Teachable is especially great if you don’t have a website, or want someone else to host your course. It’s an extremely user-friendly tool that lets you create your course from start to finish. With course templates, sales pages, quizzes, discussion forums, and even marketing tools, Teachable does it all.
Prices start at $39/month.
Kajabi
Kajabi is a great option if you want to create an amazing-looking course quickly and easily, but don’t want to go through a marketplace like Udemy.
Probably the biggest advantage of going this route is that you can set your pricing to whatever you want, and you have the ultimate control of your site (for instance, you decide what your return policy is, whether you want to offer a sale or promotion, etc.).

ManyChat
ManyChat is a chatbot tool that lets you set up a Facebook Messenger bot in minutes, NO tech skills required. The bot will be connected to your Facebook page, meaning anyone who messages you through your page will automatically be added as a subscriber, and will receive a response that you’ve programmed in.
Set up your bot to respond to special keywords you designate, so people always receive exactly the type of message or content they need!
And one of my favorite parts of ManyChat? Set up automated sequences so you can build relationships with your subscribers over time – just like you would with your email list.
Udemy
While Udemy isn’t the best platform if you want to sell a higher-priced course (most of their courses sell for around $15), it IS a great way to get exposure through their extensive marketplace.
Offer a shorter version of your course on Udemy, and then tell students how they can access your full-length, more in-depth course.
This will give people a way to try out your stuff before they invest in the whole she-bang!
Social Mention
Staying on top of mentions of your business is key to managing your reputation online. Social Mention is a tool that lets you search the web for hashtags or keywords so you always know what’s being said about you, your business, your products….and even your competitors.
It will even tell you the “sentiment” behind those mentions – letting you know whether those mentions are largely positive, negative or neutral!
Iconosquare
Iconosquare (formerly Statigram) is an Instagram management tool that allows you to manage your conversations, customize how you view your feed, analyze which photos are resonating with your audience, optimize your photos and much more. You can use Iconosquare to promote your Instagram account outside of the platform, which is perfect for businesses that are new to Instagram but have a strong following on Facebook.
Tailwind
It’s a tool that lets you schedule your posts at the PERFECT times for optimal engagement…and even lets you set certain posts to get reposted on an ongoing basis for your Pinterest and Instagram accounts. (this is their “SmartLoop” feature).
SocialOomph
SocialOomph lets you schedule tweets, save and reuse drafts (saves you time re-typing tweets) and track your Twitter keywords. The premium version is great for finding new, targeted users to follow, and gives you access to tons of tools for managing Facebook, LinkedIn and even your blog posts. It also lets you bulk upload tweets…for those times you want to prepare your tweets offline and then simply upload them all at once!
