Build & Sell Online Courses with WordPress (Using Free Plugins) LearnPress & Elementor

You'll learn how to build, and sell an online course with WordPress, using only free plugins! With this step by step tutorial, the only thing you'll need to get started is some good web hosting. We recommend using SiteGround, you'll get a big discount when you first sign up here ➡ https://ideaspot.com.au/siteground-70 (70% off) 👋UPDATE👋 in 2021 I'd recommend using TutorLMS rather than learn dash - I have a setup tutorial here: https://youtu.be/p9mpXH0N620 TutorLMS has a much better signup and payment process using WooCommerce! It's also free too! The CSS we used & other tips in our blog post here: https://ideaspot.com.au/blog/learnpress-tutorial/ We will be using the free versions of LearnPress & Elementor, along with an Astra starter site template to build the online course. One of the best features of the LearnPress free version is that it includes a PayPal payment gateway that is easy to setup. This should give good results for beginners. We also make a customized login page using 'Login with Ajax'. Later in the course building tutorial, we show a few methods of adding videos to your courses (free methods and pro methods). This is a complete step by step guide to build an online course.
