We saw a direct increase in revenue and profit when we took advantage of the Teachable built-in digital marketing tools like upsells, order bumps, and coupon codes. It helped us increase lifetime value of each RD exam prep student. This is important to us in a very small target audience (10,000 potential customers every year), but we have hit 7-figures.

Something that I've really come to appreciate about Teachable is just how safe the checkout page in particular makes customers, potential students feel.

One thing I've really liked about Teachable is the ability to have an affiliate program, the ability to have an unlimited amount of students. We were limited by that by our old course host. It's very organized and clean and looks very slick. You can also have a checkout with multiple payment, payment options, which also was not an option with our old course host.
