Field Guide: Studio & Pocket Tech for Focused Course Videos (2026)

Hook: High-quality bite-sized courses sell well on deal platforms — choose compact gear that scales

Many deal sellers diversify by selling short courses or how-to content. With compact studio and pocket tech, creators can produce professional videos without large budgets. This guide shows what to buy and how to package courses to convert in 2026.

Why creators should sell courses on deal platforms

Courses increase AOV, reduce churn, and improve seller authority. When bundled with physical products, they create unique propositions buyers can't find elsewhere.
