AI Ad Generator for Online Course Creators

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

Online course creators live and die by their ad creative. The ability to test multiple visual angles, transformation promises, and audience framings — fast — is what separates the course businesses generating six and seven figures from the ones waiting on an editor to turn around a single creative variation. MakeThisVid gives course creators the ability to generate a new ad concept in under two minutes. Test five different creatives in the time it used to take to produce one. Whether you're on Teachable, Kajabi, Udemy, or your own LMS, MakeThisVid gives you the testing velocity to find your winning ad creative before launch day.
