Sell your experience with Thinkific
A super easy platform to launch your online teaching business and sell your expertise though unfamiliar with online learning experiences. Thinkific makes both affordable for entrepreneurs and enjoyable for learners as their varied tools and baffling features range from website builder and email automation to e-book creator and webinar planner; it is a world where you can easily start selling your experience, mainly due to the marketing and affiliate tools too.
Pros
A renowned platform built to deliver online courses, sell digital product and market personal expertise through webinars and conferencing facilities. Its robust features as website builder, landing pages creator and the bunch of add-ons to integrate for third party uses as blog posts, make Thinkific stand away from the crowd. Though a beginner, and in few clicks, you can customize your course, enrol students, create and sell e-books, start conferencing and many other unlimited features at low costs. Uploading data can go up to 2G, which is not found with other rivals.
Cons
Actually, so many users speak about bulk enrolment problems and some outdated features, particularly video players. honestly, I also did not like their support help and updates, everything is just general.

Terrible Experience - DO NOT USE
Absolutely terrible. They bait and switched me to take my initial month's fee. Let me launch my course, then deactivated my course without warning. Had to really look bad in front of my students and wasted a bunch of time and money. DO NOT USE!
Pros
My experience getting onboarded onto the product looked great and was easy. I am getting ready to sell a digital course and Thinkific checked all the boxes.
Setting up a course and landing page was simple enough on the free trial. Eventually, I upgraded to the paid version so that I could offer coupon codes as well.
Cons
I had everything ready to go on my course. All my content was uploaded and the landing page was set. I got ready to offer pre-sales for my course to gauge interest and check my pricing (which is a standard practice in the course world). I sent an email to my mailing list with the link to the course landing page and things started off well. A few people started to pre-order then... after an hour it just stopped.
I started getting emails from people that the link to my course was broken. I tried to login into the site and I could not. Trying to recover my password didn't work. It was as if my site had been deleted with no notice. I tried to chat with support, but was directed to an AI bot that was useless and even though I was a paying customer, the phone support refused to help me because I could not login to my account.
I had to send an email to someone which took several days to respond that apparently my account was suspended for "risk" whatever that means and that I would no longer be able to use the site. They could not explain what that meant and didn't seem to care.

A Great Place to Start (especially if you're bootstrapping)
Thinkific holds a very special place in my heart. At the time I was bootstrapping my business and the free version allowed me a launch pad.
Pros
This was the first site I used when I first started my coaching business. I was able to create landing pages for my first lead magnets with ease despite not having a clue what I was doing!
Cons
At the time, there were minimal options for designs I liked and I eventually grew out of it.
Reasons for Switching to Thinkific
As I was just starting my business at the time I found Thinkific, I was able to do so much on the free version. That, to me, speaks to the culture of a company that knows if you give first - you have a loyal, lifelong customer.- Industry: E-Learning

We Love Thinkific!
Excellent. They are very responsive to any issues and have real experts answering the support questions.
Pros
So easy to get started. Adding creator content is simple and the designing aspect is also very intuitive.
Cons
The limitations to customize the course player. There are types of lessons, but other than that you are stuck using their templates.
