How to create and sell Online Courses through your Squarespace website

Online Courses are a great way to create alternative avenues for income through your business, share your years of knowledge with your community, while freeing you up to focus on other creative avenues.

 

Until now, many of us have used platforms such as Teachable, Podia, Thinkific and Kajabi to host our online course content.

 

But now we have a new, very exciting option – Squarespace Online Courses.

 

If your website is currently hosted on Squarespace and you’re considering creating online courses, this is a video you’ll want to watch. Perfect for those who want to start creating and selling online courses through their Squarespace website.

 

In this video, I'll walk you through:

  • How to easily create a course (it’s super easy), set up pricing plans, create course bundles and discount codes

  • How to create a sales page for your online course

  • What your students will see after purchasing an online course and what they see as they start learning and completing lessons

  • Then I’ll round out with some of what I see are the pros of this platform and a few cons to be aware of before you jump in and start using it.
