When starting a website, you need to decide and know your foundations. Start asking questions like:\n\n \tIs the content I am creating in demand, useful, and purposeful?\n \tWill this content solve a real-life problem?\n \tWill I earn money from creating this content?\n\nDoes the type of platform in hosting a course matter?\nIf you intend to build a real business, it is best to build that on Wordpress. Wordpress is easy and intuitive to use. Managing content compared to other SAS Platforms is easier and simpler. It is also extremely customizable. On the otherhand, other SAS Platforms that you subscribe monthly are also great to use and they tend to market themselves as the "easy solution" but in reality they are much more complicated and complex than the Wordpress. You are spending much more money on these platforms but functionalities and features are very limited depending on your package, and it's not easy to migrate out from these systems.\nCan you share great functions, plug-ins, features of Wordpress that are not present on other platforms?\nThere are two areas where Wordpress excels: First, the development of page builders such as Gutenberg, Elementor, and Beaver Builder with drag and drop feature.\nSecond, Learning management system which gives you a lot of new features like having badges, take quizzes, tracking student's progress etc.\nWhat is Learning Manage System (LMS) and what are the fun things you can do with it?\nLMS increases the features and functions of a simple course. It helps you to generate good income. You can download extra materials like pdfs, quizzes, games, certificates, badges, etc.\nWhat are the considerations when you decide to build a course using Wordpress?\nDo not buy cheap hosting mobile for your initial hosting package. Buying from hosting provider like blue host for $3 a month will not help you start-up your business on building content on wordpress. It will give you a terrible experience. Initially, you need to invest on choosing your hosting mobile and look into getting those around $20, $30, $35 for your initial hosting package on your membership site.
