Sell Online Courses and Keep 100% of Your Revenue

Teachable, Gumroad, Podia, Thinkific — every platform for selling online courses takes a cut. Teachable takes 5% on its free plan. Gumroad takes 10% (dropping with volume). Podia charges monthly fees. Kajabi charges high monthly fees.

You've built the course. You've built the audience. Why give a platform 5–10% of every sale forever?

The Platform Fee Problem for Course Creators

Here's how the math works on a $197 course selling 50 units/month ($9,850 revenue):

On $9,850/month, Vulta saves you $430–1,450/month compared to percentage-fee platforms.

What You Lose Going Platform-Free

The course platforms aren't just payment processors — they're also:

• Course hosting (video, PDFs, quizzes)
• Student progress tracking
• Drip scheduling
• Community features
• Email integrations

Vulta handles the payment part. You still need somewhere to host the course content. Options:

• Self-hosted: WordPress + LearnDash, Memberful, or similar
• No-code: Notion (for written courses), Circle (for community + content)
• Video hosting: Vimeo (pro), Loom, YouTube unlisted

The payment → access flow: client pays via Vulta → you manually or automatically grant access to your course hosting.

Practical Implementation

For simple digital products (PDF, template, guide):

1. Create payment link on Vulta with the price
2. In your payment confirmation settings, include a download link in the payment confirmation (or email it manually)
3. Customer pays → receives product

For courses:

1. Create payment link on Vulta
2. When you receive payment notification, manually add student to your course platform
3. Or use Vulta's webhook (Business plan) to automate: payment.confirmed → trigger your enrollment logic

For recurring access (subscription):

1. Use Vulta recurring payments — auto-sends a payment link monthly
2. Student pays each month → retains access
3. Missed payment → you revoke access

International Students

Course platforms restrict payments to Stripe and PayPal — which don't work everywhere. A student in Nigeria, Iran, Turkey, or Russia may not be able to pay you on Teachable at all.

With Vulta, international students can pay by crypto regardless of where they live. US and EU students pay with credit card. Same checkout, same course.

Conclusion

You don't need a course platform to sell courses. You need payment collection (Vulta), content hosting (your choice), and a way to communicate with students (email). The savings from eliminating platform fees pay for everything else many times over.
