Finally, after working on OptimizePress, my team and I made ShoutUniversity live. The system was looking pretty dashing and everything was working great.
However, one of our lead guys (@Sharatnik) had to spend countless days of work to change simple things. Personally, I was in charge of content, and adding content on OptimizePress was a challenge.
After using it for a month, we realized that OptimizePress is more for internet marketers rather than for a dynamic and evolving coaching program.
In fact, we were researching the whole thing all wrong; instead of looking for a membership-creation platform, we should have looked for a learning management system that let us build a membership site.
Well, we used OptimizePress for 8 months, and after understanding b2b email list faq that the platform was not suitable for constantly updating content (and was not even that great for our course students), we decided to move on to another platform.
The Hunt For The Best LMS Membership Platforms
When you are launching a global membership site, you should really do your homework.
For us, it was a big learning curve. We now had to:
Find a new LMS (membership builder platform).
Move the content to the new LMS.
Build landing pages again.
Restructure everything.
Migrate existing students (100+) to the new platform.
Well, this time we made a few things clear in terms of our expectations. Here were the things we wanted:
A platform which was easy to use.
A platform which made learning easy. EX: Showed progress, course completion, certifications, etc.
Something affordable.
The ability to sell courses individually or as a bundle.
