Five steps from expertise to income
You don't need a marketplace. You need a curriculum, a checkout, and a page that loads instantly when your launch post lands. You can also bundle companion workbooks using our system to sell digital downloads.
Map your curriculum
Break what you know into modules and lessons. One clear outcome per lesson — 'build your first API' beats 'learn backend' every time.
Record and upload
Screen recordings, PDFs, videos — drop them into Makr's course builder. Organize into sections, add durations, reorder with a drag.
Set your price & checkout
Connect Stripe once. Set a price in any currency, create coupons, and get a hosted checkout that works on every device — no plugins.
Protect your content
Makr issues entitlements on purchase. Only paying students can stream lessons — gated at the edge, no leaky links or shared passwords.
Publish your store page
Hit publish. Your course store is static HTML on a global CDN — instant load, perfect Lighthouse, and your own domain from day one.
Everything to sell. Nothing to rent.
Makr is not a marketplace — it's your store. Your domain, your email list, your pricing — easily linkable from your creator link in bio. The only cut is Stripe's.
Course builder that respects chapters
Modules, lessons, durations, and rich content blocks. Built for learners who scan — progress is obvious from the first click.
Stripe checkout, your revenue
Direct Stripe Connect. No marketplace cut on top — your students pay you, not a platform that owns the relationship.
Access control that just works
Entitlements, verification emails, and gated video. If they didn't pay, they don't watch — handled at the edge, not with fragile JS.
Static store that never buckles
Launch-day traffic is just bytes from a CDN. No database to scale, no checkout to crash when your launch post hits.
Your domain, your brand
yourname.com/courses — not a subdomain on someone else's marketplace. Every link builds your SEO, not theirs.
Updates in minutes
Swap a video, add a lesson, change a price — publish again and the CDN is fresh before you've refreshed the tab.
Makr vs. marketplaces
Your course, your math
Adjust price and students — see what you actually keep.
No marketplace cut. On Udemy/Skillshare you'd lose another $2,940 at 30%.
Quick answers
Create a course in the dashboard — add modules and lessons, upload videos or PDFs, set a price, connect Stripe, and publish. Your course store page is static HTML on a global CDN with gated access handled at the edge.
Only Stripe's standard fees (2.9% + 30¢). Unlike marketplaces, Makr doesn't add a 10–30% platform cut — your students pay you directly via Stripe Connect.
Yes. The course player and store are fully responsive and static-first — they load instantly on phones, tablets, and desktops with no app required.
Purchases create entitlements tied to the student's email. Lesson content is gated server-side — only verified, entitled students can stream. Shared links don't leak access.
No. The course builder is visual — add lessons, drag to reorder, and publish. Developers can still embed custom HTML/CSS/JS if they want, but nothing requires it.
Yes. Create coupons and manage pricing in the dashboard. You control pricing, promotions, and who gets access — not an algorithm on a marketplace.
You can move over any time. Keep your videos and PDFs as the source of truth, rebuild the curriculum in Makr, and publish to your own domain — your SEO and brand move with you.
