@awesome_amelia Free Trials is something we started to make available on the platform and it seems trainers are open to that. Quite a few trainers chose to provide free sessions. Working now on a feature to allow trainers provide discounts.
It really depends on the skills you're targeting. For creative skills like design or writing, showcasing inspiring examples and providing easy-to-use tools can attract learners. For technical skills like coding, offering interactive tutorials and hands-on projects is key. And for soft skills, bite-sized lessons and real-world scenarios work well. The main thing is making the learning engaging and relevant to people's goals. What specific skill categories are you focused on?
