Use UniLink as your course marketing and sales page while Teachable handles the learning experience — the best of both without the full Teachable overhead.
- Teachable is an excellent LMS for course delivery but is heavy and expensive when all you need is a sales and marketing page.
- UniLink can serve as your course sales page — showcasing curriculum, social proof, and a direct enrollment CTA — while Teachable stays in the background for course delivery.
- The migration involves building a UniLink course sales page, connecting your Teachable checkout URL, and using UniLink's email forms to capture leads before purchase.
Teachable is a powerful learning management system. If you're running a structured course with video lectures, quizzes, student progress tracking, and certificates, Teachable's LMS features earn their keep. But the problem many course creators face is using Teachable's complex, opinionated page builder to create their sales and marketing page — the page that actually converts browsers into buyers. Teachable sales pages are functional but constrained, and Teachable's full platform cost ($39–$119/month) starts to feel expensive when your primary need is a clear, compelling page that says "here's what you'll learn, here's who it's for, and here's how to enroll." UniLink solves that specific problem better, at lower cost, and lets Teachable do what it's actually good at.
What Migrating From Teachable Does
The typical Teachable sales page gives you a long-form page builder where you add sections: hero, curriculum outline, instructor bio, testimonials, FAQ, pricing. It works, but the editor is complex and the resulting pages often look templated. UniLink's block system lets you build the same sales page structure with more design control, faster editing, and a responsive layout that looks polished on the mobile screens where most of your audience will first see it. You're not abandoning Teachable as your LMS — you're replacing its weakest component (the sales page) with a better tool.
The lead capture workflow is where UniLink adds the most value that Teachable doesn't offer. Teachable's sales page has one call to action: buy now. Visitors who aren't ready to buy immediately leave with no connection to your brand. UniLink lets you add an email signup block — "Join the waitlist," "Get the free first lesson," "Be notified when enrollment opens" — that captures potential students who are interested but not yet committed. These leads can be nurtured through email until they're ready to enroll, dramatically increasing the total lifetime value of your bio link traffic.
The pricing difference compounds over time. A Teachable Pro plan costs $119/month. You're paying that for the LMS, the hosting, and a sales page builder. UniLink's Pro plan at $19/month covers just the sales page and marketing functions. If you're keeping Teachable for course delivery, adding UniLink for $19/month as a purpose-built sales and marketing page adds more capability to your front-of-funnel than Teachable's built-in page builder does, for a fraction of the additional cost.
How to Get Started
- Identify the specific course you want to build a UniLink sales page for. If you have multiple Teachable courses, start with your flagship or highest-revenue course and replicate the approach for others after validating the model.
- Create a free account at unilink.us and set up your profile. Use your course creator brand name as the display name — this page represents you as an instructor, not just a single course.
- In the UniLink dashboard at app.unilink.us, start building your sales page structure. Add blocks in this sequence: hero (course headline + image), curriculum overview, instructor bio, testimonials, FAQ, pricing/CTA. Each becomes a UniLink block.
- Write compelling sales copy for each block. Don't copy your Teachable page verbatim — this is an opportunity to sharpen your messaging. Focus on outcomes ("you'll learn to…" "by the end you'll be able to…") rather than feature lists.
- Add your Teachable enrollment URL as the destination for your primary CTA button. When a visitor clicks "Enroll Now" on your UniLink page, they go directly to Teachable's checkout. The sale processes through Teachable; UniLink handles the marketing page.
How to Complete the Migration
- Add an email signup block — positioned before or after the main pricing CTA — with a clear lead magnet offer: a free first lesson, a sample worksheet, a course preview video. This captures visitors who aren't ready to buy yet.
- Connect your email marketing tool in app.unilink.us Settings → Integrations so that email signups from the UniLink page feed directly into your nurture sequence for the course.
- Update your social bio links to point to your new UniLink course sales page instead of your Teachable school URL. Your Teachable enrollment link is now one click away from this page, not the first thing visitors see.
- Test the full purchase flow: bio link click → UniLink sales page → "Enroll Now" → Teachable checkout → enrollment confirmation. Verify the flow works on mobile — this is where most bio link clicks originate.
- Set up a retargeting pixel (Facebook Pixel or Google Tag) in UniLink's analytics settings. Visitors who viewed your UniLink sales page but didn't enroll become a retargeting audience for paid ad campaigns promoting the course.
Key Differences
| Feature | Teachable Sales Page | UniLink Sales Page |
|---|---|---|
| Editor ease of use | Complex block editor with many options | Simple, fast block system with drag-and-drop |
| Lead capture before purchase | Not available — buy or leave | Email signup blocks with full integration support |
| Mobile optimization | Responsive but Teachable-templated | Fully responsive with clean mobile layout |
| Analytics | Teachable dashboard (student-focused) | Traffic sources, page visits, CTA click rates |
| Bio link page | Not a bio link tool — separate page only | Course sales page + all bio links on one page |
Get the Most Out of UniLink After Migrating
The email lead capture workflow is the highest-leverage addition you gain by switching from a Teachable sales page to UniLink. Build a simple three-email nurture sequence for people who download your free lead magnet: email one delivers the freebie, email two shares a student success story, email three presents the full course offer with a limited-time bonus. This sequence, running automatically from UniLink's email signup integrations, turns what used to be a lost visitor into an enrolled student over five to seven days. Many course creators find this sequence alone recovers enough revenue to pay for their UniLink plan many times over.
Use UniLink's analytics to understand which traffic source brings your highest-converting course prospects. Bio link traffic for course creators often comes from multiple platforms — YouTube descriptions, Instagram Stories, podcast show notes, email newsletters. UniLink's traffic source attribution lets you see which channel sends visitors who actually click your enrollment CTA versus visitors who bounce. Allocating your content energy to channels that drive high-intent traffic is the strategic insight that Teachable's student-focused analytics can never provide.
Expand your UniLink page beyond just the course sales page over time. Add blocks for your other products, a booking block for consultation calls with serious students, and a newsletter signup for people interested in your teaching niche who aren't ready for a full course. Your UniLink page should become your primary creator hub — the destination you send everyone in your audience, regardless of what they're looking for. The course enrollment CTA is the headline, but the page serves everyone.
If you teach multiple courses, consider whether to create separate UniLink pages for each course or a combined page that presents all of them. A combined page works well when courses are in the same niche and your audience is already familiar with your work. Separate pages work better for distinct audiences or when running paid ads to a specific course — each ad campaign should have a dedicated landing page with one clear call to action, not multiple options to distract the visitor.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Teachable enrollment link returning 404 | Teachable course URL changed or course is not published | Log into Teachable, confirm the course is published and the enrollment URL is current; update the link in your UniLink CTA block |
| Email signups not flowing to nurture sequence | Automation not triggered for the UniLink integration | Verify your email tool automation is set to trigger on new subscriber added to the specific list connected to UniLink |
| Retargeting pixel not firing | Pixel ID not correctly entered in UniLink analytics settings | Copy the full pixel ID from Facebook Events Manager or Google Tag Manager and re-enter it in app.unilink.us Settings → Analytics |
| Course sales page looks thin on mobile | Too few blocks or large images not displaying correctly | Add at least one testimonial block and one curriculum overview block; resize large images to standard block dimensions before uploading |
Pros of Migrating
- Lead capture before purchase — build your list from visitors who aren't ready to buy today
- Purpose-built sales page tool that's faster and cleaner than Teachable's page builder
- Traffic source analytics that show which channels actually drive enrollment intent
- One page serves as your course sales page, bio link hub, and email opt-in
Things to Plan For
- Writing new sales copy for UniLink blocks — don't just copy Teachable page text verbatim
- Setting up and testing the email nurture sequence for lead magnet subscribers
- Teachable enrollment URL must stay current — any Teachable page changes need a UniLink update too
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I still need Teachable if I use UniLink as my sales page?
Yes — for course delivery. UniLink handles marketing and sales. Teachable handles video hosting, lesson delivery, student progress tracking, certificates, and community. UniLink connects to Teachable checkout, so students still enroll and access their course through Teachable. The two tools do different jobs and work together cleanly.
Can UniLink handle the full course checkout without Teachable?
UniLink can process payments via Stripe for any product, including courses. However, course delivery — video hosting, lesson structure, quizzes, certificates — requires a dedicated LMS like Teachable. If your "course" is a digital PDF, video bundle, or downloadable file, UniLink with Stripe can handle the full workflow. For structured video courses, keep Teachable for delivery.
How do I track if someone who signed up for my lead magnet later enrolled in my Teachable course?
Use a consistent email address across both systems. When a lead magnet subscriber enrolls in Teachable, their email appears in both your email tool and your Teachable student list. Manually matching those lists (or using a CRM integration) lets you calculate the lead-to-enrollment conversion rate of your UniLink email capture funnel.
What's the best lead magnet to offer on a course sales page?
The highest-converting lead magnets are directly related to the course topic and deliver immediate value: a free first lesson or module, a companion worksheet, a checklist related to the course outcome, or a short video that previews the course teaching style. The lead magnet should make visitors think "if the free content is this good, the course must be excellent."
Can I use UniLink to promote courses on multiple platforms simultaneously?
Yes. Your UniLink course sales page is a single URL you can share everywhere — Instagram bio, YouTube description, podcast show notes, email newsletter, LinkedIn posts. Anywhere you mention your course, link to your UniLink sales page. The analytics will show you which platform drives the most enrollment interest, helping you allocate promotion effort efficiently.

- Your Teachable enrollment URL becomes the CTA destination on your UniLink course sales page.
- Traffic source analytics in UniLink reveal which platforms actually drive enrollment intent.
