Nick's Experience with the LifterLMS Software...
"I've used a number of course creation and delivery platforms over the years. And they were all fine… right up to the day when they weren't. The trouble is, they all want you to package and manage your course the way THEY think you should do it. THEIR feature set. THEIR way to do it.
Now I host all my courses on LifterLMS. TOTALLY different experience, because I'm free to do things MY way. I've never yet hit a wall where LifterLMS didn't enable me to do things the way I wanted.
Love it! Great support and community too."

This is How We Help Education Entrepreneurs Create, Launch, and Scale Without Limits
EVERYONE Has Something to Teach & Should Have a Digital Training Product. Here's How to Make Your High Value Training Platform with LifterLMS in 5 Easy Steps ...
STEP 1: CREATE
Build Your Perfect Online Training Program
Create beautiful online courses, quizzes, and more from one screen with our flexible drag and drop course builder. Make simple online courses, advanced multi-instructor training based membership websites, and everything in between. Whether you call it a course, membership site, or learning management system, we help you make it.
"LifterLMS is by far the best designed WordPress LMS platform. It's fast, and reliable. I can reuse lessons, and I can drag & drop individual lessons from one course to another. It keeps my content organized and well structured. " - Isaac Peterson
STEP 2: SELL
Attract Learners and Get Paid
Make money with your skills, knowledge, and experience from your conversion optimized training website. Any pricing and business model is possible. Sell courses. Sell memberships. Sell any training package. Keep it simple or scale up your cashflow through intelligent upsells and recurring revenue. No separate ecommerce or membership plugin required. Accept payments and enrollments instantly without limits.
"In less than 10 months we've gone from $0 to $300,000 in revenue with LifterLMS playing a huge part in that! I'm looking forward to everything that comes next from the creators of LifterLMS!" - Sarah Lorenzen
STEP 3: ENGAGE
Maximize Learner Results with Engagement
Empower your students with a world-class online course experience. Keep your learners focused and on track with gamification, assignments, quizzes, coaching, online community, and more. Understand your learners with powerful customizable reporting. Create your unique engagement mix with automation and human interaction to accelerate learner success.
"LifterLMS gives us the tools to serve our learners better. No more just having our members watching videos in a vacuum! Our 30,000+ students earn badges and certificates for completing lessons and courses. They can print and share them to verify that they've completed our training which helps them get hired. Or they just enjoy the rewards as an acknowledgment of their progress." - Shawn Hesketh
STEP 4: PROTECT
Keep Your Course Content Private, Or Not.
Take full control of your training assets with secure content protection, individual user accounts, personalized student dashboards, course access rules, drip content, prerequisites, start dates, launch windows, and all the security features you could ever need. You get to decide who can see what, when, and at what price.
"Now I host all my courses on LifterLMS. TOTALLY different experience, because I'm free to do things MY way. I've never yet hit a wall where LifterLMS didn't enable me to do things the way I wanted." - Nick Usborne
STEP 5: CONNECT
Integrate Your Favorite Tools
Extend your learning management system website's functionality and design to meet your unique vision. Connect your website with your favorite tools through our add-ons, Zapier, and the WordPress ecosystem of themes, plugins, page builders, and blocks. Unlike closed platforms, you can design any learner experience that you imagine. And you can create a truly unique brand that your people will respect.
"LifterLMS is an amazing plugin. It integrates very well with Beaver Builder, Astra theme & makes for a great membership site or online course solution. It's one of those plugins that when you have it, you just don't look anywhere else." - Georges Wansek

"The team has been incredibly helpful and accessible with all my inquiries. I've really appreciated the responsiveness of their support team. I'm looking forward to working with them for the foreseeable future."
"I could not be happier with LifterLMS. The plugin is intuitive to use and very flexible. The team at LifterLMS is constantly innovating and upgrading the plugin, and the support is very responsive. Best of all - I love that the mission of LifterLMS is focused on the small or solo business person. I feel very cared for and about."

"I've tried dozens of LMS plugins. Everything other than LifterLMS suffers from either prohibitive student user-unfriendliness or clunky course-creation processes. LifterLMS gets my top recommendation."
"LifterLMS has a clean, intuitive interface that was easy to set up. I host my Twitter Class on it, and it was much easier putting it together than working with other eLearning software. I love that I could just add it to my existing website. LifterLMS also has a blog, YouTube channel, podcast, and Facebook group that I follow closely so I can get the most use out of the plugin. I give them an A+ on ease of use and A++ on service."

Shawn Hesketh

"WP101.com serves more than 30,000 members, so it's no small challenge to migrate to a new membership plugin. We spent more than a year carefully evaluating dozens of LMS and membership plugins before we finally discovered LifterLMS.
It was the only plugin that checked all the boxes for our needs. And the LifterLMS team also shares our passion for creating better online learning experiences. In particular, we deeply resonate with their goal of restoring the human touch to online learning-something that is absent from most online courses today."
"We're so far very happy with LifterLMS. [Because we are coders] we did make some changes that we contributed back, and the LifterLMS team was quick to approve and merge those. Open source as open source should be, we love it!"

"We love to work with LifterLMS. It is easy to use for the course creator and the end user. LifterLMS made creating courses online a pleasure."
"I have been thinking about offering classes online for years. I found LifterLMS and after creating a simple course outline and filling in the items in the LifterLMS course builder, I had a working course. Just like that!
I was experimenting with a weekly live webinar and impulsively announced that I was creating a course. In days I had my 15 test subjects. I had so much interest I offered a pre-registration at a reduced price. I officially had a 5-figure launch!
Thank you LifterLMS for making it simple and familiar. If you can create a WordPress post, you can create an online course."

What all LMS softwares should aspire to be!
July 2, 2018
As a former School Teacher, professional User Experience Designer, and current online course creator - I can honestly attribute much of our success to LifterLMS and it's consideration for multiple learning modalities, UI/UX out of the box, and natural student Engagement opportunities.
I only wish we started with it right from the start, instead of 5 months in on a massive redesign for the better! It's exceeded all my expectations, increased student engagement, lowered our refund rate, and is a breeze for our team to use.
In less than 10 months we've gone from $0 to $300K in revenue with LifterLMS playing a huge part in that!! I'm looking forward to everything that comes next from the creators of LifterLMS!!
The top choice LMS to build a multi-instructor educational platform like Udemy but on WordPress
September 25, 2020
As a non-technical founder, thanks to LifterLMS, I was able to launch a fully-featured and fully-customized multi-instructor educational platform in days.
Instead of spending 6-12 months finding a technical co-founder, trying to raise money, and building the software from scratch, we were able to focus right away on recruiting instructors, publishing quality courses, and platform marketing.
Thank you, LifterLMS team!

Easy to Use Awesome Course Plugin
April 2, 2017
A friend told me about LifterLMS as we were both using Teachable. Teachable is super easy to use if you don't know much about coding, etc. But, waiting for my money for what sometimes felt like forever just wasn't cutting it for me. I tested LifterLMS and spoke back and forth with support to get some questions answered. I was hooked. The courses are easy to set up and it works well with BeaverBuilder on WordPress. I purchased the ConvertKit extension and am super pleased with how everything integrates nicely. The team has been so helpful by answering questions quickly in their Facebook Group and have listened to user needs. They did a huge improvement recently and I loved all of the updates. I've had people ask me many times what I use and I am a proud affiliate now. It's definitely a better alternative to course development programs that make you wait nearly 45 days to get paid for what you're teaching. And your users never have to leave your site to take a course. You keep control.

Amazing Functionality for Academic Courses
February 3, 2019
Hands-down the best LMS for higher education I've used. We were using Moodle, and were looking to upgrade to something more modern for several years but nothing offered the same level of functionality. LifterLMS provides a student interface that works directly from our website (thus ensuring regular student interaction with the site itself and our social media), and provides easy access to course materials, timetables, assessments and assessment results. Together with Google for education, they make the perfect online experience for teachers and students alike. Well done! Plus, the technical support is very effective and efficient.

Hassle-free LMS with compatibility with popular themes and page builders. I also LOVE the drag/drop course builder - and above all it has a WooCommerce integration! All that comes with a friendly team and community around this plugin. Thank you guys and keep it up!

One Year and Big Impact

Using Lifter for over one year and I can say that all what they provided for all teaching communities is enormous. Hope they grow bigger and bigger to provide more features! Somehow this plugin changed my life because I made my dream come true and I can provide high quality content what is used by hundreds of students in my country.

Best LMS so far
December 15, 2018
LifterLMS is one of the best LMSs I have seen so far. The newly improved Course Builder is dope - the easiest for non-techies.

Got to be the best LMS out there..
June 1, 2017
have got to say this has to be one of the best learning management systems out there..I have tried a few over the last 12 months looking for a way of replacing my external LMS.
This fits the bill 100% and with every update it get better and easier to use with more functions. The LifterLMS support team is fantastic if you ever get stuck with anything…
@rawtech
Has been great!
December 29, 2018
With over 2,000 students it still holds up great. Glad LifterLMS has a great team that helps with any issues you may have. They constantly update the platform and have great tutorials. Really happy with them overall.
