Coach
4.0

Shawn B.: Hey, my name is Shawn. I'm a professional life coach. I give think Thinkific a 4 out of 5. If you want to see more reviews like this, click below. Before Thinkific, I was using YouTube and Google Drive and all these places I could host videos. But the problem there is that it wasn't all together in a course setting. It was just sporadic and scattered and links here and links there. Nothing was in one area for a entire course to be built. I got into Thinkific because they offer a really great free plan, and it was a place where I wanted to gather all my coaching videos into one course. And I found it really easy to use, the settings, the colors. All the bringing it together was straightforward. I've had people purchase that. And the fact that I was able to be on a free plan for a long time was really appealing. And I'm actually still on the free plan. I haven't even needed to upgrade. That's how impressed I have been with Thinkific. Getting started with Thinkific was really easy. The way they have the Course Builder, you can have two different modes to see it being built. I just found it so simple to upload the videos, insert some text, have some links to outbound websites and whatnot. Implementing it in our business was really simple, put links on our website, on our social media. And ultimately, it actually was easier than I expected and produced better results than I expected for a free plan. And it being so quick. If you're thinking about getting Thinkific, I would say give it a go. They have an awesome free plan. It's a place where you can build a course, get yourself started without investing a bunch of money. I would say that I am a big fan of Thinkific simply because they offer such a high product for free. And then if you want to upgrade, have discounts or coupons, you can do that. But I think it's awesome product, and I would highly recommend it to anybody who wants to build their course and get themselves started right.
