Episode 2947

One of the challenges of launching an online course is figuring out how to price it accessibly while still charging a good rate for yourself. Today, we’re hearing from Raj in Seattle, who’s preparing to launch his first course and is considering offering payment plans to attract more customers. He’s concerned about the risks, like cancellations or missed payments, and wants to know the best way to implement payment plans without losing money. Let’s explore strategies to make payment plans work for both you and your customers.

"Hey there, this is Raj from Seattle. I’m getting ready to launch an online course, and I’ve noticed that many creators offer payment plans to make it easier for people to enroll. I think it’s a great idea, but I’m nervous about people defaulting on payments or canceling midway. How can I set up payment plans in a way that makes my course more accessible but still protects my income? Are there specific tools or strategies you’d recommend to minimize the risks?"
