This episode pairs well with "Freedom of Life EP6: The Freedom to Earn"

If you're also an online course instructor looking to have your own course platform, I recommend you check this out!

I first learned about Teachify Course Launcher (https://kaik.app/zh/) because I was recently struggling with whether to build an official website for my brand and which types of websites to set up. I consulted with over 10 vendors, which left me dizzy.

One of those vendors was Teachify, and I want to thank Fresh Times Tuna for the recommendation. I observed several friends also using Teachify, and the website integrates well with WP, so I reached out to their sales team. My account manager is adorable—her name is Pam. Our call was very detailed, and then I considered for a long time whether to try it. On June 21st, I opened my Pandora's box.

Course launch completed within 1 hour (payment gateway + e-invoice), actual revenue generated, and over 50 orders sold in 3 hours. Pam said: "You're the first person for Teachify!"

However, the caveat is that I had already activated Newebpay and invoicing beforehand, so when integrating EZPAY, there was zero waiting time—I just copied and pasted the API keys. Of course, this process was thanks to Pam sending me the processing workflow in real-time.

We kept exclaiming: Oh my God, this is too fast!!!!

So what course did I actually launch!? And how fast is Teachify really?

First, I have to praise the backend—the UI and functionality are extremely convenient. After applying and activating your account, you have all the features you want!

First, the frontend issue I care most about: can it integrate with my official website?

Absolutely yes!!

Let me compare my current official site with Teachify's appearance:

Image 1: Karen's Official Website (pink theme, standard logo)

Image 2: Frontend allows customization of brand color and logo

Image 3: Course page: buttons and content all feature the pink brand color

Image 4: Member login interface with standard logo and brand color

From these four images, you basically can't tell these are two different websites. To achieve this, you just need to add a logo and color scheme in the Teachify backend!! (So smart)

Second, the order backend that teachers care about—extremely visual, showing you payment status, payment method, transaction ID, and member information. These can be exported to Excel or CSV for excellent follow-up marketing.

Third, a highly visual course management menu.

Chapter management and unit creation are very intuitive. When uploading files internally, there are many format options, so besides video files, you can also upload supplementary materials! And only purchasers can view these. However, you can also set courses as free or distribute discount codes.

So what exactly did I sell that kept getting orders?

That's what this episode's audio "The Freedom to Earn" discusses—how actively you develop products.

Because I took an inspiring course recently, I realized I have many writing frameworks I could share with others. Of course, intellectual property has inherent value, but non-professionals might not clearly understand how to use them.

So I launched my first product: the "Book Summary Framework Table" from the book excerpt live course I previously offered. Students who completed it praised the framework extensively, so I quickly designed it with Canva, optimized the table, and recorded a five-minute usage guide on my iPhone, then officially sold it.

  3. Detailed Planning Table for 100-Person Events: Master Event Logistics with One Table

Of course, after launching, I boldly promoted it on my fan page!! I was also fortunately shared by Teacher Ouyang Lizhong!! You could say the teacher's influence is so strong that one share and it explodes!!

Takeaway:

Teachify lives up to its name—"Course Launcher"!! Just from testing the backend, you can tell they truly understand what instructors need. All the beginner features and analytics you'd want are already there; you won't need to wait for the development team because they move fast!!

Best of all, I've wanted my WP website to have a member shopping cart for a long time, but worried the system integration wouldn't be smooth enough, so even with the feature for a year and a half, I hadn't actively launched courses. But today I broke through that barrier. I especially want to thank account manager Pam for constantly encouraging me, saying "you're our first Karen," "you're the first to set up in one hour!" "you're the first to have revenue on day one!" Under such enthusiastic encouragement, I'm probably also the first user to write a review on day one hahahaha!

Because I can now offer my own courses, I've gained much freedom—no need to worry about sales performance being good or bad! (That's been my biggest pressure point.) I'm also very grateful for Teachify's excellent service!!
