"Softbook Made It Easy to Turn My Astrology Notes Into an Online Course"

5/5

What do you like best about Softbook?

I work in IT, but astrology has been a personal interest of mine for many years. I've spent a lot of my free time studying it, making notes, collecting interesting observations and trying to understand different approaches. At some point I started thinking that maybe I could do something more with all that knowledge instead of just keeping it to myself.

The problem was that I had absolutely no experience creating or selling online courses. I didn't even know where to start.

Then I came across an ad for Softbook and decided to try the trial version, mostly out of curiosity. I honestly wasn't sure whether anything would come of it.

What I liked was that I could start organizing my materials into actual lessons without having to build a website or figure out a bunch of technical things. Even though I work in IT, I really didn't want my hobby to turn into another technical project.

That first experiment eventually became a small additional source of income for me. And probably the nicest part is that I now have people who are genuinely interested in learning something I've been passionate about for years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Softbook?

Honestly, I haven't had any real complaints about Softbook so far.

The hardest part for me was actually organizing my own knowledge. I had years of notes and observations about astrology, but turning all of that into something structured and understandable for other people took more time than I expected.

But that's not really a problem with Softbook. The platform gave me the tools I needed, and figuring out what and how I wanted to teach was my responsibility. So when it comes to the platform itself, I'm genuinely happy with my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Softbook solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest thing Softbook helped me with was turning something I'd been passionate about for years into an actual source of income.

Before that, astrology was just my hobby. I had lots of notes, ideas and personal observations, but no clear idea how to share them with people in a structured way, let alone earn anything from it.

With Softbook, I was able to put together my own learning materials and offer them to people who wanted to understand astrology better. It also opened up opportunities for individual consultations, which I hadn't really planned when I first started.

I still have my regular job in IT, so being able to manage all of this in my free time is a huge advantage. I never expected my hobby to become something that could actually bring in money while also letting me share what I've learned.

And I have to mention the mobile app that was introduced recently. That was honestly the cherry on top for me. Having a mobile option makes learning even more convenient, especially for people who don't want to sit at a computer to go through lessons.

If I could give Softbook 12 out of 10, I probably would :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
