Best TOOLS AND SOFTWARE to make an online course (2021 recommendations)

Love my Blue Yeti mic! Definitely recommend! Ugh I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten to TURN ON the mic. Finally got the Rode VideoMicro so I wouldn’t have to deal with turning on/off 😅 What mic did you use for this video? Sounds amazing. Also, are you using a teleprompter? I’ve been thinking about one but I feel like it’ll make me sound like a robot. You don’t sound like a robot so good job. I’ll throw in my two cents and say that I love my Canon M50! 📹 I use it for my tutorials, my online courses, and my vlogs. I used ScreenFlow for my first course, really liked it. Now I just QuickTime! For editing, I use Final Cut Pro but I used iMovie for my first 350 videos. Happy you recommend Canva, a MUST for all content creators. Thanks for the vid! Finally signed up for Podia yesterday.. EXCITED TO BUILD MY EPIC ONLINE SCHOOL YEAH! 🙌🏼

Hi! I really like your video and I was wondering which software did you use for the effects and the backdrop? I am new to video editing and think the layout of this video can be my prototype. Thank you!

Good content bro

Thank you :)

Thank you so much. This video was extremely helpful!

How do I create a new background when I am recording in my studio? Choose for example a new colour or a picture of a golf course, I am moving doing recording swinging a club or showing exercises, zoom background is only good if you are still. Thank you

I hope a milli Is made thru this app it'd be authentic

what apps/mic etc.. are used for making this video?

BRAVO SIR, VERY WELL EXPLANED....

GetTeachr is the best software for online courses.

Great Video!

Hi Ben
How do you see the ppt mirror tool that coverts and inverts PowerPoint text for iPad/ Smartphone to be used in a teleprompter? for recording online course videos and the ppt text will be displayed as slides in a prompter, helps me not to memorize the script by simply using my existing slides and the App doesn't force to read word for word.

Thank you for this info. I been searching 2 days for a video that would get straight to the point of the things I need to start online training courses. This was so helpful! I will be a checking out the Podia website!

Good video, but really too bad you did mention PC users without helping those running Linux.

Thanks for all that info! Could you update this to a year and a half later?

I've been checking out several videos and just wanted to say thank you so much, they are fun and engaging to watch and i'm learning a ton from the content! I'm new to video editing and course creation and i'll be coming back often to learn so again thank you.

Yes to lighting help. Especially in a small room with a wall behind.... or shooting at night!!!

Hello Ben, thank you for the valuable information. I want to start creating tutorial videos, and my resources for the starting phase are a DSLR Canon 750D, 24mm f/2.8 lens and two lav mics. I am also using Davinci resolve as my editing platform (with fairlight for sound editing). I am thinking if the Zoom H1N recorder would be a good budget sound solution to record voice with my lav mics or dslr and sync them with my videos?

hello podia , what is the software you use to create this video.thank u

"Hi everyone, please could you help me? I am planning on creating an online course on (how to Create an online course for beginners . and I'm just in my research phase. I was wondering, if you were to take a course in this field/topic, what questions would you hope it would answer for you? Thank you so much for helping me!"

Very useful information and recommendations on equipment choices on course content or content creation. Thank you for creating this video!

hii, I'm about to select a laptop for this purpose, how powerful should it be? I was told same ones that are good for video games? how true is that? how about.. a Mac book will it be best ?

Hello Podia. plz let me know which software are using in this video for pop uping text with a voice like this.

This was above amazing and just what I was looking for however, are their recommendations for middle budget? You have low and high but I’m in the middle. Any resources for someone like me?

how to something else take place of OBS in the free category. Sad lyf 😅

How did you get the James Janari - 87 Degrees Instrumental version????? I want it toooo plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I signed up for another sell-your-course-online company AND I subscribed to their all-in-one platform. I am so frustrated, it is so difficult to figure out! I keep thinking that there is something wrong with me because I am having such a difficult time with the software/app and their training videos are not great... then I saw this! 

OMG, this makes so much more sense to me. Thank you for not making me feel like a useless noob! Needless to say, I will be transferring all my stuff over from them to Podia soon (and will likely be inundating you with a ton of questions as I get started) ;) 

Again... Thank you so much for making it easy!
