Just what I was looking for!
I have tried several products on App Sumo but haven't liked most of them. I wasn't sure what I was looking for exactly. Something to help me turn my business into a way to passively sell content, and actively offer coaching sessions. Most of the sites I used were just overly complicated. I needed something simple. So when I started using Forento, it was mostly what I wanted.
The platform allows you to use your own videos and you can upload them or use the link. Some people might want an all inclusivie way to create videos, but I didn't care that much for that because I already have content that I created and edited myself using a video editing tool. It's very easy to upload your own videos, PDF's, and other content and offer to your audience. I wasn't sure what the difference between Text, Input, and Custom options were - honestly, I'm still confused. I tend to stick with whatever is easy, so I only use Text or Video for my courses. Setting up modules is very easy and Forento has a ton of tutorials which I still have to dig into and use.
The team at Forento is very responsive. I had a simple question, but they answered it within 24 hours (probably sooner than that!). I like the option to preview my content as well. Accepting payments is done solely through Stripe which is fine by me, but if that's an issue, I'm not sure if they will be adding more in the future. I bought 3 codes, so that limits what I get. No memberships, bundles, community, or website. I'm not sure if I'll need those in the future so I'm contemplating adding more codes.
Overall, this is a fantastic product and I'm so glad I'm finally able to create and publish my courses, products, and services. FYI, the getting started dashboard is great! Love seeing what else I can do that I wasn't aware of.
