#257: The $0 Course Platform: How to Launch Without Paying for Kajabi, Teachable, or Circle

Feeling stuck because you don't want to pay for expensive course platforms? This episode reveals how to launch your first online course for $0 using a tool you and your students already know: Facebook Groups. Learn how this simple approach can boost engagement and give you the confidence to launch without the financial pressure.

Learn how to:

• Use a private Facebook Group as a robust, free course platform with guides, video lessons, and a built-in community.
• Overcome the pressure to be perfect and use a free platform as a space to test, refine, and prove your course works.
• Explore low-cost alternatives like Google Workspace or Zoom for launching on a tight budget.

Weekly Action Item:

• Brainstorm Your First Course: If you haven’t yet, outline a simple, core-concept course you could test.
• Outline a Facebook Group: Structure your course outline using the "Guides" feature in a mock Facebook Group. Map out where you’d place videos, PDFs, and check-in posts.
• Practice Pitching: Practice explaining your course concept to a peer and how students will get a great experience even without an expensive platform.
