Starting a membership site for courses

[dreadpixel]

Hello everyone.
Im creating some courses into a Wordpress + Amember PRO website.
But what do you think is better? Start selling courses independently and later implement the membership until I have 10 courses?
Or I can start 2 ways, selling individual and charge per year making promise of adding 1 course per month?

I would do No. 1
What are your courses going to be about?

Coding, automation, Adobe creative, IoT and that stuff.
I planned a course on how to do most sold stuff on Fiverr. How the fiverr sellers do it for do it very fast and deliver.
Im starting with Python and several fun examples, not as the free courses around the net. It is something that has taken me about 100 hours to create from scratch.

Why don't you start with Learndash? aMember Pro is really outdated and no need to manage your customer orders through a 3rd party CMS?

I already have WP Courseware installed and working. I just needed a membership plugin, and I had been watching Amember Pro for a long time. But didnt know it was outdated.
Shall I just abort WPCourseware and get a refund Amember pro so I can get the Learndash?

The choice is up to you, but the current version of aMember Pro is about 6-7 years old. Their previous version was saving their passwords in plain texts lol.

Also, I have very good experience with the Learndash plugin and it's compatible themes. Search ThemeForest for some Learndash themes, I am sure you will like. Also, they have a large amount of plugins available if you need additional features.

Do you know an open source version like Leandash ?

OMG, You are going to make me refund money to Amember and proceed with learndash
And using Learndash I can sell course as a product and also a membership?

I think its better to do a per course charge in the beginning plus marketing it would be easier.

Yeah, I found that I need that. Also, I know A Member PRO is not so updated, but it is a very stable membership plugins. Do you think?

I'm implementing something similar into my site within the same niche. I was wondering how your experience has been so far? My strategy has been to gain a decent amount of traffic and rankings first and then begin publishing courses. I've luckily reached my traffic/email lead/subscription goal and I'm excited to get started started on this next phase. Hope your journey is going well and any insight is much appreciated.

I just starting using ARMember Pro and it has been working great. Should I be concerned?

I would say do: Start selling courses independently and later implement the membership until I have 10 courses
