How to Use Teachable to Create an Online Course

Teachable is one of our favorite platforms for publishing online courses.

It's easy to use Teachable – both for the course creator and the students themselves – and it has lots of different great features that can help make your course unique. It's also particularly great for Content Sparks content, since the structure that Teachable uses is similar to the way we break down our courses – by module and then key sections.

But learning a new platform always takes a little time… especially if you want to get the most out of it.

So, we've put together a few pointers on just how to get started with using Teachable. Take a look at these and you'll be putting your Content Sparks' courses to work in no time, or any content you want to create as a course!
