Get Popup Maker Now Chris Badgett explains the main distinctions between cohort-based and self-paced online courses in this LMScast episode, assisting course designers in selecting the approach that best suits their objectives. According to him, self-paced courses are very scalable and manageable since they let students learn on their own, at their own pace, and at any time. These courses may produce everlasting revenue with minimal expense, and they are particularly effective for information-rich content and big, diversified audiences. The drawback of self-paced courses is that they frequently have lower completion rates, worse responsibility, less community involvement, and lower perceived value, which typically translates into cheaper costs and fewer student changes. Chris compares this to cohort-based courses, in which students progress through the course on a same schedule. Better learning results, more engagement, a deeper sense of community, and inherent accountability are all produced by this system. Cohorts frequently feature peer interaction, group coaching, and live training, which greatly raises the perceived value and enables producers to charge higher costs. 2025 WordPress LMS Buyer’s Guide Exclusive Download!

Enjoy the show. ​Hello, and welcome back to another episode of LMS Cast. I’m Chris Badgett doing a solo episode here, and today we’re gonna get into cohort based online courses versus self-paced online courses. How to decide which one is the right one for you. I’ve got a surprise for you in this episode. There is a hybrid version, which we’ll get into too, which I’m a big fan o of. First, let’s start with a self-based course. Like what does that mean? So, a self-paced course is like the courses that you see on websites like you did Me or Masterclass. They often contain a series of valuable. Video lessons, maybe some quizzes, maybe some worksheets, but it’s self-paced. There’s really, uh, not much teacher interaction, probably none at all. This is why you have some of the best instructors or subject matter experts in the world on a platform like masterclass. They create a wonderful course with awesome ideas and content and stories. But you can’t interact with them at all. And that’s why Masterclass costs $20 a month, basically. Similar, same is similar with Udemi. It’s mostly just self-paced. Online courses and self-paced online courses are great. For example, we have a self-paced online course at LifterLMS called the LifterLMS Quickstart course. It’s a self-paced course that essentially. It teaches you the 5% of the most essential features of LifterLMS, so that you can create and launch an online course website and start getting sales, which show you all the critical steps in under 40 minutes of training. That’s a very powerful, popular free, self-paced online course that we make at LifterLMS. So what is a cohort based online course? A cohort based online course is where a group of people come into a course and they kind of go through it together at the same time. So if you think back to the offline world, so when you go to school, you’re the class of whatever year you’re kind of with a cohort of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, and so on. You move as a cohort through the system. So that’s what a cohort based online course is. So that’s how they’re different. And a cohort has a lot of magic that comes with it, but it also comes with some trade-offs and by magic that comes with it. What I mean is it’s a very different thing to be an individual like by yourself taking a self-paced. Self-paced online course learning about a subject versus kind of joining a group ...

  • How To Create An Online Course With ChatGPT

    How To Create An Online Course With ChatGPT
    Dec 7 2025
    Chris Badgett outlines a comprehensive, useful process for utilizing ChatGPT to create an online course that centers around your special skill. He emphasizes that while depending exclusively on AI results in generic. Low-value course content. ChatGPT should enhance your creativity rather than replace it. In order to determine the course’s path. He starts by selecting a targeted, outcome-driven topic and creating a distinct student avatar. The “Human Knowledge Dump,” a 20–100 page compilation of your thoughts, frameworks, notes, examples, and any pertinent research, is the foundation of his system. It provides ChatGPT with rich context, enabling it to produce material that genuinely sounds like you. Using this framework, ChatGPT assists in creating a solid course overview, well-structured lesson material. Scripts, slides, and talking points appropriate for various teaching modalities, including teleprompter delivery. Informal talking-head videos, and slide-based lessons. For accessibility and clarity, Chris advises creating written courses first, then turning them into video material. Following the creation of the course material, ChatGPT may assist in creating the course name. Sales page text, short and long descriptions, and even a launch marketing strategy. He ends by illustrating how to put everything together within LifterLMS, demonstrating how ChatGPT can greatly accelerate the construction of courses without compromising authenticity or quality when done correctly. 2025 WordPress LMS Buyer’s Guide Exclusive Download!

But what ChatGPT is excellent at is being an assistant to you, a co-pilot to you. It will give you leverage, but you still have to create, and even just using all the templated prompts we use, you’re gonna create. A much better online course. Faster using ChatGPT now to go over some of the secret sauce of how to use ChatGPT correctly. ChatGPT is great at structure filling in gaps in research iteration, rewriting concepts, filling in the blanks, giving you a sounding board to bounce ideas off of or provide new insights.

But the method that we teach in our free course called Create an Online Course with ChatGPT, we help you avoid all the mistakes of using ChatGPT in a suboptimal way.

    Creator Burnout Is Killing Businesses Here’s How to Survive

Get Popup Maker Now In this LMScast episode, Chris Badgett shares the growth of creator burnout poses a danger to the prosperity of companies that rely on human ingenuity. Content development, editing, uploading, marketing, analytics, audience interaction, and customer service are all tasks that many producers attempt to manage on their own, which results in mental and physical strain. In addition to decreasing productivity, creativity, and consistency, this unrelenting pace can eventually cause artists to lose touch with the love that first motivated their work. Not only does burnout damage the individual, but it also negatively impacts the company, resulting in decreased quality, lost opportunities, and slower growth. In order to thrive, artists must create sustainable processes that prioritize high-impact work, assign or automate repetitive activities, and produce material in batches rather than continuously. To preserve energy and mental health, it’s critical to set boundaries between work and personal life. Take deliberate pauses, and practice self-care. Reestablishing a connection with the original intent of the work and reframing success in terms of sustainability and quality helps artists stay motivated, create better work, and make sure their business and themselves can prosper in the long run. 2025 WordPress LMS Buyer’s Guide Exclusive Download!

I’m the co-founder of LifterLMS, the most powerful learning management system for WordPress. State of the end, I’ve got something special for you. Enjoy the show. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of LMScast. I’m Chris Badgett. Today we are doing a solo episode, and it’s just gonna be me. We’re gonna dive a little bit into some pain and help you find some solutions around what I call creator entrepreneur burnout. So if you’re listening to this, if you like this show, you are probably a creator. Whether that’s a course creator, a content creator, a media creator, an entrepreneur, you may be doing it full time. It might be a side hustle, what comes hand in hand with these activities? Burnout. And I see burnout everywhere in our industry. I’m constantly seeing entrepreneurs burnout, businesses fail that don’t need to. And I want to unpack some different ways that you can. Work through burnout, recognize burnout, and eventually, or ultimately overcome it. The main thing here is when you’re a creator or you’re building a business as an entrepreneur, there’s this invisible emotional la labor of always having to be the expert, to be the, if you’re leading the company or you’re leading the business. You have to have all the answers. You gotta come up with a strategy, you gotta do the execution. If you’re managing a team, you gotta guide the ship, if you will, and always being the expert can really burn you out. And one way to get past that is first in mindset of I don’t necessarily have all the answers. I may not have all the resources, but I can be extremely resourceful. So learning when to. Say, I don’t know, but I’m gonna go find that and be okay with taking the time to go find the answer, to not be the expert, and do some research, some reading, some podcast listening, reaching out to a friend or mentor for guidance and help that can help reduce the emotional labor of having to always be the expert. It’s also an indication when you feel that emotional labor. That it might be time to hire. Maybe you need a somebody who’s better than you at something, right? So I’ve done that a lot, like as a software company where I can’t write code. So I work with developers who know how to write code, and by definition, because I can’t write code. They’re all better than me, but that’s okay. We’re all on the train together, and I love this quote I heard from someone once, which is ...
