Should I sell course in my own LMS website or other e-learning marketplace?

Recently, one of the users from Quora asked, Is it good to have an LMS or own website for selling course?

We were surprised and sad to see, people were promoting their LMS and without even helping the OP or Original poster or Query asker by providing proper or the right solution.

We want to tell all the course creator, author, and teacher who is starting first time on e-Learning and do not have even single followers or a healthy follower from your own sources. then,

We personally don’t suggest to have your own LMS or own website for e-Learning, if you are just starting out in selling your first course.

See as a teacher, your first primary goal is not to build your own LMS, but to sell your course and for that, you should always prefer platform, where you can sell your course quickly.

For selling course quickly, at the moment - Udemy is the best solution on the planet, there is another platform too like “Lynda”, “pluralsight”, but I haven’t found many success stories of teacher/author as much I have read about udemy teachers.

Once you have enough of your follower from various channels like - “udemy”, “youtube”, “facebook”, “twitter”, “LinkedIn” or any other social media, then you are good to build your own LMS or e-learning site.

Once you are confident enough, you have enough of a follower, then you can start building your own.

To build own, you can start on 2 use case.

Case A: Free

Case B: Paid

For a Free solution, there are “moodle”, a couple of “Wordpress LMS”

For a Paid solution, there are “teachable, educlan, EduSaas or EduPaas from codecanyons.net”

Out there, there are many platforms, who are selling their LMS without proper solutions or features. Codecanyons.net not only provides 2 amazing solutions, but costs are also very effective and are getting used by the large community now.
