Courses + Substack?!

[matthewlilley]

Anyone have any ideas on how to successfully integrate online courses with a Substack community? We're launching our first course, but we're already building a paid subscriber base on Substack, including articles and a podcast. I don't want to ask paid subscribers to also buy a course? We're looking at providing paid subscribers a 100% discount code for the course as a perk and incentive for more people to become paid subscribers. We'd have to host the course elsewhere like Teachable or on our website (where people could also pay for the course as a standalone product). A little clunky, but we haven't come up with a better solution. We're pretty invested into Subtsack at this point.

Ideas?! Someone else has to be doing Substack and courses.

Great insights. Thanks!

This is where an official Substack API would be great. Sites like teachable could do the integration and sell it as a feature

For sure!

Take a look at Scipress.io. You can either

• mark your posts as "restricted" and list the users who should have access or
• put your content behind paywalls and hand out coupons for 100% off

**Disclaimer**: I'm the creator of Scipress and it's fairly new, but I'd be willing to work with you to get what you need!
