS to the email series.

        The mailerlite setup is pretty straight forward. If you get stuck, their tech support always responds in 24 hours or less. They also have posts on how to do many of the things.

        Never heard of taking notes online. I've created a high-end workbook through canva.com and offer it as a pdf for my last course project. But I'll take a look at your suggestion.

        UPDATE: Looked at ofcoursebooks and I'm passing. Nothing warranting another monthly fee.
