An LMS is a learning management system that can be a powerful tool for anyone with a passion or a skill they want to share with the world and make money from. Creators can monetize their knowledge by creating and selling digital products (online courses, PDFs, ebooks, podcasts, training videos, etc.).

An LMS designed for creators can help you turn your expertise into an online course that you can sell and earn recurring income from. Create your course once, then scale revenue by selling it repeatedly through automated checkout, enrollments, content delivery, and learner communications. You also get built-in tools to market, measure engagement, and improve your course over time.

Additionally, an LMS provides all the tools you need for scaling your online course business since it enables you to customize and optimize the learning experience.

An LMS also offers a variety of features that can help you engage and retain your students, such as interactive videos, live sessions, assessments, quizzes, and vibrant communities.

Here are the key features to look for in an LMS for creators:

• Customization options: To fit the unique needs of your business, including branding, custom reports, and integration with third-party applications.
• Ease of use: For instructors and learners, with an intuitive interface that makes it easy to manage and sell courses, track progress, and assess results.
• Ecommerce capabilities: To handle all the sales and tax aspects of your business with ease. Easily accept student payments for the online courses and the subscriptions you sell, calculate sales tax, send tax receipts, create sales tax return-ready reports, or integrate your online academy with your Shopify store to sell online courses.
• Scalability: As your business grows, your LMS should be able to scale along with it by accommodating large numbers of users and courses without compromising performance.
• Rich analytics and reporting capabilities: So you can collect various metrics—from learners’ performance to engagement—to see which course sells best or may need improvement.
• Integrated solutions: So you can have in-house all the tools you need to run and automate your business (sales, marketing, customer service, and more) without relying on external tools, saving you time and effort. You can also keep all your assets and data under one roof, giving you better reporting and 360-degree control.
• Data security: To ensure that your data is safe. Choose an LMS with robust authentication and authorization features and a solid backup and disaster recovery plan.
• 24/7 support: If you encounter any problems or if you want to expand your business, you should be able to count on the vendor’s support. Look for an LMS vendor with a proven track record of providing timely and helpful assistance.

Here are seven steps to consider when choosing the learning management system that best fits your needs as a creator:

1. Identify your business needs: LMS platforms offer a wide range of tools, features, and capabilities. To choose which features are most important to your business, you should first determine what you want to accomplish, your business goals, and objectives.
2. Identify your learners: What is the group(s) of people you’d like to skill or train? Consider the learning experience that you want to provide and how it should be tailored to each type of learner.
3. Establish the assessment criteria: Your online course should include appropriate assessments so that the learning outcomes are made clear to your learners. Knowing these criteria is key to understanding what assessment options to look for (such as quizzes, file assignments, and exams).
4. Determine your preferred learning method: Will you offer your online course as blended learning (both physical and online learning), drip-feed (deliver course materials gradually over time), or both? Does the LMS have gamification features that enhance learner engagement? Is there a built-in community where learners can interact through discussion forums, live chat communication, or peer-to-peer feedback?
5. Select an LMS that enables integrations: Look for an LMS that can support integrations with third-party tools for marketing (email, social media), video conferencing, payment gateways, webinars, ecommerce, and calendar. It will allow you to keep using the tools you already have or that you are familiar with (such as the email marketing tool you already use, rather than having to learn a new one from scratch or move all of your existing email marketing activities).
6. Choose an LMS with a mobile app builder: An impressive 85% of the time is spent on smartphones using apps, making it clear that your audience learns on the go. You should look out for LMS vendors that enable creators to launch their own mobile apps.
7. Look for branding functionality: Personal branding makes your business memorable to learners. Does the LMS allow you to customize elements such as layout, theme, and appearance? Do you need to hire a developer, or is it possible to brand your online academy without coding? LMSs that don’t require any prior coding knowledge are the easiest and quickest to use.
