How To Create An Online Course Website In Wordpress Using LearnDash

Hello beautiful people! My name is Ferdy and in this video, I will show you, step by step, how you can create your own course website where people can buy your courses and when they pay the money, that money goes to your bank account and they get access to the course immediately all on autopilot. Let me show you what we will cover in this tutorial. If you don't have it yet, I will show you how you can get your own domain name and web hosting. Then we will install WordPress the best tool to make a website and then we will install the LearnDash plugin that will enable us to sell courses on our website. When we've done that we create our first course, add sections, also known as chapters and lessons. I will show you how to create lessons with a page builder and how to create video lessons. Then we will adjust the style of the course layout, so it becomes easy to navigate through the course. We will use WooCommerce to sell your course and cart flows to create a nice landing page with a checkout. We will integrate the checkout with Paypal and Stripe so people can pay the course with the credit card and with Paypal. And if you want to, there are also more payment providers that you can enable within your website. After that, we will add a second course to the website and even sell a bundle of courses with discounts so people can buy multiple courses at once with discount. If you have multiple courses, you can also sell a membership where people get access to all the courses for a monthly fee or you can give them lifetime access, so they pay one time and they get access to all the courses for the rest of their lives. We will make everything look better and then at the end of this tutorial you will have an amazing automated course website that will give people access to the course when they pay for the course. So that is what we will cover, let me show you the end result. So this is the website that we are going to make and I decided that when people buy this course, they get access to my Facebook group, so that's why I have this link over here. People can go to their account and when they click on it, while they are not a member yet they can log in over here, they see an overview of all the courses. So I go to the home page and I see three different courses over here, affiliate marketing course for $197, the Photoshop course for $67, and then the combination for just $10. I did this for the sake of the tutorial, so when I buy this I get those courses combined in my account and I can get access to them immediately. Or I can go for the lifetime deal for just $997. Well this is only you have like five or six or more courses and the total amount when people would buy everything individually would be more than $997. It can also be that you let people pay 197 dollars per year, and they can say, you know what for 497 dollars, you can have this for a lifetime. So that's what you can do, and maybe I'm interested in this course. Well if I click over here and I'm not logged in yet, this is what I will see. -- Affiliate marketing course, I'm not enrolled, this is the price and I can click here to get access. If you want to, you can place information over here about the course and then below that, we see an overview of what we will cover and if I think hey I want to click here it says, "You don't currently have access to this content." But I have a free sample lesson, so if I click on this lesson which is a sample lesson, I don't need to be logged in, I just can check it out and then you'll see the overview. So I can go to the previous lesson, I can go to the next lesson. Here we see where we are in the website and I can follow this lesson for free. So maybe you want to give a few sample lessons away so people can see what kind of person you are, what you have to offer and if they like your teaching style. So a nice video, really nice and then if I want to click on the next lesson, it is not possible because I don't have access to that area. So I'm like okay, I want to buy this. I can click over here and go directly to the Paypal or credit card checkout but I prefer to have a landing page over here, so I click here. Then people can watch a video where I talk more about the Affiliate Marketing course. Here's more information, I can make this page as big as I want, I can have testimonials, I can have videos, I can have proof all that stuff, and then if people scroll down, they can leave their details over here. So I have my details over here already, and what I can do now, over here I can create an account username, so right now I say ferdykorpershoek, that's my username and I create a password and it says it is a strong password. Okay. I decided for this website, they only let people pay with credit card. You can also add multiple payment options. So I leave my details over here from my credit card, and if people want to, they can save their credit card details, it will be encrypted so I can see nothing but then if the buy the next course on my website they, don't have to fill in these details again. I click on place order and that means that I pay $197 dollars and in exchange, I get access to this amazing affiliate marketing course. It says congratulations on for your purchase. You can go to your account and there you see your courses and we can scroll down and see some information about the course we just bought. I scroll up and I go to my account page. Now over here, if I scroll down I see I have one course the affiliate marketing course and then over here I see I have enrolled this course but this one I can buy and this one I can buy. So I click on affiliate marketing course and now I have access to all the lessons. So if I go to video 2.3, I see the video over here. I can check it. If I watch this video, or when the video ends, it automatically marks it as complete. It's not at the end yet, so I will click on mark complete. Then I go to the next video and I see I completed one percent of the course. I can also navigate over here, go to a different video. I can also decide as a course maker that they should follow the whole course in chronological order. So that is how you can do that. If I would go back over here, and I want to buy also this course, I click over here, then I need to fill in those details again because I did not save them. I placed the order and then automatically it will be added to my course overview. If we go to stripe, and it says over here today we made $197 and we paid out the 22nd of march which is eight days, all on autopilot, and I will show you step by step how you can achieve this. In the description of the video, I have timestamps, so if you want to go to a certain part of this video, you can go to the description and click on the timestamp so you can go directly to that part of the video. If I go too fast for you, you can click over here and slow down the speed of the tutorial. I've been making tutorials now for over five years and people seem to love my videos. I do my best to get better and better so I can reach more people with my tutorials. If you have any question or feedback feel free to leave a comment below the video. Besides this in-depth tutorial, I will also create follow-up tutorials where I will talk deeper about subjects like email marketing in combination with your website, so you can send automated email sequences to people that are interested in your course. I will talk about how to use Elementor pro with LearnDash, how to use card flows pro with your website. The great thing, this is not just a demo website I create, this is a real live website. I will sell my affiliate marketing course in this video so everything I do over here is with the purpose to make more sales and help people to become successful to the subjects I teach. So it's not just a demo website. This is real life for me and everything I do to make it look better, to make it sell better to promote it better, that's what I will make tutorials about and so you can learn along with me how this process goes. In the end, I want to make a lot of sales because I think my course is amazing. So if you want to be updated with all those new tutorials that are coming up about LearnDash, about WordPress, feel free to subscribe to this Youtube Channel. Also feel free to like this video and watch as long as you want watch, it three times four times. If you really want to take everything out of it, watch it at least 53 times. Yes, I'm serious. No, I am just kidding. Watch it, do the steps I take and you'll have the same end result that I will have. So without further ado let me talk about the four steps we're going to take in order to get up and running with our website. If you're starting from scratch I can show you how to get a domain name and web hosting and I can give you 60% discount. After that we will install WordPress and then we will get the Astra theme and the LearnDash plugin then we will create our amazing course website, and if you have a domain name and web hosting already, and you have installed WordPress, then you can go to step three and I will show you the timestamp so you can go immediately to that point in the video. So the first two things we need in order to create a course website are a domain name and web hosting. If you have this already that's great, then you can skip this part, if you don't have it then you can go to webhostingfk.com, hit enter, and you will be redirected to NameHero. Name hero is in my opinion the best web hosting provider there is. Why? Let me give you a few reasons, there are more, but one, your website will load fast even if you go for the cheapest package. Why? Because NameHero has invested in light speed which is way faster than Apache which is used with a lot of different web hosting companies. Here you see an overview what the difference is when you use WordPress, the second one -- the prices are really competitive. You get premium web hosting for an affordable rate which is amazing. And the third one, really important --- the support. You can call them 24/7, you can open a live chat 24/7 and you can leave a ticket and they will get back to you. So three ways to get support and that's what I love about NameHero. Now one of the reasons, you get such affordable prizes here at NameHero is because I get an exclusive discount for you up to 66% instead of the regular 50% that you get at NameHero. And if you want to see what the plans are, click over here on this button or scroll down and there are four packages. The Starter Cloud, the Plus Cloud, Turbo Cloud and the Business Cloud. So what are the differences between those packages? With the Starter Cloud you can start with one domain name. So if you're really on a budget this is where you can start. You have one website, one gigabyte of ram, it's just like your computer, the more ram you have the faster your computer will remain. Also if you're doing a lot of things at the same time. So if you get a lot of visitors at the same time, then you can upgrade but I'm talking about hundreds of visitors per day. You have unlimited SSD storage. What does it mean? You can have 250,000 files on your website, which is more than enough. You have free SSL, that means that you can make your website secure. With other web hosting companies that can cost money, here it is free even with the Starter Cloud Plan and free website migration. So if you have a website already, you want to transfer it to name hero you can do that for free. Then we have the plus cloud, what is the big difference? Well, you have more gigabyte of RAM, so more people can go to your website at the same time and you can have up to seven websites and the great thing is when you get this package, you can have seven different domain names and all store them under one web hosting package. You get 60 discount, you pay $5.18 per month and then you can have seven websites. So that is less than one dollar per website per month. So my opinion, if you're starting get this package and if you're really like okay money doesn't matter, I just want to go with the best of the best of the best, then I suggest you go for the Turbo Cloud. You can have unlimited websites, so you can even become a web design agency, start to make websites for clients and host them all on your website and charge them 20 per month for web hosting depending on what you want to offer, And the great thing about this package is that your websites become even faster using NVME storage which is faster than SSD. So your website will go so fast and the great thing is those websites are already fast this one becomes even faster. You have the speed boost plugin and you will have a free domain which is quite nice. Then if you're like, you know, I have too much money. I just want to get the best of the best of the best, then you can go for the Business Cloud. And then I'm talking like if you have 50 websites hosting on NameHero then I would go for the business cloud. The great thing is you can always upgrade later. So you can start with the Plus Cloud for instance, and then later go to the Turbo Cloud. Send them an email, they will fix it for you. What I want to do now, I want to start with a new website. So I want to start with the plus cloud so the whole year, I can decide if I want to create a second website or a third one and I don't pay anything extra, except for the domain name. So in order to purchase it, I scroll down and I go to order now. Then we need to register a new domain name. Well, a domain name can be registered only once, so if I say I want to have facebook.com, and I click on search -- facebook is unavailable. So you need to have a unique domain name and I would like to go with ferdywp, ferdy WordPress, then can have .com, you can have a lot of different extensions. If you want to go international, I would go for .com, and you can go for your own country. So for instance my country's the Netherlands, I can have this one or the uk. Well, as you see there are a lot of extensions over here. So there are so many. But I would go internationally for .com, and or locally for your own country extension. Talking about names, if you want to start a new business, use that business name, if it's already taken you can become creative with your name. I highly suggest you always have your own first and last name as .com. You never know what you want to do in your life, and if you have it you have it. So I go for ferdywp.com. I click on search, and it is available and it's for free. If I go for two or three years at once. So I click on continue and I'll explain that to you. Over here we can choose our billing cycle. The great thing is the amazing discount of 60 will be applicable on the first invoice. So if you go for one year, you get one year of discount, two years of discount or three years of discount. The longer you go, the more extra discounts you get as you see, save 30 percent or sixty percent. So the longer you go, the cheaper it becomes. I want to go with one year and then there are a few extra things we can take over here. Would you like to add dedicated ip address. Well I don't need all these things. Auto encrypt is free. We don't need this one, so I click on continue, and then really important, what we need is id protection. It only costs less than three dollars per year, and this will make sure that when you sign up spammers that will see all the new websites in the world will not spam you with a lot of things, like hey let me create a logo or do SEO or create a website for you or they will call you. You don't want that. So if you use id protection they cannot see all your details. So click on continue, and the great thing is this is crazy -- the total amount we have to pay is less than 100. With other web hosting companies, really good ones also, you pay around 150, sometimes more and here below $100. I really like it. We save a lot of money and what we have, we have the web hosting plus cloud. So we can have seven websites and we have our domain registration. And since I go for one year, I need to pay around $16 for it. But this is great, this is for 12 months of web hosting and a domain name. You can start your business for just seven dollars per month. So what I can do now? I can create a new account. So I will leave my details over here. That's not my name, this is my name. My last name, my email address, my phone number, and then my company name. I have a company with my wife it's called Ferdy and Anna Media. I'm from this address, so you need to fill in your details over here. How did you find us? Well through YouTube, because I'm showing you, and then you have a support pin. If you want to call them, or have a chat session with them, they ask for a pin so you can leave it here and then they know you're really you. Now we need to create a password of course, make it really secure or you can generate one and then you need to confirm your password. Then, I scroll down and you can pay with credit card, Paypal, Coinbase or Credit Card with Stripe. Well, I want to go with credit card, so I can leave my details over here. I scroll down, do I want to receive emails for special savings? Well there's a great thing, well every year there's black friday and cyber monday, and then they gave huge discounts for extending the service. So you can get some money on your NameHero account and the name hero adds extra money for you. So in that way, you have discount for the next invoice. And if you have read and agreed to the terms of service, you can check this. Keep in mind that when you got here through webhostingfk.com, you don't pay more but you get extra discount and I get a commission. So I see that as a win-win situation. NameHero will check all your details and see if there's no fraud. Well if it's you that's filling in the information, then it should be fine. So I can go to the checkout, and it says order confirmation, order is placed. If you have any questions about your order please open a support ticket from your client area, and quote your order number. I want to go to the client area. So I want to congratulate you, you have your own domain name and web hosting. That is amazing. And the great thing, with NameHero, your website is live immediately. The only thing is, if you go to ferdywp.com, it looks a little bit weird. So we need to install WordPress, but the great thing is, it's not with all web hosting companies that your website is live immediately. If you want to install WordPress, you click over here on My Cloud, and then you click over here on Web hosting Plus Cloud. Here we can log into the CPanel, and now we can install WordPress we need to scroll down, or we search over here for WordPress, and there it is WordPress manager by Softaculous, click on it, and then I click on install. So we see the newest version of WordPress. Here we can choose our domain name, if you have more domain names you can select one and then here I want to select https, so our website will be secure from moment one. We need to remove wp otherwise your website will be installed on yourdomainname.com/wp. No, you want it to be in the root directory. So people go to ferdywp.com and then they go to my website. Here you can give your website a name, and a site description and you really need to do this now otherwise, yeah you can do this only once. No, I am just kidding. You can do this in the website, I will leave it for now, and we will do it later in the website. Here we can choose a username ferdykorp for instance, and a beautiful password. You can let it be created or create your own, let's see if I can go stronger than 65. In real life I'm not that strong, so I rather be strong on the internet with my password. So I can say to people that I'm strong. Man, I'm so strong. And then your admin email, you need to have access to this email address and then you can select your site language, you can install two plugins, the classic editor and the limit login attempts, and I don't need those. I click over here, and I close it because it looks too complicated. This is all fine. You can trust them. This is all fine and we don't need to install a theme, we will do it from within WordPress, and if you want to you can send the email installation details to an email address, but I leave it as it is. I click on install, and there it is, "congratulations, the software was installed successfully." So if I would go to this link, WordPress is installed. We just got this domain name, and it's live already. This area over here, it does not look good but it means you are live at this moment. 10 minutes ago, we bought web hosting and the domain name, and now we are live. That's amazing. So this is the front end of the website, everybody that will see your domain or go there hit enter, they will see your website. But we want to change the website, we want to configure things and in order to do that, we need to go to the back end of the website. The website has a front end, and that's what you will see, what the visitors will see and there is a backend. You can click over here and then you'll see the backend. Right now you see, it's not secure, and it can be that you also see that over here, that's the case sometimes, this secures sometimes up, but in the end everything will be secure. So in order to do that, you need to go to the backend and before we do that, I want to talk about the backend a bit more. And if I click over here, I go to the front end and now, here you don't see that, but now you see a bar over here. That means that you're logged in, and when you're logged in, you can scroll down and you'll still see this bar, and you can add a new post and a new page add some media, add a new user. You can update things, you can customize theme, we'll talk about that and you can go back to the backend. So this, we don't need anymore. So right now, we have the back end and if we click over here, we go to the frontend. So, let's talk about the backend. I click over here, and this is our dashboard and overview with a lot of information. Then here at the left, we can have updates and if I click over here, I scroll down I see there are two themes that need to update. So I can select them, update those, so every time there is an update for a plugin or a theme or whatever, you can update it over here and you'll see in the top bar. Then there's post, we can add new blog posts, we can add pdfs, videos, media whatever word documents, and we can check them or you can add new ones. Well then there are pages like the home page, the about page, we can create those. If you have blog posts and people comment on it, you can see that over here you can approve them, or put them into spam. Then there's appearance, you can change the look and feel of your website using themes. We're going to talk about that. Then there are plugins, extra functionalities for your websites, you can make your website a webshop. Let's take a look. If I click on add new, you can add the classic editor which is the old editor of WordPress, you can have anti-spam make your website more secure. You can have a forum, you can have a social media website, all those things can be added to your website. Then there are users you can add more users that can change the whole website or you can add a user that only can add blog posts so you can hire someone that will write blog posts for your website. Then you can export your website, import your website, and then there are the settings we will take a look at that in a second. You know what, let's do it right now. Let's go to general in order to make our website secure. Add an S over here, that's everything you need to do, over here and over here. Then you save it and then you need to log in again. But now, it is secure. If I go to the front end, it is also secure. So that's great. So what you can do? You can do two things. Of course, you can do more things, you can decide to go bungee jumping today, but I'm talking about WordPress related stuff. We are going to create a course website, you can do it on your domain which you just bought or what you already have, or you can create a subdomain. I have my website ferdykorpershoek.com that is where I will show you tutorials like these, so people can find them there's a nice overview with what people can learn. So when I create a course website, I want it to be on the sub domain. It's called courses.ferdykorpershoek.com. It's up to you, if you want to use the subdomain or your current website and I will show you both ways how you can do that. So you can install this website on your current domain name or you go to NameHero or through your web hosting provider. I go to account, then I go to my cloud, web hosting, login to the cpanel, then I search for sub domain, I click on the second option, and over here, I say courses, and I will add courses.ferdywp.com. I click on create. Now, within an hour it will automatically become a secured domain, so it will add SSL. It will be done automatically. So I go over here to this icon, I search for WordPress, click over here, and then I click on install, and I go for https and then go for courses.ferdykorp.com, remove this, leave this all at is. My username ferdykorp; my password is fine, [e-mail]. And I scroll down and then I click on install. Awesome. I click over here. So now I have my current domain name and the subdomain courses.ferdywp.com and this will become secure in an hour. Over here, I have my main website, but if I would have all my courses on this website, then this website can slow down because of all the users I will have. I expect thousands of people to be my customer in the future. So I rather have a different domain and that's why I have courses.ferdykorpershoek.com. Right now, you can click over here but if there are more tutorials you can hover over tutorial, how to make a WordPress website and then I'll show you how to create an amazing website or you can go to Youtube and search for how to make a WordPress website ferdy and then we'll find the most recent one over here. Okay, well what I want to do, I want to create my website, my learner's website over here at courses.ferdykorpershoek.com. I want to have multiple courses. Right now, I have a beautiful course about Affiliate Marketing. It is finished already and I want to sell this at this point for $197. 197 dollars. Normally, it's a thousand dollars, but this time it's an option to have it without any support. So it's a do-it-yourself course, and that's why I have this cheap price because there I will show you a lot. It's 18 hours of tutorials, and I will show you in this tutorial, how you can implement a course like that. So first, I want to clean up my WordPress, website. I will close this for now, I want to dismiss this message and I want to go to the posts, bring this to the trash. I want to start from scratch, so I clean up everything, trash > empty the trash. Then I go to the pages, I click on this area, so I select everything bulk actions > move to the trash and then I click on apply, and I go to the trash over here and I empty the trash. Then I hover over here, I edit my profile. Here you can change the look and feel of your back end. I like the default one. Here I scroll down, I need to fill in my first name, my last name, otherwise it will say the author of this course is Ferdy Korp and I rather would use my whole name. So over here I can display the name publicity as Ferdy Korpershoek and then it will change over here. So that's what I prefer. You can have a gravator account. You can get one over here. You need to sign up for free, upload an image and use the same email address as you use over here, and then it will be linked automatically. You will see an image and over here, if you want to you can create a new password. Well, I'm happy with how it is, I click on update the profile, then I want to go to the Settings > General. I want to give this website a name. I want to call this one Ferdy Korpershoek courses. Or if you only have one course, you can call this one the affiliate marketing course. Well, if it's the only course. Learn how to build a passive income by helping other people on autopilot. Wow. I want to make it safe or secure the website, so I put an s after this. You know what, first I will save it. So I click on save changes over here, and then I place an s and a s and then I need to save it and log in again. Okay then I scroll down, the timezone. Well, I live in Amsterdam, so what I search for over here, let me see search for, Amsterdam, yes if you type Amsterdam you'll see it automatically and then the timezone is automatically changed. The date format: how do I want to display the date? Well I focus on people from the United States, and I think this is their way of displaying the date, so I leave it at that and I want to work with PM and AM button capitals. Then I click on save the changes, okay. So I go to the dashboard and I want to get rid of all this stuff. I want to have a clean dashboard. So I go to the screen options, I turn everything off over here, now we have nothing. Okay. I want to install a theme. So I go to a new tab, I go to ferdykorp.com/Astra -- hit enter. There's a pro version but I want to use the free version. In order to find it, you can go, scroll down over here. Oh that's a lot of discount. Whoa, nice. Okay. I have it already so I don't need it, and here you can download the free Astra theme you leave your name and your email address, or you go over here to Appearance > Themes, Add new and search for Astra, and there it is. I click on install and then I want to activate this theme. So right now I use a different theme, and that makes my website look like this. I think that is ugly. We're going to make it look better. So I click on activate, and now there's the same information, the title, the subtitle -- nothing here, but now in a different look and feel. So if I refresh the page, now it looks like this. Still looks really empty but we're going to make it look better through the tutorial. So that's Astra theme, and since we have the Astra theme active, I go to this theme, theme details and delete it. I want to remove everything I don't need, so our website is clean, and it is as fast as possible. Also, this one, remove or delete. So now this is our main theme and that's the theme I will use for my course. Okay. What is next? We want to make use of Elementor. So we go to ferdykorp.com/elementor, hit enter and we can use this free page builder. I click on get started and I do have a website already and these days it seems to be a little bit more complicated. I want to install a free version and if you just want to only install it manually, you can click over here and then it will be downloaded over here. But also here, we can go to the website, go to plugins, add new. I can click on upload plugin, and drag it over here, like this. Or I search over here for Elementor, and then you'll find it over here. More than five million installations, updated two hours ago, this is the real deal. This is the best free page builder within WordPress, so I click on install now. I have to say Gutenberg is also doing a great job these days, but they're still having a lot of work to do. But in the future, I will also make tutorials for Gutenberg, which is the main page editor for WordPress. Okay. I close this, I go to the screen options and I say Elementor, and bye. Okay, so this is how our website looks -- a title, a header, here is a sidebar with a few widget areas and here is the footer. We can create our course website in two different ways. One, we can import a pre-made website from Astra that's already made and we can adjust the information, and it works perfectly smooth with LearnDash, or we can create it from scratch. Well because I want this tutorial to be as as clear as possible, I don't want to skip parts. So I want to talk about how to create this website from scratch and that's what we're going to do but because I'm in a good mood I also will show you how you can import a pre-made website from extractable, it's called starter templates and then with a few clicks you can import a complete website. So let me show you how you can do that. So, how can I make this beautiful? Well, we can do two things. We can create a website from scratch or we can import a pre-made template and we can do that with the Astra starter sites. If you want to do that, go to the backend, go to Appearance > Astra options, and over here, it says import starter template. You can install the importer plugin, I will show you how to do it but I will not install a pre-made theme. I want to teach you from scratch how to do this. So right now, it's being activated. I want to make use of the Elementor page builder, and then I can search or I see it over here already. I search for LearnDash and there are a few themes we can use. Learn digital marketing, LearnDash academy, so what I can do, I can click over here and all these pages, I can import it and I have a website at once. Need help, contact form, and it all looks beautiful made with Astra and Elementor. If I want to, I can import the complete website ,but as I said, I want to start from scratch, so I will not do this. What I want to do, I want to get LearnDash. So how can we get it? Let's go to ferdykorp.com/learndash. This is an affiliate link. Okay, what can you do with LearnDash, well let me show. You you can click on the demo, right, mouse click open in a new tab. As you see it's the same website as we saw over here, so also LearnDash makes use of Astra theme and then over here below, we see there are three courses we can buy. This is what we can create. We can create more courses on one website and this one is free. So if I click over here, I can see a thumbnail, I can see the title, the current status, I'm not enrolled. It is free and I can log in to enroll or you can register to enroll. Over here, you see some information about the course and then if you want to, you can show an overview like section 1, section 2. What will you cover in this course? You can expand them all and then you see more information. So that looks really beautiful, and if you click on it, sometimes there's a free version, so let me go back to all courses, that is a different page, we see all the courses. If I go for the piano lesson one, and I click over here, I can see an example which is free. This is how it looks right now. So the title where we are in the website in this case, it's a video lesson, some information, a few cords and then you can navigate through the course. Well if we log in, we can do that. Login using demo and demo. Now, I can go to all the courses. Also the piano lesson one. I can say take this course. You can pay with Paypal and with credit card that's what we can let people do. And if I go to all the courses, and I click on the one I have already to LearnDash overview, now I can navigate through the website, and if you're finished, we can let people download the certificate and some people really like that so they can show on Linkedin or wherever that they are a certified LearnDash instructor. So right now, if I click over here, this is how it looks. Sections with the lessons, and then the topics. We completed it already, we can go to the previous lesson, we can go to the next lesson, we can mark it as complete, we can go back to the course, we can go to our own account. So that's what you can do with LearnDash and I will show you step by step how you can do that. And one more thing, over here it says award winning Captera top 20 training software winner, but the interesting thing is it's the only WordPress LMS on this list. That means that if you ask it to Captera, that the best training plugin for WordPress is LearnDash because no other LMS is listed in this top 20 that is from WordPress. And if you take a look Tony Robbins uses it. Yoast and all those, I know those two, and you can read more about it, you can create courses, in those courses you have sections, in those sections you have lessons, in these lessons, you have topics. We can create certificates, if people finish the course, we can create quizzes and create assignments and we're going to do all that in this tutorial. So let's take a look at the pricing and there's a new updated special pricing. I wonder if this is also available for you. Right now we can save $40. Well, that's really nice. Normally, it's $229 per year now it's $189. So let me show you the three packages. There's basic for $159; it's for a one website. So if you're really sure you only want to use for one website, you can use this one unless you want to include the pro panel. Well the the pro panel enables you to see all the results, how much percentage have people watched the course, where are they going, how long do they stay on a certain subject. You get a lot of information about the behavior of your visitors, and that can help you to enhance your course, to make it better, to see people where people get stuck, and then in that way you can improve your course, and we're also going to talk about that in this tutorial. That's not available over here, it's just $30 more than this one and you can use it on 10 websites. Then there's also this one for 25 websites. Well, what you can do, you can become an agency specialized in LMS systems and then you can have up to 25 clients that you can help and install the license on their website and you can charge for it, make nice money with it. Well, I want to go for this package because I want to include the pro panel and besides that, we can create unlimited courses and have unlimited users. We of course content protection, so if people are not logged in, they cannot see the content of our course. Drip feed lessons -- that means that you can say the course starts at the first of June, 2022 and then every day after that one new video will appear. That's what you can do if you want to, you can even connect it to an email provider and then every day will be sent a new email with a new lesson and you can all make it automatic. I will make tutorials about that so this will be a complete experience where you can learn from A to Z how to create an amazing community with lessons, with a kind of Facebook feed where everybody can have their own account, they can post things on the wall or on the forums. There's a lot yet to cover but in this tutorial, I will focus on how to create multiple courses on one website and use drip feed lessons, create certificates, badges, and stuff and in other tutorials, I will focus on creating forums, email notifications, and all that stuff. So it's per year, you pay this per year. Well, if you have a course that's $197, you need to have one people that will follow your course in order to make the money back, and I want to go for thousands of course takers, and it's a real thing what I'm going to make. It's not just for the tutorial. I will make this for real, for myself, so that's why I will show you everything I will do in this tutorial, and if you really want this, then you can click on add to cart. So I want to go for the learners plus, and my first name is Ferdy and my last name is Korpershoek and my email address is [e-mail]. My credit card details, well I want to pay with Paypal this time. You can pay with credit card, then you need to fill in all those fields and you need to check this. I want to go with Paypal and then I also need to agree with everything and I click on checkout with Paypal. It's covered by a 30-day money back guarantee. So if you really don't like it, or you don't like my tutorial or you don't like, it doesn't matter what you don't like you can just say, "hey I want to have my refund," you will have a full refund if you ask it within 30 days. Okay, I click on agree and continue. Awesome. And I need to check out with Paypal. So here's my purchase confirmation and my download. So what I can do now, I can download LearnDash, so I click over here, and I can also download the pro panel if I want to. I will talk about it later in the tutorial, and then here are my license details. I need them for LearnDash. So I click over here, there it is, my receipt for LearnDash and I need to have this license key over here. It expires in in a year. I close it and I close this for now and I want to go to my plugins, add new, upload plugin. I want to drag LearnDash 3.3, that is a hard word for me to say. And I click on install now. So I hope they come with version four so I don't have to say three anymore. Activate the plugin, and now we're going to make some money. How? By providing valuable knowledge to other people, in my case, about affiliate marketing. My course is the best one on the internet, I'm assured of that because I followed all the other tutorials, all the other courses, I did not copy them but I just want to look what they offer and I think what I offer is better. So here it says license of your learner's elements is invalid or incomplete. Well, I can click here, if you do not see this, so let's get rid of all this stuff. I can go to LearnDash over here, and I can go to the settings and then you see it here again, but you also can go over here to the license, and I say my email address is [e-mail]. It needs to be the same email address as you filled in when you purchased this, and then I fill in my license key. I click on update license, and I can use this on 10 websites. So it's actually $19 per website. I think that's a great deal. For now I'll just use it on my courses.ferdykorpershoek.com website and I've updated my license. So if I would go to the dashboard, there are no more questions about my license. So I close this, and there's a lot we can cover and what I want to do, I want to start with the fun stuff. In my opinions, the fun stuff I want to create my first course. So I go to courses, and it says we don't have any course yet. So I want to click on add my first course or click on add new. So then, you see the Gutenberg editor and that's okay. What I want to say over here the course title is: The Affiliate Marketing Course. And here you can have some course content. So I can say, "Hi there, my name is Ferdy Korpershoek and I talk about my experience with affiliate marketing. I remember this it was at my intern place there was a guy who told me about affiliate marketing and when I had my first dollar, so I was like, whoa we can make money through the internet. We really can do it. Now 13 years later, I'm living from it and I really love it right now." I have my text over here, so you can have a small text and what you can do, you can hit enter over here and you can click on the plus and you can add a lot of stuff over here, paragraph, but also LearnDash stuff, or you can browse everything and then over here we can add an image, we can search for the image and we can add a lot of stuff. But right now, I want to keep it simple. Later on, we're going to make it look better, but for now this is perfectly fine. So I click on update, then I need to click over here on this icon. Go from blog to course, and what I want to have over here is a featured image. I set the featured image, select files, I go to my desktop, and I open this one. I prefer 16x9 in aspect ratio. So right now, I have an image that is 1280x720 pixels. I set this featured image and it's a mockup. I created it with themeforest, I even have a tutorial about it. So if you search for create "mockup website ferdy," yeah you can create a mock-up like this. So if I click on update, and I go back to the courses, and I click over here, I will go to the home page but at my homepage I see nothing. Well, we need to create a few pages for that and in order to do that, I go to new page. Right now, I only need a homepage. So I click on home, I publish it and then over here, I want to click on the plus, and I search for a list. Here it says, LearnDash course list. Okay, if I update it, and I click over here on the WordPress icon and I go to the front page, I still see nothing. I need to go to the customizer. Then I want to go to the home page settings and I change it from my latest blog post or my latest post to a static page, and I select the one page we have -- the homepage. Now we see this list over here. Okay, I go back and I go to the sidebar, and I want to turn the default sidebar off to no sidebar. So this is what we'll see right now. Okay then the next thing I want to do, now it's fine right now. I close it. Okay. Well this looks not that beautiful. If I click on it, I see this, nice zero percent complete, zero steps, some text over here. It doesn't look that appealing. Well, I will make it appealing. Right now, I go back to the backend and I want to go to LearnDash LMS and then I want to go to add-ons. Since we bought LearnDash, we have a lot of add-ons we can install, and I want to start with the LearnDash course grid, so we see grid instead of a list. Later we will install stripes we can receive payments from all over the world, and when people buy our course they automatically get all the login details, so they can start right away it's all on autopilot. It's amazing that you can do this. So I go back to the homepage, and now it looks like this. It says I'm enrolled because I'm the administrator, but if I would go right mouse click, open this link incognito, that means I log in or I watch this page as a non-user, then I see, I can click on see more, and then I see this information and there's nothing that can be done. Why? We need to configure our course even further. So I click on the course, and then I click on edit the course, and we will continue creating this course. So over here. I was at the course interesting, I have the featured image, but I also see course categories. If you have a big website like udemy.com, you can create a website like this with the LearnDash and there are under 30,000 online courses and here are a lot of categories. So over here you see excel, web development, javascript. So what you can do, you can add a category that says "Making Money Online," add a new course category and then I can add a new course and I call this "affiliate marketing" and I can create a subcategory of "making money online." So if I have a lot of courses, then I can create a structure in my website and let people navigate to the website even better. Same goes for tags. Any tag, any subject that has something to do with this course affiliate marketing and then I need to say comma, the next one is making money online, passive income. So in that way I can also create some structure in my website if I have a lot of websites. The great thing with LearnDash what you also can do probably in combination with a different plugin is let other people upload their own courses. So you can become a platform where other people will sell their courses and you will get a cut from every sale that has been made. So there's a lot possible but in this course I want to focus on selling my own courses. Update, and when we've talked about that we can go to the builder -- the second tab. Here we can create the content of our course. If I go to the course, so let's do it like this. I copy this area, copy it. I paste it here -- courses.ferdykorpershoek.com. If I click on it as a logged in user, I see nothing. There are zero steps. So we need to create some content for our website. So what I have if I go to my notes, over here, I have the colors of my website and I have an overview of my website about the course. I can build this course structure, sections and lessons, and I can build it over here. So I start with a section heading. I call this one 01.Introduction. I want to introduce people to affiliate marketing. When I have a section, I can add a new lesson and I can go over here. I can copy this title and I love structure. I want to keep things organized so that's why I use 1.01 Welcome. I add the lesson, now it's a lesson from the introduction. So the second one, the third one, let me see if I can try it like this and I know this takes some time, but you only need to do this once. The fourth one, and if I keep talking I think it doesn't take too much time. So now I have five lessons of my first chapter, trust me making those videos takes way longer than just creating this area over here, this overview. So now I have five lessons, so I need to go to the second section, copy so right now I do not create another lesson but I create a new section heading, and I call this 102. and I paste preparation. Or even better, how to prepare for success. It's all what happens into our mind that makes us successful or not. So again, I continue 2.01 new lesson, paste. Copy netflix generation, paste. Become a doer, you can watch this course over and over again but if you do nothing, nothing will happen. The whole idea of business why do you want to create what you want to create, it's really important to know your why. The GIN mentality, GIN means google it now instead of asking people a lot of stuff. I get a lot of questions and I think if you would google it you would find the answer within a minute. So if you develop that mentality it will help you to be more productive but also learn more getting things done more, I don't know if that english is correct. So what I'll do I will fast forward and I will be back with you when I have all this stuff over here. So what I have over here is a lot of sections and in those sections, I have lessons. You see it here with L, it's a lesson. So a few more things. If I want to change something I can drag it over here, or I can click on the arrow up or the arrow down. If I forgot something, so over here, you see 801. So over here, I can also say 8.01 or 8.02. Save it, bring it down and here I can say 8.01 space save, and after that I need to update it over here. So right now before I upload or reloaded the page, it still looks like this and if I refresh it, look what happens. Wow, now we have 60 steps. Welcome, What's affiliate marketing and all this stuff. And we can change the look of feel later using the Astra theme. I can go to the second page. I can go to the third page, and I can also decide to not show this to my viewers. Only show it when they are enrolled. So it keeps something mysterious like okay, of course, you need to make people excited for your product, and then they buy it. And sometimes if people see this, they can think "yeah, okay, okay, okay, I know that." So it can make the course look less valuable, well if they buy it and then they go through all this information they will learn a ton of stuff. So I suggest, you don't show... that depending on what you want to sell. If you're selling a photoshop course maybe you want to see what they are going to learn. So, since we have done this, let's talk about topics and quizzes. Later, I click on update again, and then we have the third tab which is settings. So let's talk about the settings. Does this course need materials? Well right now, you don't see something about materials, but if I turn this on, I can say you need a computer. So I can click over here, you need a computer. You need internet. You need screen capture software. I show you a few options in the course or you can have important links. So sign up, or Adobe and from here you can make it a link and in that way you can add some course materials. And if you click on update, and you refresh the page, you see now the course. Okay, the course, blah, blah, blah, this information and the materials you need a computer, you a computer. What is that you need a computer, you need internet, you need screen capture software I show you a few options in the course. Okay so that's what you can do as an option. Then scroll down: course certificate. Well we don't have a course certificate yet. If we have made one, we can find it over here and then when people finish the course they will download the certificate with my signature and their name. We can make it as beautiful as we want. Course content: Always visible, or only visible to people that enrolled, have enrolled? So if I open this in a new window, incognito, I turn it off now. If I click on see more, you don't see it. But what I prefer is that I have a video over here where I'll make people excited for the course, and if you sell a $997 course, it is probably not enough to just show some information let people buy it and people really need to trust you before they buy something that expensive. So in that case you can have a webinar, create a webinar and let people enroll after that. I have a tutorial about that. It's called ever webinar tutorial. Let's see if I am still on number one. Yes and then you can record a webinar up front and uh make it look like it's live. I personally do not like it to fake people, but I say my video, it's not live. I pre-recorded it, so I can have better audio quality and help you anytime you want, and then I show people 50 minutes of information about affiliate marketing, make them excited and then I say to them how they can get it. So right now I put it on always visible and do I want to have custom pagination? Yes. I want to show a thousand lessons, and topics per page. What does it mean? Well, it means that when they click over here, they see all the lessons in one page. I don't like the pagination thing. So they see whoa all the stuff I will learn? Yes. So I'll turn it on and turn it on a thousand. Custom lesson order: well, yes. Or you can do it based on sorting by date in ascending order. So the thing you created first will be shown first, while I just created this from scratch and I leave it like that, so I don't turn this on. Course access is really important. If it is open people don't even need to log in in order to watch all this information, then you can make the course free and when the course is free people can access it but they need to register. If you register then you can link it to a convertkit or kit or Mailchimp or whatever, and you can send them automated emails. So what I prefer with this is to make a free course, let's say my first two chapters totally for free, and then if they want to, then I have their email address. I have an automated email sequence that I can send to them, and then after two weeks, I can say, "hey did you enjoy the course? How about going for the real course and I give you discount right now, instead of $997 you can buy it for just $497, if you want that. Then they have seen, I can be trusted. They see, I know what I'm talking about and then they can enroll in the premium course - the real course. Or by now, well what's the course price? So if I say $197, I click on update, when they buy $197 they get the information they can log in and they can follow the course, or it's recurring. So I can say the course is $47 per month, every month $47 as long as you are a member. It's also really interesting if you have a thousand people that do that, that's $47,000 per month, but you really need to have a good course and a good way of doing your marketing. Then there is close, what you can do over here, you can set a course price and that will be seen on the website when people see course overview, and then you can have a custom URL. What does it mean? When people click on take this course, or buy this course they go to a custom URL. So we can create a beautiful landing page with WooCommerce, Elementor and card flows. So they can see one page with all the information they need to see and then below that page, they can go to the checkout, fill in the details, pay the amount of money for the course and get access immediately. That's in my opinion the best way and I will show you step by step, how you can achieve that in this tutorial. Right now, I say that the course is $197 and I will add a hashtag over here and later we will configure it further. You can also say people need to first follow the free course or follow another course before they can sign up for this one. So I can say first I need to have the lite version, so the free version needs to be followed before they can buy the premium course. You can have course points. So when people follow quizzes and they have good answers they can they get points, and when they have 50 points then they can enroll in this course. So you can say required or awarded on completion. So if they follow the light course completely, they can get 50 points and they need that in order to buy another course. Then there's course access, yeah. This is also really nice. They only get access for one year. So for $197 one time, so let me say it's buy now $197. You get access for 365 days or even better for 90 days and in 90 days, you need to set up your own imperium with your affiliate marketing course, because then you say to them, hey you have 90 days so you need to take it serious and that can help people. There's a course called the one funnel away course, I'm not that excited about the way how they do things but what they do, you get 30 days after those 30 days everything is gone. So you need to do that in the 30 days. I did it a few times the course, because I did not do it in 30 days, but it kept me motivated because I knew after 30 days, everything is gone, and then you can decide if you want to remove everything they have get it. So you can also click over here, delete the user's course and quiz data when the course access expires. So they have zero completion after that. Or if they've done 50% and you turn this off, they'll still have it and if you click on this, it will be gone, so all the data will not be saved anymore. There's course progression, that means it requires the user to progress through the course in a designated step-by-step sequence, or they can go to any lesson if they want to. Well I prefer the first one, at the other hand I have a few bonus areas and I want to give people access to that. So in that case I could say freeform, but right now I want to use a linear form. So they really need to check everything. Okay. Course grid settings, so if I go to the home page what should it say over here? Learn how to build a passive income stream while helping other people on automatic pilot. Wow! Enable preview, so that means that uh this image is a video. That's a really nice option then you need to have the embed code and over here you can see, how you can do that. Custom button text, well, see more is a little, I don't like it, so I can say more information. Custom ribbon text, best option, let me show you that, and then I click on update. I refresh the page, best option, affiliate marketing course, learn how to build a passive income stream while helping other people on automatic pilot. More information. So it starts to look better and better and if I remove the ribbon text I'll see the price. So refresh, go to the home page, enrolled. And if you're not logged in, you see the price over here, and now you see if I'm not logged in $197. So let me go to the course, while I'm logged in what I see the image. Here I see completion. So what I can do, I can go to the course and I can go to the first lesson, well there's nothing yet. If I click on mark complete, we go automatically to the second lesson and I mark it complete, the third one and mark it complete. Now if I go to the home page and I click over here, what I see I have a completion of five percent and if I scroll down, I see that I've completed those pages right now. So that's really handy and if you use videos in your course, and the video is finished, you automatically complete that lesson, and you go to the next lesson. So that's what I like about LearnDash. If you somehow want to get rid of the progress, you can go to the back end, to users. In this case, there's only one. You click on it. You scroll down. Here, you see per user where they are enrolled in and I have 3 out of 95. I can click on details and then I can bring it back. Update profile, and now when I take a look at the course, I have zero percent again. So let's configure this a bit more before we're going to take a look at the lessons, let's make it look a little bit better. So I can go to the customizer. I go to the global settings. To the container and over here LearnDash layout, I want to change the layout to boxed; like that. I think that looks a little bit better. So that's what I prefer. So if I click on publish, I go to the page again and now it is boxed. I like that. When I click on it, I go to this page and it does also boxed. Well, I want to configure this how can I do that? I can go to the backend, let me go to LearnDash settings. Okay. First, the active template is LearnDash 3.0, you can use the legacy one if you want to check it out click on save, open it, click over here, and then it looks like that. Well, that really looks legacy. I don't like it. There's no structure, so I bring it back to 3.0 and that's a lot of times what I do. I just play around and see what works. So I have the accent color, the progress color, and notifications. I go to my notes because I have my colors. Over here, the blue color. I wanted to be the accent color, paste the code and then there is the orange color, those are the two colors I want to use in my website. So I paste it and then there's red or if something goes wrong, completely red, and if you're ready, you can save it here at the top. So now it looks like this, and when I finish a lesson, it's orange. Then I go back to the affiliate marketing, course to the bread crumb, and now you see this is orange, and this is dark blue. Those are the colors I want to use, maybe better. Do them the other way around. So now those colors will be changed. Like that. So this blue, the other area is orange. Okay. I want to change this whole look and feel with one click of the button. So over here I click on this button focus mode, I turn it on and with one click of the button -- actually two because I need to save it; actually three because I need to refresh it -- but is hitting command R on the keyboard. Is that a button? No. So it's two buttons, two clicks. So now it looks like this. I can have my logo over here. I see the amount of completion, the percentage. I can go to the next lesson. I greeted, wow I am greeted and then I see my own picture. I can log out I can go to my course home. I do that. I can go to any video. So if I go to the second one, what is affiliate marketing. I can watch the information. I can mark this complete. So I think this already looks much better, and when I complete it, look at this. You see it changing real time. So that's really nice. Also here, orange, blue, orange. So in that way you can change the look and feel of your website with a few clicks and I want people to have the opportunity to register. If you want to know more about the option, you can click over here. When active the learner's template will be used for user login and registration -- yes. The logo uploads. Well, I want to use the affiliate marketing logo, this one and do I want the videos to be responsive? Yes, they can become smaller automatically because right now well let me talk about it later. Right now I will leave it at it is, I just wanted to change the style a little bit and now I want to talk about lessons, because we don't have information over here yet. I can click on welcome, and since I'm the administrator, I can edit this lesson. Here, I can use the Gutenberg editor and if I click on the plus and I click on browse all. I can add a lot of stuff over here. Actually, you can see examples. So um what I can do, I can say, I want to welcome you to this amazing course. I don't know if that's correct English, I just want to say what is possible. Then, I can click on the plus, I want to add an image. So I search for image, and I upload an image, I sell something about, you know do an image of myself. It doesn't need to be too big. Okay. I can say, I got you. You paid 197 dollars and this course is crap. It's too late, because there's no 30 day money back guarantee and I can become rich. Go on vacation with the money. Well, a lot of people are not happy with me. That is an option but I can assure you this course is amazing. I'm just making bad jokes. So if I go to the first lesson, I will see this. I want to welcome you to this amazing course, my image, I got you, you paid 197 dollars, and this course is crap. Well it is completed already. So you can show information, you can even upload a pdf file like you need to read this first, or you can even link to a YouTube video. There's a lot you can do. Again, click on edit lesson, it sounds like adolescence. Isn't that a band? Adelescnse, maybe, Adolescence -- something with children. I don't know. I don't know, what am I doing? Come on, go back to the course. This is how I look right now, like what am I doing? Okay. So that's what you can do; that's one way. Okay. When people go through that lesson, I go back to all the lessons. Here we have courses. Here we have lessons, and if I click on the title I can go to lesson 2 over here -- What is affiliate marketing? And over here, I have the content, what I can do but what I also can do I can go to the settings and here I can add materials to this lesson. So I can say download the e-book. I can make a link, https://ferdykorpershoek.com/ebook. ENTER. Then click over here, open it in a new tab, and I go to update and now when I go to the second lesson, over here, I see the tab materials. Now I can download the e-book. So that can be handy for you. I prefer to make video courses because it's easier for people to learn through video. It's a little bit... yeah easier. And then I can say, okay, by the way in this video, I point you to the Facebook link, there you can sign up and all that stuff, and then I can place the link over here. And if you say that over here, there are materials with the link, you can see that. I can also say, how to download Adobe Premiere. Go to adobe.com etc., and then refresh the page. And here you see that. So you can give instructions, and here's the lesson. So what else about the lesson in the settings, we have added materials. We can have a video progression and as I said before, it is what I prefer. So what I will do. I will go to Vimeo, and over here, it says your input url, iframe or shortcode. Well you can add Youtube, you can add Vimeo. There are other video players, you can place over here. I have a course, let me see. My videos, I scroll down a lot, and I search for chapter one, video two -- what is affiliate marketing. So I copy this link, again copy the link, and then I paste it here, and then here it says display timing before completed the sub steps. So I can say, show this video before I need to show anything else or I can say first, let them show something and if they complete it, then they will see the video. Well, I will not use it. So I say before, I can make the video auto start. I can show the video controls display. I can pause the video when people are in a different tab. Well, I prefer not to do that because sometimes people need to go to a different page while I'm talking to them through what they need to do. And I can have a forced lesson timer, but but it cannot be used while the video is enabled. So how would that look? I refresh the page, module one -- what is affiliate marketing, and what I see over here, the play button, this timer, people see how long the video is, how hard the sound is, loudness. I can do double speed because I have Vimeo pro. I pay around 250 per year which is really cheap, in comparison with what I get, and I can make it full screen. If I play this, it looks like this. So what I like, I have those colors over here -- orange and blue, and also here, orange and blue. So everything is a little bit in the same style, and look at this, when I finish the video, I do nothing right now with my mouse. Nothing happens. What I want when they finish my video, I want them to go to the next lesson automatically. So we're going to do it later in the settings of the course, because I prefer that then people can continue and then if I go to the next video, they need to click on play. So they go to the next area but it saves them a step and that's what I like. So okay that was the second one, so here we have made something with Gutenberg and if you feel to know more about Gutenberg. I have tutorial about it. Create a blog post using Gutenberg. Then write ferdy behind it. Yeah one hour about Gutenberg. And as I said, I will make a tutorial about Gutenberg also. So this is just course content, and the second one what is affiliate marketing, I have a video and then at the end, I want to have a quiz. If you want to learn how to work with a quiz, I created a separate video for it because not everybody wants to create a quiz. I don't want to make this video unnecessary long. So if you want to learn how to work with a quiz, you can click over here, and then I'll show you a beautiful in-depth tutorial on how to create a quiz using LearnDash. Okay. So what I will do now, I can go back to the lessons, and I can make this a free lesson. So what is affiliate marketing? I want to be a free lesson, so I scroll down and it is associated with this course because we created it in the course builder. So it's automatically linked, and I can make this a sample lesson. So if I update it. So let me go back to the course, to the home page. Right now, it says this lesson is a sample lesson. So people cannot access this if they're not logged in, or did not buy it. But they can buy this. So if you're really sure you have something good going, on you can give the first chapter for free, and if people are really serious, they know hey this guy can be trusted. You can make sure that if people go over here, they need to pay. So you can give something for free. Okay. So let me go to youtube.com, and I search for "affiliate marketing ferdy". Okay, I have a few free tutorials about affiliate marketing. So what I can do, this video for instance, you see the same background. Right mouse click, copy the link and I edit the course, and then I can go to the settings. I scroll down, and then over here enable video preview. The video URL, update it, back to the courses back over here and now this is a video. So I can watch this video, but then I would have a video that's max two minutes because people are not going to watch over here to a 35 minute video. More information, and then here you see the featured image, what you also can do, edit the course, click on the plus over here, let me see. Hit enter, click on the plus, search for Youtube, paste the link. Bring it on top with this arrow, update, and go back to the courses, to the website. Click over here, and then people can watch this course before or what you can do, or you edit the course again, let me see. We can hover over here, I want to see the plus where is it? Yeah, there's the plus. I search for columns. I want to have two columns okay. I want to drag this area over here and this video area. This is what I mean with Gutenberg, it's getting better but it's so hard to just drag this over here in this area. So I need to click on the plus, Youtube, paste the url, embed it and I can remove this. But as you see, it's so hard to select it. That's why I'm waiting with a tutorial about it, but what I can do, I can go to the code editor, and there I can remove this area. Update. Bring it back to the visual editor, and what I prefer is also to have this area, yeah. Then over here, I would like to say the last Affiliate Marketing course you will ever need. I make this a header by clicking here and changing it to a header, H2 perfect. Okay. Well, this is something I want to change. I don't like that more information and now you see this area we can get rid of it. I'll show that later in the course, and then there's a video -- the last course you'll ever need, and people can buy it over here. So that is that. So what I want to do now. I want to go to the back end and I want to fill in the content of my course. I go to LearnDash > Lessons. I click over here. Okay. I have a weird way of working, but for me it's the fastest way. I drag vimeo to the left and then I have video 1.1. I hold command on my computer, or control on the PC then I click on the second one, third one, fourth one, fifth one. Then I say control tab on my mac and I click on, but first over here, I remove everything. Update and then I go to settings, control tab settings, control tab settings, control tab settings, control tab settings. Then I go to this video or this first lesson, video progression, command tab. Over here, it's already there. The third one video progression, fourth one, and fifth one. Okay. Then I search for the introduction. Copy this link. Copy the link -- it's not necessary anymore. Paste the link, update. Go to the second video. I have that already. So to video 1.2, which is actually 1.3. I copy the link. So the title is 7 reasons why I prefer affiliate marketing. So this video 1.1, 1.2 -- what is affiliate marketing, 1.3, seven reasons why I prefer it, and I paste it. The next one, the title: The Old Way of Doing Affiliate Marketing. Over here, the old way of doing affiliate marketing. Copy, copy the video link, over here I paste it, update. then the next one. A much better way to do affiliate marketing, over the years I, or over the months I change the title sometimes. So it's called much better way to do affiliate marketing. I paste it. That's what you need to do with all your videos or all your lessons. Fill in the content, so I go to courses.ferdykorpershoek.com. There's my course, let me get rid of this really quick. Edit course, and as with all programs, the more you play around with it, the better you become at it. So I know immediately, I go to settings, I scroll down all the way, and I remove this and I uncheck this I click on update. The more you play around, the easier it becomes to navigate. When I saw WordPress for the first time I was like, wow this is so ugly. I come from a joomla background, and now I love it. It's so easy to work with. So if I go to my course and I watch the first video, I can click over here, and I go to the next lesson and you see I go to next lesson over here, I click here. Okay. Nice. Third one. Was that the same video? Seven reasons I love affiliate marketing, yeah okay this is good one. The old way of doing affiliate marketing. Always check the content of your course otherwise it can be that there's an error and people buy the course and they see that they are like hey, it's not working. So here I'll show you a better way to do affiliate marketing. So I mark it as complete. Also this one, and then I see i'm at eight percent already. So that's what, there are a lot of things over here that makes it easier for people to navigate through the website to the course, and my goal is for them to become successful with it, and LearnDash helps me to achieve that through this beautiful interface. People can scroll through the whole course with go public, okay introduction, create a gmail account, create a Youtube channel, upload your first video, how to optimize it. Okay make a website, email marketing. Everything is within or at the tip of my fingers. Right now, I have a smaller screen because I'm recording at a certain certain resolution but I have a bigger screen and I have 13 inch, but if I would stretch it like this, everything fits perfectly. I see the video immediately. So there's a reason you don't see it immediately because I made the screen smaller as you see over here, and it causes me to scroll. Yes, so what you need to do now, you need to fill in all the content of your website, and then I will be back with you. So I uploaded all the content, and now if I scroll down, and I go to video 4.05, I see this video 26 minutes. I can go to the next video - 40 minutes. You see there are long videos. If you have really long videos, it's also an option to cut them into pieces and you can do that by creating topics. So if I would like to cut this video in four parts, I have 3.6 over here, I can go to the backend, I go to LearnDash, to topics, and I can create a few topics. So I click on add new, and as I said before, how I like to work. Let's go back, hold command, add new, add new, add new, add new. So now I have four new topics, and the first one is called download Davinci Resolve. Copy, and publish, and publish. The second one is called Install Davinci Resolve. If you don't want to publish it twice click over here go to the preferences, and include the pre-published checklist. Turn it off, and then you need to publish it only once, that saves some time. So I copy Davinci Resolve, edit your video, I don't need it anymore, Davinci Resolve, edit your video and the fourth one -- publish your video, all within Davinci Resolve, which is a free program that helps you to edit videos. So what I can do now over here, I can go to settings, and scroll down, I can add a video over here, video progression. I don't have a video now, so I turn it off but you can have a video, and then the associated courses affiliated marketing course and then I search for Davinci and I save it. The second one, settings, third one, settings, fourth one, settings. I scroll down, affiliate, and Davinci; update. Next one... So they're all connected now with that one video from that one course Davinci. All with 3.06. The latest one, affiliate and you get a nice... it looks nice. Let me show you in a minute. So now they're all linked, those four lessons. Let me refresh them, there they are. All linked with this course and this lesson. So now if I go to that lesson, over here, what I will see in the overview already, 3. or it was 4.6. 3.06, how to edit in Davinci; expand, and then there's lesson content "download Davinci Resolve." So something did not go right. Let me open this video, this lesson, I can watch this video but then below this video, I have those four lessons. So I click on the first one, and it says please go back and watch the video for the previous lesson. So I go back, that means I need to first finish this video. So I mark this one as complete, and then I can watch the second video then I can watch the third one, and then I can watch the fourth one. Actually, there's also an easier way so what I can do I can go to the backend, to LearnDash courses, and then to this one. I go to the builder, and then I click here on the arrow down and now I can also create a new topic. Topic one, add topic and topic two, and then third one - really important - tropic, no topic but tropic thunder. If you do this, then the rest of the website will automatically be created. It's just weird. Okay that's making no sense what I'm saying, I just thought about Tropic Thunder, since it's... Okay, enough about that. That's a weird thing. Sometimes I say things... And if I go back, it still says hey are you sure? So that is a bug. So do I say bug the right way? Or do you think about a mosquito right now. So also over here, I can go to topic one. So let's talk about this, what is this. So why is this shown? It's so irritating. Well, I said that there needs to be a linear way of following this course, so you need to start with video one, after that video two. You cannot go to a certain video over here because I said they need to watch the first video first, then the second one. In order to fix this, go to the backend, holding command or control on the pc, then go to courses and then we go to the affiliate marketing course, and I change the settings over here. If I scroll down from linear to freeform. It allows the user to move freely through the course without following the designated step sequence. So now when I refresh this, I can go anywhere. I can create a Facebook group if I want to, and if I go to the other one or topics, I can go to the first one. No message. I am free to do whatever I want to do. So I have my introduction video, or the video I want to have. It's really long so I want to cut it in four pieces and then over here, we can show it. Well, it is an option. It's like a next layer below section and lessons, but for me, I don't need it, I just want to show you that it is possible. So what I can do, I can make one video on how to make a website and then have a lot of small videos on how to make a website. But what I did, I created a whole topic about it -- create a website, get a domain, all that stuff. So that's how I prefer it. I think, I don't want to overwhelm people with topics and all that stuff. So it's just an option what you can do with this and I just want to show you that. So right now what we have is this course, with the thumbnail, with a title, with a text with more information. If I open this incognito, I have a thumbnail over here. I'm not enrolled, the price is $197. We can take this course or we can log in, we can see what materials we need. We can watch a sample video for free or a whole section, and if you're like, we want to buy it we can take the course and then we go directly to Paypal. Well, that's a little bit, that's really big shortcut. So maybe that you scare people away like hey you don't have any information, I need to pay something. Or you can log in, and then it looks like this. I can log in, or I can register. Make sure when you do this, that you go to the backend, go to LearnDash > Settings, make sure two things. One - that this is turned on, login and registration, and you go to the settings of WordPress > general and check anyone can register. If you do that, then people can register. So I can say Jeffrey -- my email is [e-mail]. I click on register > registration successful, please check your email to set your password. So now I go to my gmail account, over here, set my password. I hide this and then I click on save password, I'm still incognito. So I click on login, my name is Jeff, my password is this, and now I can go to the frontend, I can see this over here, and now I can click on take this course, and then again I go to my Paypal account. But let's go back to my administrator account, this one, then I go to courses > my course. I go to the settings, I scroll down. I can make it open - everybody can access it -- I can make it free. By now, I can also make it recurring, so I can say five dollars per month every month. So 60 per year. If you have a thousand people that do this, it's 60,000 per year. If you make it 27, it is 27 times 12 times 1000. It's a nice amount of money, as long as you offer great value. You can also make it closed that is interesting and then we can create a custom button, so that's what we're going to do later. I also want to integrate Stripe as a payment method. So what I want to do, I want to talk about integrating this with WooCommerce. Click on update. I think that when you sell course for $197 and people click on take this course, and the only thing they see is a login button, and the price of $197 and they can log in into Paypal, it can cause the customer to think okay what's this? Why do I not need to leave some information, it can cause people to doubt a little bit if they should continue with the sale, with the buying stuff, you know what I mean. So what I prefer to do when people click on take me to the course, or get this course, I want them to go to a landing page with more information and with the button that says buy this course. And when they click on it, they go to the bottom of that page, there's a beautiful checkout created with cart flows, and there they can buy the course. When they buy the course, they get the login details, they already have them, they go automatically to the member area and they can follow the course. So it's all a little bit smoother. So I think it's better people see more information about the course, and the way of paying is easier than when they go directly to the Paypal method. And now, since we are going to use WooCommerce for this and cart flows, they can pay with Stripe, because we can integrate Stripe with WooCommerce. What is Stripe? Stripe is one of the best payment providers in the world that will enable people to pay with Paypal or with credit card or different payment providers. You can select them all and I will show in this tutorial how you can set up your Stripe account and then it's a win-win situation because people can pay through multiple ways and the whole structure of paying is easier, so people pay easier and yeah, I think you know what I'm trying to say. That's actually what I wanted to say. It is easier for people to check out that way and to pay with different payment providers. So it's a win-win situation. I like when win-win situation, because then both parties win and when the winner wins, they're a double winner and double winners go through life as a winner. So the whole world in the end is a winner when the whole world watches this tutorial. Okay I'm talking stupid things. Let's continue with the tutorial. Now I want to go to the course, and I want to go to plugins > add new. Let's install WooCommerce. WooCommerce install, and activate. The goal is that when people click over here, that they go to a page where they can leave their information choose their payment method, and then when they sign up, they get the login details as you just saw with Jeffrey, and then they can sign up for the course. And when they are a member, they can sign into more courses, pay them, and get access. So that's how that works. Since we activated WooCommerce, we have a setup wizard. I don't need that so I click on skip store details, no thanks, okay. Then I go to the settings over here from WooCommerce, leave your details over here, I sell to all countries since I'm talking about digital products and this is all fine. I want to use American or United States dollars. I think this should be a point and this should be a comma. Save the changes. Okay. Now, if I go to pages, there are no pages for WooCommerce, so what I need to do, I need to go to WooCommerce status. It can be the case that it has already happened with you. So check it at the pages if you see the cart page etc., we need to go to tools, the second tab and I search Command F for pages. Here it says create pages, create default WooCommerce pages. Create pages, okay, and now if you go to the pages, they are created. Now, I go to LearnDash, add-ons and I want to integrate WooCommerce for LearnDash. Install now, then I click on activate. I go back to the add-ons, and if I want to I can check for an update. There's no update, so it's all fine. Okay now I go to WooCommerce, and then below that product, all products and I can create my first one. I click here or you click on add new or over here new product. This product is called affiliate marketing course. Okay. The only thing I want to do is go to the simple product, product data, change it to course. Then I say I sell this for five dollars at this moment, actually it's 997 dollars, and right now it is $5. But you know what, I just say 5. Of course, product image, check this one, select this one. I click on publish, and of course, we need to link it with the course, otherwise WooCommerce doesn't know what people are paying for. So over here, at general information, LearnDash courses, youneed to select the Affiliate Marketing course -- update. And now, if I click over here, this is our course. We can buy it for $5. Now, I copy this link, copy and now you see over here, all those pages, we need to create a menu and we're going to make it look better later, and I can do a few more things. I can go back to products, and quick edit, and I turn off enable reviews. So right now, this product and this course are totally not related, and we need to link them actually. So I go to this course. I go to the settings, and I say over here below, "The course is closed." The price is 5 dollars, and the button URL refers to the WooCommerce product. So let's see how it looks. Right mouse click, incognito. So now I click on more information, and if I click on take this course, I go to this page. Now I can add it to the cart, I can view, the cart, I can proceed to the checkout and I can leave my details. But this is not really appealing in my opinion. What I want? When I click over here and I click on take this course, I want to go to a beautiful landing page where I can leave my details instead of this thing over here. So how can I do that? We need cart flows for that and we're going to use the free version, and in order to get it we go to ferdykorp.com/cartflows. Hit ENTER, flows then I click on get cart flows and you used to get the free version over here. Maybe they hid it somewhere. Okay, you can try it for free. Okay, let's go back to the backend, to plugins. Add new, and search for cart flows. It's updated a day ago, it's a really good plugin and I click on install now. Activate, awesome. Now we can start the wizard, but I want to skip the setup, and I want to create a landing page with the WooCommerce checkout but then check out that is designed better, and that is done with cart flows. So over here I see cart flows, I can go to flows, I want to add a new one. So I click on add new, and I need to have Elementor installed, so I go to Plugins > Add new and I search for Elementor, the best free page builder in the whole universe assuming there are no aliens with better page builders for WordPress. That will be something, you know, people from a different planet. Or people aliens, using WordPress for their websites. Something to think about, you know, when you're thinking about life. Those are the questions I have, like hey, do aliens use WordPress? And if so, would they also be able to have wi-fi, maybe they have 6G, I don't know. So let's go back to cart flows and then to flows. Add new, that's where we were, and now we can choose a few products. There are pro-versions, for the pro version of cart flows, but also free ones and you can take a look -- all the steps, and there are two steps. So there's the checkout so you can have all this information and then the checkout, and then when people buy it, you can create a page like this. Well actually, I like this one. So you can say something about your product, you can go back, take a look at other ones. Also here, also nice, trusted by reviews, frequently asked questions, and this one they're also beautiful. Man, it's hard to choose. Three pages, the landing page, the checkout page, and the thank you page. I only want to use the checkout page, but I want to use the checkout page as a landing page. I'll show you how you can do that. So if we would take this one for instance, and we import it, what will happen? We can give this a name, and I call this affiliate marketing, of course. You can have a checkout for every single course you have. Right now, I want to focus on only one. It's importing the flow, then it's redirecting everything and there are the three steps. So over here, if I take a look at, or I click on view, I see this whole page, and it's made with Elementor. So we can we can change the look and feel over here. We can change this, and then when we click over here, then we go to the checkout page but there's no product selected. So the first thing we need to do, we need to add a product to this flow. How can we do that? Let me go to the checkout page, click on edit. Yes, then I go to products, I add a new product, and I search for affiliate, and there it is already. I add new product then I scroll down and I save it. Now, what I want to do as I said before, I want to go back and I don't want to have a landing page but I want my check out page and landing page to be one page. So what I can do? I can click on edit, so I edit the landing page, edit with Elementor and by the way, I have a lot of tutorials about Elementor. It's my favorite free page builder and the pro version also has a lot of beautiful features and I have tutorials about every subject. Right now, I click on this arrow up, and I click on save as a template. Landing page. So now it will save the whole page that has been created with cart flows like that. Okay. Then I click here, I exit to the dashboard, back to the step editing and back one more time. Then I want to remove the landing page, delete, and then at the checkout page, I click on view, this is how it looks right now. This looks better than the normal one from WooCommerce, and I click on edit with Elementor. Then I want to click on the plus over here, then I click on this folder, I go to my templates, and I insert the landing page. Okay. This can be removed, okay. So now we have the landing page, and this page in one. I click on update, okay. Let me go back over here, refresh this, okay -- the checkout page. What I want to do? I want to change the name for the checkout page. If I click on view it is called .com/checkout page. But it's only the checkout page for this course, maybe we have multiple courses while in that case, you can change the name. If you want to do that, go to the checkout page, go to the WordPress editor, and then over here at the permalink, wait, wait, wait... The page was not fully loaded yet. I wait a second and then I go to the permalinks, and I say AMF, AMC course checkout page. Update. So now this is the whole link. So I click over here, this is the checkout page. So what happens? I can watch all this information and if I'm like I want to buy this, then I can leave my details over here, pay and place the order. After I place my order, let me go back here, I go to the thank you page. So also the thank you page can be adjusted with Elementor. So I can have a thank you video, I like videos so what I'll do, I make a video and say thank you. What you can do right now, you received an email and then you can log in or create your own password and then get access to the course. So let's connect all the dots to each other or other links. So I go to my website in incognito, $5, more information. Take this course for five dollars. Now, I go over here; that is not what I want. So what I will do, as you have seen, we have this checkout page. I want to refer to that page. So I go to the course, affiliate marketing course, then I go to the settings, I scroll down, and here at closed I paste this link. Okay. But now, it's still a little bit weird. So if I go to the backend, I go to the frontend, right mouse click -- incognito. It's a weird process right now. Okay, five dollars, interesting, let me click over here. Oh, there's more information, here's an overview of what we can cover. Okay, then I click over here. Now you see a whole page about this, and then I can check out. So for me that is not, yeah I don't know... It feels a little bit weird. Okay forgive me for what I'm gonna do right now. I'm gonna change a few things in the beginning, it looks a little bit odd. But what I want to show you, I want to show you different ways on how to do things. So what I will do now, I will show you how you can create the same kind of results in Elementor, and then I want to link, the link on the homepage directly to the landing page. So I want to skip a page, I'll just show you how it will look. After that, we're going to make it, switch it back. But I just want to give you all the options that are possible, so forgive me if it looks a little bit clumsy, but in the end it will all be fine. In the end, we'll have a beautiful website with a beautiful member area, beautiful courses. In the end, it will be fine. So bear with me for the next part of this tutorial. So what I can do, let me go to the homepage. Edit the page. Beside, I remove all the stuff by going to the code editor, Command A, Backspace update. Then I want to edit this page with Elementor. I create a new area with three columns, then I want to add an image. I click here, I go for this course and I want to go for a heading -- the affiliate or affiliate marketing course. I go to the style. Let's change the text color to black right now. We can make it a little bit smaller, bring it to the center. Let me see, go to the content center. Okay. We can have a small text. So let me go to the homepage, to courses, and then grab this text. Paste it over here. Okay. And then I can have a button of the whole width that goes to, let me see, go to the backend, are still with me? I know I'm covering a lot. Let's go to cart flows, flows, this one, checkout page, view. Copy this link, and paste it over here. Update. So what happens now, you skip a part, people go to the home page, this is the home page, they can click here, then they go to the landing page, and there they can check out for the course if they want to. You see it over here -- the affiliate marketing course for five dollars, you can have a coupon code maybe. But there are no payment options. So before I talk about payment options, let me first make everything look a little bit better. So I want to go to the customizer, and I click over here on the logo area. I want to select a logo, and I have it over here. The logo is white. Skip the cropping. So what I need to do? First let me remove the title, and make it a little bit smaller. I need to make the background dark, so I can click over here, click on this icon, go to design and then the background color is this color. Okay, then I go to the primary menu, to design, and I make the text link white. When people hover over it, a little bit gray. Okay. Perfect. Publish. I want to go back to the icon, right now we see WordPress over here. So I want to change the favicon, how can I do that? I go to the logo again, and I scroll down, then here's the site icon. I can drag it over here, skip the cropping, and now it looks like that. Affiliate marketing course, then we have this menu over here, while the menu is automatically generated. So I want to create a custom menu. So I will go back over here, go back and I go to the menus. I create a new menu. I call this one main menu. I want to add it to the primary area which is this one. Then I click on next, now you see nothing. So I can add a few items if I want to. Add an item, well I have the homepage already. So I can click on the plus and it will appear over here. Right now we don't see it because the website is really small, but I can also create a new page -- about. Or I can add a custom link, really handy. Where is it? Over here, custom link. So I go to Facebook, I go to my private family group which is for the people that bought my course. So I paste over here and I say Facebook group. Add to the menu and people should be able to reach out. So I create a new page called contact and I add it over here. Publish, and now it looks like that. Well, if people click over here they go to the homepage. So I don't need the home page. Publish, but what we can also do, there's so much we can do. Let me go over here to this page. Right now, it's called AMC checkout page. What I also can do, I can go over here, go to the checkout page, edit it, edit with the WordPress editor, change the name over here to Affiliate Marketing course. LP for landing page, and then over here I say affiliate marketing course LP for landing page. Update. Okay. So now if I copy this, and I paste it over here, this is the page people will go to. You know I cannot smell if you're going to sell one course or multiple courses, I wish I could smell I think, you're going to sell one course? Am I right? Well 50% chance. More people, other people will probably sell multiple courses. Well, either way, I want to show you what is possible with both situations. So what I want to do now, if you only sell one course on your website, maybe you want to have a landing page? What is a landing page? It is a long page where people land on when they go to your website and that page has one goal: to let people buy the product you promote. So you can place a lot of information over there, a nice video about what the product is, testimonials from what other people think it does for them; you can make that such a beautiful page, and in the end people can click on the "buy now" button or they can go directly to the checkout on the landing page, and it has no distractions. So people can do two things, or they can leave the page or they can buy the product. So you want to make sure that people don't have too much options. So if you create a page with a menu with 20 different options, the chance of them clicking on the buy now button is less than when there are only two options. One option closing the site, the other option buying the product, or the third option they just keep their website open. But the longer, they keep their website open, the more google thinks it's a good website. So then you will rank better. So win-win -- there we are again. It's a win-win situation. So that's what we're going to do right now. I will show you how to create a landing page, and then use it as your homepage. I just had a voice crack, please don't use it in different videos that people make that are combined of people on Youtube having voice cracks. I don't want to record this part again, because I think I was in the flow yeah, okay. Maybe, I should record again, no. It's what it is, I'm making it worse. So let's continue with this part of the tutorial. I can also make this the homepage so there's only one landing page for this website with one goal: to make somebody a customer. In that case, you can go to the customizer, go to the home page, settings. Over here choose the affiliate marketing course LP. So what happens now, let me close everything. If people go to my website, this is the first thing they will see. Okay. So now I need to make this really appealing so I can make visitors, customers by showing how great my course is. Of course, the course then, needs to be great. So that is what we can do now. You see there is no header, no heading, and no footer. Why? Because this is a landing page, and the landing page has one goal: to make the visitor, the customer. So if you, say the Facebook group, and About us and get in contact, you can distract people from your goal and the goal is to make them a customer. Now, you need to build your landing page. Well, I have to be honest. I'm not good with that. I'm not a good salesman. I'm just a nice guy. I can learn it, I know and I'm learning it. But if you want to know how to create a landing page, just take a look at other people, for instance clickfunnels.com. Those guys are the best in creating good landing pages. So there's a title, start with a free trial, call to action, a nice video that makes it look really impressive with what they are doing. Then how many users they are building trust, like whoa! so many contacts, so many funnels -- 10 billion dollars already processed. What is a funnel? Answering questions, letting other people tell how great this product is. So there will definitely be testimonials. This one, there's a demo, a call to action and if you click over here, the first thing you need to, leave your details, and then you can go to the next step. So then when they get your email address, they will send you emails automatically. So here it shows you how great it is, and every time they show an image or a call to action, so call to action, no, not yet convinced. Okay, oh nice nice nice. Maybe, now they're convinced. Start a new trial. Maybe you're not convinced yet, you keep on reading. Now you're convinced. So they have that button all over the place with one goal: to make you buy this. You see all those testimonials, well this software is really expensive. I have used it. I think this is a better solution, cheaper solution, that can almost do the same things. So you can create this page if you want to with Elementor and with cart flows. So that's how you can create a sales funnel. What I want to do now, I want to focus on this area over here. So if people fill in their information, what will happen? Well, over here it says, it seems that there are no available payment methods for your state, please contact us if you require assistance. So what do I want to do? I want to link this with Stripe. If you take a look at stripe.com, it is one of the best payment providers in the world. It is really safe, and it's really easy to set up. I have a tutorial about it and I will show you how we can do that. So what I can do, what I've done already, I can go to the back end, I can go to LearnDash add-ons, and here it says Stripe for LearnDash. Well I don't need this one because I will link it to WooCommerce, so I will search for plugins > add new and then I search for Stripe, Stripe WooCommerce stripe payment gateway. Install now. I don't know there are a lot of dislikes, but for me this works like a charm. It's by WooCommerce, so you can trust them. I activate it. Okay. Then we can go to the settings, so right now we can go to WooCommerce > settings > payments and then over here, we can select Stripe > Credit Card Stripe, and you can have all these options now because we installed stripe. So you can say Stripe with credit card, you can have Paypal, you can have Stripe Bancontact, Giropay, EPS, ideal, which I really likes for people from the Netherlands and from Belgium. So I save the changes and now I need to set up my stripe account keys. I can click over here, or I go to payments, to settings, payments and then over here at stripe, I click on manage. And then I go to the same place. So what I like to say, credit card stripe is okay. Pay with your credit card via Stripe, and I want to enable the test mode. How can you do that? Well first, go to Youtube, how to set up a stripe account, and then ferdy. Here it is, a lot of views -- a simple explanation on how to set it up. When you've done that, you can go to Stripe, go to your dashboard. So I'm in my dashboard right now and then I go to Developers API keys and then we need to go to the test data and we're going to test it first by viewing test data. And now we can create a test key. So here it is already, publishable key. I copy it. So test publishable key. I paste it over here, I need to check that it's in test mode. Then there's the test secret key, and thats over here. You need to review it over here. Don't show this to anyone, I'll also blur it out for you -- not for you, I trust you of course, what? And then test webhook secret and say over here g6fffGf7jk, just kidding. For this code we need to go to webhooks, we need to add an endpoint, and over here, we need to find the endpoint which is this. Copy, and by the way you need to do this on a live website not on a test domain that's not live. So the endpoint url is over here, I found it over here. Then description, AMC course. I use the newer version and event to send -- I say charge over here because if this all works correct, my account will be charged with money. Add the endpoint. Okay. I review the signing secret, copy it and then I place it over here. We can use an inline credit card form. Right now, I will not do that. I will show you later how it looks. Statement descriptor, well affiliate. This is what people will see on their bank account, affiliate marketing course. Capture the charge immediately. Well if you want to know more about it, I want to charge it immediately. Payment request button, yes, I turn it on. This is all fine with me. We can save cards so the next time they buy something, their details are stored. Of course, we cannot see it. It's encrypted. I like that so people can buy the next thing easier. Save the changes. I believe that the easiest way for people to get access to your course is by letting them create their own username and password while they are checking out. What you also can do is that people can just sign up, pay the money and then they need to click on the link to get a username. They need to click on a link to create their own password but the best way is if they do it in the checkout, because then they get access to the course immediately. They click on the buy now button and when the payment is processed, they have access immediately. They can click on a link and they go to an overview with their courses without needing to do a lot of other stuff like creating custom passwords. So that's what we're going to do right now. Then we go to accounts and privacy. If I open this in a new tab, I remove this area over here, and I go to the checkout, what I see over here, I can leave my email address, but that's it. I want people to create an account, so I want to do a few things over here. When people are not logged in, I don't want to have guest checkouts. People need to create an account in order to buy a course. So I uncheck allow customer to place or without an account. They need an account, and over here in account creation there are a few options. Allow customers to create an account during the checkout. Yes allow customers to create an account on the my account page? No. When creating an account automatically generate an account username for a customer based on name, surname, or email? No. And when creating an account automatically change generate an account password? No. I want them to create their own password. Okay. So I save it then ladies and gentlemen, it's time to log out and to check everything out if it works. So I go to the website, not being logged in and there's my page. Interesting, interesting, interesting. Okay, I'm convinced. I leave my details over here and then I need to create an account over here with a username, so I say Ferdy Korpershoek, I create a password and of course you need to fill in all these other fields over here. I want to buy this course for just five dollars and then I want to use the test at Stripe. So I copy this, paste it, paste it. And if I want to, I can save the payment information. If I want to do future purchases, that's amazing so if people like my course and they want to buy my photoshop course, the checkout will be easier because their information will be stored. It will be encrypted of course, so I cannot see it and other people cannot see it. Then I can place the order and what will happen now. I used Ferdy Korp gmail so I need to check my mail. I will go to the thank you page which is this one. I can save my settings over here, so this is interesting. I bought five dollars, this is the course I bought, blah blah blah. So now if I go to my gmail account, what will happen? I have a few emails. First one your account has been created. My username which I defined myself or created myself then, thank you for your order. Okay, and then thank you for shopping with us. Okay. So now, I should have a link over here. I prefer to make a video like hey thank you for purchasing, you made an amazing choice. Now it's time to get your hands dirty, watch the course and become rich, filthy rich so you can give a lot of money away to other people, to inspire other people. I don't know, have more time to do whatever you want to do. So now, I should have a link that says go to your account. So my-account, that is a page right now because we have WooCommerce. So now we're here at my account, and a few things I see and I want to change them. There's no space over here, because this area is created with Gutenberg. I want to create it with Elementor. Second one, I want to have this page in my menu over here, so I can go directly to my account. The third thing I don't see an overview with my courses, and I don't see my profile, so I want to fix it all and that's what I'm going to do right now. So what I will do, I go over here to log out, then I log in with my administrator account, and then I want to edit this page. And then I see this short code, I will copy this shortcode, remove everything -- by the way maybe you don't see this because I need to click over here and go to the code editor instead of the visual editor -- so go to the code editor. Copy that code. I click on update. Now I want to edit My Account page with Elementor. Right now it's the account page of WooCommerce and WooCommerce is not related with LearnDash, so we don't see anything about our courses. I want to show that, so what I will do? I will click on the plus over here with Elementor, one column and then over here I click and I search for short code. Before I continue, I want to do a few things. I click here, go to the user preferences, make the interface of Elementor dark and turn on the editing handles. That's what I prefer. I go back, I search again for shortcode, and I drag it over here. Now, I can paste the shortcode and there it is. But now, I can go to advanced, and I can increase the margin. So there will be a little bit more space over here. So let's say 40 pixels, update. So this is what I see right now. But I want to see more. In order to see more about my profile for instance, I go to ferdykorp.com, hit enter, then go to tutorials and here LearnDash tutorial, and there is a short code for you. So I scroll down, over here is the short code for our profile. I want to show my profile over here. So I click on the plus, plus, click over here, and then I want to go for a short code again. I drag it here, and this is that short code. Look at this, this looks so much better. I see how many courses I have -- affiliate marketing course. I see my progress. So that's really nice. I want to show one more thing. So over here I click on the plus again, plus one area, Again, I go for a short code, the third one on this page. Wow. And then I go over here and I grab this code. Click three times, copy it, paste the code and now you'll see all the courses with your progress if you have that course. So what I also can do click over here, and give it a dark background look. So something like that or maybe bluish. Well I have a few colors I want to use. So what I will do, click over here, hold command or control and I click. Then I want to go to the WordPress logo, don't save this area. Then I want to go to LearnDash settings and I want to make use of those colors. This color, copy it, and then over here. I go to this icon. Site settings, global colors, the first color, paste it. Okay. Then there's the second color, and I use the accent color, and I paste it. Okay. So now I have those global colors what I can do now, I can go close this, click over here, go to the style, grab a global color by clicking on this icon and now I can use this color. Okay, also here go to advanced, heading, check and this bring it all a little bit closer. Same goes for this area. How about 30 everywhere. Also here, 30, and here. Let me see, okay. Let's say 30, then I go to this element and there I remove this. So now it looks like this. Our profile page or our account, then I want to go over here to the dashboard, I close this, I close this, and I close this. I go back to this WordPress icon, okay. Then I go to Appearance > Menus and I want to search for all the pages and then the my account page. I add it over here. So we have About, Facebook group, Contact, My Account. Save the menu, but if I go to the home page, remember our home page is landing page. So let's bring it back. I just want to show you multiple options that's why I sometimes do something and then change it back later. How can I do that? I go to the customizer. Over here, I go to the home page settings and bring this back to the home page. Okay. Publish. Close this and I want to edit this with Elementor, but not create this manually, but this time go again to ferdykorp.com, to tutorials LearnDash tutorial, and again I want to grab this area. Click three times, get rid of this, create a new area with a short code element, and there I want to show all my courses. I only have one. Apply, and then above that, I can have this header that says our most popular courses. So right now, we go back to a multiple course system and bring it to the center. Go to advanced, increase the margin a little bit, update. So how does our website look right now? I click over here so I go to the homepage, our most popular courses. I click over here and I see this overview and if I've not bought it yet, then I can click over here and then I go to the landing page I can buy it. So right now, if I would log out, and I go to the home page, and I click on my account, then I need to log in. So I better get this area on top over here, because I'm not logged in right now. I log in with the account that I use to buy a five dollar course, and then I see I have one course. Over here and I can continue with that course. And also when I'm logged in, I go to my account. I can scroll down, and I can log out or change my details over here, change my payment method. So I rather bring this area on top because if I go to a different area, this area changes, but you don't see it, so people can be a little bit confused, and I don't want to confuse people. So so far, so good. If I go to my home page, our most popular courses and you can make this page as beautiful as you want. So we can create more courses, create group courses, so you can buy two courses for the price of one. Or you can sell membership so that people can pay one amount per month, or per year or per week or I don't know, and then have access to everything that you have to offer. I will make a tutorial in the future on how to create your own community around this using buddy boss and as I said before, this is a real course, I really want to use courses.ferdykorpershoek.com for my courses. So I have to make it as good as possible and everything I do I will show you that in this tutorial. So what I want to do now, I want to log out, and adjust a few things. I want to log in as an administrator and I want to edit this page first, edit with Elementor. I can bring this area up. I can even make the background dark. I like to work with dark areas then light areas, oh not like this. So I click over here on the column, then I go to the background, make it white. It's also easy with Elementor. Then I want to go to this area, section top, make a small white border otherwise they have both the same background. So this is how it looks right now. I think that looks amazing. Open, what else do? Well, if I go to a new window, incognito let me go to the homepage, and I click over here, and I take this course. I see a page that does not exist because we changed the link over here. So what I need to do, go to the back end, go to cart flows, flows. Edit, edit, edit with WordPress, and then I click over here and I go to the permalink. Grab this. I go back, and then I want to go to courses > the affiliate marketing course > settings and scroll down and custom url. Paste it and then of course, grab this first area, copy. So if you grab the whole link, it should go to the landing page. Yes, update. Now, I want to go to the home page. Right mouse click, open in incognito window, more information -- wow just five dollars for all the stuff, how great is that? And then I click on take this course, and then I go to the landing page. There I can fill in all this information, I will do that, I will show you what I will fill in, and then I can leave my details, pay with credit card and then after that I go to this page. Let me go to flows, affiliate marketing course. I go to the thank you page, edit with Elementor and there I can change the background color to my style like that. Thank you your order has been received, join the community, I don't have that. So I can say thank you, or congratulations on your purchase. Let me see if I can have a nice icon. Yes. Also, here I remove this area, nothing, and then I want to have a button here below in the center, and I say go to your account. Link/my-account or you can say my, and I see an option my-account, and here you see the information. So after they buy it, they go to this page, congratulations on your purchase, go to your account. When they go to their accounts, they go to this page, and they see this information and then here they see they've enrolled in this course, and they can go to that course and when they click on one of the course lessons they go to this area. So we're getting there and I see this area because I'm the administrator, but if you're another administrator you just bought my course, they don't see this area. They can focus on everything that is here. So we're getting there but now we are only talking about one course. What if you want to sell multiple courses? What if you want to sell bundles, like two courses for the price of one and a half, or you want to sell a membership. How can you do that? So I will go to the back end and of course this time I will show it a little bit faster. So I go to courses or LearnDash LMS Courses and I want to add my Photoshop course. So I click on add new, and I do the same process as with the Affiliate Marketing Course. I give it a title, ultimate, Photoshop Mastery. This is how I type with a lot of errors. I can say something about the course. Okay. Then I want to go to course, scroll down, set a featured image and I go to my desktop, Ultimate Photoshop Mastery. I set it as a featured image. I can create a course category -- Design. And then a subcategory Photoshop with the parent Design. Add it and publish. So let me see, when I would go to the home page. It will show the second course -- nice. Now, I want to go to the settings, scroll all the way down and create a short description, and custom button text is learn more. Copy this. Update it, because right now it says more information and see more. So I want to change that. So I go to the courses, also the Affiliate Marketing course, then I go to the settings. Scroll down all the way and paste it here at the custom button text. Because I want to have everything to look the same. So over here I have two rows, two lines -- here I have three. So what I will do, I will go to this course, learn how to build a passive income stream while helping other people on automatic pilot. I'll show you step by step, how it can be done. Let's see if I have three lines for both courses now. Yes, so I like that. They look exactly the same in the height and the width. Okay. Then of course, I need to go back to the course and then to the Photoshop Mastery course and then to the builder because I need to create the content for this course. Well, I have it over here. So I start with the intro, so first a new section, 01 Introduction, and then I create my lessons again. So I'll fast forward because you know, how this works. Paste it. Add the lesson, etc. So I'll be back with you. So this is the overview of what I will cover in my Photoshop Course and I click on update. I go to the settings, if I want, I can have course materials, I have a course certificate I want to talk about it later. We discussed all this, the only thing I want to do, I want to go to closed, I want to make this course $67 and I will create a button URL, but then first, I need to create a product for this. So I go back to the courses, I close this, then I go to products, add new and then I create the ultimate Photoshop Mastery Course. Copy this course for the price of $67 and it is over here, LearnDash courses, The Ultimate Photoshop Mastery Course. That's all to it. Publish. Then I go to cart flows, that's the third thing we need to do. Then after the affiliate marketing course, I click over here, I clone this one and then after that you see the word clone, I click on edit and I call this one The Ultimate Photoshop Mastery. Copy this, I save it, then I want to edit the landing page. Edit, I change the name LP -- landing page. Then I click on save the settings, then I want to edit this with WordPress, so I click over here. Here's the right title, but here in the permalink, I want to use this one. Tab, update. So now if I click here, I go to the landing page of the Ultimate Photoshop Mastery. I copy the whole link, then I want to go back to the step editing, then I want to go to products, and here of course I do not promote affiliate marketing course, but I promote another product, which is called photoshop -- ultimate photoshop mastery. So in that way we can link everything to each other, and then I save the settings, and that link which I just copied, I need to paste it over here at courses. Then the ultimate photoshop mastery course, then I need to go to the settings and the more I do this the easier it becomes. And then over here, I need to paste that link. So that was a lot in a short time. So right now, if I refresh this page, people click on learn more, let's do that in an incognito window. Awesome. This is how it looks. We can take the course then we go to the landing page, Ultimate Photoshop Mastery and then here below people can leave the details. And over here it says The Ultimate Photoshop Mastery course. So that's how you do it, and the price is $67, and I should give people the opportunity to log in if they're already a member. We can do that here at the backend, to WooCommerce settings, account and privacy, allow customers to log in to an existing account during the checkout. So if they're already a member, there's an opportunity for them to log in, and then they don't need to fill in all their details again. And then when they buy that course, it will be added to their overview over here. So I have two courses now, why because I'm the administrator. So I automatically will be added to every course that there is on the website. Okay. So next question, how can we combine those two courses for a special price? So let me see, what is the price? So first let me go to the other course, The Affiliate Marketing Course. Let's make it at settings, $197 update. Right mouse click, open in incognito window. $197, $67 okay. So what is good price to combine them? Let's say $227, so you get quite some discount if you get them both. Well, how can we do that? Okay, let me show you. We go to the backend, we create a new course, add new. Why do I create it over here? Because I want it to be over here in this overview. So I call this one Affiliate Marketing and Photoshop. That's everything I will place over here and a featured image. So I go to the homepage, here's the bundle. So you see 50% off the course, one course 50% of the other course. I click on publish. I don't need to build the outline. I'll show you later why. I need to go to the settings, close this make it 224 dollars and the button URL, I need to make it. So let me go over here, to the back end. Then I go to WooCommerce, products, add new, and I copy the title. Copy and paste, and over here, I say it's a total of $224 or here I can actually say normally it will be $276 minus $374, but this time it's for $227. It includes affiliate marketing course, and it includes Ultimate Photoshop Mastery. Publish. Then I need to go to cart flows, flows, and I clone it again. So here I can click and I can paste it again. Save it, I click on edit, paste it, save it, save the settings, add it in WordPress and then I go to the permalink, paste it, tap update, and over here is the link, I click on it, I copy this and here it says Affiliate Marketing and Photoshop. I paste that link over here, but before I forget, I need to go to the step, back to the step editing. Then I go to products, and here I need to remove this one, and I add a combined one. So let's save it, close it, so let's go to the home page. Now, I see three courses, I have no information over here. Right mouse click, open the link in an incognito window, let me go back to the home page, this one is 224, see more -- two courses. Take this course, and there it is. And if I scroll down, I see it's the Affiliate Marketing and Photoshop for this price. And when I buy this, I go to my account, then I will see I have access to two courses -- Affiliate Marketing and Ultimate Photoshop. So that's how it will go, all automatically and over here it says: returning customer, click here to log in. So if you click here, you can log in, you don't need to fill in all this information. You can pay and if you have save your credit card, it will auto automatically be filled in over here. Of course, you need to fill in your cart code and your cvc, and then people can pay easier. So that's a nice way to do that to combine that. And what you also can do if you want to, you can change this to recurring, and say every year, one time per year you pay $199 and then you can say for the rest of your life, every year as long as you pay $199 you will get access to all the courses. Then in the product area you need to add all the courses to this. Or a one-time payment of $997 and you will have access to all the courses that will come in the future for a lifetime, for a one-time payment of $997, and then of course you need to change thumbnail, change the title -- all that stuff. So that's how you can do this. I will keep it at closed and then this link, update, and of course, since we're here at the settings, to crafts and you will succeed. Of course, you cannot not guarantee anything these days and be careful with that. You can you definitely will make money with this. But for the sake of the tutorial, I will just place it over here. It's four lines, so I want to remove one. Let's see how this looks, okay. Two lines over here and here and here. Three lines everywhere. So that's what you can do. So I just bought the combination package and right now I see I have two courses. So I don't see the combination course this one. I only see the courses that are contained in this package. So what I can do, if I click over here, I go to this area. I don't like that, so what I can do, I can copy this link everything from .com on, so with the forward slash, from that moment on, I copy this and I close this and I go to the backend. I close this, I go to plugins. Add new, and I search for redirection. Everybody that goes to that page should go to a different page. So I click on activate. I need to set it up. It's just clicking a little bit, start, continue, finish. Finished, then over here I click on okay, and I say add new or I go over here. I paste the link. So it says everybody that goes to courses.korpershoek.com/affiliate-marketing-photoshop, should go to a different url. So I go to courses, I open them in a new tab. I go to the affiliate marketing and photoshop course. I go to the settings, and I redirect them to this URL, so they go immediately to the landing page because there's no course content. So right now, I go to the home page and I click on see more. I will be redirected to the landing page immediately. You see. So that's really nice because then they don't see there's no course content, and over here I should have a text about this combination offer for just $224. And to be honest $67 for this course is not much, so I should also make it $97 or a little bit more, then I can also create a new price for the combination, maybe $249 or $247. But it's all up to you depending on the course you have, what kind of price you want to make, what kind of combination do you want to make. So what I want to do now -- there's so much I want to do -- of course, we're going to take a look at certificates, but right now, I want to change the look and feel of this website. So it's not an affiliate marketing course website anymore, it's more than that because I also sell Photoshop, I sell combinations. So what I will do, I will show you how I will change the information right now. I click on customize, then I want to go to this area, and I want to make the background of the header white. So I go to design > background > make it white. Then I go to this primary menu, and I want to go to design > the text link > I want to make it a dark color. Well, in order to get a dark color, copy, paste. Go to the backend, to the LearnDash, settings and here I grab that dark color. So I paste it, and when people hover over it, I can make it a little bit lighter if I want to. Like that. Then, I want to go to the menu font, I want to make it let me see transform or uppercase case, and I want to make it 400. Yeah it's already that. Okay, then I want to change the logo. So I click over here, remove the logo, select the logo, I just created a logo. I'm not a designer, but it's just something I can do in Photoshop really easily. I have tutorial about that, how to create a logo in Photoshop -- the FK: Ferdy Korpershoek Academy. I want to talk about, in the future, getting more out of life, becoming successful or changing your mindset. So I want to make courses about that. So that's nice and okay. I like the header right now. I click on publish, then I want to go back and back, and I want to go to the menus. Okay. Main menu, I don't want to have an about page, people can know about me through Youtube. For my account, I want to have that and I can change contact, remove it and then over here, there's a custom link to the Facebook group CMD+A, CMD+C. Then I go and add an item and it will be a custom link and it says this link should be the an active link when people click on support. So when people click on support, they go to the Facebook group, and there they can ask the questions. So two times the same link, but it helps people to go to the right place. You know what, change the order. Okay. Then, I want to close this, I want to edit this page with Elementor, and I want to add a new area. Click on the plus, one column, then I want to change the height to a minimum height of 400. I go to the style, to the background type, I click over here on gradient, the first color is this color the second color is also that color but then a little bit lighter. And you can have, you can save this color if you want to, as a second color in your website. I change the angle to 90, then I click over here, I search for a header. I drag it over here, and I say over here, do you like my tutorials on YouTube, then you will also like my courses, and then a happy face. Okay I want to bring this to the center, I want to go to the style, make the color light, make the typography family Raleway, change the transform to uppercase. Then I go to the content, and here I do a small code, like that. This one and then it goes to a new line, okay, then I click over here, I want to go to the style, or I mean advanced and then over here the background, change the background type, to color and then change it to this color, and then I want to make it a little bit transparent. Okay. Then I want to go here at advance of the heading, to positioning. Change the width to custom, okay, and then I go to advanced, and I increase, sorry, sorry, sorry. I increase the padding. Sometimes I still get confused. Like that, then I uncheck this area and at the left I say come on a little bit more to the center please, okay. Okay, then I go to the section, to the style, and then there's a background overlay. I click on background type, image, and I search for an image of myself with a transparent background, and teeth that are made whiter in Photoshop and I made my face a little bit smaller. I really did. Then I want to change the size to contain and 3 Ferdies are better than 2. So now I don't want to have repeat, so I click on repeat: no repeat, and then the position: center, and right. Like that. Then I want to make myself fully visible, and I think this looks better already. If I click on the eye, you see it looks like this. I like it a lot. Do you like my tutorials on Youtube, then you will also like my courses. Come on Ferdy Korpershoek, courses. I use Grammarly, because I have a lot of errors in my way of typing things. So that helps me. Okay. I think the website is really wide, so I can change that. If I go to the customizer, I can go to the global settings > container and I can change the size to 1120, and then everything becomes a little bit smaller. Then I want to do the same at Elementor. So I click over here, so I go to the homepage. I click on edit with Elementor. I click on this icon, site settings and then over here, layout 1120. So it's all aligned better, this area until this area, and I saved it. So if I click on the eye, click over here, that looks a little bit better. But now you see, I have a fourth line because I made the website a little bit smaller. I don't want to have... I want everything to be the same. So what I will do? First, let me add an L, Command + Click > Edit the course. And by now, you should know how to navigate. I go to settings, and otherwise I will show you and over here is a small text. Then I click over here in the new tab, edit the course, settings and I need to make it a little bit smaller. Let me see if this is enough. Refresh. It's two lines now, okay. You can start at once. I don't know, just say something, to fill out the text. Refresh; three lines, awesome. Okay. I go back over here and I change this to our course overview. Then I click on this icon over here and I search for A anchor link, anchor menu, menu anchor. I drag it over here below this text, and I type the text overview without capitals. Then I go back over here to all the elements, and I search for a button, drag it over here, and I say courses overview, something like that. And the link is #overview. That means, when you click here you go to this area. Then I like the color orange and here at margin or padding, I uncheck this and I say left. No, no, no, I do it again, the wrong way. Uncheck this at the left and bring it over here. Do you like my tutorials on Youtube? Then you will also like my courses as well. Let me check, how it looks, and if I update it this page, I update it, then if I click over here, I go to this area. Maybe drag it on top. Okay, and then over here at the top, increase some spacing. Update, automatically this area will be refreshed. Now, when I click over here I go to the course overview. Okay, so this looks better when you go over here. I want to make this a little bit thicker, so I go to the customizer. I click over here, or using the Astra theme, and then I go to design to the font > menu font and I make it 500. Publish. Close it. Awesome. Facebook group, My Account Support > Course overview. You can also change this area. So I go to the customizer again, so I go to the footer builder and over here I make the design background dark. So again, I need to get this color where can I get it? Well, I can go over here, to the primary menu design, grab this color, copy, go back, go back, go to the footer builder, click over here, go to design and change the background to this color. Then I go to the copyright area, to design, change the text color to white. Okay, and then I can go to general, and I can have the copyright sign with the current year and then the site title. I should change the site title and then I remove the power buy area, and then over here you could have a privacy policy, a disclaimer, and terms of use. You can make them all links. So select the text, make a link /privacy-policy, then you need to create those pages. So keep in mind that you need to do that. Disclaimer, link to /disclaimer. So you need to create three pages, and then fill in those details. I'm not a lawyer or something like that, but you can find on YouTube or on the internet how you can create a text or you go to a lawyer that can do that for you. Terms of use; there are also a lot of examples on the internet, but especially when you create something that's about making money online, you should have some very clear text over here about that. You need to do your best in order to make money online and it's not something that can be guaranteed because a lot of people say, "Oh, making money online is easy, and then they get in trouble with lawyers and stuff." So you need to be sure about what you offer, and show it over here. Okay, I think you know what I mean. Okay, I hide it. Let's close it, and let's let's go to the Elementor editor. I also want to take a look on how things look on a different device. Tablet, yes. On a smartphone. So on a smartphone, I can click over here, this looks fine or on the smartphone I can say go to the style of the section, style and then the overlay. I can see the... size should be auto, or cover or contain, or custom. With custom I can do whatever I want, I can also remove the image, or I can bring it to the bottom. So bottom right, make it smaller. Over here, I will bring it to the center. So when I go to a tablet, it looks like this, when I go to a desktop, it looks like this, and when I go to a mobile it looks like that. Same over here, it looks fine in my opinion. In the future I will also show you how you can create an app but I need to be careful with what I promise. You can do it with BuddyBoss. I want to do it for my own courses because I want to create a lot of courses, and then right now everything is optimized and in the future people can also watch my courses on an app, and then they can interact with each other, ask questions and in that way, I can have a successful academy next to my Youtube channel. Oh man, great times. Why is this colored like this? Well, I said that all the links should have a certain color. So if I go to the customizer, global colors, the link colors, this color; I want to change it to this orange color which I really like. I am from the Netherlands, we play in orange. So when people hover over it, it can become even lighter and then over here, it looks like that. Awesome! Then I need to change the title of my website. I go to the backend and to settings, general and then I say Ferdy Korpershoek academy, learn a new craft and become successful with it. If I don't know if the words correct, I think there should be added one letter, copy it, copy it, paste it and a capital for every new word because this is my website and I can decide what I want to do... with it. And I save it, and of course, this area I don't know why it's not the case yet, I need to add an S and then I need to log in again. So now it's super secure. It already was, but I just like to do that. So our course overview, our footer, my hard drive is almost full because of all the recordings. Okay. I need to finish it up and then make some space and continue. Yeah, I want to get rid of this image. It's such a big image and I want to focus on this area, how can we do that? I click on edit course and since I use the Astra theme there are a few options over here at the right. One of them, if I scroll down all the way is disable the featured image. I click on update, I go back to the courses, I go to the homepage I click on the first course, and now it is gone. Awesome. So I can also use Gutenberg to create information over here. You have the course content but I think it looks better when you go over here. You immediately see the title, and all this stuff. We can also combine this page with the landing page. So if you go and you would click on, so let's go to the incognito window. You can also combine this page with this page. So you have everything in one page, and then below that page, you can check out and then over here you can say click here and when you click there, you go to this area, So that's the real landing page and then you can also have this area over here, the title and you have more freedom to start the way you want it. If you want that then watch that tutorial over here, or click on the description so you can see the tutorial. Right now, I will stick with this setup, and I want to do the same thing with the other courses over here, and over here -- command tab, edit the course, this one is not necessary. So over here, I also say disable the featured image. Update. Back to the course. So I think we're really far already in the process of creating our complete course, that's all on automatic pilot. So if I click here, I want to see something about Photoshop. I see the title, and I see all that stuff and if I open this incognito, I click over here and I can buy this for $67, and if I click over here, I go to the landing page. So of course, we need to fix this landing page or we buy the bundle by clicking here, and we go directly to the landing page of this bundle. So now we need to create those landing pages. And as I said before, I'm not a good salesman when it comes to convincing people to buy this, even though I think the things I promote are really good. But I don't like to ask for how do you say that reviews from other people. There was even a guy who offered me to do a review, but now he's making around a thousand dollars per day. At least, he told me a few months ago and he had his first 1,000 per day a month, and then I'm like yeah but then do you still want to do the review because then people see who you are, they can go to you, they can ask you questions. So, and now I'm saying it over here, but I won't mention his name. But I'm just not good at it. So what I've done, I created an introduction video -- a free webinar, where people can watch, and if they watch that and they are excited, they can enroll into the course. So I click over here, and then I see this information. Okay, then people get excited. They want to buy it, and if they want to buy it, then they go to the cart flows page. So I need to go to the backend, to cart flows > flows and I go to the affiliate marketing course. I click on edit and I go to that landing page, edit and then edit with Elementor. Okay, what I will do, I will remove a lot of stuff which I don't need. What I want is a new area. So I click on the plus, plus two columns. In one column, I do a video that is from Vimeo, I paste the link, click here to watch the training and then over here, I copy the text. Let me see, copy, paste. I click over here. Copy this, let me go for a text editor. Okay, then this area, cut and I paste it here. Okay, I click over here to give it a dark background, okay. Then I want to increase this area a bit, make it a little bit higher. Okay. Then I want to make this area background white -- just playing, see if I can make it look better. Increase the margin, 20 and the padding, and then at the background, I want to make it, you know, I I don't want to have the background. Just make this white, okay. Be careful with a lot of text because people can... it can be yeah.. people don't like that. So what I also can do, maybe better CMD+Z, let me see. You can also drag this, okay. Let me click on another area. Okay, I drag this over here, and I drag this over here. Bring this to the center, and in this whole section, I want to say that the width be it 700. It can be a little bit more; space margin - 30. Then this should be bigger, and then this definitely should be bigger. Okay. Then the line height, okay. And the text can be a little bit darker. Oh, I can remove this. Whoa! that's big. Increase the padding, or the margin. Okay. Wait, wait, wait. What is going on. Yeah. Also, here I can give the custom width. Let's say 700 again. Yeah, then I don't need to play around with this stuff. Yeah, only at the bottom at the top. No, I want to include the background, so I need to do padding. Okay, click here to play. Let me go to the text, okay, that's okay. So I need to go to the padding, make it 0, 0. Bring it to the center. If I cannot do that over here, I should do it at the style -- center. Okay. So now I have my video over here, and then this area and then all this stuff. Sorry, I want to talk with respect because people made this for free for us, and then there's this area, and if you want to you can have this. I have a thing on my back on my computer, my desktop that says money back guarantee. And then over here, you should have in the disclaimer things like okay, but only when you have followed more than 40 of the course. But because there are people that just go and buy our course, they download everything they sell it as themselves and then they say I want to have an unsubscription. I want to have my money back. So be careful with that. So this is what I prefer -- clean, and here is all the information. Here in this video, I can have training, that's like 40 minutes long or I can have a two minute video that shows exactly what this course is all about, make people excited, include some reviews, some testimonials from people and that's how I prefer to do things. The same thing I can do with Photoshop course. Let me see if I can narrow this down to 700 or if it will become a mess. I don't think it becomes a mess. Always take a look on the tablet version. Oh man, it looks so beautiful. Oh wow. Okay over here, you know what, at the layout, I can change the height to something else, to the minimum. The last course you'll ever need, and then people can pay. I got a message. Hey Ferdy, be careful your phone number's on the internet, and I was like check the number; that's not my phone number. Okay, so that looks really good and the same thing you can do for the other courses. So what I can do, I can click over here, save it as a template, and I say landing page template, okay. There it is -- landing page template. Command + E -- home page. Click on it, or maybe better, the dashboard, click on it I go directly to the dashboard. Then I go to cart flows > flows then I go to the Ultimate Photoshop Mastery. I edit the landing page. Edit with Elementor, okay. Remove all this stuff, and then over here, click on the plus, click on the folder, my templates > landing page template. Okay, this is okay, this is okay. Here it says the Photoshop Mastery, so that's right, and this is okay and this should all be removed. Okay. Of course, we need to change the video. So if I go to Vimeo, I think I have a Photoshop Course Introduction video somewhere. Let's go to my videos, search for Photoshop, hit Enter. Yeah, I also have promo photoshop course, it can be a Dutch promo but right now, it doesn't matter. I just want to get the link, copy, paste it, okay. And then the last Photoshop. Just for reference, okay. People can buy it over here. Wow! it's getting better and better. So open it incognito. Okay, interesting. Oh $197, okay that's a lot of money; let's see what it is. Okay, I can watch this video or I can remove this data. Okay, this is what you will learn, and again you can decide if you want people to see this, I rather not let people see this. Okay interesting, take me to the course. What's next? Then there's a landing page and as I said before, we can combine those two. I can watch this video, I decided that people cannot skip through, they need to watch the whole thing, and then they can scroll down if they really want to buy it. And then I want to pay. It is still my test account, so if I want to make that a real account, I go to the backend let me go to Stripe, then I go to WooCommerce settings > Payments > Stripe > Manage and scroll down and I uncheck the test mode. So now I need to go to stripe, go to the dashboard, go to developers, API keys; this time no test data. I want to create a new secret key. The key name is coursesferdykorpershoek. This is for real, this is what I really will use. I need to fill in my password, okay. This is the key; publishable key. So I paste it over here, then, thank you Stripe, then there's the secret key. I paste it, and then there's the web hook. Add an endpoint and as I said before over here, you can find it, paste it, coursesferdykorpershoek. I use the newer version. I select event, charge, guilty as charge -- okay, another bad joke and now let me click to review. Copy it, and I paste it and I want to have the inline credit card form which it looks a little bit better, and here's the statement Affiliate Marketing: no. Courses Ferdy Korp. Get your charge immediately --- yes, yes, yes. Save the changes. The live publish build key should start with "pk_live". That's not the case, so I go to API keys again. Paste it. Save. Okay. So now when I log out, I go to the website. It says it's $197, but this is created in the course, but if I go to my product affiliate marketing course, it's just five dollars. So I click on learn more, as a brand new non-user, okay interesting. I will remove this let people go to this page, and they can watch my video. If they are convinced they can scroll down. Leave the email details stuff but this time it's [e-mail]. My username will be ferdyaffiliate. I will create a password and then over here, I can fill in my real credit card details. Keep in mind, I created my own account, username and password. So when I place the order I do not save this, I place the order, it says congratulations on your purchase go to your account, it just cost me five dollars. I go to my account. I'm a brand new user over here, and then if I scroll down, I see I have one course. If I click on affiliate marketing course there it is, my receipt from Stripe; awesome. They can go to [e-mail]. Let me check my mail over here. Welcome to Ferdy Korpershoek Academy, Thanks for shopping with us. Thank you for your order. Okay you can change all these settings. I have tutorial about that search for Youtube, or go to Youtube and search for WooCommerce tutorial, am I still number one? Yes, and there I will show you how you can do that. And if I would go to this video, it will probably say that is not possible - yes. Why? Because in the settings, I said everything needs to be done in chronological order. So I need to go to the first video. I need to watch it. Hi guys, my name is Ferdy. Okay, if I'm finished, I click on mark complete, and then I can go to the second video, and now I can follow the whole course and learn how to make money through the internet. Well, since I'm a member I can click over here go to the course home, then I can go to my account, and now if I want to, I can go to the home page and buy the second course, take this course. Again I see video, all this stuff, and then I can also buy this course. Then, it will appear automatically over here in my account. So now I can create multiple courses. If I take a look at my progress, I see I'm at one percent because I followed one video. So one more thing, I want to turn off the whole idea of that you need to follow the first video before you can go to the second video. So I click on logout. I'll log in with my administrator email, okay and do that. You go to the course, in this case, the affiliate marketing course. You go and edit the course, go to the settings. In here, it says linear, it requires the user progress through the course, and I say freeform. It allows the user to move freely through the course without following this designated step sequence. Update. So now people can go anywhere and everything will be fine. So as I promised, I wanted to talk about the dashboard. So I go to dashboard, then I go to LearnDash. I go to my account, then I want to download the pro panel. I go to plugins > add new, upload plugin, drag it over here, install now. Activate the plugin. Awesome! The plugin is activated so I can remove it over here. Maybe think okay, but where is it? Well, it's on your dashboard. So what we see over here. We see I have two students, three courses in total and here we can filter things. Well this is interesting if you have more people that are attending to your course, or your courses. You can see a lot of statistics. I've dived deep into it and what I found out, there's so much to cover that I will make a different separate tutorial about it, and that's about a lot of subjects because there are a few things we can do better. For instance, if I click over here, and I go to one of the courses, how great would it be if they would first need to leave their email address before they see more information. Then if they decide not to buy it, I can put them on an automatic email list and I can convince them to buy it, if it's really something they need. But sometimes, you need to help people a little bit to buy something. So I want to make a convertkit tutorial. You can find it soon on my Youtube channel. What else? I want to combine this page with all this stuff with the cart flows page, and I think I need Elementor pro in order to do that. So that's what I want to do. I also want to import my current affiliate marketing course takers that are over here, at affiliate marketing course members. Right now, I have this member area. This is something I don't like. The link redirects to clickfunnels, so I'm really not amused with clickfunnels. They change links, they do a lot of shady things. As far as I'm concerned, so also like I will make the course within WordPress, and what I want to do now. One important thing, I need to go to ferdykorp.com. Okay, then I go to the menus. I create a custom menu over here, custom, no custom links, and I say https [e-mail] and say courses. Okay. I want it to be totally at the left next to web hosting and over here, I make it capitals. What I can also do go over here to affiliate marketing courses ,copy this link and then say new link, affiliate marketing course, and I say affiliate marketing course. Add to the menu, as a sub item, so now I get a lot of visitors on this website. Some people will go to my courses, so now when they are at my website, I can go to my affiliate marketing course, oh that's not working, and then I can buy it but there's a small problem. If I go to the backend, and I go to my product affiliate marketing course, it's just five dollars. That's not what I want. So, I go to the let me see, products, all products and then affiliate marketing course, and I make this $197. It hurts a little bit because it's really cheap, but I need to start somewhere and build up and make this better. I want to take it serious right now. Last year, I did not take it serious. I made around 18 thousand dollars with it. It's still a lot of money but there's so much more I can make with this course because the content in this course is amazing. What I also will do, I will get rid of those courses because those scores are actually fake. I need to fix them but I'm not sure if I want to sell this course. So maybe I should get rid of that link on my homepage. But I just want to show you what you need to do. So from now on I will create a few more tutorials, you can watch them over here -- ferdykorp.com. I have to yet make them, and tutorials and then LearnDash tutorial and then here below, I will place those tutorials. So I decided to create a separate video for the certificate. It's not an in-depth video. That's like 15 minutes long, but I want to take time for it, and I don't want this tutorial to be too long. But, hey I have the tutorial already on the internet, so you can watch it over here, or you go to the description or go to ferdykorp.com and then to LearnDash and there you'll see it on the list. So I got you covered. And now let's talk about where the money goes that people pay for your course when you use Stripe. Here comes the fun part since I bought something for five dollars, I got four dollars and nine cents or four euros and nine cents, and this will be paid out to me march the 22nd, which is in 10 days. So now everything is automated. People will buy my course, of course, not for five dollars but more for like $197 and after that $297 and $397 and the more people will buy it, the more I'll make and automatically it will be sent to my bank account and there I can pay taxes, and do other a lot of fun stuff with it. So that is how it is done, and as I said before I will do follow-up tutorials and you can find them all at ferdykorp.com, and then tutorials > LearnDash tutorial. So ladies and gentlemen thank you for watching this video. You're at the end of this video, but rest assured we're not there. I think what you have right now when you applied everything I told you, I think that's amazing. That's where I am right now and that's what I will use to sell my course. But there are more things we can do, we can integrate it with Elementor pro which is a premium tool but for what you get it's quite a nice price you already have for fifty dollars per year, and we're going to use cart flows pro. What I want to do now? I want to invest more money to get a better product. I'm not only going to invest money in tools, I will also make tutorials on how to create advertisements and all that stuff, how to use email providers and again, as I said before you can watch it on the list at ferdykorp.com, and then go to tutorials in the right column, and then down at LearnDash. It is really simple, if I become successful with selling this course then you can become also successful because I create tutorials on the whole process, on everything I do in order to make the return on investment better; I mean the conversion ratio. So if I have one 100 visitors, and five people buy it, if I can bring that to one people visit the website and 10 people buy it, I will teach you how I did it. At the end of the day, people need to buy this because they want to buy it and not because they're manipulated by me through a lot of tricks. That's really not who I am. What this Youtube channel does not stand for. I want to be honest transparent and say, "hey, this is a good course. If you want to buy it feel free to do it. This is what you will get." So that's it, thank you for watching it and yeah, have a great day. Feel free to subscribe for more upcoming tutorials. Leave your questions, if you have questions, like this video and have a great day, and good luck with your course business. Bye.
