Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Udemy, Teachable, and Kajabi course listing video

Add a polished promo video to your course listing. Platforms prioritize listings with video and students are significantly more likely to enroll when there's a compelling visual preview.

Facebook and YouTube paid course ads

Generate video creative for paid campaigns promoting your course. Visual content showing the learning environment and the transformation your course provides performs well in cold-audience ads.

Email marketing and landing page hero video

Use a course promo clip as the hero video on your launch landing page or embed in your email launch sequence. Video in landing pages increases time-on-page and conversion.
