Creating a Course
How to create a new course with a title, description, pricing, and cover image.
Setting up a new course on TribeNest is straightforward. You will start by defining the basics -- what the course is about, how much it costs, and what it looks like -- before adding any content.
How to create a course
- Go to Courses in your dashboard sidebar.
- Click the Create Course button.
- Fill in the course details:
- Title -- Give your course a clear, descriptive name. This is what potential students will see first. Must be at least 5 characters.
- Price -- Set the price in your configured currency. Enter 0 if you want to offer the course for free.
- Description -- Use the rich text editor to describe what students will learn, who the course is for, and what is included. This is your sales pitch, so make it compelling.
- Cover Image -- Upload an image that represents your course. This appears on your course listing and helps attract students.
- Intro Video (optional) -- Upload a short video preview that gives potential students a taste of what to expect. This is a great way to boost enrollment.
- Published At (optional) -- Set a specific date and time for the course to go live. Leave this empty to save it as a draft and publish later.
- Click Create Course.
You do not need to have your modules and lessons ready before creating the course. Create the course first, then build out the content over time.
After creating your course
Once your course is created, you will be taken to the course detail page. From here, you can:
- Add modules to organize your course into sections.
- Add lessons within each module.
- Edit the course details at any time.
- Publish or unpublish the course.
Tips for a great course listing
- Be specific with your title. "Advanced Music Production with Ableton" is better than "Music Course."
- Highlight outcomes in the description. Tell students what they will be able to do after completing the course.
- Use a high-quality cover image. It is the first thing people see, so make it count.
- Record a short intro video. Even 60 seconds of you explaining the course can significantly increase sign-ups.
