SYS 124: Saying Goodbye to WordPress LMS after 6 Years and Embracing a New Platform: Our Journey and Lessons Learned

🎙 Many entrepreneurs struggle with the decision to use WordPress LMS (Learning Management System) or choose a standalone system. Steve details his decision and experiences so you can make a more informed choice if needed. KEY TAKEAWAYS  💡 Learning Management System (LMS) allow you to create and run online courses and consolidate all client-facing content. There are many available to choose from, ranging from complex and technical to simple and limited.   💡 Cost is a factor, and WordPress with a Learning Management System (LMS) plugin can be a cheaper offering, but costs increase with loss of time in learning operations or employing an expert for upkeep.  💡 After looking into all WordPress options, Steve chose LearnWorlds for its ability to add payment gateways and multiple licensing options.  💡 LearnWorlds does not yet incorporate automation marketing options but is a solid, integrated and accessible Learning Management System (LMS). Other apps and platforms that include Marketing options can become clunky and complex.  💡 Anyone in your company can set up LearnWorlds quickly and easily. 💡 When choosing a Learning Management System (LMS), consider all your options to ensure the platform meets all your needs.  BEST MOMENTS 1:10 - 💬 ‘There’s probably nothing bigger in a coach’s life than having to make one of two decisions. One is “Which marketing CRM should I use?” and the second is “Which platform should I use to launch and run my courses on?”.’  4:40 - 💬 ‘The nail in the coffin was that the WordPress we were using stopped being supported. So we were forced to move the entire 360 pages of content onto a new platform, and it was at that moment I decided to look into this in a huge amount of detail.’  8:10 - 💬 ‘They (LearnWorlds) focus all of their efforts on creating a solid feature-rich and very flexible Learning Management System geared for you supporting your coaching clients effectively.’  11:18 - 💬 ‘If you’re going to go for a WordPress solution, whether for a website or a Learning Management System, do your research.’ 13:35 - 💬 ‘You as a business owner should not be getting into app development and becoming an expert in WordPress.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: www.SystemizeYourSuccess.com Facebook Group: Facebook.com/groups/systemsandoutsourcing/ LinkedIn: LinkedIn.com/company/systemsandoutsourcing/ Instagram: Instagram.com/systems_and_outsourcing/ YouTube: YouTube.com/@drsteveday42 ABOUT THE HOSTSteve was a slave to his business, but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change how he worked.
