The Dual-Mode Reality
You're an instructor at a well-known coaching center. You teach 40 kids in-person. You also produce quality video content, and you want to reach 1,000+ online learners paying for premium courses.
Current reality:
Your institutional platform is closed; marketplace platforms are separate and clunky.
You manage two dashboards, two gradebooks, two student rosters.
Your online course isn't integrated with your institutional teaching.
The marketplace platform takes 30–50% commission.
LearnNet's Dual-Mode Approach
One account. Two parallel universes.
Institutional (private) courses:
Students enroll through your institution (school, coaching center, or university).
Timetables, attendance, grades, and campuses apply.
Private. Closed. Curriculum-driven.
Marketplace (public) courses:
You publish to a public course catalog.
Learners discover you, buy access, and self-register.
No institutional hierarchy; pure course → learner relationship.
You set pricing, coupons, and review-based reputation.
Both draw on your single instructor account, shared course library, and unified gradebook.
The Workflow (Real Example)
You create a course: "Advanced Algebra for JEE Aspirants."
Publish it as institutional: Assigned to your coaching center's Grade 12-B, timetabled on Tue/Thu, graded against a fixed rubric.
Simultaneously publish it as marketplace: Same course, $15 one-time fee, self-paced, pay-to-access.
Institutional students (enrolled by admin) have their grades tracked. Marketplace students complete the course, get a certificate, and can review you on the platform.
One gradebook shows everyone. Your revenue dashboard splits institutional vs. marketplace income.
Why This Matters
Revenue diversification: Coaching centers often have 20–30% capacity. LearnNet lets you monetize that empty capacity with global learners.
Content reuse: You create the course once. Institutional delivery feeds marketplace demand (and vice versa). No duplicate work.
Brand synergy: Your marketplace presence builds your reputation; it drives institutional enrollment. Marketplace students sometimes hire you for tutoring or enroll in your live classes.
No commission trap: You're not paying 30–50% to a marketplace. You own the relationship.
The Business Model
Marketplace courses: 2–5% payment processing (Stripe). You keep 95–98%.
Institutional courses: Often packaged into tuition; no per-course commission.
Combined revenue: Institutional fees + marketplace course sales + live class bookings.
The Numbers (Realistic Example)
Institutional: 50 students × 3 courses × $100/course = $15,000/year (tutoring center model)
Marketplace: 500 students × $15/course = $7,500/year (online, pay-per-course)
Total: $22,500/year. One platform. One instructor account.
CTA: Stop managing two systems. Run institutional and marketplace courses from one LearnNet account. See how
