Ready? Let’s get started.

What Do You Need to Create / Sell an Online Course?

You will need the following things to create an online course.

• A course idea where you can help others learn new skills.
• A domain name. This will be your website’s address (Example, wpbeginner.com).
• A WordPress hosting account. This is where your website’s files are stored.
• An eLearning management add-on (also known as LMS plugin) to create and manage courses.
• Your undivided attention for the next 45 minutes.

You can build an online course with WordPress in less than an hour, and we’ll walk you through every step of the process.

Let’s get started.

Step 1. Setting up Your WordPress Website

There are plenty of website builders and online course platforms that you can use to build your own website. However, we always recommend WordPress because it offers you the maximum flexibility and freedom.

WordPress powers over 39% of all websites on the internet.

There are two types of WordPress, and beginners often end up confusing them.

First, there is WordPress.com which is a hosting service, and then you have the original WordPress.org also known as self-hosted WordPress. See our guide on the difference between WordPress.com vs WordPress.org.

We recommend using WordPress.org because it gives you access to all the WordPress features that you’ll need.

To start a self-hosted WordPress.org website, you’ll need a domain name ($14.99 / year), WordPress hosting ($7.99 / month), and SSL certificate to accept online payments ($69.99 / year).

This is quite a lot of startup money.

Luckily, Bluehost, an officially recommended WordPress hosting provider, has agreed to offer our users a free domain name, free SSL certificate, and a 60% discount on web hosting. Basically, you can get started for $2.75 per month.

After purchasing hosting, head over to our guide on how to create a WordPress website for step by step set up instructions.

Step 2. Install and Setup MemberPress LMS Plugin

Now that your WordPress website is ready, the next step is to install and setup a Learning Management System add-on. This will allow you to create your online course and add it to your website.

First, you need to install and activate the MemberPress plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

MemberPress is the best LMS plugin for WordPress. It is an all-in-one solution with complete course management, lesson plans, subscriptions, access control, payment management, and more.

Course creators around the world use MemberPress to create profitable courses and earn over $400 million dollars every year.

Upon activation, you need to visit MemberPress » Settings page to enter your license key. You can find this information under your account on the MemberPress website.

Once you have entered the information, click on the ‘Activate License Key’ button to store your settings.

Next, you need to switch to the ‘Payments’ tab and click on the (+) add button to set up a payment gateway. MemberPress supports PayPal and Stripe (Authorize.net support included in Pro and Plus plans).

Simply select your payment gateway and then fill in the required information. You can also set up multiple payment methods by clicking on the (+) button again and repeat the process.

Don’t forget to click on the ‘Update Options’ button to save your payment settings.

Step 3. Creating Your First Course

The course creation process in MemberPress makes it super easy to create and manage online courses. It comes with a very easy to use course builder that allows you to create courses, add sections, edit lessons, and more.

First, you need to visit MemberPress » Courses page where you’ll see a button to install and activate the courses addon.

Clicking on it will automatically install and activate the MemberPress courses addon, and you’ll be redirected to the courses page.

Simply click on the ‘Add New’ button at the top to create your first course. This will launch the MemberPress course builder screen.

First, you’ll see the ‘Course Page’ where you need to provide a course topic, title, and description. MemberPress course builder uses the default WordPress block editor, so you can get creative and make an impressive course page layout.

You can also add ‘Course Categories’ and ‘Course Tags’, set a featured image, and provide a course page excerpt under the course page settings.

Step 4. Adding Sections and Lessons to Your Course

MemberPress also makes it easy to quickly start adding course contents for each course without switching to a different page.

Simply switch to the ‘Curriculum’ tab and click on the Add Section button to create your course outline.

You need to provide a title for a section and then click on the Add Lesson button under the section to add lessons.

After adding a lesson, you can start adding lesson content by clicking on the edit button next to each lesson.

You will be asked to save your changes after that your lesson will open up with the familiar block editor screen.

You can add your lesson content here with the full advantage of the block editor. This allows you to upload images, embed videos, add text, offer downloadable digital products such as powerpoints, PDF eBooks, actionable worksheets, and other course materials.

Don’t forget to click on the Update button to save your lesson. You can return back to the Course by clicking on the ‘Back’ link at the top of the editor.

Repeat the process to add more lessons to your course.

Once you are finished adding course content, don’t forget to click on the ‘Publish’ button to make your course accessible to eligible users.

Step 5. Creating Course Membership Subscriptions

MemberPress allows you to easily sell online courses with subscription plans. You can create as many membership plans as you like, and users can select a plan to pay for your online course.

You can also sell all your courses under single membership, offer free courses, or you can add different courses for each plan. This depends on how you plan to structure your sales funnel.

A lot of people use a combination of free courses and paid courses to build their audience and maximize passive income.

To add a membership, simply go to MemberPress » Memberships page and click on the Add New button.

Next, you will reach the create new membership page. From here, you first need to provide a title for this membership plan and then add some description.

After that, you can enter the membership pricing under ‘Membership Terms’ box on the right. You can also choose the access duration from lifetime, expire (recurring), or fixed expire.

Next, you need to scroll down to the Membership Options section. This where you can configure advanced membership options like sign up button, welcome email, pricing box, and more.

Once you are finished, you can click on the Publish button to save your changes.

Repeat the process if you need to create more membership plans.

Step 6. Restrict Course Access to Membership Plans

The best part about using MemberPress is its powerful access control rules. They allow you to decide who gets access to your online course.

Simply, go to MemberPress » Rules page and click on the ‘Add New’ button.

This will bring you to the Rule wizard page. First, you need to select the content you want to protect under the ‘Protected’ content section.

For instance, here we have chosen a single course under the protected content.

Below that, you need to select the conditions that need to be matched for users to access that content. For instance, we have chosen our membership plan here.

Don’t forget to click on the ‘Save Rule’ button to save your settings.

Step 7. Adding a Link to Course Sign up and Register Page

MemberPress makes it easy to easily send users to the page where they can register and sign up for your course by purchasing a membership plan.

It automatically generates a link for each membership plan that you can add anywhere on your site.

Simply edit a membership plan and you’ll see the link below the membership title. You can also manually type in your domain name followed by /register/your-membership-title/

You can add this link anywhere on your website in a post, page, or navigation menu and it will take users to the registration page.

You can even share this link in your sales pages, webinars, podcasts, Facebook group, social media, and other traffic channels.

Pro Tip: We recommend using PrettyLinks to create memorable short links to share in podcasts, webinars, and social media.

Step 8. Preview & Customize Your Online Course

MemberPress allows you to use the classroom mode by default, which means your course pages and content will always look good regardless of which WordPress theme you are using.

You can simply go to view a course by visiting:

https://ift.tt/3qXATi5

Don’t forget to replace the example.com with your own domain name.

You’ll see all your courses listed there. You can click on the ‘Preview as’ menu to see how it would look to the logged out users.

Clicking on a course will open the course, and you will be able to see course overview, sections, and lessons. It is super easy to navigate and also keeps tracks of user’s progress so that they can continue where they left off.

You can also customize the course page templates by visiting Appearance » Customize page and clicking on the ‘MemberPress Classroom’ tab.

Here, you can upload your brand logo and change colors to match rest of your website.

Don’t forget to click on the Publish button to save your changes.

Step 9. Selling Your Online Course with More Powerful Features

Both MemberPress and WordPress are super flexible. This allows you to use them with any other tools to grow your business and reach more users.

For example, you can create a powerful membership site / community that offers paid content and perks along with courses.

You can also use MemberPress with other LMS plugins like LearnDash. This allows you to use LearnDash for course creation and use MemberPress for powerful subscription, payments, memberships, and other features.

Alternatively, if you want to sell other items like physical goods related to your course, swags, etc, then you can use WooCommerce to manage payments and orders. This will let you build a proper online store for your website.

Step 10. Promoting Your Online Course

The other advantage of WordPress + MemberPress combo is that it also makes it easier for you to promote your online course and make money online.

Let’s take a look at few ways to promote your online course, attract target audience, and make it successful.

1. Create Landing Pages for Your Online Courses

Your WordPress theme would be able to help you create a highly engaging website. However, you may need to quickly create landing pages to describe course details, showcase instructors, highlight special offers, etc.

Custom landing pages and sales pages are proven to increase course sales.

We recommend using SeedProd. It is the best WordPress page builder and allows you to create professional landing page layouts without writing any code.

For detailed instructions, see our guide on how to create a custom page in WordPress.

2. Learn The SEO Basics

Search engines are the #1 traffic source for most websites on the internet. This is why you’ll need to learn how to make your online course website rank higher in search engines.

With the help of WordPress plugins and some basic SEO best practices, you’d be easily able to compete with the big guys.

We now recommend users to use All in One SEO for WordPress plugin.

To learn more, see our complete WordPress SEO guide for beginners with step by step instructions.

3. Track Marketing Data

A lot of beginners develop their marketing strategy based on guesswork. You don’t have to do that when you can get actual data to make informed decisions.

For that, you’ll need MonsterInsights. It helps you install Google Analytics and see human-readable reports inside your WordPress dashboard.

You can see where your visitors are coming from, what they do on your website, your most popular pages, and more. You can then improve your website to improve your conversions and boost sales.

4. Start Building an Email List

After a while, you would notice that most visitors who come to your website don’t sign up for your online course. The problem is that you would not be able to reach out to those users once they leave your website.

To address this, you need to start an email newsletter. This way you would be able to collect email addresses and reach out to those users and bring them back to your website.

We recommend using Constant Contact or ConvertKit for email marketing.

If you’re looking for alternatives, see our comparison of the best email marketing services.

5. Convert Website Visitors into Subscribers and Customers

Most visitors who come to your website will leave without enrolling into your online course. This is why it’s important to convert those abandoning visitors into subscribers or paying customers.

This is called conversion optimization.

The best tool for the job is OptinMonster. It is the best conversion optimization software on the market and helps you grow your business with more leads and sales.

For more details, see our guide on how to convert website visitors into customers.

How can I create high-quality videos for my course?

Videos are an important element of online courses. It helps you better demonstrate your subject matter expertise and connect with your audience.

When first starting out, you don’t need to invest in fancy video equipments. A good Ultra HD webcam like Logitech Brio is sufficient for most users.

There are many online course platforms that you can use to build and sell courses.

This includes Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, Udemy, etc.

You can use any of them alongside your WordPress website. Depending on your needs, these platforms may offer an easier online course creation solution.

However they’re generally more expensive and/or take a revenue share from your course sales.

Which is the best webinar platform for course creators?

Nothing beats live webinars when it comes to online education. You can use to boost your audience engagement and improve membership retention.

We have compared the best webinar platforms here.

Most of these solutions will let you create live webinars, automated evergreen webinars, and come with tons of webinar engagement features.

How can I validate my course idea?

Creating online course content takes a lot of time and effort. This is why we always recommend users to validate their course idea before hands.

There are several ways to validate a course idea.

You can run a poll or survey on your website, ask for audience feedback on social media, or look at your most popular blog posts or YouTube videos because often the most popular ones can be turned into courses.

What’s the one “little-known” thing that I can do to make my online course successful?

While there are many tactics that you can use to make your online course idea successful and profitable.

The little-known tactic that works really well is case studies. Unfortunately not enough course creators use them.

A case study allows you to highlight the most successful students in your community. This not only provides encouragement to others, but it can also help those who don’t know how to take maximum advantage of your products.

We use case studies in many of our own businesses for social proof to boost conversions, but also to help our new users find encouragement and motivation.

How to Create a Services Section in WordPress

Do you want to add a services section to your WordPress website?

Many professionals, small companies, and agencies need a way to showcase their services across their website.

In this article, we’ll show you how to easily create a services section in WordPress. We’ll also share how to collect leads from your services section with a contact form.

Why Create a Services Section in WordPress?

Normally, you can create custom pages in WordPress for each service you offer.

After that, you can add links to those pages in your navigation menu at the top or in the page content.

A services section on your homepage lets you quickly highlight the services to potential customers and clients. It is usually a compact area in the layout of your homepage or landing pages.

Here’s an example of how a typical services section could look:

This helps you provide a quick overview of different services with a call to action where users can get more details or fill out a form.

That being said, let’s take a look at how to easily make a services section in WordPress and then add it to any page on your website.

Create Custom Homepage with Page Builders

If you’re looking for the most customizable way to add a services section to your homepage, then you may want to consider using a custom landing page.

You can use one of the many drag & drop WordPress page builders to create a custom page with services section without writing any code.

For custom landing pages, we recommend SeedProd. It’s used by over 1 million websites and comes with tons of pre-made section templates and landing page templates.

If you’re looking for a SeedProd alternative, then you can take a look at Beaver Builder, Divi, or Elementor because they all will let you customize your homepage to add a completely custom services section to your homepage.

If you don’t want to use a page builder, then don’t worry. There are other WordPress plugins that can let you add a services section using Gutenberg.

Creating a Services Section in WordPress using Block Editor

First you need to install and activate the free Service Box Showcase plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, go to the Service Box » Add New Service Box page in your WordPress admin to create a services box.

Here, you need to enter a title for your services area and choose a design option. There are 2 different designs to choose from in the free version.

Once you’ve done this, simply scroll down the page a little. Here, you will see two sample services, with a title, description, and icon.

Go ahead and type in a title and description for your services. After that click on the current icon, and then select the one you want to use.

It’s also best practice to add a link to a page for further information about the service. This gives you the space to let people know how to book and pay for your service.

You can also add more service boxes using the ‘Add New Service Box’ button. Simply click on this to create as many boxes as you need.

Once you’ve created your service boxes, click on the Publish button at the top of the page to save your changes. Don’t worry, this won’t add the service section to your site straight away.

You are now ready to add this services section to your home page or any post or page. You can even add it sidebar or footer widget-area.

Adding Your Service Section to a WordPress Page

To add the services section into a page, you’ll need to copy the shortcode generated by the plugin. You can find under the service boxes.

After copying the shortcode, you can add it to any WordPress post or page. Simply edit the page where you want to display the services section or create a new one.

On the post edit screen, click on the (+) button to add a new block. You need to look for the shortcode block and then click on it to insert it into the content area.

Next, you just need to paste your shortcode into the block settings.

After that you can save or publish your page and preview it. Here’s how the services section looks live on our demo website:

Styling Your Services Section

The plugin gives you some basic options to easily change the appearance of your services section.

Simply go to Service Box » All Service Box page in your WordPress admin area and then click on the services section you created earlier.

This will open the services edit screen where you’ll find the styling options in the right column. From here, you can change fonts, colors, show or hide icons, ‘Read more’ link, and more.

Don’t forget to click the ‘Update’ button at the top of the page to save your changes.

Creating Request a Quote Form For your Services

Now that you have added a services section, the next step is to convert those users. Many businesses do this by adding a request for a quote form.

It is basically like any contact form but with a few differences to match your business needs. This allows customers to send you a message, and you can then sell them your service.

The easiest way to do this is by using WPForms, which is the best WordPress forms plugin. It allows you to easily add any type of forms to your website using a simple drag and drop tool.

First, you need to install and activate the WPForms plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you need to visit the WPForms » Settings page to enter your license key. You can find this information under your account on WPForms website.

Next, you need to visit the WPForms » Addons page and click on the Install button next to the ‘Form Template Pack Addon’.

This addon contains several additional templates including one to create a request a quote form.

Now you are ready to create your form.

Simply go to the WPForms » Add New to launch the WPForms form builder. First, you need to type in a name for your form, then select the Request a Quote template.

WPForms will now load the form editor with all the entries you usually need in a ‘Request for Quote’ form. These include Name, Business/Organization, Email, Phone, and a box where the customer can type their request:

You can easily add new fields from the left column or edit existing fields by simply clicking on them. You can also move the fields up and down to rearrange them.

Once you are satisfied with the form simply click on the Save button at the top to save your changes.

You can now add this form to any WordPress post or page. Simply edit the page where you want to add the form and the WPForms block to the content area.

From the block settings, you need to select the form you created earlier from the drop-down menu. WPForms will load a preview of the form on screen.

You can now go ahead and save or publish your page to see your form live on your WordPress site.

Want more help creating your form, setting up notifications, and putting your form on your website? Just check out our step by step tutorial on creating a contact form.

Tip: You can also use WPForms to take bookings and even to accept credit card payments.

How to Add New Users and Authors to Your WordPress Blog

Do you want to add new users and authors to your blog?

WordPress comes with a built-in user management system. This lets you add users with different roles and permission levels.

In this article, we will show you how to add new users and authors to your WordPress website.

Adding a New User or Author on Your WordPress Website

There are 3 ways to add new users to your WordPress website. You can add users manually, let users register themselves for free, or create a paid membership site where users pay to register.

Here’s what we’re going to cover in this article. Simply click on the quick links to jump straight to the section you need.

• Manually Adding a New User or Author to Your Website
• Understanding User Roles in WordPress
• Opening Your WordPress Site for Anyone to Register for Free
• Creating a Paid Membership Program for Your Site

Manually Adding a New User or Author to Your Website

If you want to add a small number of people to your website, then this is easy to do with WordPress’s built-in user management system.

This method is ideal for:

• Small businesses that have several different employees managing their website.
• Organizations such as churches and nonprofits that have volunteers updating their website.
• Blogs with multiple authors, such as a fashion blog that you are writing with some friends.
• Online stores that have several people managing inventory, shipping items, etc.

You simply need to go to the Users » Add New page in your WordPress admin area. Next, you just have to fill out the form to create a new user.

On the form, you first need to enter a username. The user can use this or their email address to login.

Tip: The WordPress username can’t be easily changed later, but all the other details can.

Next, enter the user’s email address. Double-check that you are using the correct email address. Users will need this in order to reset their passwords and receive email notifications.

After that, you can enter the first name, last name, and website URL. Since these are optional fields, you can also leave them blank. Users can edit their own profiles to complete these fields later.

In the next step, you will need to choose a password. We recommend using an online strong password generator for this purpose.

Tip: You can use the ‘Generate password’ button to automatically create a strong password.

Below the password field, you will see a checkbox to send the user an email. If you check this, the user will receive an email letting them know how to log in. This will also have a link, so they can set a different password if they want.

The last option on the page is to choose a WordPress user role from the dropdown list.

Each user role comes with a different set of capabilities. Subscriber is the least powerful role, and Administrator is the most powerful role. You need to choose a role depending on what tasks a user will be performing on your website.

You may already know what role you want to give your user. If so, select the role, then click the ‘Add New User’ button at the bottom of the screen.

If you’re unsure about the role, don’t worry. We have a detailed explanation of the roles in the next section of this article.

Tip: Some plugins create additional user roles. For instance, WooCommerce adds ‘Customer’ and ‘Shop Manager’ roles. All in One SEO adds the ‘SEO Manager’ and ‘SEO Editor’ roles. Simply check the plugin’s documentation to find out about any additional roles that you see in this list.

Understanding User Roles in WordPress

WordPress comes with these default user roles:

• Administrator
• Editor
• Author
• Contributor
• Subscriber

Tip: If you have a multisite installation of WordPress, there is also a ‘Super Admin’ role. These users can manage all the websites, whereas regular Administrators manage just one site.

Administrator

An administrator can perform all tasks on your WordPress site.

You should only assign this role to users who you fully trust. You should also feel confident about their technical skills.

With the administrator user role, a user can install plugins, change themes, delete content, and even delete other users. This includes other administrators.

You can learn more about the Administrator role here.

Editor

An editor can add, edit, publish, and delete their own WordPress posts. They can also do all of these actions for posts by all other users.

They cannot access website settings, plugins, themes, and other admin features.

This role is useful if you have an editor for your site who manages a team of authors and publishes content on a regular basis.

You can learn more about the Editor role here.

Author

Authors can add, edit, and publish their own posts. They can upload files, too.

They can’t edit or publish other people’s posts or access features like plugins, themes, settings, and tools.

You may want to use a plugin to restrict authors so they can only write in a specific category.

You could also let authors revise their published posts. Again, you will need to use a plugin to extend the Author user role.

You can learn more about the Author role here.

Contributor

A contributor can add and edit their own posts but cannot publish them.

However, they cannot edit other users’ posts or access features like plugins, themes, settings, and tools.

It’s important to note that contributors cannot upload media files, such as images. The easiest way to get around this is to get contributors to upload their post’s image(s) through a file upload form.

That way, the image(s) can be saved straight to the WordPress media library. This makes it easy for an editor or administrator to add them to the post.

You can learn more about the Contributor role here.

Subscriber

The subscriber role does not let users add or edit posts in any way.

With the default settings, subscribers can create a profile and save their details. This lets them enter them more quickly when leaving comments.

You can also use a membership plugin or LMS plugin to create members-only content that is available to subscribers. We will come onto that later in this article.

You can learn more about the Subscriber role here.

To find out more about all the different user roles in WordPress and how they relate to one another, check out our beginner’s guide to WordPress user roles and permissions.

Managing Users in WordPress

As an administrator, you can add and remove users from your WordPress site at any time. After you have added a user, you can edit their profile at any time and change any information including passwords.

Simply click on the Users tab in your WordPress admin to go to the user page. You can edit or delete a user at any time.

You can edit the user’s profile to change their password, change their role, and more. You can also bulk edit users to change their role, if you want to upgrade or downgrade several users’ role at the same time.

Users can also edit their own profile by going to Users » Profile in the WordPress dashboard. They can add a profile picture and change most of their details, but they cannot change their role.

Open Your WordPress Site for Anyone to Register for Free

What if you want to let users register on your site for free?

It would be a lot of work to add each user manually. Instead, you can let them create their own account.

First, you need to go to Settings » General in your WordPress admin and check the ‘Anyone can register’ box.

By default, new users will be given the Subscriber role. Go ahead and change this to any role you want using the dropdown.

Warning: We recommend only letting users register as Subscribers or Contributors. If you let users register as Authors, they could publish a post without approval. Never use Administrator as the default setting.

Don’t forget to click the ‘Save Changes’ button at the bottom of the page to store your changes.

You also need to add a login form to your site. The best way to do this is with the WPForms plugin. Just follow our guide on how to allow user registration on your WordPress site for help with this.

Tip: You can also disable the WordPress admin bar for subscribers or other user roles.

Creating a Paid Membership Program on Your Website

Another way to add new users to your site is to create a paid membership program that users sign up for.

This allows you to sell members-only content, add premium content behind paywall, sell online courses, and more.

To do this, you need a WordPress membership plugin.

We recommend using MemberPress. It’s the best membership and course creation plugin with all the functionality and flexibility you need.

MemberPress lets you lock specific posts and pages on your site so that only registered, paying users can access them. Many sites offer premium content like this as a way to make money online.

With MemberPress, it’s easy to create different access levels. For instance, you might offer a Bronze, Silver, and Gold plan. Or, you could create separate courses for users to sign up for.

You also get access to powerful tools such as MemberPress’s reports to show you your average member lifetime value, how many members you have in total, and more.

MemberPress allows you to add drip content to create evergreen membership site, and you can even sell group memberships in WordPress.

For a step by step tutorial on setting up MemberPress on your site, check out our ultimate guide to creating a WordPress membership site.
