A Little About Payhip

Payhip has been around for quite some time. I first heard about (and started using) this amazing platform around 2015 when I began to take my writing seriously. They were—and still are—a great platform for hosting and selling ebooks (and now courses) if you want to be able to get more revenue by selling them on your own website or via social media.


Unlike other course platforms that charge out the wazoo for their services, Payhip lets you use ALL their features for free—and you also get UNLIMITED products and revenue, also for free.


Enroll in this free course now to see an overview of all the features Payhip offers in their new course builder. Once inside, you'll be able to see some of the projects I myself have created using Payhip, including guitar tabs, Line 6 Helix presets, ebooks, and more.
