All of the ideas are great. I liked best what to include in the strategic follow-up emails.

What is the best way to use Zippy Courses with multiple courses? For example, I assume that you would likely benefit from creating a website specifically for your courses as this is what most industry leaders do with their courses, but how does Zippy Courses deal with creating multiple courses? Is it a matter of creating a new website for each course, or is there a seamless flow between several courses on the same website? Thank you

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people may find the plugin out of the box perfect for their taste. Is impossible to please every single person’s taste.
I don’t find the plugin to be clunky like you say, but in my case ( just like in yours ), obviously I wanted to make some visual changes in the front end and by using the WP customizer you can easily achieve quite a lot by just clicking on things, no code required. Now if you want something really specific design wise, you may want to get your hands on the CSS code.
I guess they don’t have videos for that like you mentioned because that is more like ‘how to use WordPress’ type of knowledge an that is out of their scope. There is plenty of information on how to use WP out there.
The goal Derek and his team have is obviously to give you a very clean front end and a plugin that in the back end makes life easier for you developing your courses. Its like a new house, the topping on the cake is our job, not theirs.
All the best.

I. good content. I brought the plugin Zippy Courses 18 months ago and found it very clunky and not good looking at all. How is the new version different? I wanted a good looking template that I could put my courses on easily and could not work out how to do it. It would have been good to have ‘how to’ videos so that they looked decent. I ended up giving up!

I asked the same question. I still am very curious!

In the enhanced zippy course being offered, can a countdown clock (similar to yours) be added to the upper left hand side of the landing page? I find this incredibly useful in encouraging me to sign up on time.

Good question, anybody knows the answer? I have students on subscription based courses and I see Stripe and PayPal being blocked all of a sudden by Credit Card companies.
How is this handled?

How can you make sure that your clients pay you under the payment plan option and don’t just cancel that credit card or something?

These tips were really great. Hard to say which was the best since I’m only planning my courses but I definitely enjoyed the Tier tip and Time limited enrollment. Thanks again!

This has been an extremely interesting – and helpful – article on tips to read, and I find it very difficult indeed to choose just one tip. However, as I have to choose one, it has to be the payment plan. I had always thought I needed the entire payment upfront as a prerequisite to commence the course, but of course I don’t. By offering a staged payment plan, I end up with the full cost anyway, later rather than sooner, but that’s OK. Just to say thanks for ALL the tips!
