Hey there, creator!

What does it really take to run a successful online course business?

Some say it’s a matter of social engagement, others argue that their email list is the backbone of their business.

While no two paths are identical, one thing’s for sure: The best online course creators are committed to delivering a stand-out student experience.

This week, we'll break down how top course creators get (and stay) ahead.

5 strategies Speak Norsk used to grow 7 figures on Teachable

Speak Norsk is an excellent example of online courses done right—from both an impact and income perspective.

After almost shutting down in 2020, Speak Norsk founder, Huzan Raad, and managing director, Nicoleta Stratan, were forced to find a completely new way to teach.

While their competitors rushed to replicate in-person classes through Zoom calls, Speak Norsk turned to Teachable.

Within their first year, they earned over seven figures on Teachable.

Today, Speak Norsk has taught more than 14,000 students and earned over $3 million in course sales. We sat down with them to find out how. 👇

And they give us three different—but equally valid—answers.

Lauren Kay picked the platform that allows you to collect emails easily.

Abagail Pumphrey chose the fastest growing, low saturation B2B platform.

Jack Appleby is betting on the one place he doesn't have a huge audience.
