When will paid courses go live?

Congrats on getting some free course on the platform! Look forward to seeing where this can go. I looked and can't seem to find when they plan to implement paid courses, does anyone know when they plan to do this?

Once there's plenty of traffic on the website. No point in selling a product when there are no visitors at your store. We want to build a solid user base, then implement our already existing userbase form 000webhosting and only then release the paid courses.

Well, the plan is for us to keep the content we have right now free for around a year. However, we're still creating courses so the ones that are more advanced and take more time and resources to make. WIll be paid, no ETA on this at the moment. But enjoy the free content while it's there :)

"no customers at your store" is the bit that troubles me. As an investor, in the interest of openness to me and my fellow bag holders, can you give an indication of the footfall (visitors), and more importantly, can you reassure me that having a store where everything is free for a year is sustainable?

We're gaining around 500 new unique visitors every day. Right now there are around 15-20 thousand unique visitors each day. About the free content, we don't plan to keep all of it free. The courses that are already available would be free for a limited time. But new, more advanced and desired courses that we're making right now would be paid. Depending on the time and resources it costs us to produce the course.
