Choose a course hosting platform
You can create your eLearning website in two ways.
One way is to do it all by yourself. Like, if you are from a non-technical background, you would need to hire a website developer who would help you to create your eLearning website. You will also need to purchase a domain name and hosting services. Plus you would be the one who will take care of all the technical issues.
Apart from this, you will also have to depend on multiple third-party tools to get your day-to-day tasks done. And honestly, this could have a toll on your pocket.
Another way is to choose an online course platform like Graphy. We will help you in creating your online course website. If you decide to host your online courses on Graphy, you will get enough time to focus on what is more important ie, creating your online course.

Upload your course content and launch your eLearning website
After choosing the online course hosting platform, you can take a deep dive into the creation phase. Start creating your online course content. If you are a newbie, you should see what your competitors are doing.
Learn from them and create your unique content. Honestly, during your initial days, you might feel overwhelmed while recording your content. Because talking in front of people and talking in front of the camera are two different things. But, understand that you are just starting out, be patient with yourself because with time you will get there.
Once you are done with recording and creating your course content, upload it on your eLearning website. Before making your online course available to your audience, share its link with your family members and friends. Ask them to give their feedback and suggestions. If you think their suggestions can make a difference, incorporate them.
And once you feel ready to launch your eLearning website, launch it with a bang!
We would recommend you to focus more on organic marketing instead of paid marketing as it will help you to earn long-term profits with very less expenses. However, to create brand awareness and a buzz around your brand, you can leverage paid marketing like Facebook ads, Instagram ads, YouTube ads, etc.
