How to Sell & Deliver Your Online Course on Your Squarespace Website

Fewer tools. Maximum profit.

When I first started down this online course creation path, I went all in–following every step that the only gurus laid out. If Amy had it, I got it.

But here’s the problem:

Many of the online gurus are already making hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, per launch. And while that will be me one day, I’m not there yet.

And if you’re here, you probably aren’t there yet either.


After looking at my expenses month after month and seeing so much of my profit being consumed by fees for this program and that one, I often felt like this:

I needed a more cost-effective way to deliver my course. I needed a system that would allow me to

  • use the fewest number of platform (reducing the number and amount of fees)

  • drip my content and/or deliver it all at once

  • offer a payment plan

  • keep more of my money (the non-negotiable here)

And I figured it out! I use 3 tools that cost me less than $100 per month to host and deliver my online course.

Want to know how I do it? Great! Because I want to teach you.

Introducing How to Sell, Host & Deliver Your Online Course Using Squarespace

Online Course.png

Instead of paying for a website, paying for a place to host your course (hey there, Teachable), and paying for a payment gateway (hello Samcart), and paying for a leadpage, you can sell and deliver your online course on your own website without giving your hard earned money away in monthly fees.

By the end of this course, you’ll know how to

  • upload your video content and course material onto your website securely

  • automate the delivery of your course (dripped or all at once) on a platform you already pay for

  • organize your content so it’s easy to access by your students

  • sell your course accepting one time payments or payment plans

  • stop paying for and managing all of the different platforms

  • keep more of your money!

(with the added bonus of keeping all of your hard-earned traffic on your own website)

I wish someone had told me at the beginning, "Listen, SamCart is cool. Teachable is cool. Kajabi is cool. Cool for people who've been doing this so long that their revenue makes spending $300/month not that big of a deal. But when you're first starting, and you're building your client list, and you have fewer than 100 sales a month, spending that kind of money will eat into your profit fast.

FAQs

 

How long will it take me to set this up?

Well, that depends on how handy you are in Squarespace. This is a super easy process–your mind is going to be blown! So if you know how to set up a new page on Squarespace, and you have a basic knowledge of ConvertKit, you could have this ready to roll in an hour.

Can I offer payment plans with this?

You surely can! And I’m going to show you how to do it. What does this mean for you? You can stop paying for other payment processors and sell your course right on your site.

Can I do this and drip my content weekly?

Absolutely! You’ll need Squarespace Commerce to do it, and that level also includes the abandon cart feature which is worth the added (nominal) expense. It’s still less than paying for a whole other tool.

Can I do this if I have a Wordpress site?

I live in a square world, so I don’t know for sure. But I did hear from a little bird that this can be done on WP as well. Purchase at your own risk.

Can I still have modules?

Yep! Nothing about your course needs to be different. You’re just hosting it on your site.

But what about those people who share the password to the protected content?

Honey, there are people who will share their passwords whether you host it on your site or one of the other platforms. Don’t let a false sense of security get in the way of keeping more of your profit.

What is your refund policy?

I do not offer refunds. Why? Because I know this works and because you have instant access to this content from the moment you pay for it. I’m providing guidance for something that could literally save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. You want this.

For less than $100 per month, start with a simple, cost-effective system that lets you keep more of your money while you build your online business. And when you make it big, you can always upgrade, but I'm not sure you'll want to.
