interesting newsletter as always! Just fyi, I get about half my income from my teachable school, maybe 10% from my gumroad shop, and the rest is book sales. I use gumroad mostly for distributing pdfs that are pay-what-you-want, and for crowdfunding the production costs of my books (I do a limited pre-order of hardbacks at a chunky £50 each for super-fans to support the work).
I wouldn’t touch Udemy or Kajabi because if I understand them correctly, they keep your student data, contact details, etc. Teachable integrates perfectly with Convertkit, and you own everything. Gumroad also integrates perfectly with Convertkit too- it’s really helpful being able to tag everyone who buys anything, so you can target marketing offerings to people’s established interests.
This is fantastic, thanks Iain. I'm going to share this on my newsletter today, hope that's cool x

Anyhoo, back to work!
