Looking at selling a digital product (as a compliment to my main business/service). It is basically an advanced-level training that will be provided in the form of videos + accompanying PDFs.<br />
<br />
I have a pretty solid following from my existing business/service, and a strategy in place for marketing the digital product to them. What I am more interested in learning is the actual deliver of the videos+PDFs. My question is...<br />
<br />
What's the most effective platform to deliver a video-based product to customers?<br />
<br />
Rather than just ZIP all the videos and have customers download it after purchase... have any of you used a some sort of portal where customers have a unique login and can select/ watch videos from their dashboard? I feel like there has to be some sort of SaaS company out there that provides something like this to people selling video-based products. My concern is not just impeding piracy but, also to make sure the customer has a user-friendly experience while using my digital product.<br />
<br />
Any advice or input will help, thanks in advance guys!<br />
<br />
Myron

</blockquote>Yes, we have a couple of successful video programs. I agree there's probably (or should be) some SaaS solution out there. I'm definitely curious to see if someone here has one they recommend. So good thread!<br />
<br />
Ultimately, we didn't find a good unified cloud-based option. We instead went with what you see below.<br />
<br />
For awareness, one product using this solution is $997. Another is $397.<br />

<b>Architecture</b><br />
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wordpress</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Woocommerce</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Subscriptions (allows for recurring payments)</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Memberships (allows you to provide access to pages to customers based on purchases and drip pages to them as well)</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Stripe (for credit card)</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Videos are hosted on Youtube, but shown on the member pages</li>
</ul>It's probably not the most elegant way, but it definitely works.<br />
<br />
<b>Pros</b><br />
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Customers don't seem to have any problems with it. We get very few support inquiries.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Everything is customer administered. They can update their credit card, cancel, reset passwords, etc... all on their own.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">It is super flexible. We can add in contact forms, surveys, PDFs, quizzes, whatever.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">We can set up multiple pages for a nice progression for customers.</li>
</ul><b>Cons</b><br />
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">I am not aware of a way to create something like a "progress indicator" or overall scoring system.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">As people complete videos or advance from one page to the next, it would be nice to send them emails. Not sure exactly how to do this either.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Would prefer something a little more purpose built.</li>
</ul></div>
