“I just want to give a shout out to the LMSLifter team for a great system. We just posted the course we created for lawyers (about client intake and consultation) on a Divi theme and after the first week, we’ve had almost $10k in sales and 55 students. And most of that was with a discount for early birds with a small group of Beta testers.”
