Earn more passive income through Turning Videos into Courses Learn More -

Videos have become a primary tool for online instruction to teach online, and for the right reason. for course designers, videos enable you to talk directly to your learners in a casual manner. For learners, video lessons offer both a visual as well as an auditorial style of learning that can increase engagement.

You may already be using videos to engage learners on your own YouTube and Vimeo channel. Therefore, why not use your existing videos for a paid course to increase the amount of passive income you earn?

If, for instance, you're already using Vimeo to host the content of your videos, you'll have an opportunity to increase the value of your video in the form of an online course.

Additionally, create an online course for free using your videos already on Vimeo and use the videos to market your course. Creating a free course from the content you already have helps gain credibility, making it easier to market your future courses or products to your audience.

In the meantime, before we demonstrate how you can make use of Vimeo to build a course, let's consider how Vimeo differs from YouTube.

Vimeo and YouTube?

YouTube offers a wide range of benefits. It's free to get started, and it's already the second (or third) most popular search engine available on the Internet. YouTube is an excellent method to share videos quickly, and with an easy uploading procedure.

While YouTube exposes your videos to an enormous audience, this might not be ideal if you want to protect the content of your courses. If you're offering paid content and you want to restrict access only to your students to be able to view those videos. If they're available for free and open on YouTube and anyone owns a YouTube account can view and also share it with others.

Vimeo offers advanced privacy features so you can lock down the videos you upload to ensure only students are granted access to your content. Vimeo provides videos without advertising in mid- or post-rolls. In contrast to YouTube, Vimeo has 24/7 assistance to assist you in resolving issues or guide you through the platform.

Vimeo has a free option, but for course the creators, you're unlikely be able to make it by with the free tier. It will limit storage and upload options as well as losing all the additional features of the paid-tier. It's also a very popular monthly subscription of $35 which unlocks powerful tools for creating and features, such as custom branding on videos.

With that said, let's teach you how to use an Vimeo show and convert it into a class.
