Hello again, Morphoicers! Happy Saturday,

Welcome back to Morphoices, where we serve up the latest in platforms, policy, and publishing—without overwhelming your brain or bloating your browser with open tabs.

Here’s your weekly briefing: smart, lean, and tailored for creators like you.

Let’s dive in!

1. Teachable Adds Mobile-Friendly Code Blocks

The update: Teachable just launched a custom code block that works natively in its mobile app. Now you can embed HTML, CSS, and JavaScript snippets directly into lessons—no desktop required.

Why it matters:
This is a big win if your learners are coding on the go or if you’re teaching technical skills and want your content to look great everywhere.

What to do:
Head to your Teachable dashboard and try embedding a simple snippet in a test lesson. Think: hands-on learning, now mobile-ready.

2. Kajabi Payments Now Available Across Europe

The update: Kajabi’s April release brings native payment processing to European creators, powered by Stripe.

Why it matters:
No more clunky workarounds or third-party headaches. This makes launching and scaling in EU markets a whole lot smoother—especially with built-in VAT support.

What to do:
Navigate to Settings > Payments inside Kajabi and toggle on European payouts. Double-check VAT settings while you're there.

3. YouTube Lowers Monetization Threshold to 500 Subscribers

The update: YouTube has dropped the minimum for Partner Program eligibility to 500 subscribers. Welcome to earlier access to ads, Super Thanks, and channel memberships.

Why it matters:
If you’re using YouTube for course teasers or tutorial-style content, you can now monetize much sooner.

What to do:
If you haven’t already, develop a YouTube content plan that builds consistency and community. Short-form + educational = growth.

4. Meta Starts Rolling Out Ads in Threads

The update: Threads now supports in-feed ads in both the US and EU. Campaigns are limited for now, but early access usually means lower costs and a chance to test before the masses jump in.

Why it matters:
It’s a fresh opportunity to promote lead magnets, course waitlists, or evergreen funnels on a platform that’s still growing.

What to do:
Start simple. Try a test campaign to warm up interest in your most popular free resource. Watch cost per click—and keep your copy human.

5. Stripe Tax Automates Compliance for Course Creators

The update: Stripe Tax now offers deeper integration with platforms like Thinkific and Substack, automating global tax collection (including VAT, GST, and sales tax).

Why it matters:
Tax headaches are real. This lets you focus on building and selling—without stressing over compliance across regions.

What to do:
Log in to Stripe, go to Tax Settings, and make sure your course category is correctly labeled. Run a test purchase to verify everything calculates as it should.

Quick Takeaways

• Teachable is leveling up tech courses with mobile-native code blocks.

• Kajabi is making EU expansion friction-free for course creators.

• YouTube now monetizes smaller audiences—hello, micro-creators.

• Threads opens up paid ad placement—consider it for warm traffic tests.

• Stripe Tax makes cross-border selling less stressful. Yes, really.

Until next time—stay focused, stay human, and keep building with intention.

Valentine.
