Videos have become a primary instrument for online training, and for the right reason. for course designers, videos allow you to speak directly with your students in a casual manner. Video lessons for learners provide both a visual and auditory style of learning which can increase engagement.

It is likely that you are already engaging learners with videos through your personal YouTube as well as Vimeo channel. Why not reuse your videos in a paid course to increase your income from passive sources?

The creation of a free course based on your content can help you gain credibility, making it easier to market future courses and products to the people who view your content.

Before we show you how to use Vimeo to make a course, let's consider the way Vimeo compares to YouTube.

Vimeo as well as YouTube?

YouTube offers a wide range of benefits. It's free to get started, and it's already the second (or the third) the largest search engine available on the Internet. YouTube can be a fantastic option to upload videos in a short time, using a straightforward uploading.

Although YouTube lets you share your videos with a large audience, that could not be the best option if you want to protect your course content. If you're offering content that is paid for and you want to restrict access only to your students accessing those videos. If they're free and public on YouTube Anyone who has a link can access and share the content with other users.

Vimeo provides advanced privacy settings so you can lock down your videos to ensure that only students are granted access to your content. Vimeo also presents videos without advertisements in the middle or pre-roll. And unlike YouTube, Vimeo has 24/7 support to help you troubleshoot or guide you through the platform.

Vimeo offers a no-cost choice, however for creators, you're not going be able to make it out of the free tier. It will limit the uploading and storage options as well as losing all the additional features of their paid tiers. There's a popular $35/month option which unlocks powerful tools for creating and other features, including personalized branding on video.

With that said, let's demonstrate how you can take a Vimeo showcase and turn it into a class.
