       @danmcquillan A friend does it with a wordpress plugin (https://senseilms.com/) but if you charge that's also not free. Another acquaintance uses udemy.com to host a course which is a fully integrated thing but of course a tech company.

       @danmcquillan There are a boatload of open source packages that try to cover that kind of space but I don't know how much time and energy you want to invest in hosting and maintaining it.

       @danmcquillan If I were in a hacky mood and just needed something simple cheap I'd take a wordpress, setup a membership plugin (a few good free ones are available), and either host video through that or by using embedded nonlisten youtube video so Google can pay for it.

       @tante as Clint would say - "you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel hacky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

       @danmcquillan at work I never do, but you have no idea what kinds of dodgy infrastructure I run for myself ;)
