Help me validate the course idea: Buy Me a Coffee for Makers & Indie Hackers

Hello there,

When I decided to join the indie maker community, I expected the process to be straightforward. However, reality turned out to be more complicated than my initial expectations.

After discovering marketplaces where makers can sell their products, I found they only support a limited set of payment options. The most common options, Stripe and PayPal, are only available in select countries. While the list of supported countries is sizable, it excludes many talented makers who live in other countries from being able to participate.

Fortunately, some solutions and workarounds exist. Payoneer supports more countries than Stripe or PayPal, though it is not accepted by most marketplaces. However, certain marketplaces, like Buy Me a Coffee, do support Payoneer.

Buy Me a Coffee was originally created as a platform for collecting donations for creators. However, it seems to be evolving into a broader platform for supporting individual makers and builders. Given this, I decided to create a free course about how to use Buy Me a Coffee's platform. In this course, I will explore the tools and options available for selling digital products. This includes a detailed tutorial on how to set them up.

Before investing significant time into course development, I wanted to gauge interest in this topic. Therefore, I created a pre-order page where people can claim the course (no payment required, but allowed) to measure interest.
