Course Description

Chapter 1 - Creating Your First Course

There’s no better way to learn than by getting your feet wet, so we’re getting you started building a course right away! In Chapter 1, you’ll learn the basics of your Thinkific Admin dashboard, how to create a course landing page, how to add your course content (and upload everything with our bulk importer), and how to set a course price or payment plan so you can get paid (and make it rain). You will also learn some handy customization tricks, like changing your landing page URL, personalizing your course card, and collecting customer testimonials and reviews for your course. Finally, you get to press the big green button and publish your first course!

Chapter 2 - Setting Up Your Course Site

Once you’ve created your courses, it’s time to set up and brand your course site! In Chapter 2, you’ll learn how to make a course site landing page, how to categorize your courses, add additional pages to your course site, and customize the signup form. You can also bring your unique flavor to your course site by branding it (logo and colors oh my!), changing the main site URL, and customizing the navigation bar. We want to make sure your Thinkific site is 100% you.

Chapter 3 - Marketing Your First Course

Chapter 3 is all about course marketing. Coming up with marketing strategies might sound intimidating, but Thinkific has all the tools you need to build a successful marketing plan. In this chapter you’ll learn how to use coupons to offer discounts on your courses, create sales widgets to sell your courses, set up affiliates to promote for you, and integrate your system with third party tools. You’ll also learn how to share the wealth (literally) by splitting revenue with other instructors or content creators in your courses.

Chapter 4 - Managing Your Site’s Users

Once students are enrolled in your courses, you’ll need to communicate with them efficiently. Chapter 4 teaches you how to manage your site’s users. We’ll show you how to create instructor profiles, view student profiles, enroll new users in your courses, export lists of site users, and send mass and automated emails. You can also be your students’ personal cheerleader by viewing their progress through your courses with progress reports.

Chapter 5 - Managing Your Site’s Content

Chapter 5 teaches you how to manage your course site and course content. We’ll show you how to manage the videos in your video library as well as how to view analytics to see how people are interacting with the content. You will also learn how to export quiz and survey answers and handle publication requests from course administrators.

Chapter 6 - The Thinkific Student Experience

Your students are the heart and soul of your course, so in this final chapter we’re making sure you understand the ins and outs of the student experience. Learn how students navigate through your course site, how they log in and sign up for your courses, and how they manage their own student accounts. We also show you how your course admins use Thinkific and how they request permission from you to create, edit, and publish courses.

When I first started with photography in 2009, I had to jump over a lot of hurdles. I had no idea if I would ever be able to share the photos I was taking with confidence. So, I made a lot of mistakes, and learned as much as I could along the way, and here I am. Now let me save you the time and trouble of learning the hard way.I’ve helped hundreds of people get to where they want to go with photography. I promise to you that with your passion and my know how, I’ll get you there too.
