About Courses Hub
Courses Hub is part of the phyrenix.com network — a family of single-purpose sites that each answer one area of real life honestly and free. This hub covers the practical side of building and selling an online course: course pricing maths, module time estimates, launch cost budgets, cohort-versus-evergreen decisions, quiz and assessment basics, student support load, platform fee comparisons, course outline structure, niche validation, pilot and beta launch plans, marketing your course, refund and guarantee policy basics, free-to-full upsell paths, accessibility basics, budget recording setups, student engagement, keeping content current and an honest when-not-to-make-a-course framing — encouraging, honest, no hype and no income guarantees.

What we do
Every tool on this site answers instantly from our own knowledge base and calculators — no AI cost, no waiting, no account. The free answer is designed to be genuinely useful on its own: an honest number, a clear next step, and a plain-English explanation of the course habit, platform rule or bit of maths behind it.
The paid report
When you want a deeper, personalised written report, it costs $2.95 — about one cup of coffee. The fee pays for a detailed written plan for your situation and keeps the free tools free.
Who we are
Independent operators, not a marketing agency, financial adviser, tax agent or education consultant. We sell clarity, not services — we never promise income, sales or results, and we are not trying to convince you that your teaching dream needs rescuing.
Our promise
Educational only, always honest about limits — course platform fees, student numbers and consumer rules vary by platform, niche, country and time (we write from a New Zealand base; your local rules may differ), and the tools give plain-language estimates and next steps, not professional opinions. Honest plans beat hustle, and nothing you type is stored.
