MenuWhat is the best online training course registration and management software?
Bookingbug.com seems to be good but they have monthly fees and not one time fee, are there any good alternatives?
Answers
I've used a ton of different plugins and services to create and sell online courses, and here's the best combination I've found:
WordPress + Gumroad + ProductPress
1. WordPress: You'll use WordPress to host your course content. I typically put each lesson in a new Page.
2. Gumroad: Use Gumroad to sell your course, handle payments, and to communicate with your customers.
3. ProductPress: the ProductPress plugin will allow you to connect your WordPress site and Gumroad account together.
As soon as someone buys your course on Gumroad, they'll automatically be emailed login information for your WordPress site.
It's only $39 (one-time fee). More information here: http://productpress.me
We've had some great success with eventbrite.com. I could give you better suggestions if you created a list of your requirements. However, eventbrite has really outdone themselves and probably has covered most everything you'd need.
You could consider using DoAttend.com. It is a product that I built and is very popular among training providers. Specifically for training providers: http://doattend.com/training-class-registrations
There is no monthly fee or setup fee. The fee is only based on successful paid registrations.
Here are a few notable alternatives to Bookingbug.com:
1. Acuity Scheduling
2. Checkfront
3. Schedulista
4. vcita
5. Bookedin
6. Planyo
7. Regiondo
8. OnSched
9. Agendize
10. Bookeo
11. Zen Planner
12. The Studio Director
13. Skedda
14. AppointmentPlus
15. DocMeIn
16. My PT Hub
17. GymMaster
18. Perfect Gym
19. FitSW
20. Accelevents

What are the pros/ cons of outsourcing app development vs. building an internal development team? Would this affect the value of the company?
Don't Outsource. Period. While there are big drawbacks with outsourcing related to building internal expertise the real reason I would never outsource at your stage is the need for speed and flexibility. Per your description, you are an early stage start-up with a MVP that is gathering data. Congratulations as that is a big accomplishment! However, you inevitably have a ton to learn about what your prospective customers need most and what customers deserve your attention most. The means you will be tweaking your product constantly for the foreseeable future and having to submit ideas to an outsourced team, make sure they understand what you want, wait for the new feature to be scheduled, etc is just too slow and too expensive. You should have your developers literally sitting next to you and (if you have one besides yourself) your product person so you can quickly and constantly share information. Good luck! You are in for a fun ride...GH

Can my experience with building "no code" applications be translated into something that will impress hard core coders?
Your skills would be most useful if you were starting your own startup and needed to make an early prototype to show to investors or potential cofounder developers. Your experience in debugging, testing, and agile, could help you get a job as a product manager, and the fact that you have a background in some sort of 'coding' will help too. It's very unlikely that it would help you get an actual dev job though, since you wouldn't be able to translate your programs into actual code that could be taken over/continued by other devs. Even if the programs you mentioned do allow you to export as code, it's unlikely that it would be exported in a way that's very usable by other devs.LV

What is the best way to evaluate a candidate for product manager?
Some of this is stage dependent and all of it is highly dependent on the team above the product manager. The simplest answer of course is to find PM's from companies who have had exemplary success where the Product Manager candidate either led prior success or was exposed to it in a meaningful way. A simple starting point is to ask them to give you examples of conflicting opinions on a feature and how they evaluated the conflicting opinions and made a decision and tracked the success or failure of that decision. AirBnb actually gives PM's homework as part of the interview process where they have to actually present a unique idea (from scratch) to the interviewing team. Happy to talk to you about best process based on your stage and existing team.TW

What is the best way to break into Product Management?
Hello Aidan. I was recently featured on a panel at General Assembly for an audience looking to make a career shift towards product management. In 2014 I moved from a marketing / user engagement role at a software startup to product management. The transition is still fresh in my mind. Based on the experience on your LinkedIn profile, it seems like you would be well-equipped to make the switch. You have a technical background, experience with generating team outcomes and strategic direction. I think the challenge you face is not whether you have the right skills and resources, but rather how you would like to apply them. Product management is broad and so is your choice of employers. It would be great to jump on a call to get a better context of your situation so I can give you specific tips on how to put your best foot forward.ML

Would you recommend outsourcing coders from India ….or where do you suggest?
It depends on a lot of things. This is a pretty broad question with lots of pieces. Rob Walling has a great course on Udemy on The Startup's Guide to Virtual Assistants. The course costs $99 and it's more focused on VA work than straight dev / coding but it touches on both. I took it and it was worth every penny. https://www.udemy.com/startups-guide-hiring-virtual-assistant-va/CH
