Thinkific Launches Communities to Revamp Online Learning for Creators

Thinkific Labs has launched a new learning product “to supercharge how creators engage with, monetize, and retain their audience.”

The Vancouver-based knowledge economy company says that Thinkific Communities elevates “a traditional one-way learning experience into a collaborative exchange.”

This new Thinkific product enables creators to own their community and foster relationships with their brand at the forefront, according to a statement from the BC firm.

“We know that creators with active communities generate more income and offer more ways to learn than those without,” says Aron Tremble, VP of Product at Thinkific. “Launching Thinkific Communities is a natural way to help our customers succeed.”

With learning communities,” creators can drive engagement and generate sustainable income with diverse selling strategies including paid community memberships, bundles with courses, and upsells to exclusive, relevant content,” Thinkific stated.

“This is an experience that students will stay for and pay for, and it complements our existing suite of learning products,” added Tremble. “Communities are a powerful operating approach for the knowledge economy.”

Thinkific Communities addresses an untapped potential for online learning businesses, the company believes. Creators now have full ownership and control within a secure and familiar learning environment where their audience can connect and engage under their own brand—and can directly monetize their audiences by selling or bundling community memberships.
