Hello people, my name is Ferdy and in this
tutorial I will show you step by step how you can create your own course website where you
can sell your course or multiple courses and when people pay for those courses they get access to
the course at once and that money that they pay goes to your bank account 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 to
get your own domain name and web hosting. Then we will install WordPress, the best tool to
make a website and after that we will install the LearnDash plugin to enable us to sell courses
on our website. We will create our first course, add sections also known as chapters or modules
and we will add lessons. We can even go one level deeper by creating topics within the lessons. We
can create lessons using the WordPress editor or make use of videos. You can host your videos on
your website but I will show you how you can use an external tool like Vimeo or YouTube to store
all your course videos and show them within your course. We can create our course outline manually
or save ourselves a lot of time by importing your course directly from Vimeo or YouTube. We will
create a landing page for our course using LearnDash, place a promo video in it and make a
few lessons free so people can see how great the quality of your course is. And of course, we'll
talk about different ways to give people access to the course. You can make the course free,
let people pay once or monthly or yearly or give people seven days access for free or for a small
amount and charge them the rest of the amount after seven days. And when people buy your course,
they get access to the course at once. We'll talk about payment providers like Stripe or PayPal
so people can pay with multiple payment methods and the money goes directly to your account.
We'll style our course archive page, the course pages and we'll make it really easy for people to
navigate through your course. I will show you how you can create quizzes and even decide that people
cannot continue with the course unless they reach a certain score and when people complete your
course they get a certificate that we will make that includes their name, the name of the course,
and the date of completing the course. We will talk about coupons and how you can use coupons to
make a lot of sales in a short amount of time. I will even show you a case study that made me over
$7,000 in sales within 24 hours by promoting a course that I published using LearnDash. And last
but not least, we'll talk about creating a landing page using another page builder and how we can
use split testing to increase our sales. When you follow all the steps in the tutorial, you can
make a lot of money by selling amazing courses and at the same time, you will help a lot of people to
learn something new. So it's a win-win situation. In the description of this video, I have
timestamps. So if you want to go to a certain part in the tutorial, you can click on one of those
timestamps and you go directly to that part of the tutorial. When I go to fast for you, you can go to
the settings here at YouTube, playback speed, slow down the speed of this tutorial. And if you want
to go back a few seconds in the video, just hit the left arrow on your keyboard and you'll go back
five seconds in the video. If you like what you're going to see in this tutorial, then please like
this video and feel free to subscribe for more upcoming WordPress related tutorials where I teach
people how to make websites that can generate them money. Now let's talk about the three steps we'll
take in this tutorial. So first you get your free domain name and we will get web hosting. What is a
domain name? A domain name is the address of your website. Web hosting is a special computer that's
turned on 24-7 that contains all your files, all your emails, all your images, all the content
on your website. So with your free domain name and web hosting you are visible on the internet.
Then we will install WordPress and WordPress is completely free. It's the best tool to create
a website without having to know anything about coding because WordPress is doing all the hard
stuff for you. The third step is creating your course website. And for the website we will make
people can charge thousands of dollars. But I will show you for free how you can do it yourself. If
you already have a domain and web hosting you can do two things. You can migrate your current
website to this amazing web hosting platform. I have a tutorial here that can show you step
by step how you can do it. If you already have installed WordPress, you can skip step two and go
directly to step three. And I will show you right now where you need to go in the tutorial in order
to follow along from that point on. So ladies and gentlemen, let's get started. If you already
have a domain name and web hosting, you can skip this part. If you don't have a domain name
and web hosting, you can go to webhosting44.com, hit enter. Then we click here to go to Hostinger.
Throughout the years, I've been searching for the best web hosting companies that are also
affordable, and then I came across Hostinger. I'm already using it for five years and I love
it. And I'm not the only one. If you take a look at the Google Trends, Hostinger is taking over
the web hosting industry. They're getting more and more popular. Why? Because their web hosting
quality is top-notch and they are affordable. So I can click over here and there are three plans
and let me make it really easy for you to make the right choice. When it comes to site speed,
the premium plan has SSD storage, which is fast, but with the business plan, you have NVMe storage.
That's up to five times as fast as SSD storage. So when you're getting started, I would go with the
business plan. Why not the cloud startup? Because you can always upgrade later. So when you've made
30 websites in your business plan, okay, then it would be a great idea to upgrade to the cloud
startup. If you're getting started, I recommend the business plan. So what does the business plan
have? Over here, you can have up to 100 websites. It's really easy to install WordPress with a few
clicks. You have 200 gigabyte of NVMe storage, so it's fast. And you have enough space to
create a lot of websites. You get a free domain, but other web hosting companies that cost around
$20, here you get it for free. And if you already have web hosting somewhere else, there's a free
automatic migration tool that can migrate your websites from your current web hosting provider
to Hostinger. Of course, you have free email, free SSL, which will make your website secure.
Daily backups, so if you somehow mess up your website, you can restore a backup from the day
before or the day before that. There's free CDN, which makes your website fast in any place in the
world. And with your free domain, you also get free domain privacy. What does it mean? Normally
when you register a domain, all your information that you fill in, your address, your phone number,
will be visible on the internet. And companies can start to send you emails like, hey, I can make
a website for you, I can make a logo for you. And we have domain privacy, that information is
hidden. And with other web hosting companies that cost money, but here at Hostinger, it is free. And
to make it even better, let's scroll up. You get a 30-day money back guarantee. So it's risk-free.
If you somehow don't like the service, you can get your money back, no questions asked. So I will go
with the business plan. So I click on choose plan, then we can decide for how long we want to
go for web hosting and the longer the period, the more discount you get. So if you go for
48 months, you get three months for free, this is four years, and you pay $3.99 per
month. If we scroll down, over here, it says have a coupon code. And if you fill in a name, 30
over here, click on apply, you scroll up again, you get 10% discount extra, and then you'll pay
$3.59 per month. For the next four years, you can also decide to go for 24 months or 12 months. So
if I would say 12 months, you pay $4.49 per month, you get your free domain name for the first year,
and then if we scroll down, the total amount will be $65.21. And if you have a company, you can fill
in your details over here, and then the taxes will be subtracted. You will pay just $53.89 for the
first year of web hosting and a domain name. And then you can create a website that is blazing fast
and have amazing customer support. So if I scroll up, look at this, select payment. There are so
many payment providers based on where we come from. So if you come from a different country,
you can have a local payment methods that are available in that country. So from any place in
the world, you can pay with your local payment method. So what you need to do, if you know for
how many months you want to get web hosting, I go for 12 months, then you scroll down,
and we can create an account with our email address. You need to create a password. Then you
can select your payment method. And you see that all the information over here is optional, so I
will not fill this in right now. I scroll down, I want to pay with credit card. If you want to pay
with something else, you can select it over here. I scroll down. I fill in my details for the credit
card, and then I click on submit secure payment. Now we are redirected to the control panel and
to only take a few seconds. Congratulations with your web hosting plan. Now it's time to get our
free domain. So we're going to configure a few settings and then we're going to install WordPress
on our brand new domain name which we are about to choose. So now we can install WordPress. So it
says hello for who is this website? Well it's for myself or my business. I click on next. Do
you want to create or migrate a website? I want to create a website. If you want to migrate your
website from somewhere else towards Hostinger you can click over here. I click on create, I click on
next, and I don't want to use one of those tools. I want to use WordPress. So I click on skip. What
domain do you want to use for this website? So now we can choose a domain name for our website.
And since you get one for free, you can pick your free domain name right now. So I want to go
with this domain, and then I can see if it's still available. I want to go for the.com version, so
I click over here, and then I click on Next. Do I buy this for personal use or for my company?
For my company, so I click on Next step. Then I will fill in the information over here, and
then I click on Finish registration. So it's registering the domain. And now you need to think
about the people you want to reach. Where are they living? If they live in Europe, you can select
France or the United Kingdom. If they live in the United States, you can select one of those
two. I go for the United States. So I click on next. So what is happening now? The domain,
my case, this one, is being registered in the whole world. So the whole world needs to know this
domain is now registered. That can take a while, it can take a few minutes, it can take longer.
So it says your domain is not connected to Hostinger because of that. It says it can take
up to 24 hours, but in most cases it takes up to five minutes. So if I would click on preview
website, we have a temporary domain at Hostinger. You can work on that and then put it back later. I
prefer to wait until the domain is live. And yeah, it can take five minutes, ten minutes. I will keep
track of this, I will refresh this page all the time and then I will let you know how long it took
for me and I will let you know how long it took for my website to go live. So now five minutes
later I refresh the page and it is live. This is so amazing. How cool is this? We are live.
Congratulations with that. So now let me check a few things. I go to security SSL. Let's see if
that is installed or what that is secure. It is active. Great. Then I go to website WordPress. Now
I can click on install WordPress. So I click over here. I need to give my website a title. I say my
WordPress. My administrative email, I choose this one, my username and integrated password. If you
click on advanced, you can install your website on your domain, forward slash test, but I prefer
to install it on the main domain. I click on next, you can select the language of your site, I prefer
English and then I click on install. Now I will be redirected to this page, make sure that force
HTTPS is turned on, it is, so I click on admin panel and now I will be redirected to my brand new
website. Normally I install WordPress on my main domain, but in case of courses, it can be that you
have a website where you refer to your courses, but your courses are at courses.yourdomain.com
or app.yourdomain or community. So I will show you how we can create a subdomain and if you want
to, you can install WordPress there and decide to make your course website there. So let me show
you how to create a subdomain for your website? Since we're going to create a course website, we
can do that on our main domain name, but what I prefer to do, I like to do it on a subdomain. So
if you want to create a subdomain, it's up to you, you can do it on your main website, I want to
do it on my subdomain. So in order to create it, I go to domains, subdomains, and I can give this
subdomain a name and I give it a name app, or I can say something like courses or community but
I prefer to say app. I click on create, subdomain successfully created and I'm going to install
WordPress on that subdomain so I go to WordPress overview and I select app.ferdytest.com. I use
a different domain name right now just for the sake of the tutorial and then I click on install
WordPress, my WordPress, this is all fine with me, I click on next, install, so still here at the
subdomain I can now go to the admin panel of our website. There we go. I close this, what I want
to do now, let me go to the website. This is what we'll see. When we enter our website and we have
this bar over here because we are logged in. So if I click over here, we go to the back end of our
website. WordPress is installed and now it's time to clean up our WordPress website. It comes with
a few plugins and with a few things. Let's clean it up. So I like to work in a tidy environment.
It's just clean. You should not see this place right now. I'm so hypocritical, I don't know.
But if I clean things up, my mind is relaxed. And when I clean WordPress up, my mind is also
relaxed. So let me show you how to clean up your WordPress website. In order to clean everything
up, I dismiss this message. Then I want to go to a blog post, here, Hello World, it looks like
this. That's exactly what I want. So let me go to the back end. Settings, permalinks, everything's
already set to the right place, so that's good. Then I go to all the plugins. I select them all
by clicking here. Build Actions, deactivate, I want to start from scratch, apply, then I select
everything again, build actions, delete, apply, okay. There they go. And I want to go to the post
and I bring it to the trash by clicking here. I go to the trash, I empty the trash, then I go to
the pages, I click on trash, I go to the trash, and I empty the trash. Now I want to go over
here, edit my profile, give myself a first name, last name, and here I display name publicity as
Ferdy or Ferdy Korpershoek, whatever you prefer, or your first name or your first and last name.
Update profile. Great. Let me see if I go to my dashboard. I want to get rid of all this stuff. I
can collapse it or I can go to the screen options. Turn everything off. So that looks so much better
than this. Now I want to go to the settings, general settings. Make sure your website is
safe. HTTPS, if there's no S, edit over here, edit over here, and you need to save it and log in
again. Then over here, the site language, mine is English. The time zone, if I focus on people from
the Netherlands, I would say Amsterdam. The date format, I like it this way, but you can change it
over here or have a custom one. The time format I like to work with AM and PM but with capitals. I
would start on Monday, I save the changes and then we're going to take a look at the site title.
It is about selling your course. Your website is about your course or maybe you're creating
multiple courses. If you're creating multiple courses you could say ferdy.com and then your site
name, Academy, or if you only have one subject for your course, you could say the Ultimate WordPress
Course. It's important to think about what people search for on the Internet. So when somebody
wants to learn how to work with WordPress, what will you search? And that should be the title
of your website. So I would search for WordPress course. Skip the sponsored stuff. Courses, learn
WordPress, learn WordPress, WordPress full course, WordPress training courses and tutorials, learn
WordPress. So I could say WordPress courses or course. Well I want to have multiple courses so
I would say Ferdy.com Academy and then WordPress e-commerce and affiliate marketing courses
something like that. The tagline I leave it empty. I scroll down and if I save the changes, I
go to the website and this is the title Ferdy.com Academy WordPress eCommerce and Creative Marketing
Courses. Let me go back because right now I see this beautiful WordPress icon and here I see the
one from Google. I want to go to general and I want to add my site icon over here. So I click
on it, select files, then I go to my desktop and there it is the favicon, it's square with a circle
in it or a letter and then this cool play button because it's about videos. Set as a side icon,
I crop the image and now if I save the changes, I see a play button so I can navigate easier
through the tabs because then I see this icon of the Ferdy.com Academy. We're gonna make use
of a free theme in this tutorial. That's the Bloxy theme. And Bloxy is integrated with all the
LearnDash settings. So when you have the Bloxy theme, you can configure a few extra things within
LearnDash and that makes your website so much better. So let me show you how to get the free
Bloxy theme. So if I take a look at my website, it looked like this. I don't like that at all. So
in order to make this look better, I will use a theme. You can find it at ferdy.com forward slash
Bloxy. Hit enter. And there you go, the Bloxy theme. There's a free download. You can download
it over here. And if you take a look here below, a lot of downloads, 3000 per day. It's extremely
popular. It is, in my opinion, the best free theme and it also helps you to create an amazing
course website. You can also go to the back end, to Appearance, Themes, add a new theme and then
search for Blocksy. So also within WordPress, you can install it and activate it. Then we need
to install the Bloxy companion so I click on that and there you go. I go back to appearance,
themes and I will remove all the themes I don't use so I click on theme details, delete, okay,
theme details, delete, okay and theme details, delete, okay I like to keep everything clean
and I don't want to use unnecessary stuff on my website. So I installed the Bloxy theme.
So if I take a look at the website right now, it looks like this. I want to add a logo to
our website. If you don't have a logo, you can outsource it, or you can make one your own. I have
a story about that. Let me show you in a minute, where you can find the tutorial. If you don't have
a logo yet, and you want to create one, you can go to YouTube and then search for logo 30, hit enter,
it says make a logo, you can watch this tutorial, it's free. If you have one already, you can upload
it over here. How can you do that? You go to the customizer, then you hover over here, click on
the three dots, click on select logo, it's an SVG, so the quality remains perfect even if you zoom in
a lot. It's only 3 kilobytes, really light. I open it. I always like to give spaces and then copy the
title, the alt text, and the description. I select it. Then I want to get rid of the site title
below by clicking here. These configurations are possible because of the Bloxy theme. I really like
that theme. What I don't like is that the logo is really big, so I click on the three dots and I
bring this back to, let's say, 20. That's better. Polish. Close it. Okay. It looks better. And now,
ladies and gentlemen, it is time to get LearnDash. LearnDash is the tool we'll use to create our
course website. So let me show you how to get it. Later in the tutorial, we're gonna make this look
better. Right now I want to make use of the plugin called LearnDash in order to create courses on
this website. So in order to get that, let's go to ferdy.com forward slash learn dash, hit enter, and
there you go. Professional tools for freelancers, content creators, and for you. Otherwise, I guess
you're not watching this tutorial. So in order to start working with LearnDash, in order to get
it, we need to go to LearnDash LMS. And there are a few options. If you only have one course
website, then go for one website and it will cost you $199 per year. It is including all the
updates and support. So if you have any question, you can reach out to them and they will help
you. Now I think if you create one course and you sell it for $100 and you sell it twice, you
already made more money than $199. If you want to use it on multiple sites you can go for this
one, unlimited. But in my case I want to have one course website so I go for one site, it will
cost me $199 per year. I click on get learn-lms is added to my cart. Then I need to fill in
my details over here. So info at ferdy.com. My first name, my last name, corpus hook. I
need to create a username. How about ferdy.com? And I create a password. How about I love my wife,
not medium, but really strong. Okay. Continue to address. I'm from the Netherlands. And if you have
a company, you can fill in your details over here and you don't have to pay taxes over the amount.
So that will be subtracted. Like that. I did not buy member dash, so I close this. Like that. And
then the total amount after this, $199. Keep me up to date. No thank you. No order notes. So I
click on continue to payment. I don't want to pay with credit card. I can also pay with PayPal.
I don't need to have updates. I click on purchase. Congratulations with purchasing LearnDash. Now
we're gonna install LearnDash on our WordPress website. Let me show you how we can do that.
Thank you for buying LearnDash. Let's get started. We can automatically install LearnDash
for you. Just enter the details below. Well, I prefer to do it myself. So I click on download.
There it goes. I just downloaded LearnDash. So I go to my website go to the backend to plugins add
new then I click on upload plugin choose a file or I go to my downloads and I drag it over here then
I click on install now there you go I click on activate plugin and ladies and gentlemen you just
installed the learners. Thank you for watching this tutorial like, subscribe, blah blah blah.
Bye bye. Of course this is just the beginning so we can do two things or three we can take a
break, four we can go for a hike but the other two options there are we can set up the wizard or
get started with the wizard or dismiss it. Well let's get started with the wizard. I always wanted
to be a wizard, you know, when I was young. Okay, what I need to do, I need to fill in my email,
the same one I filled in when I bought LearnDash. I need to get a license key. So for access
to your account, click here. And there you go. Hello FerdyKom. I need to go to subscriptions.
And there I find this beautiful code. I select it, I copy it, Command C, then I go to my website, I
paste it, and then I click on validate. Awesome. Your license is valid. Communication preferences.
Would you like to use the email above for older national emails? Of course, notifications.
Yes. And if I would say no, I can fill in another email address. Next, do I want to install a demo
course so I can see how it works or I can adjust it and save some time? Well, I prefer not to.
I will show you how everything works. How many courses are you planning to create? Just one or
multiple? I will say multiple. Also if I just create one, then what types of courses will you
have? Check all that apply. Simple with videos and text, without certificates and quizzes or one
with quizzes and certificates with time so you can say every day a new video will be online from
the moment that people bought a course or group courses. A course led by group leaders perfect for
cohorts cooperating training in classrooms. Well, I want to but I'm okay. So I only check this one.
Next, do you want to charge for your courses? No, of course not. Now my tutorials are free but my
courses do cost money so I say yes and I want to use Stripe for that. I don't want to connect
it right now. I will talk about that later. I do want to use a a currency that's called the United
States of America dollar. I click on next. Sorry, next. So there's a summary over here. I will not
use WooCommerce over here. I will keep it as it is and click on save and complete. And if you
want to, we can always add that later. This is just to get us started. Okay. I want to skip this
because I don't want to take a look at everything we are doing. I click on skip, dismiss. So we
have learned this and we have set it up. If I go to the website, what I will see is a menu
over here with courses, profile, registration, registration success and reset password. Those
are pages created by LearnDash. So if I would go to courses, I see no courses because we have not
created a course yet and that is just what we're about to do. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to
create our first course. There are two ways. The first way is you can upload a lot of videos to
YouTube or to Vimeo and then import that as a playlist so that the list with videos is already
created in LearnDash by that and it includes all the videos at the right place. Well, I will show
you both ways. I prefer to do it manually and I will show you how and after that I will show you
how you can do it on autopilot. In order to add your first course we go to the back end of your
website to LearnNashLMS courses. We can create one from a video playlist, for instance, YouTube
or Vimeo. We'll talk about it later. Right now, I want to show you how to create a course
manually. And in order to do that, I click on add your first course or new and then course. We're
going to use the block editor from WordPress and I want to add a course title which will be Affiliate
Marketing Course. That is the title of my course. And over here, there can be course categories. We
can create one, especially when you're having a lot of courses, people can search on your website
through categories. So I'll give this a category, Passive Income. I add a new one that is affiliate
marketing and the third one is making or make money online. The same can be done with tags.
So again I say passive income, the second one is make money online, the third one is affiliate
marketing. Then I can have a featured image. If you want to learn how to create one, go to YouTube
and search for featured image 30 and I have a tutorial for you, create featured images. So I go
to upload files, select files and on my computer I have this one. And you can learn how to create
something like that using this tutorial. I set my featured image. First I will copy the title,
paste in the alt text and in the description. Okay. Post attributes, that's all fine. I click
on publish, publish. Now, if I would go to the website by clicking here, I go to courses, I see
this course over here. If I click on it, you see not that much, but over here we have our first
course. So I can click on it and then edit course, and then we can continue. Because right now we
have the course page step, we have the dashboard with our statistics, but I also have the builder
and if I want to create the course, the outline, the chapters, the videos or the content, we go to
the builder and we can work with three areas. We can have headings. In those headings, we can have
lessons and in those lessons, we can have topics. Headings and lessons. So let me show you
how I would set up my course. I have a lot of videos here at courses, affiliate marketing.
So what I prefer to do, change it to list view, bring this to the right, take this to
And I call this one course introduction. It's like a module and in that module I can have
lessons. So I can have a new lesson, what I like to do, copy and over here paste. If you want
to you can have numbers. So let me do that for now. I can change it later. So that's the course
introduction with my introduction. I want to add a video over here. You can also have text or a PDF.
So that's my first heading with one video in it. Now I want to create a second heading, and that
is the affiliate marketing introduction. This introduction to the course, this to affiliate
marketing. So I go to the first lesson of chapter two, what is affiliate marketing? Copy that,
paste it here. Why choose affiliate marketing, new lesson, paste it. It takes some time, but
that's how you build the course outline and you have to do it only once. Later I will show
you how you can do this automatically. Copy. So, I will fast forward and then I will be back
with you. So, I click on update. Now when I click over here, I can see the course content,
affiliate marketing course, course content and then I see the introduction, affiliate marketing
introduction, niche research, all those videos. I even have this over here. I want to get rid of
that. I don't want that. I'll show you later how you can get rid of that. So everything will be
shown at once. And if I would click on something, we go to the page of that lesson. There's nothing
there yet because we need to create that content yet or place a video over there. So now again
courses, click on the course and you see an overview. Besides section headings and lessons,
we can have also another layer and that is topics. Let me show you what you can do with topics within
LearnDash. So this is a heading and this is a lesson. There's another level and that's a topic.
Let me talk about that. I go back to the Builder over here at the Affiliate Marketing course.
What I can do, I can open this with the arrow down over here. I can drop a topic or a new quiz.
We're gonna talk about quizzes and certificates later. Right now I want to create a topic. So the
first one is, I'm talking about introduction. So let's say I have three parts in my course. The
first one is research. And a topic is exactly the same thing as a lesson, only level deeper. So the
second topic will be written content. The third one will be videos. So I add the topic in my first
lesson, introduction. Now if I refresh the page, look at this. It says three topics so I can expand
it like that. And I see the three lessons. If I click on the introduction, I can have my video
over here or my content and then below you see the lessons. So instead of going to the next lesson, I
go to the next topic. So if I click on next topic, I go to research, then next topic, I go to
written content and then the third one, videos, and then after that it says next lesson, and
then I go to lesson 2.1. So that's how you can work with topics. And now if I go to courses,
it looks like this. So there was a small glitch, I think, a few minutes ago. This is how I prefer
to display this. We're gonna make it look better, but that's better than the big image I just saw.
What you also can do, you can make free lessons. So when people don't buy the course, they can
watch a few sample lessons that are for free. So they can see how the quality of the course is.
Well, I recorded this part later. So you'll see a few things that are looking different than
what you see right now, but then, you know, that's what we're going to learn later on in
the tutorial. So it's a sneak peek. So let me show you how you can make a few lessons free. So
people can see the quality and they think, Hey, I want to buy this course because the sample videos
are so amazing. Let me show you how. You can also have free sample lessons. So right now it says
you don't currently have access to this content because I did not buy the course. But if you
go to the builder of your course, for instance, video 2.1, you click on edit, leave. Now I can go
to the settings of this particular lesson settings here this step. Here we have the video that's been
displayed and what I can do now over here I can make this a sample lesson update. So if you want
to convince people that this is the right course for them you can create a free sample lesson. So
if I refresh the page right now I have no access if I refresh the page now it says it's a sample
lesson. So if I click on it, I'm not logged in, but I can watch the video. If you see this, sorry,
I record this part later. This is what we're going to create. It's one of the options of the display
of our course. So you've got a glimpse. Now let's go back to the other parts of the tutorial. We can
set up the landing page. We can configure it, make it look better. And I'll show you how you can do
that. And that's all done within LearnDash. But it is great, it looks great, but it's also a little
bit limited. So later on in this tutorial, I will also show you how you can create a landing page
using a page builder. But right now I will show you how you can spice up your landing page within
LearnDash. I go to courses, click on the course, there's an overview and this is the landing page.
So this is where I can convince people to buy my course. So what I also can do, I can go back to
the course page and I can add any content over here. So I click on the plus, I prefer to click
on browse all. So I can have a video over here. I can upload it. I prefer to use external resources
like YouTube or Vimeo, but for now I can click on upload. Let me see, I have a video over here, it's
55 megabyte. Let me open it. I could say autoplay and no playback controls. So now when I go
to the landing page of this course, I refresh the page. This video should start automatically.
Somehow it's not the case. Let me turn this off, playback controls, refresh. I can play it. So
I don't like the layout like this. We're gonna adjust it. But for now, we know that this is the
landing page. Here we can show an overview of our course. We can also decide not to show it. We can
talk about pricing and all that stuff. We can get rid of this, make it look different. We're going
to make it look great. And now you know how you can work with the builder with headings, lessons,
and topics. There are multiple ways on how you can host the videos on your course. You can upload
them to your website. I recommend that you do not do that because that can slow down your website
when you have a lot of space filled with videos. So what I prefer is to outsource the videos,
host them somewhere else. You can do that on YouTube and then unlist them and then link them
to your course. But I think that looks a little bit less professional. So what you can also do is
use Vimeo. I prefer Vimeo, so let me show you how you can use Vimeo to upload the videos that you
can host in your course. In order to create a video course, we need to use a platform that can
host our videos. So in order to make use of one of those platforms we go to ferdy.com forward
slash Vimeo. Hit enter. We'll start with the free version and you can join by clicking here. I
will sign up with an email address. Continue with email. I need to create a password Join Vimeo. I
will start with Enterprise, the free version. I don't want to use a paid plan right now. I just
want to get started with uploading a few videos. So what I want to do, I want to create a showcase.
So I click on the plus. Now call it one affiliate marketing course. Click on save. Now I want to
click on new upload. Now I want to upload all the videos from my course. If you want to learn
how to create videos, go to YouTube and search for affiliate marketing course 30. Let me see.
Yeah, over here I show you step by step how you can create videos, how you can record using the
right equipment. So you can learn how to create your own course using this video. And now I want
to, let me see, choose files or I can drag files over here. So I go for the introduction. Let's go
for the first two chapters. Drag them over here. And one by one, they will be uploaded to Vimeo.
There is a limit of one gigabyte when you use the free version so let's see how far we'll come. I
think we can make that 65 megabytes. That's 1 15th of the whole storage. So let's see. The upload
is going great, first two chapters, awesome. So now let me go to the library, there are all the
videos, they are transcoding so it can take a while before they are really active and when they
are active then it will be shown how much memory is already taken. I've been making websites since
1999 and through the years I found a few ways for myself that will help me to speed up my workflow.
It looks a bit weird but let me show you a few of those tricks that I use to to work a bit faster
and I hope I do not overwhelm you with that so let me show you how we can speed up things within
Vimeo and within WordPress. But we don't Still, I prefer to have a list view. What I can do now,
here's the introduction. I can go, let me see, I can click on copy link, copy video link, then I
go to the course. Instead of here at the builder, I go back to courses. And then over here I
see lessons. Click over here on the title, so I see the first one. I hold commands, and
then I click on the introduction on the PC's control. So control click, so it goes to a new
tab. Then at introduction there's a lesson page, but I want to go to the settings and then the
second tab or the second option video progression, I turn that on. Before completed sub steps and I
paste URL and I get rid of the share copy and I click on update. And that's what I can do with all
videos. So let me get rid of this. I drag Vimeo to the left. What I want to do now, in order to
work a bit more efficient, I go to the lessons. I have the title selected in alphabetical order,
also numerical order. So what I will do now, I will hold command or control and I click on all
of them. The first two chapters, click, click, click, click, click, click. Then I go to Vimeo.
I go over here, this video 2.1. So I want to go to the second chapter, copy link, copy video link,
and I go to video 2.1. What I will do now, okay, look at this. I click on settings, then I do
control tab, settings, control tab. So with control tab, I go to the next step, settings,
control tab, settings, control tab, settings, control tab, settings, control tab. Then I go
to video 2.1 again. Now I click, I turn this on and then control tab. And that way I can work
more efficient. I know it's a little bit weird, like what are you doing? But when you get a
hold on this or you understand how it works, it can save you a lot of time. So now everything
is opened. So I go to Vimeo, I copy the video link for 2.1 and I paste it. Then I go to the
next one, 2.2, and I paste it. So in that way, I save myself a lot of time. And later on, I will
show you how to do this automatically. But for me, this is the fastest way to do this. 2.4, 2.4,
paste. Copy, 2.5, paste. 2.6, copy the link, paste. Now, I get rid of this, control tab. When
I've done that everywhere, I click on update, control tab, update, control tab, update,
update, update, and update. to go to the website, to courses over here. I go to the introduction,
there is a video over here. I can play it. Hello and welcome in this course. So, I can go to those
lessons, but I have no content over here. So, I go to the next lesson and there you see it again,
another video. So that's one way to do this. As I said before, we're going to also import a course
using Vimeo or YouTube. So let me show you how you can do that. Save yourself a lot of time if you
prefer to use this method. I want to show you both methods and then you can choose which one you want
to use. So I go back. I have a course with all the information here at the course page or the
builder, set it up manually. How can I do this automatically? Let me show you. I go back to Vimeo
to Showcases and there's the affiliate marketing course. If I click on it, I need to add a few
videos. So I click on Add Video. Really important to select the first one first, so it will be
in alphabetical or numerical order. First one, then like that. Edit what you'll see. This is the
first one. So that's what I want. I go back to Showcases. It will be saved automatically so if I
click over here, there they're in the right order. Now, I can go to edit course, go back to courses,
and now it says, create from video playlist. So I click over here, and I need to enter the playlist
URL. So I go to Vimeo, I want to share this, share, copy the link, and then here I want
to paste the link, get rid of the share copy, and then load the data from Vimeo. This is
the fast track. This will be so much easier because immediately all the videos will have
the right titles and the video included in it, so I don't have to do it manually like I just did.
I allow LearnAsh to get access to my videos. The course of Hidden Marketing course will be created
with eight lessons. So now they're already over there. So that's the fast way, the better way.
How users will gain access to the course. Well, I leave this for now, I'll talk about it later.
I click on create the course. So it's the same title, but this one is automatic because I don't
see the course categories and stuff. So if I click over here, we go to the builder, look at this.
This is all created, the only thing is it's not in the right order. How can we fix that? It's
exactly the other way around. So that's one thing I don't like. I can drag it over here. So what
I can do, I can say Command or Control minus. So I see everything at once. So this is what I
don't like. I'll send them an email, learn to see if they can fix that. And I go for 1.1, 1.2, then
2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5. Okay. And then I need to add the heading. First one is the introduction.
I can drag it to the top. And then the second heading is affiliate marketing introduction.
I want to drag it on top of chapter two. Update. So now if I check this and I click on
video 2, the content is there already. This is what we have created for free. So that's
really cool. The only thing what I don't like is all this information. That's probably
because we use the free version of Vimeo, so let me see if I go to the home area, to my
library, I go, okay, let's go to video one. So I go to the affiliate marketing course, the
introduction. Can I get rid of this? Because this doesn't look really professional. What I can do,
I can go to the player. There's a preview of your customizations to save them, upgrade your account.
So yes, I can get rid of a lot of stuff like this. Progress bar, I want to show the progress bar.
Site speed and quality, no Chromecast, no Airplay, picture in picture, full screen, no Vimeo logo.
So I can display it like this. I can even hide the title. I don't know where it is right now.
The title, the byline, profile picture. So that looks much better, but I need to upgrade in
order to make use of this function. So if I click on upgrade, you should go for the standard
plan. You can also start a free trial. Leave your details over here. Right now it's $0 and after,
let me see, after 7 days you will be charged. You can pay with credit card or with PayPal and
then you can have all the freedom. You can have higher quality videos. You can upload more than
1 gigabyte because right now we're already at 750 megabytes. So what I will do, I will fill in
my details over here. I'm from the Netherlands. I have my VAT ID. Then I click on start free
trial. So now I have more freedom. I can hide everything. This is from my tool so this is
outside of Vimeo. And here I can even change the colors. So look at that. If I start playing
I would see purple instead of blue. I can even save this as a preset so I can create a preset.
I can call this one affiliate marketing course, create a preset and now I can go
to library. So let me take a look at the website right now. So now it's all gone. If
I go to the next lesson and it's back. So what I need to do, I need to go to all my videos. So the
second one for instance, I click on it, then I go to the player, and I can use the preset, affiliate
marketing course, save it, and again I have to do this once for all of them. So again, let me show
you how I would do that. Come on, click, click, click, click, click. I've done this so many times,
so for me this is saving a lot of time. It's maybe a little bit unorthodox, but it's working.
Player, player, player, player, player. That's how they called me. I was really shy. I think you're
so happy with that personal information that I just shared with you. So and now what I also saw,
I have so much more gigabyte storage right now, so I can upload the whole course at once. So now
for all the videos, if I take a look at this one, I only see this and that's exactly what I want.
I think I closed my website, so let me go back to app.ferdy. So now you know how you can create
courses manually like this or import them through Vimeo and the second one is of course my favorite
way of doing this. The only thing I need to do, I need to go to the course page, make use
of the same categories, of the same text, and the same featured image, update. So this way
will help you to create your course a lot faster. If I go over here and I go to video 4, there's
nothing. I still have to do it manually and you've seen how much time it costs. So I'm happy
with the second way. So I suggest you do the same thing. So I have Vimeo Pro now. So this is how I
would upload a course to Vimeo and place it in my WordPress website. So now I go to Vimeo, choose
a file and go for chapter 3 until the latest one, hold shift, open them and now those will be added
and then I can place them in the course. So or I decide to import it again, so I place all those
videos in the showcase and then I import it and I create the headings or I copy the links manually
and go to my first course and then import the link manually. Either way, I will be back with you with
a complete course with chapters, lessons and all the videos at the right place. So I uploaded all
the videos for the course on Vimeo. I put them in the showcase and now I click on create from
video playlist, one more time, paste it, get rid of this, load data from Vimeo, allow them, create
the course, now I go to the affiliate marketing course, builder And it's exactly the opposite
way. So also this will take some time. In order to set our videos on private so nobody can see it,
I go to library. Right now it is set to anyone, so anyone can see this. So, you can select everything
over here or select the first one, go to the first video of the course, so in my case 1.1, hold shift
and click here, then privacy, I click over here and I set it to hide from Vimeo and can people
download these videos? I prefer to say no. Save it. So now if I go to courses and I go to this
video for instance, I can still see it but it's not visible on my Vimeo account. Really important.
It is time to talk about something interesting. In my opinion, it's interesting. The pricing. What
are you going to let people pay for your course? There are multiple things. You can have a free
course that's open to anyone. You can have a free course that people need to register in order to
get access to it. Then you can send them emails, maybe link them to your email list. Then there's
the paid one. People pay a one-time fee and then they get access. People can pay recurring, so
they pay every month and you can give people a seven day trial for $1 and after that charge them
the full amount or charge them per month. You can also use an external tool to do the landing page
and the payment method. So let's talk about those things right now. Right now, if I go to my course,
it is available for anyone. Everybody can access this. So if I would open this, right mouse click
in an incognito window, I click on the course, it is free. I do however have to log in to enroll.
So I click over here and then I have to log in. So I need to create an account. There's another area
in my website that could make that possible. Right now it is free, but I need to enroll. In order
to adjust those settings, I click on edit course, and then I go to the settings, and right now it
says it is free. So the course is free, but it is protected. You need to be registered and enroll to
have access to the content. If I set it to open, update, now there's not even an area where you
can log in. Everybody has access and can go to any video they wish. So with Open the course is not
protected and everybody can access it with free. It is free but you need to log in or register in
order to get access to the course. Then there's the third option, Buy Now. You pay once, let's say
$297 and when people access your course, let's say first video introduction. Grab that link. I
want people to arrive there just after they purchased. So people pay, and when they pay,
they automatically go to the first video where I welcome them, and then they can continue from
there. So how does it look? Right mouse click, incognito window. Now you see the price, I'm
not enrolled. Get started, I need to log in. Of course, I need to have a pay button over here, but
we need to connect it with Stripe in order to get the pay button, so we'll do that later. When you
would have login details, then you could log in, get access to the course. I'll show you later
how we can get a Buy Now button over here. Then there's a recurring, also really interesting. The
course price, so you can say, at once, there's a one-time fee of $297 but after that every year,
course price, billing cycle every year and the recurring times I can say for three years. I can
also say nothing so every year people pay $297 as long as they are a member. $7, you get seven
days of access to the whole course. If people pay with credit card, they get charged $7 when they
enroll and then automatically after seven days, they get charged $297. And the next year also,
until the point they cancel their subscription. And when they enroll, when they pay, they will be
sent to the first video update. Right mouse click, incognito. So it says the price is $7 for the
first seven days. After that $297 every year for 97 years. That's not right. If I would say
100 refresh for the next 100 years, it should be the case that when I leave this empty, update,
refresh, full price every one year afterward. Okay, so that's better. And of course, we want to
have the buy button. The latest option is using an external tool, for instance, CardFlows
for the landing page. And if you want that, then you can choose this option. Let me show you
how it works. After that, I will also talk about more configuration settings for our course. So
buckle up, get some popcorn, watch Lord of the Rings, and then come back, and then let's get
started with this part of the tutorial. And if you like this, please like the video. That will
help me out a lot. You're already watching it, so that's a good thing for the length of people
who watch my tutorial. It's not interesting what I'm saying right now, but thank you for watching.
Thank you for liking this video. And if you want to learn more about making websites that can
generate you money, then feel free to subscribe. Hello? How do I speak? Yes, it's good. Okay. I've
never done that before. It came to me and I went with it. So, hey, what were we doing? Yes, let's
talk about what we're going to talk about. Later I will show you how you can use Elementor to create
a landing page, which is in my opinion way better because then you have more freedom to do whatever
you want. But this is building with LearnDash, also nice, but I will show you how to make it look
even better. And also collect email addresses. Yeah, it's gonna be better and better. So what
I can do, I just talked about it, I can also say close. So I don't use anything from LearnDash, but
I use another tool, for instance, CardFlows. So I can say the price is $297 and the button URL, so
when people click on that, then they go to this page, but I want to refer this page to the landing
page that we will make with Elementor. There I can show the price, all the information, show the
video, and I can let even people fill in their email address in order to see the introduction
video. So then I can send them automated emails, which can increase my conversion rate like
crazy. So more people buy the course because you have their email address and you can send them
more emails with more valuable information about the course. So that's something for later in the
tutorial. I will close this and this. And for now, I want to use the buy now option. Update. So
when people go to this page, they see this is the price. That's it about pricing. We scroll
down. Course prerequisites, if I turn it on, I can say that people should have completed a
certain course before they can follow this course. So I can have five course over here and then I
can follow this course if they've completed one of those courses or I can say they should complete
all the courses before they can follow this one. Well, I only have one course yet, so I cannot do
this right now. That's how it works. There are course points. How many points should members have
when they can get access to this course? I could say 50, and then I can create another course,
like a light course about affiliate marketing, and when they completed it, then they get 50
points. So that's the other thing, awarded on completion. I can say when people complete this
course you get 100 points and then I can create a next level course and people need to have 100
points in order to access that course. So if I have a small course about affiliate marketing they
get 50 points in rewards and then they can buy this course. I can also say it's interesting that
people buy only once for $290 but they get access for 365 days. After that, they need to renew it.
And there's also data deletion. So after 365 days, all the data, login details, what they've done in
the course will be removed. All the quizzes. I can also say the course is available from a certain
day until a certain end date. So I can have a special deal and say, hey, only for the next seven
days you have access. Then I can fill in the start date and the end date. And I can also say only 100
people have access to this course because I want to give everybody one-on-one help, or let's say
30. And when you use those in your emails, like, hey, next week, the 1st of June, my course goes
live for the first seven days you have access, but only 30 people have access because I want to
help them one-on-one on how to become successful with this. So only the first 30 people from the
first of June on have access, so make sure you're one of those people and in that way you can sell
30 courses for let's say $997 and make a little bit less than $30,000 in one week, but then of
course you need to help those people for 365 days. So with all this data, there are a lot of options
on how you can position yourself when it comes to pricing. There are even more settings, so let's
explore those right now. If I take a look over here, this is how it looks right now. We can also
talk about course materials. I'm going to follow this course. What do they need? Need to have a
computer. You need to have a working internet connection. You need to have a phone with camera.
Update. So you see the course. There's all this information and then materials, new tab, you need
to have a computer. It says materials but you can also change that to what you need. So if it's
materials, I could say the ideal course follow PDF. I think that's really bad English. I can
click on add media, I can upload a PDF, so let's say people can get this. I grab the link of the
video, it can also be PDF, when you click on it, you see the video. So that's what you can place
over here. When people finish the course, which certificate should be used? We're going to create
a certificate. We can have a challenge exam show, so people need to fill in one big exam before they
finish the course. The course content. Right now it's visible. Maybe you're like, hey, I want to
not to make it visible because then people think, okay, I know all about that. So I can also say
only visible to enrollees. Well I'm logged in. So if I would open this in a incognito window, I
don't see that overview anymore. I am okay with showing it and right now there's packing nation so
there are three pages. I want to show 99 lessons, topics per page, what do I mean by that? I
want to show everything on one page like, hey, thank you for watching this course,
leave a review, become an affiliate of it, something like that. So I can create a page,
really simple, create a page, affiliate marketing, thank you page. I can add the video I already have
this one even though it's a promo, I just want to show you how that works. Publish. I go back to
the course, Affiliate Marketing Course, Settings, I scroll down and I can select the Affiliate
Marketing Thank You page. So when people finish the course, they finish the last video, then they
will be redirected to this thank you page. I can have a video saying thank you, et cetera.
So one other thing, the course progression, it can be linear. That means that people need to
watch video one before they can watch video two. If you say free form, they can go from video
one to video 60 to 43 to 42 to 25, 16, 26, 43. That would be a really great order, but
it's up to you, up to the visitors, for the people that bought the course. So I prefer free
form because then people can also go to any video and they don't have to stick with the linear. Okay
over here, I can add people manually. So if people register for another course, I see them over
here and I can drag them over here and then I get access to this course. And then there's the course
grid settings. So if I go back to the courses, I see this over here, I can add more information.
So I will write a text about the course. So I have a text update. If I refresh this, nothing
happens. Why? Because this automatically created using the Bloxy theme. So what I can do,
I can create a new page, all courses, publish, then I can click on the plus, browse all, and
search for LearnDash. Now it says LearnDash course grid update. So let's take a look over here.
Well, we're getting there, but this looks so much better than the default one, so this one. So
from now on we're going to use this one, Affiliate Marketing Course by Freddy Korpshoek students.
So let's take a look at the other information, the duration, total duration is 12 hours 53
minutes. I can enable a video preview and I can use a video over here. Right now it says
enrolled. If I open this in incognito window, it says what the price is. So I can also have
a custom text like buy now or a ribbon text, best course or something so let's say something
by now and best deal. Update, refresh, best deal, now there's a video so I can have a video from
YouTube that displays a nice overview of what we will talk about in this course. The only
thing is I don't see the short description. I'll get rid of this and this, and of the video
update, refresh. It then looks like that. And then we'll later take a look at all the other
information. So that's it for the settings. So, click over here, then I go to the single page.
And what I want to do now, I want to make sure that people can buy this course. That's what I
want. So, I click on the course. Instead of login, I want to have a buy now button. Let me show you
how we can create that. Now we're gonna talk about something interesting, in my opinion. We're gonna
talk about how people can pay. I prefer Stripe. Stripe is a great payment gateway that let people
pay with a credit card or another payment method. And when they pay, that money goes to your bank
account and they get access to the course all on autopilot. So let me show you how to set up
Stripe. And after that, I will show you how to set up PayPal in order to receive payments and
give people access to the course on autopilot. I want to name my son Autopilot because I really
like Autopilot but it was not good enough. It was not allowed by the government so I called
him Noah. Also a beautiful name. Hey let's talk about Stripe. First I want to change the price so
I go to the course editing page settings and I go for buy now for $197. So if I would open this
incognito window, it is this price and only 30 people still have access. So how to get the buy
now button over here or get the course? Well I go to the back end of the website, then I go to
LearnDash, settings and then Right now nothing is selected. The currency is dollars. I want to add
Stripe. If you want to learn how to get a Stripe account, go to YouTube, search for Stripe 30.
I've got a Stripe account, four years old, still relevant, I checked it. And there I can also see
if Stripe is available in your country. When you have a Stripe account, you can receive payments
from all over the world, but not from every place in the world you can get a Stripe account. So I
hope yours is included. Otherwise, there are other ways, Razorpay and PayPal. So I turned on Stripe.
Let's connect to Stripe. So maybe if I click on Stripe, I go to a special Stripe page. Yeah, click
on this one or this one, doesn't matter which one. I already have Stripe account, so I will log in.
Okay, please configure Stripe webhook to finalize the setup. What I need to do, I need to copy this
link, click over here, I go to Stripe webhooks. By the way, really important, let's use test
mode first, save it. So also here at Webhooks, I go to the test mode. I want to add a new
endpoint. I paste the endpoint. I want to use the most recent version. This is important.
So let me show you what I will do. I will search for stripe connect. First one then command F
or control F on a PC I search for web hook URL and then over here it says which events we should
use. So I copy this one, select events, I search, there you go, that is one, copy, that is
two, copy, that is three. Do I understand exactly what this all means? Yes of course.
Of course. You should not even think things like that. Of course I understand exactly
what coupon.deleted. Now I may have an idea but I'm not exactly sure. five events from the
support and then I click on add endpoint. Okay, now I can go back to payments and the return URL,
where should people go after they have paid? Well, I have an idea about that. How about the profile
page? Because at the profile page, they see which courses they have. So right mouse click over here,
copy the URL and then here at return URL, turn it on, save it. The same I want to do with my course,
so I go to courses, affiliate marketing course, settings and let's put this to 197 and the course
enrollment URL, so where should people go after they bought the course? Also that URL. Okay. Then
over here, update, right mouse click, open in an incognito window. Now it says, take this course.
I'm not logged in. I see the introduction video. If I click on play, I see the course content. I
see everything because that's how we configured it. And now it's a test account. So I click on
take this course. Then they go to this page, but this is not what I want. So I close this, Command
W or Control W. Then I need to go to the settings of LearnDash, scroll down, settings. Actually,
you don't have to scroll here. Just go with your mouse to settings, unless you have a really
small screen. Then you have to scroll down to go to settings. But since we're here at settings, I
scroll down here at general, and then I see login and registration, and I need to turn that on. And
I need to save it. And now when I go to courses, if it is marketing course, open it in an incognito
window. Now instead of going to the Stripe page, I click here and I see this, I
register. So together with this course, so I'm buying this course but I'm here
at the registration page with ID 20, totally unnecessary to mention this but I saw
it and I was like, hey, why not mention that? So if you're like something like this, then
you know it's a popular website probably with a lot of people that already registered.
There is my son. Hey Noah. Hey papa. Are you okay? Yes, I need to fill in a username.
How about Josh? His email is ferdykorpershoek at gmail.com. His first name is Josh, his last
name is Tohamel and his password is this one. I click on register. Okay I'm registered now
and now I need to pay. So I click over here and since there are no other options, only
Stripe, I click on take this course. Now I go to the checkout. And since we're in test mode,
the credit card information is 42424242 and that should also work for you. My email address
is already filled in because of the form. And I click on pay. So first I got registered,
then I paid and now I'm redirected to the profile page which I said that should happen when people
buy my course. And look at this, the affiliate marketing course. Now Josh Duhamel, which looks a
little bit different over here, has this course. So everything works on autopilot using Stripe. How
cool is that? Now, I can go anywhere in the course and follow that. It doesn't look really great
yet. We're going to take a look at that later, but it's working. I'm really happy. People can
sign up, pay, and get access to the course. Well, there's something important that should happen
now because we're still in developers mode, in the test mode. So I need to go back to
LearnDash, settings, payments, stripe, connect, get rid of the test mode, save it, let's see what
happens. Now I should go, grab this webhook URL, go to the live mode and now I need to add the
same endpoint over here with the most recent version and select the same events. So again I
need to go to learn-.com forward slash support, stripe connect, stripe connect, Webhook URL
and again use those and since it's working on the test server or the test account it's also
working now on the live event. The only thing that changes is that it's now with real money
but we tested everything. The connections are working otherwise Stripe would accept that it's
not working. So when we use the same options or the same events that we just used in the test
account and this will also work at the events, at the endpoint and now ladies and gentlemen we
can receive real payments. You can also add ideal. That's something used a lot in the Netherlands.
So far so good. What is next? Now let's talk about PayPal. How to set up PayPal is really easy. So
let me show you how you can do that. How about adding more payment methods? Good idea Ferdy.
Thank you. Let's go to the back end to learn dash settings and we go to payments and I turn on
PayPal. Let's save it. Then I click on PayPal so I can manage it. PayPal email, the email I use
on my PayPal account. Return URL again, HTTPS app.ferdy.com forward slash profile. Cancel URL
when it does not work. I can create a page, cancel and then I can make a video like, hey, sorry,
your ping did not succeed. Try something else. Save it. Go to all courses, take this
course. Okay, I first need to register then I can see how it looks. Okay. James,
James, no, FerdyKorp at gmail.com. James, William, Bond, password, register and now if
I click over here I can pay with PayPal. When people want to buy a course they need to register
and then they can pay. Let me show you how we can adjust the registration page a bit so it looks
a little bit better because right now I don't like how it looks. So since that is working, I
want to take a look at the pages on a specific page called the registration page. Why it's
quite wide and I want that. So what I can do, I can click over here and I can say the form width
should be 600 pixels and it will make it smaller. I think that looks way better. We are making use
of the best free theme of WordPress and that is the Bloxy theme. And with the Bloxy theme, you
have a few settings that are attached or linked with LearnDash. So let's configure this and let's
make it look a little bit better using the Bloxy theme. I think it's time to spice and everything
up a little bit. If I go to all courses, it looks a bit weird. This looks weird. And
I go to a video. It looks, it looks, I don't like it. So how can I make it look better? Well,
let me show you. First I go to the customizer. Then I click on the main row. I think it's
really high. So I want to decrease the height. Like that. Then I go back. I go back. I want
to go to the menu here below menus. I create a new one. I call this one the main menu. I
want to place it in the header menu area one, which is this area. Next, now I can add all the
courses for instance and then my profile page, something like that and I can also publish this
and go back and back, scroll down to home page Which is all courses. Yes. Then I want to go back.
I want to show the courses, but I already have a page called courses, so I'll go to the menu. Main
menu. All courses. Now change the navigation label to courses. Awesome. Then. I take a look at this
color. I use a tool called Color Pick Eyedropper from Google Chrome. Now if I go to colors, I can
change this color to a darker one and the second one I want it to be the orange one. Copy. Paste
it. Awesome. Now I go to the three dots of the menu over here. Design, the font color should be
the first one and when I hover over it, it should be the second one and when it's active it should
also be the second one. And over here I want to use Nunito Sans. And maybe make it a bit bigger.
Not that bold. Let's say medium and a bit smaller. 15. Okay. Publish. Then I go to the home page by
clicking here and I see all courses. Let's see. I click on the customizer. This is something
that should be changed from within LearnDash, but if I go to the course itself, this is
something I can fix. I definitely want to do that. So I click on edit, and I go to the
course title. So if I go back and back and back, I see since we installed LearnDash, Blux has
some LearnDash settings. So I go to the course, single course, and I can adjust this so I
can say make it narrow that's something I definitely want to do because the video is so
big then I want to make it boxed which creates a nice area like that let me scroll down here
I can decide what I do want to show I prefer to show the video over here but if I click here, I
don't want to show the date and stuff. So I can get rid of that. The title I do want to show,
excerpts, no thank you, post meta, no author, no publish date. It's okay to show this. The
style, a like button, okay and no comments about the course. You can also add labels
if I want to but I'm okay with that. Okay. I want to have a certain spacing in between
like that, 30. So that looks better. Then I go to a single video introduction. This is also
really wide. So if I click on edit over here, I can also make it narrow and boxed. I can also
do that by the way at general layout, not here but I can adjust the site width and I say 1120 so
the website becomes a bit smaller but this looks so much better in my opinion. Publish and then I
click over here again. It's a matter of clicking. I like that and then I can make it a bit more
bold. 1, 2, or 4. Publish, close. So now if people go to my homepage, they see this. I can filter it
if I have multiple courses. I click on the course, now it's a bit smaller, which is something I
like. I go to the video, it's smaller and also here I don't want that. So now I'm here at the
single page and maybe I don't even need the title. Each one, but no excerpt. Publish, close it. Okay,
let me see if I can decrease the space in between, edit. Yes. How about 10? I love it, I love
this theme. It's, man, it makes things easier. And in order to stay in the style of my website,
I prefer to have the title a bit smaller. So the title H1 is okay but a design font color this
and it can be a bit smaller. I like to use Nonito Sans. And this is all stuff from LearnDash itself.
We'll take a look at that later. How about a bit smaller but a bit bolder. Okay. Close it. Okay,
close it so that looks better than what we had before. Don't you think so? I think so. If you're
logged in, you can have a profile and there I can see which courses you have and go directly to
that course, keep track of how many percentage you have. So if I would click over here and
I go to the next topic, next one, next one, next one and the next one or I mark this complete,
next one, mark this complete and I go to courses, my course, and I see I already completed 3% of
my last activity was today, just a minute ago. So that's really nice, and LearnDash is doing
all that stuff for us. So if I go to my profile, I see my progress, I already started, and I see my
course progress. How cool is that? I think that's really cool. This image is linked with my Gravatar
image. So if I edit my profile, here I can link my email account that I use to a Gravatar account.
It is free, so I highly suggest you do that, because that looks cooler when you go to your
profile page. There's still something I want to do in order to make it look a bit better. Go to
the customizer and go to the main row, design, background by the way if you want to learn
everything about this beautiful theme. I have a tutorial for you, YouTube and that's the
Bloxy tutorial. New one is in the making so there I will teach you everything about creating
a beautiful website using the Bloxy theme. Right now I want to have a dark background and I
go to the logo, change it to a light logo using SVG, select it and then over here of course, under the search icon I also want it to be
white, the menu, design, color, white, publish, close. So my opinion is a bit more dynamic. So on
which page, it doesn't matter which page I open, we have a nice dark area. That brings me to the
following. How about changing these colors? Let's configure this and let's make it look a little
bit better using LearnDash. I want to take a look at those colors over here by going to the
settings of LearnDash. So I go to LearnDash, settings, general, general and then the accent
color and go to the website in a new tab, going to commands and go to the customizer and I
want to make use of the dark blue purplish color. So I go to colors, I grab color one, copy it and
I paste it here. Go to the website. This is dark. This is dark. So I like it. Then let's take a look
at this green color. I'm actually happy with it. It can be a little bit lighter and then it will
be seen over here like that. Then I can go to one of the videos and it looks like this. I like the
blue purplish color. So we really adjusted the style by just changing a few colors. If there's a
notification or a warning, I can make it red. And this is one simple click, but look how it changes
everything. I turn this on. Look at this. We go from this to this. I like that so much better.
So here at the left, we can navigate through the course and here we see the videos, the lessons, we
can go to the next topic. So if I go to video 2.1, what is affiliate marketing? I can mark it as
complete, it's already the case. I can go to the previous lesson, I can go to the next lesson,
I love it. Also over here. So I like that a lot. Close this. What else? We can add our logo. So
right now we see nothing over here. If I add my logo, dark one, and I save it. Boom, there
you go. Video response of CSS, that means if somehow you make your screen smaller or bigger,
this will automatically adjust. So that's what I prefer. Global stagnation settings,
I'm okay with this. Admin user settings, the only thing I want to do over here, include in
reports, I don't want to include the admin in the report. So if I'm watching my course all the time,
I don't want that to be shown in the overview of my statistics. I only want to see what my members
are doing. So few settings, a lot of changes, so I'm really happy with that. Then we can go to
the next settings here, registration, everything. It's okay unless you're like I don't want to
have someone's last name, you can turn it on or say it's not required. It's all fine. Payment,
we use Stripe emails. You get an email when this the customer and then the email sender settings
from, if it's empty it will use a site title so I will say ferdy.com from email info at ferdy.com.
Then I go to LMS license, okay, translations, I'm not going to talk about translations, support
if you have any question and here you see how well your site is doing with LearnDash. There's
advanced custom labels so if you want to have a website in a different language you can change all
these words over here. Everything else is fine. So those were the settings. What is next?
Right now we have an overview with our course, but we can make it look better using the course
grid. The course grid is a block that comes with LearnDash and you can edit it using the WordPress
So let me show you how to configure the block grid from LearnDash. In order to make this look better,
I hold command and I go to the customizer. Then I click on edit page. If I click over here, there
are a lot of settings here. So I can go to the skin, change it from a grid to a masonry or a
list. So everything will be below each other. I prefer the grid but if you have a list you can
also have multiple options like that. The same is with the grid. So there's a grid right now
it's a little bit confused that's totally fine so I refresh the page. Still confused, let
me click on it. Go back to grid one. Okay, that's it. How many columns? Well, I'm okay with
displaying three courses in a row. If you say two, everything will be bigger. Let's say three. Then
I go to query. I want to display nine courses, ordered by ID. Let's take a look at the elements.
Do I want to display a thumbnail? By the way, right now, everything looks nice when it comes
to the thumbnail. If you click over here, it still looks weird. I'll fix that in a minute.
The thumbnail size. So let's say medium. That will fix that problem. So much better already. Okay.
Okay, so I want to show the content, the title, the clickable title, meta information,
progress bar. I like to show a progress bar for people that are already enrolled like
that. Do I want to have a filter? Well no, I don't have a lot of courses so I don't need a
filter. That looks so much better because this filter thing pushes everything down a bit. This
is better in my opinion. Then there are styles. Equal grid height, we'll take a look at a later
one when we have multiple courses. And then I want to go to the customizer because I want to
go to colors and grab this color. Command A, Command C. Because over here, having font color,
I want it to be blue, like that. And let me see, the ribbon font color white, the ribbon background
color, it's already orange so that's fine. The icon color I want it to be orange, so I grab
this color, copy, that is this area over here. I can background like that. But now this is dark
so I need to go up. Let me see, styles, element, ribbon, the icon color, the icon itself should be
white like that. Okay, then there's the preview and advanced and everything else is fine. So if I
refresh the page, it looks better in my opinion. Total of one student, total quizzes, there are
no quizzes yet. I'm already enrolled, this is how it looks and also this now looks better.
That's how we can make it better step by step. I will also add a second course that second
course is just for the sake of the tutorial so you can see what is possible when you have
multiple courses. We can sell multiple courses, we can give discount so let me show you what you
can do with that when you have multiple courses on your website. Right now we have two courses
but we can also sell bundles or subscriptions so maybe you have 20 courses and you can say, hey,
for $20 per month or for $100 per month, you can have access to all my courses or you can sell two
courses for the price of one and a half. Let me show you how. We go to the backend, learn-lms, and
then we go to groups. I don't have any groups yet. I can click on add or add new over here, and then
I could say monthly subscription or I can say the ultimate online business bundle. Everything
together is maybe 20 hours and 50 minutes. go for featured image, upload files, select files to
my desktop, ultimate bundle, get rid of the dash, copy, paste, paste, there's my featured image
and I should actually, it's a group so I should create categories all over again, well I'll
leave it for now, then Then I need to publish it and then I want to go to settings, buy now
or recurring so I could say the group price is zero every year or every month you pay $17
and have a people buy this, they go to their profile, but I prefer to buy now. So the two
courses together I think $300 so I say for $247 you have both courses and you go to the profile
page when you buy this. So I update it and then at courses we need to assign the courses
to this group. So it's both of the courses. If I take a look, the ultimate online business
bundle, Affiliate Marketing and Element Pro and role. Great. If I go to the homepage, you
see nothing. If I want to place it over here, that's possible. I can edit the page, I can click
over here and then I can say show two columns, then I can duplicate it, click
on the three dots, duplicate, then over here I close the template, go
to query and I change the post type from courses to groups. There you go. So now the home
page looks like this. Complete Elementor course, affiliate marketing course or the ultimate online
business bundle. And if you want to, you can also say I only want to have one column. Well, this is
one way of displaying all of this. You can also do it another way. So we have two courses and I
want to sell them as a bundle and I want to make a nice sale on my homepage using the WordPress
editor. I'm not an expert at the WordPress editor. It's getting better, it's getting quite
better, so that's good, but I'm not an expert in it. So I will show you really simple how you can
create an area in your homepage or landing page that shows how you can sell a deal for multiple
courses using the WordPress editor. First of all, I want to get rid of the title, so I go to the
customizer, I use the Bloxy theme and that makes it really easy because I just can hover over
the title, click on edit and then I say I don't want to have a site title or an excerpt. Publish,
close. Okay. I am not the master of the WordPress blog editor but I can do a few things with it
so let me show you what you can do. Over here I have two courses and here I have a bundle. Two
courses for the price of $247 and if you buy them all individually you pay around $300. So that's
a great deal and using the WordPress editor I can search for a cover. You know I've been in a cover
band once but then I found out it wasn't a cover band but a playback band and I wanted to do covers
but I had to do playback things and so I quit. Super cool story. So I click on the cover.
My sister is my editor. She must be thinking should I cut this out? Well, you can leave it
in. Also this part. So I can choose an image or a backdrop color. I choose for color 1. Again,
click on it twice. I can write a title, Get Access to All Courses for just, maybe I should not
mention the price. So Get Access to All Courses, okay, hit enter, forward slash, and then I go
for a button, button. There you go. The button will say get access and when I'm not there it
should be orange. So I go to for the colors, background should be orange, the text should be
white, it should be aligned in the center. Well, if I update it and take a look at the
result it's not full width so I can go over here to the cover then I can say
full width and I can say align center, align center, full width. Okay I click over
here With no, none. But this one, center. Okay, there's a lot of space in between, so I go
to the cover again. So, to the settings. And there's the block spacing. I want it to be one.
Then I click on the button. I go for the second tab here. And the radius can be 25 and then I
go to the website and if I go to this bundle, I go to this link, I can copy that link and I can
paste it over here. Update. I can get rid of this now and then it looks like this, two courses or
get access to all courses and if I click over here especially in an incognito window for just 247 I
get access to both courses. So that's how you can sell a bundle and display that on your website
through the grid element or a block or through something like this with a link. What we're going
to do right now is, oh man, it is so boring. We're going to create the footer and I want to take a
look at the footer, customize, I go to the footer, click over here to bring it to the center like
that, copyright, current year and then And I can edit it, go to design, make the background
dark, make the text white, publish, close. And there's a gap over here. Why could that
be? Let's see. Let's make this zero and zero. I'm making websites since 1999 but I'm
sometimes still confused between margin and padding. Okay so there is somehow a space over
here. General layout. Yes. Content area spacing. So if I say 60, it's also 60 at the bottom. What
I can do, I can add something else over here and then in that way it can be fixed. So that's
what I wanted to show you. So when people go to this website they can choose a course, they
can choose a combination, they can buy it and when they buy it they get access to it at once all
on autopilot and we make money while offering the best courses that we can make. If you take a look
at the footer, we can add some menu items over here talking about legal stuff. Not my favorite
subject, but what I would do if I were you, since this is different in every country of the world,
you can search for course website legal pages and check that out. And check that out, there
are also legal pages, creator or simulator, templates. So figure out for yourself which
pages you need in your country, how to create legal pages, privacy policy generator, selling
with trust, learn justice from narratives itself. So read this. And then you can decide what kind
of legal pages you need. Okay, maybe you want to create a quiz within your course. And you have
a few nice options. Making the quiz is really nice. There are a lot of nice functionalities.
But what you also can do, you can make sure that people need to pause for the quiz before they
continue with the course. So let me show you how to do all that. Let's create a quiz and set up the
configurations. In order to create a quiz, I go to the backend. I want to go to my course, affiliate
marketing course, and then there's an introduction about affiliate marketing. I talk about a lot of
things, and then below that I want to have a quiz. So I can click on the arrow down, I can add a
new quiz or I can go back to quizzes and I add my first quiz and I can place it on the right
place later. affiliate marketing introduction quiz. I have some content over here like, good
luck with the quiz. Let's go for five points. Okay, I publish it. Now, I want to go to
the builder over here, the second tab. Now I can create a quiz and of course I start with a
question. So over here, the question is, can you promote both digital and physical products with
affiliate marketing? affiliate marketing question mark. I copy the title, command A, command C, and
I add the question. I click on this beautiful sign over here and then here at the question I need
to paste it. So there it is. And then I can have an answer. Well, there are multiple questions
you can ask. There's a single choice answer, so only one option is right and it can give
you one point when you have it right. So the first answer is yes, you can have both remote
digital and physical products. The second answer is no. And over here I can check which one is
correct because Learn-As does not know that by itself not yet and then there are question
settings. So, one of them is for instance, for the correct answer, you are right with
affiliate marketing you can promote both physical and digital products. Use a different
message for the incorrect answer. Are you crazy? Of course the right answer is yes. Angry. So I
think that will be a great motivation. Also a solution hint. Let me update it before you open a
lot of tabs. There it is. It is yes. The answer is yes. Not the test, but yes. So let me see where
that appears. You can also give different points to each answer but for now that's not necessary.
I want to collapse them all and go for the second question. The second question is what are the
right ways to do affiliate marketing? it marketing and I say multiple answers possible. Copy, add
the question, click over here, paste it over here. So I want to have four answers so I go from
single choice to multiple choice but there So the first one is place your affiliate link on your
social media accounts and maybe for the tutorial I will do something else but if you make this
quiz don't make it too easy. Don't say as an answer I don't know don't make it too easy because
then people maybe don't take it serious. So I say place your affiliate link. And then the fourth
one, email everyone you know with your email, with your affiliate links. So the correct answers
are, the first one, placing it on your own social media account is okay. Not in the comments, put a
lot of value and don't send it to anyone without them asking for it. I prefer to only provide my
affiliate link to people that are interested and are not asking for it. So there you go, again, we
can have all the questions here. asking for it. So there I go again we can have all the questions
here and now we can have different points for each answer. So for the total points is zero but you
know what for every correct answer you get one 0 points, also 1 point. So in that way people can
get more points when they have them both right. So what else? This is weird. I should get rid of
this because now I cannot add another question but I can collapse this and then I can add a new
question. The third question, what is the right order to create great content? Question mark,
copy, click over here, paste it. So this time, I want to go for a sorting choice. So I will have
five answers or a sorting choice. So I will have five answers and they should be placed in the
right order. I have to fill them in right now in the right order so find your niche and the second
one is do research about your niche. Find great topics to make content about. Prepare the content
that you want to make. The fifth one is create the content. Okay, the amount of points people
can get is one if they have it correct. Again, we can go to the settings. I'm okay with
that right now. Save it. The fourth question, I just say fill in the blank, copy, paste it,
save and then I say fill in the blank. So here you see what you need to do. So I say when you
make a sale through affiliate marketing you, you get a and then I say commission left bracket
space and then money. Update it will get one point when they fill in the right word. So in total
they can make five points. So I click on update, click over here. Affiliate marketing introduction
quiz. Good luck with the quiz. Let's go for five points. Start the quiz. Can you promote both
digital and physical products with affiliate marketing? Yes. You don't see a response yet
if you're right or not. What are the right ways to do affiliate marketing? Multiple
answers are possible. Pleasure affiliate link and social media. Yes. No, that's spammy.
Create content with a lot of value, yes, email everyone you know that's also not value. Okay.
What is the right order? First find your niche, then do research about your niche, find great
topics to make content about, prepare for the content and create the content. Fill in the blank.
When you make a sales trip for the marketing you get a dog for your birthday. Now, commission,
finish the quiz and I get 4 out of 4 points. Is that a good get? I don't get points over
here. I get it. Save it. Okay. I should say you can get one point over here. So I got all the
points I can get. Great. But what I don't like, I would like to see the result immediately when I
fill in the answer. So if I say no, I would like to see that's wrong. How can we do that? I?
Can go to the settings I? can scroll down and Then over here question display one question at a
time. I can also say all questions as to advance I Say zero all all questions are there at once
so if I refresh this, start quiz, there I go. And here I can see the hint, it is yes, okay.
If I would say no, I can fill in everything without seeing the results. So let me bring this
back to one question at a time. What I would like to say is display the results after each
submitted answer. So now if I refresh the page, start the quiz and I say no, there's the hint by
the way. Oh, incorrect. Are you crazy? Of course the right answer is yes. Oh no. Oh no. Next. This
one and this one. Check. Wow, they're both green. Great. Next. So let's see if I do a few the right
way. Find your niche, prepare the content you want to make. So the first one and the second one are
right. I click on check. Wow, how cool is that. Next. It's wrong, the right one is commission.
Finish quiz I got 2 out of 5 points so it's 40. I cannot continue now because I said over here
that people need to pass 80% of the score so they have to have 4 points at least. We can have a quiz
certificate, well I don't do that, we can save the quiz, we can restrict the quiz retakes so you can
only fill do it a few times and all questions of course required to complete. I can have a timer,
update, one more thing, I want to edit, there you go. Update, let's take a look at the course. So
there's the physical blah, blah, blah, and I want to do the quiz. So if I click on next, I go to the
quiz, I need to fill in the quiz, if I do all the wrong answers, finish the quiz. If I'm feeling
everything correct. Next question, please your affiliate link on social media. No, yes. Okay,
next. Let's see, find your niche. The content is the latest one. Do your research about the
niche, prepare the content. Okay, awesome, next. Commission, check, finish quiz, and now I
can click here to continue. So that's how you can create quizzes and place them anywhere in the
website. When people finish your course, they sometimes like to receive a certificate. They can
use that for anything when they're applying for a job. I sometimes get questions like, hey, for my
YouTube tutorials, do you also have certificates? Because then they can show that and get a job or
apply somewhere else. So let me show you how you can create a certificate within LearnDash. In
order to create a certificate, we need to have a certificate background, a certificate image. So
you can search for certificate image or template. You can go to downloads or images. And there you
see a lot of examples. The only thing is when you get this from Google, that is not allowed. So in
my case, I would go to ferdy.com forward slash elements. Hit enter. I have a subscription over
here and then I can make use of so many images, stock videos, graphics, photos, fonts,
add-ons, web templates, 3D stuff, and music. So interesting. Look at this. So much
is added every week. So I go to graphic templates and I search for certificate. I want to have a
flat one, not a 3D one. So this one, for instance, then I download it. I create a new project. I say
Elementor Pro course, for instance. And download, so I can open it using Adobe Illustrator. What
I've done, I adjusted a bit and I created a nice JPEG from it. And that's what I will use
as my background. Then we're going to fill in dynamic data, so the name of the person that
is following the course, the date and stuff, and the course title. And then it will be
exported as a PDF that he can share anywhere. So, let me show you how to do that. I go to the
back end, to LearnDash certificates, and I need to create my first one. If you don't have
the certificate software, you can go to add-ons, manage add-ons, and over here at installed I see
Learner's Certificate Builder. If that's not the case yet, you can go over here and search
for certificate. Certificate. And you can install it by clicking here. And then it will
appear over here. Then we go back to certificates. I click on add my first certificate and I call
this one Elementor Pro Certificate. Or just a certificate that will be shown everywhere. So
let's say certificate, main certificate. Perfect. It's interesting to say the word certificate a
lot of times in one sentence. The certificate of the certificates is the best certificate of all
the certificates or that person looks a little bit certificate. Could also be a logic. Okay,
whatever. Let's continue. I use the certificate builder by clicking here. And now I need to
have a background image. I could say upload, but I prefer to say media library. And then I
go to upload files, select files. And I already have mine. So you can find anything. And you can
have a title, some things you can have over here and then you need to fill the information, fill
in the blanks using the certificate builder. So I have this one with my name, the certificate was
earned at Ferdy.com for the course and then I can have the course over here. I open it, copy the
title, paste in the alt text and the description, I select it, great. it. Great. But now if I start
typing, it appears here. So how can I fix that? I click on the plus this depending on your your
layout, but in order to place it exactly where you want it, I would go for the plus. This is
the WordPress block editor. They also call it Gutenberg. I want to click on browse all, close
this for now. Again, browse all, and then I search for columns. There you go. Then I can select what
kind of columns I want to have. One big one at the left and a small one at the right or three
columns. I go for, if you take a look over here, I want to have the text over here. So I go for 33
and 66. Sometimes I have to click twice. Now if I click over here, I see this area. So I start with
a spacer. So I click on add block, I search for a spacer, and then over here, bring it back, I can
increase the spacing. Now if I click on this and I hit enter, I can open a new area, a new block.
So I click on the plus, I go for browse all, and then I see the LearnDash elements blocks. So I
can have course info but what I want to show over here, the certificate of appreciation is proudly
presented to, so I want to have the course name, the course taker's name, LearnDash user Neda. So
now I see FerdyKorp. I can bring it to the center and here at the right I can change the field from
user login to user first and last name. It looks better. I can change the size, make it bigger.
And then I can change the color. So how about the third one to the first one because that color
is looking like this color a bit. But it's not, I don't like where it's placed right now so I
click on the spacer I increase the space great then I click over here I go for the spacer right
mouse click duplicate it then I drag it here below now it's over here I want to decrease this the
certificates was earned for the course title so now I need to go back. Click over here, hit
enter. Click on the plus, go for browse all. Now I go for the Learn-ish course info. Course ID is
required when not used within a course. This will be fetched later. So I bring it to the right.
Let me see, the certificate was earned at Ferdy or maybe I can bring it to the center. Let me see.
Yeah, we can bring it to the center. Then again, I want to duplicate the spacer, bring it below the
learner scores and then here decrease this. I want to show the date or the day. I click on here and
enter, click on the plus, Browse All, let me see. I think also Course Info, I should know that
because I practiced it. And then over here, let me see what they have. Course Completed, Update.
Okay, I don't see anything yet. The Format, so by default, I don't see anything yet. The format.
So by default, I will show you in a minute how it looks default, but right now I want to bring
this to the right and I want to change the color to blue. So this color to blue. I can make this
bigger. Assuming that the date is not that long. I'm okay with that. It is in two lines because
the date will be shorter. So right now it will say certificate presented to Ferdy Korpershoek. The
certificate was earned at ferdy.com for the course and then I can make this a bit shorter, maybe
this bigger and this is fine because this will also not be in two lines, two rows, or how do you
say that? So, I'm okay with this. If I view it, it will probably not be allowed. So what I need to
do now, this is my certificate. I'm happy with it. I need to check how it looks. So I need to go to
my courses, and go to the Elementor Pro course, that's the shortest course I have right now.
And then I go to the settings of that course, I scroll down and here it says course certificate
and I go for the main certificate. Update. Now I need to go to the course. What I need to
do, I need to go to the first video and then everywhere I click on mark complete, next one,
next one. So you see 21%, 28. I need to complete it, so I'll see my certificate. This is for me, I
think, the best way to show the real certificate, to check if it's working. So you can also create a
really short course, call it test, with one video, mark this complete. And then you can download
your certificate. I click over here. There it is, certificate. Okay to Freddy Korpershoek Element
ProCourse. This is not what I have in mind so I'm happy that I test this. So I'll go back
and the great thing is I can refresh this and then see the results. So I don't need this
anymore. Now I go back to the certificate, main certificate. Let's see, maybe I should
make it full width. Does it change anything or not? No. So I go back and I increase this. Let's
see if that is doing something over here. Yes, okay. So from now on, this is going to be my
reference. What I see here is what I want, how it should look. So I make this bigger, this
will also push it a bit down, refresh, okay, maybe a little bit more space. Okay, then Elementor
Pro course can go down a bit and actually in my background image I should bring this a bit to
the left otherwise it's not in the center. So over here also increase it a bit. Let's try 125.
Okay. Okay, maybe the course can also be bigger. 36, refresh. Yeah, it definitely should be,
this should be more to the left. This is next level in my opinion. I have the left arrow
over here, or the left area, which is 33%, I can also increase that, and then it shifts
to the right. Look at this. So let me see. This should exactly be in the center of this line.
So now, this can also be in the center. Well, this one is, or is it not? Maybe only this line should
go to the right. So let's make sure that this is in the center. So I can increase this a bit more,
let's say 40. If I say 40 over here, I should say 60 over here. So the total of the width is 100%.
Yes! So the total of the width is 100%. Yes, I'm happy with this. And then this can be lower
and this is the month, the date or the day and the year. I don't need this stuff. So let
me see how I roll. I go to settings, general, I see here May 27, 24. No, so that's like this.
So I copy this, and that's how I place the format over here. I think I should bring it a bit lower.
I need to go to the spacing, increase it a bit, refresh. That's only the time. We're getting
there. I just want to show you how this goes in my life sometimes. The real stuff. So I was probably
at the time. Okay, then I go for this one. Okay, now the question is what do I want
with this? Does it look okay? Or outline to the right? Well I think it's okay, it's in
the center. Maybe a little bit less spacing. So ladies and gentlemen, when people finish my
course, it will look like this. Certificate Freddy Korkshoek Elementor Pro course. If I
download it, it is written in not in stone, but in PDF. So super cool. Thanks to LearnDash.
So that's how you can create a certificate and if I would finish the other course, then the other
course will be shown in that PDF. So that's how you can create a certificate using LearnDash.
You can also give discounts. Why would you give discount? With discounts, you can create a lot of
sales in a short amount of time. I will show you in the next area after this how I've done that
and made more than $6,000 in one day. It doesn't happen a lot, maybe three times per month. So it's
really unique to me. No, just kidding. But I will show you how to do that. And one of the things
that's so powerful is when I give discounts. So for instance, I have an email list, a lot of
people and I send them to them, hey, today only 50% discount for the scores for the first 100
people. And if they can, okay, I will explain to you in the next part, how it works. So let's
talk about making coupon codes in order to boost your sales. In order to create a coupon, we go to
the backend, to LearnDash LMS, to coupons. Coupons are a great way to get a lot of sales. I just
thought that when I was doing the introduction of this part of the tutorial, so I don't have to
repeat it. I click on enter first coupon. I can give this a title. This is for my reference only,
so nobody will see this. So I'll call this one Uncle Jim from Australia. Now I could just say 25%
since we're working with courses here I can give a lot of discount because I don't have to produce
anything physical. I can sell this unlimited time so 25% is a nice discount. When I click on
publish a slack will be created. Well not yet, I need to fill in the amount first. Okay. So
the coupon code, it can be a code like this, or it can say 25%. So it's easier for people to
fill the code in. Is the flat rate? No, it's a percentage. If I would say 25 with a flat rate,
I'm giving $25 of discount. Well, I prefer give percentage. So it's up to you, do you want to give
flat dollars away or a percentage of the price of the course? I go for a percentage, the amount is
25. The number of redemptions, how many games have you played that start with Red Dead Redemption?
Have you played Red Dead Redemption 1 or 2? But when it comes to the tutorial and this option,
this feature, it's not about the games, but it's about how many people can make use of this coupon
code. So what you can do, you can say I have 100 redemptions, you can send an email to your email
list. I have 60,000 people in my email list, maybe a little bit less, and I can send an email
like hey, I have an amazing course for you, only for the first 100 people you get 25% discount that
creates an urge of oh no I need to I don't want to miss out. So it can be that in the first day of
those 60,000 people, 100 people buy the course and if the course is $100 and they get 25%
discount I make 100 times $75 which is $7,500 which is cool to earn in one day. I can also say
it will be available from the 1st of January 2025 from 12 o'clock until the 5th. I can send a lot
of emails like hey guys two days left etc. So the only thing I don't like is that when I don't want
to use this I need to get rid of all this stuff again. Oh, oh, what is going on? So this is what
I don't like, that it's just for the tutorial. Anything for you. I can also say this is only
for the affiliate marketing course. Apply to all groups. If I sell to a group I can say also only
for this one. Well in my case it's for all groups and also for all courses. So what I could say if
this is all live app.ferdy.com I can send an email to my email list, hey guys I just released my
course platform for the first thousand people you get 25% off on all courses for the first thousand
people and they make $75,000. Wow! But then of course you need to have amazing courses, you don't
want to make money from people and then they do not get any value. So let's check this out. The
thing is with this is that it takes a long time before you see the coupon code. Let me show you.
I go here to this website as a visitor and I'm like okay I want to buy the affiliate marketing
course. Okay I want to take this course. Okay, I need to create a username, Jim, curry, corp
at gmail, Jim, curry, with a password and then I click on register and now I can fill in the coupon
code. Personally, I don't like that because people are like, hey, where's the coupon code and then
they can email me, but it is what it is and over here I can say 25% by the coupon and now I get a
discount. So I can take a course and then I can pay and stuff. So that's how it works, maybe not
the best way, but what I can do, I can also say it over here like in the discount in the checkout
form. So that's how you can create coupons and as I said before so maybe I should not say it again
you know what I'll say it again just this time for free that you can also say $25. And now when
you buy this, you get $25 off, which sounds pretty nice and it's even less discount in percentage,
25, depending on the course you buy. So it looks appealing. So you can also play around with what
was working better, what is giving a higher return on investment or a conversion ratio. So that's how
you can create coupons. I will not save it. I like the percentage because then I give away more
discount and isn't that all what we want? To give more. Give and it will come back to you. Oh,
press down, shake together and running over give and it will come back to you when you give, give
to the Lord attentive if you want to watch the whole song, search on YouTube for Run Kanohi give
and it will come back to you yes I don't pass it around everywhere. Only in this tutorial you're
privileged to get a link to that video. Okay, that was it about coupon codes. What I want to do
now, I want to show you a case study that I did in 2020. I created a course, an affiliate marketing
course. I worked really hard for one or two months to create the course. I think it's amazing. Well,
I was over delivering, but I was never good in selling it. So what I did, I sent an email to my
email list at that moment around 38,000 people and I said I'm selling this course, it's $997. I think
it was worth it big time, but I was never good at making people to buy it. I just want to give
people the opportunity like hey, if you want to, it is something you can buy it. I'm not into that
tricking manipulation stuff. But I got no sale, maybe one or two. So a few days later I
said, you know what, I think I got no sales, otherwise I would feel bad towards people that
bought the whole thing for $1,000 and then give discounts. So I said, you know what, just
for a few days, I will sell this for $297. And this deals for the first 30 people, after that it
becomes $397. So from the 37 or 38,000 people, one in the five people opened it, so a few thousand
and 1% clicked on the link and of that 1%, so 1% is 378. A few people bought it and then my best
day, it spread over two days, but I think I made 6,400 euros in 24 hours. So that's how this could
work. So what I did over here, I create those tutorials and then when I say to people, hey,
download my images or download something else, my free templates, then they sign up for my email
list and then I can send them emails when I have a new tutorial or when I have something like this.
So I build a value, I place it on the internet and through the organic results I get a lot of
people on my list because I'm focusing on helping other people and then there was the day that I
decided to make a sale and in one day I made more than 6,000 euros which is a lot which is also in
dollars it's not the end because then I need to help people with the course and make sure that
they become successful. But that's how you can do that. So that's why I sometimes talk about
ConvertKit, building an email list and giving value because that can be a great way to make
money. So if you sell your course, you can also use CardFlows and then do split testing and when
people want to see free content about that course, then they need to leave their email address,
then they go to your email listing and send an automated email sequence, like every day you
can send something about the subject you're passionate about and what your course is about,
and then if they did not do that, they can track that using ConvertKit, you can say, hey, they did
not buy, now give them the offer. And if they buy, they don't get the offer, if they don't buy, then
you get the offer. And in that way, using an email provider or email marketing tool, you can make
so much more sales because right now, people can leave my website and I'll ask them. But when they
leave their email address, I still can send them emails on autopilot, everything on autopilot.
And that's why I see so much commercials, probably or ads about, hey, watch my free video
because then they get our email address and they can send all that stuff to us. I like to do it the
honest way, just really giving the value. The only thing is I'm not that good in selling, so at the
end I did not sell this course for $997. I decided just to throw everything on the internet for free,
so you can watch it over here, Affiliate Marketing 30. I think it's almost eight hours on how to
become successful with affiliate marketing. It's the way it is. I like it. I am not a help desk
to people that pay for my course. I can do it, but then I prefer to outsource it because I need
to focus on one thing. Right now I'm making this video. I'm focused. I can go like crazy and if
I have to answer email and do a lot of stuff, it doesn't work for me. So that's something
about that. You YouTube and search for ConvertKit tutorial. And over the years it made
me so much money, more than $200,000. I'm not kidding. I don't understand that this video is not
watched that much, but it is what it is. You can learn how to work with ConvertKit. It's an amazing
in-depth tutorial, longer than all the other short ones, complete, if not complete, probably. I
cannot say it because I didn't watch the video, but this is really in-depth. So thank you for
watching this part and now let's continue with the rest of the tutorial. As I said before you can
also use external tools to create a landing page. You can use card flows with split testing. Really
nice. I should make a new tutorial about card flows. It is a pay tool but it can do a lot of
amazing things and I think it's worth it when you can increase your sales. We're gonna talk about
that. What I want to do right now, I want to talk about using external tool to create your landing
page. And in order to do that, we need to set up a few things. I know a few tricks, a few cool tricks
that can help you to redirect your landing page to external page or a page on your website that
can be used with an external page builder. Wow, how complicated can I make an introduction for
a new area in the website. Well as complicated as this I think in the end everything will make
sense so let me show you what we're going to do. Right now we're going to take a look at a really
important aspect of this tutorial. We're going to take a look at the landing page. We already
created a landing page for the affiliate marketing course so when you click over here this is the
page you'll see and if you log in or if you go to the website without being logged in, you see
this, in the marketing course with three tags or categories which are actually not necessary
for people that want to buy the course. Then, not enrolled, 30 plays remaining, the price,
and can take the course or log in. You see a video that you can play that shows a lot about
the course and you can see all this over here so you can get a overview of what we will cover in
the course and based on that people can say I'll take this course and they can log in and stuff but
it's a bit limited in what you can do over here. It's nice but at the end of the day it's really
important to have a great landing page for your course. Why? Maybe one in the 20 people that land
on this page will buy the course based on how it looks. But what if we could make a landing page
where one in the 10 people will buy the course because it's displayed better, the information
looks better, maybe people can even get something for free in exchange for the email address and
then we can send them emails which can increase the conversion ratio. By the way, the conversion
ratio is the amount of people on a page that by the course. So if 100 people go to this page and
10 people by the course, the conversion ratio is 10% and you can increase the conversion ratio by
trying new things and if the conversion ratio can be increased to 15% that means that out of 100
people, 15 people by the course and that's why I think this is a really important aspect of this
tutorial. Do you want to make more or less sales? I guess you want to make more sales. So it's
really important to optimize your landing page so more people will buy the course. You can help
more people and at the same time, make more money. So how can we do this? Well, let me show you the
practical part. If I go to my website, and I go to the affiliate marketing course, automatically,
I go to this LearnDash generated page. Of course, we could change some things. But what I want to
do, I want to copy the URL from this point on, the forward slash after.com. I copy it, I go to my
notes, and I say over here, main course affiliate. Yeah, it's already there. The title, main course
LearnDash link. I know this is the link from LearnDash. So what I want to do instead of letting
people go to this page I want to let them go to another page. So what I can do I can go to new
page and call this one the affiliate marketing course. New landing page. Publish publish. I can
copy this and I can go to my notes and I can say new landing page. Paste it but then again I want
to get rid of all the stuff from the.com area. So only from the forward slash after.com. So what
I want to do instead of letting people go to this page, I want to send them to my new landing page.
How can I do that? I go to the backend to plugins add new and then I search for redirection. This
plugin is a gift from heaven by John Garley. I click on install now, that was a joke. Ferdy stop
it, oh man I'm crying so loud because of the joke, it's so funny I have to cry. Okay I refresh
the page because I activated the plugin. What this plugin does, it will let people that go to a
certain URL in our website and we decide where to and where from. So I go to tools, redirection,
I need to set it up once, let me close this, I scroll down and I click on continue again and
I say ready to begin. So I go back over here. I want to say that everybody that goes to the main
LearnDash link of the affiliate marketing course, the URL, everybody that goes to app.ferdy.com for
just courses affiliate marketing course, which is the landing page from LearnDash will go to my new
created page for such affiliate marketing course. So I don't save it yet if I go to the homepage
right now. I go to this page, but if I add the redirection, I go to the website. Now, if I click
over here, I go to the new landing page. How cool is that? That's really cool and then what's also
nice over here I see how many hits I have so how many people went over here and then I went to
the new link and I also see the latest day when it happened. May the 27th. So now it's a matter of
creating a landing page over here and we can use any page builder we want. There's only one thing
I forgot to do so I need to go to the backend, plugins, redirection, deactivate. So now if I go
to the website, it needs to be refreshed. Okay, there you go. I need to get this link, take this
course because we need to use that. So I click on it, I copy this, go to my notes, register
and by course, this link, I need to use it in my new landing page. I go back, plug-ins, and I
turn on redirection. Now if I go to the website, I go to the new page. And then we can use those
links for people to buy the course after they are convinced that it's the best thing since sliced
bread. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to make use of that external tool that I've been talking
about, external tool, and it's Elementor. And we can build it from scratch. I have a lot of
tutorials about Elementor. You can learn, build something from scratch. I will show you in
a bit how. You can also import something that I've created for you. Oh, Ferdy, you should not have
done that. Yes, I know, but I did. Because I want to help you and I want to save you some time. So
you can focus on counting your money when you're making so much sales. Who knows? So let's install
Elementor and see how we can work with that. In order to create the landing page with Elementor
we go to ferdy.com forward slash Elementor, hit enter and we'll be redirected over here.
That's the website builder. We're going to make use of the free version and they are really
good at hiding it. So what we also can do, close this, then we go to the backend of our
website to plugins add new. Then over here, I search for Elementor and here we can find the free
version. More than 12 million installations, here you see more than 10 million that I have inside
information, more than 12 million installation already Activate now we can set things up, but I
prefer not to do that so I click on the X Go to the screen options get rid of the element or
overview and now I go to element or settings Featured or features and I search for the editor
top bar and I activate it. I save the changes here below and now I go to the website, I go
to the affiliate marketing course. Now I can create this page using Elementor. So I click on
Edit page, and then over here I see a new button, Edit with Elementor, I click on that button. Since
we're opening it for the first time, you see a few notifications, I close those, I click on, got it.
And this is the Elementor page builder. There's so much to talk about. If you want to learn more
about how to create a website using Elementor, you can go to YouTube and search for WordPress
tutorial 30 Elementor. And there is a reason why I have a tutorial about Elementor Pro. It is
the one I'm talking about. From January 2024, five and a half hours on how to make a website
using WordPress. You're going to learn so much about it. Right now I'm going to go through
it a bit faster because I don't want this tutorial to be too long. So what we can do
over here, I can get rid of the header and the footer. That's what I want. I can get rid of
the header and the footer, that's what I want, so I click on this icon over here, page settings,
I scroll down, and I say page layout, make it a canvas. Why? This page has one goal, and that's
to turn visitors into buyers. So I don't want them to get distracted with the header, other links
and stuff, so. How can we work with Elementor? Let me go over here to this icon and then to the
user preferences. I want to make everything dark, so I click here UI theme dark. I want to turn
on the editing handles, then I click on publish. Awesome. So what I want to have a few elements
below each other so I have a new area over here. Then I click on the plus and I can add a lot of
widgets. So I can drag a heading over here, click on the plus, below I can add a video, drag it
below, and I want to have some text so I click on the plus and I go for a text editor and I drag it
in between. It's a drag and drop page builder and if I'm going to show you how it works exactly that
can take a while so I'll keep it really simple over here. If you want to have a landing page over
here you can create one yourself by following the YouTube tutorial I just showed you. I will also
show you over here how it works. What I want to do now I want to give you a landing page for a
course and you can adjust it so you can save some time. So in order to do that we go to flirty.com
forward slash images, hit enter, then I can leave my Flirty's name over here and my email address.
I can subscribe, I can unsubscribe anytime when I have a new Elementor tutorial or new tutorial.
I'll let you know through this email. I subscribe, I check my mail so I go to my Gmail account and
it says important confirm your subscription. I confirm my subscription and there the download
goes. I drag it to the desktop. Now I go back to my website. I click on the folder icon, I click on
this arrow up so I can upload a pre-made template. It's a JSON file. I click on Select File. I go to
the Desktop, Images Tutorial, Folder 9, Elementor, Landing Page. I open this or select it, click on
Open. I continue. I click on Enable and Import. Insert. And there you go. So when you scroll
down, this button will stay there. You can have an overview of what you can cover, what you cover
in every module of your course. So you can adjust this information, you can adjust the colors. So
to show you really easy, I can click over here. Here I can change the title of the course. I can
go to the style. I can change the color if I want to. Over here I can click, and I can change the
content I can click over here choose a video file this one select and then if I scroll down I can
have a poster a fallback image this one, it's even better. So I don't want to do it twice, so get
rid of this one. And when people click on it, it starts to play. Over here, enroll now. That's the
URL I created before. Register and buy the course, copy this URL, paste it. So it's to register, but
this ID is the ID of your course. So if I publish it, I click on the I, I go to the backend, I
go to learn-courses, I need to hover over the course. And then here below at post equals, I
see 20. So that's affiliate marketing course, Elementor Pro course is 322. So if I create a
landing page for the affiliate marketing course, I need to have this link but then registration or
register ID 20. So you can check that over here. So over here I should have 322. So when people
click on this link, let me copy this link, paste it also over here, they go to the registration
page with the affiliate marketing course. So over here you can change the content, how many lessons
you have, how many hours, all the access you have and then again the overview. It's optimized
for all devices. So there you go. Now if I go to the website in an incognito window, so let me
go to the root of the website. I open this in an incognito window. I go to the course page, but I
will be redirected to this one. Fill up marketing course. I can watch the video. If I scroll down,
this sticks with us. It's optimized for all devices. If I click over here, look at this. I see
the price of the course. I can create an account, register. And when I do that, then I can pay.
How cool is that? Very cool, but even cooler, look at this. If I'm logged in as Josh, who bought
a course already, and I go over here, and I click on enroll now, since I'm already logged in, I
go directly to the affiliate marketing course checkout page, I can fill in the coupon, 25%.
So we don't need to have multiple buttons, just one button enroll now if you're logged in or
not, you can enroll. And if you're not logged in, then you can go to the register page and if you
are logged in, you go over here. I think that is amazing. So of course, it's up to you to make
a beautiful landing page. There is software that can help you to do split testing using Elementor.
What it does, it will show two different landing pages and based on where people click the most. So
for instance, this is page one and 10% clicks over here. And I have a similar page, but a little
bit different. The second page, and there are only five people by out of the hundred. Then I
know that the first page is converting better. So that's what you can do with cart flows. So you
can go to ferdy.com forward slash card flows and then you can get card flows and do and follow my
tutorial about that card flows. I'll make a new tutorial about it. I love it. Here's my tutorial.
It's already three years ago. I love this split testing man that can help you to get so much more
sales and another tool that can do it for you is let me go to YouTube, search for Divi tutorial
30. I have a course and a tutorial. This is the course, eight hours. This one is also sufficient,
four hours. And there we talk about split testing and that can do the same thing. And it's cheaper,
way cheaper than CardFlows. But that can really help you to optimize the amount of sales you make.
So I highly recommend you buy one of those tools or you get one of those tools or you just start
somewhere over here and then now and then you change the layout and then see if your sales are
increased or not. So this landing page is created using LearnDash and this one is created using
Elementor. Let me fix one more thing because I think we should not display this over here. Let me
show you how easy we can get rid of that. I log in again. I go to the landing page, customize. Then I
click over here on edit. I'm like I don't want to buy my course to see which categories there are.
So this is how it looks, this is how it looks for people that are not a member yet. Awesome. Then
I want to thank you for watching this tutorial. This is the end of the tutorial. I hope you
have a course right now, a course website, you already have your course and you can sell
it. Good luck with everything. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out in the comments.
I do my best to answer them. Sometimes it takes a bit longer. I get a lot of comments. I still want
to do everything myself, the editing, everything. So feel free to like the video, subscribe for more
upcoming WordPress related tutorials, and I wish you the best of luck in everything you do, and I
hope you enjoyed the tutorial. What else? There are a few videos over here that are related.
For instance, ConvertKit, how to build your email list and make money with that. And then,
yeah, that's it. And then, yeah, that's it. Ciao!
