I'm Melissa Guller - former producer & marketing director @ Teachable, Ramit Sethi, General Assembly - and at Wit & Wire, I share simple marketing strategies & tech tutorials about course creation, online business, email marketing, and solopreneurship, including case studies about the balanced approach I've used to turn Wit & Wire into a 6-figure online course business.
I also offer full-length programs for business owners who are ready to dive deeper, take action, and make a bigger impact & income online.
Thanks Melissa ! Which software is an affordable and optimal solution to run bilingual newsletters and is beginner-friendly too please ? It would be ideal if it filtered sign-ups per language and route them into separate lists (to assess the demand for events & digital products in respective languages) AND if built-in AI could handle the translation of the newsletter content, ideally including any infographics - am I asking too much here or is someone already on it ?? I know Wordpress offers something of the sort but I am not using WP. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate!
Good question! But unfortunately, this technical question is a bit more in-depth than we can answer well via RU-vid. Melissa does provide this level of support and help via Wit & Wire’s programs, but there’s no pressure to join. (You can learn more via witandwire.com/courses.) Team Wit & Wire
Great video, helps alot to choose. Your spreadsheet information on Airtable is even better, quick question though: On Airtable you wrote that Podia has quizzes (multiple choice) and in this video you said they dont. Could you tell me whats true? That would be so nice since for me quizzes are a deal-breaker and on their website they dont mention any quizzes :) Viele Grüße, Chris
I've created a job posting site through Softr that is connected to air table. How do I automatically send a new job posting(it is inputted on Airtable) to my subscribers on mailerlite?
Good question! But it would really depend how indepth you go with the editing process and how long the actual video is. So it's kind of difficult to say, but likely a minimum of 30 minutes. Team Wit & Wire
One important question you didn't address is cost ... I downloaded loom and was watching another video of yours on it but for the monthly plan, do you have to commit to a year or can you just go month by month? description seems to be more of a montlhly plan, do you know if you can just go monthly on loom and cancel anytime?
Good question! If you need more than the starter plan (which is up to 25, 5 minute videos for free), then you can upgrade to another plan and yes, you can pay for these plans monthly. You can view the plans here: support.loom.com/hc/en-us/articles/9700191295261-Plans-available Team Wit & Wire.
I like thinkific....so you have to watch out for some of these platforms bc they work with 3rd partys companies that give out discounts to your course that you dont wat to give out discounts.
Very clear explanations in all your videos. The bit that gets me is using email marketing and connecting up Teachable to my website. Another video on using your favourite email marketing platform would be useful and how to use the data bases. I just can't get my head around the parts, that's why Kajabi sometimes seems like a better option for 'dummies' or people who don't have the mental capacity to use multiple platforms!!
You can view Melissa's video on 5 Best marketing platforms here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hCHGSuPNbpk.html And yes, we agree that Kajabi is a great all-in-one- option. Hope that helps! Team Wit & Wire
Hey excellent video! You are a legend.😍 I have a quick question. I have already built my landing page on Carrd. Do I need to make a landing page on MailerLite also? Is that mandatory?
Thank you for this video! I’ve been with ActiveCampaign for years & received an email that they are changing my plan to a plan that’s $200 more, so I’m searching for a new email marketing platform.
Great question. I know Skool is becoming popular, but my biggest issue is the fact that you can only have one community, even if you have 2+ courses. So I find it harder to use and recommend, since I know many business owners run 2+ offers that need different access levels. I talk about it more in this tutorial here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0CLtLGsUgAI.html
I just found your channel & I love it. I fond of teaching what I know online but I am scared to start. I like what you said in one of your video "you don't need to be perfect". I guessed I had been over thinking 😢
I don't fully understand your question, but if you're looking for a platform to host video courses, then I recommend downloading our Online Course Creation Toolkit for a comparison of top platforms: witandwire.com/download-course-creation-toolkit/ Team Wit & Wire
I created a landing page to collect emails, but the emails aren't being saved to the group I set up. I've gotten emails of people filling them out. What would cause this
I'm not sure I fully understand your question. Students submit assignments via the course dashboard and then admin can view and grade submissions. Admin can direct message students as well. Team Wit & Wire
@@witandwire sorry that was really unclear 🫣. I meant : in a classic online course platform the owner of one course can see a page with all the courses available to him from that same creator on the site and can then buy additional courses from within the course site. Can you do that in circle. In some plateforme you can even advertise for other course within the lesson (this is what I meant by crossel). Sorry I m not a native speaker
I believe the answer is no, there isn’t a cross-sell feature as you’re describing. But if you’d like a more specific answer, I’d recommend reaching out to Circle’s support team.
Very interesting. Did you test the online course features of samcart ? I d like to know about it. No mention of newzenler too it's a good contender in my opinion.
Great question. I haven’t tested either tool recently, so I can’t speak to them in depth. But I’d be curious to hear if anyone else has personal experience.
Hi there, I am trying to find where you talked about Mailchimp on this video. Can you help me locate it? I am wanting to know what you think of this platform. Thank you
Thank you for your videos but you speak so fast that I continuously have to listen to what you say twice and sometimes three times, enough to take time to give feedback.
I've watched many reviews on Kajabi and other all-in-one platforms. I am very surprised that no one mentions the cap on the number of products and funnels as a downfall with Kajabi.
I agree that it’s definitely a consideration. I didn’t include too many details on pricing and tiers since I know they’re subject to change and I didn’t want to include info that might become outdated. But I completely agree that it’s a factor.
Thanks for the excellent video! The thing I don't understand about Circle is (a) is everything tucked under a single paywall, or (b) can I paywall off specific offers? For example (made up) Let's pretend I launch a paid "Amatuer Filmmakers" paid community for $50 per month. What this entitles people to is all of my pop-up workshops, handled as events, and community support. But lets pretend I want to offer a 6 month "From Script To Shoot" space for very advanced filmmakers, $650 a month. Can I do that? I have no problem with the VIP 6 month (in the pretend example) having access to everything, by the the $650 month needs to only be accessible to those participants. Is that possible? I saw your paywall section, but was unclear, using my VIP example, if the option to only collect 6 monthly payments exists (again, per the pretend example). Your time is greatly appreciated!
Good question! I recommend taking a look at Circle's support area, starting with this article on paywalls: help.circle.so/p/payments/paywall-setup/paywalls-overviews Team Wit & Wire
Hello wit & wire. Thanks so much for all the videos. Super helpful and I liked them all. :) If you happen to see this, my only last question is between systeme and HeightsPlatform. Using the free account on Systeme versus we have a pro account with Heights. Is it a no brainer to use the pro Heights instead of the Systeme? I care about the UX and what has the most options for building out the course and automation. Thanks for any pro advice. :)
Thanks for a great video. Very helpful. I've got a question about Thinkific. I've got a course created with Rise 360 and I want to put it on Thinkific. Do you (or anyone else in this comment section) know if interactive elements created with Rise 360 (like hotspots on images) will transfer to Thinkific and still work in Thinkific?
Great question. This help article seems to explain that it’s no longer compatible: support.thinkific.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030374034-Import-Adobe-Captivate-Articulate-Storyline-and-Other-Multimedia-Content-to-Your-Course
Great information. Thank you. Is there an option to link another domain into Systeme, like to Canva? Or can you upload the website design already created in Canva into Systeme? Would that be under domain?
