Teachable Course Creation Features

First, let’s take a look at the types of learning products you can create on Teachable:

Course Builder: This is Teachable’s key feature, and it allows you to create lessons and modules for your courses. Additionally, you can add video, images, text, audio files, PDFs, documents, and custom code to bring your lessons to life.
Course Quizzes: To help cement learning for your students, the platform has a quiz creation feature. Also, it recently introduced an AI-powered question generator to help you more efficiently build quizzes.
Course Completion Certificates: To promote a sense of achievement, you can provide course completion certificates to your students.
Coaching: Create a sales page and intake forms for your coaching services and connect with third-party scheduling and live-streaming tools to run your sessions.
Digital Downloads: Create a sales page and sell digital download products.

Teachable Sales and Marketing Features

Teachable is notably lacking when it comes to marketing features and doesn’t really provide anything to help you promote your products externally. Here’s what you do get:

Web Page Builder: Teachable does not have a standalone website builder. Instead, you can create sales pages that are directly attached to the learning product you are selling.
Teachable:Pay: This is Teachable’s native payment processor and removes the requirement to use third parties such as Stripe or Paypal (though you can use these too).
Automatic Tax Handling: The platform automatically calculates sales taxes making selling globally a whole lot simpler.
Coupon Codes, Order Bumps, and Upsells: Provide incentives for customers and students to spend more by adding these to your sales pages.
Integrated Email Marketing: Unfortunately, the platform lacks external emailing capabilities. You can, however, email your existing students with promotions and offers.
