Built by a teacher, for people who teach.

Why I made Course Mark, and who I made it for.

I spent ten years teaching in Newfoundland classrooms before I started Good Cheer Tech Studio. Turns out, I wasn't quite done with the classroom. I just traded the whiteboard for a keyboard.

A while back, a client of mine had a course ready to go. Her videos were in a Google Drive folder, her cohort was in a Facebook group, and she was trying to hold it all together. She tried ThriveCart, but building a sales page and figuring out what to set up first was too much. She had a course and she was ready to teach, but the tech stopped her.

Then I was catching up with Gina Keeping, one of my closest friends, who's also a business coach and runs the Course Creator Bootcamp. She told me so many of her students get stuck in the same place, and the monthly price of course platforms keeps them from even trying. I slapped her on the arm and said the words on that sticky note.

I didn't set out to build another course platform. I kept seeing the same thing stop people from sharing what they know, and I wanted to fix it. So I did. Course Mark puts your lessons, sales page and checkout in one place, for one payment and no monthly fees.

You've already done the hard part: planning the lessons, recording the videos, making the worksheets. I don't think you should have to pay rent every month to keep your own course online.

Whether it's your very first course or one you're bringing over from another platform, I built Course Mark to make the whole thing simpler. I'd love to see 100 creators share what they know without trading every hour for it. Honestly, I'd be happy if it helped even one.

Why it works the way it does

  1. Built by a teacher

    I'm a teacher at heart, and it shows in the details. Students don't all start in the same place, so your course can give them different paths. Learning sticks when people stop and think, so lessons can ask reflection questions students keep as a PDF. Questions belong where the learning happens, so students can ask under any lesson. And you can see where each student stopped, so you know who needs a nudge.

  2. No rent on your own course

    You pay once and keep your sales. There's no monthly bill and no cut of what you earn, only Stripe's own fees. See pricing

  3. Made in Canada, by a real person

    Course Mark is priced in Canadian dollars, and sales tax is worked out for you at checkout. It's founder-led, so when you ask for something, you're asking the person who builds it.

Where things are

Course Mark is new, and I'm building it in the open. You can see everything I've shipped, newest first, on What's new.
