Questions
How do I launch an online academy under my own brand?
Claim a branded academy on your own domain, add your courses and live classes, connect your own payment gateway for UPI/card checkout, and point a custom domain at it. The Big Class gets you live the same day — your logo, your URL, your audience — at 0% commission, so the academy you launch is one you actually own.
How can I build an independent creator/coaching business online?
Stop renting your business from YouTube, Instagram or a marketplace. Convert that audience into your own list, branded academy and paid community, sell on your own domain, and take payments directly. That's the difference between being a feature of someone else's platform and being the founder of your own education business.
Which platform lets me run a website, courses, community, live sessions and payments in one tool?
The Big Class is all-in-one: a branded site, courses, storefront, live classes and cohorts, a paid community, certificates, marketing, and your own UPI/Stripe checkout — one login instead of five subscriptions stitched together.
Do I own my audience and student data?
Yes — you hold the student list and emails, you can reach learners directly, and you can export everything in one click with no lock-in. Ownership of your audience, content and revenue is the whole point.
Your launch isn't a complex project. It's a Saturday afternoon.
The free Starter plan has everything you need to launch. Professional branding, cohorts, and custom CNAME domains can be configured whenever you're ready.
