Launch an Online Course

Turn what you know into a product people can buy and work through at their own pace, all hosted inside Vendi Today.

Step 1: Create the course product

Go to Memberships > Courses > Products and choose Create Product > Start from Scratch. Give it a title, a description that explains what students will get out of it, and a thumbnail image. Pick a pricing model — Free, One-Time, or Recurring — and create the product.

Step 2: Build out your content

Open the course editor to start adding your actual material. You'll see your course structure — modules, lessons, quizzes, assignments — laid out in a panel on the left, with your main editing space next to it. Breadcrumbs at the top keep you oriented as you move between sections.

From here:

  • Add modules to organize your content into logical chunks
  • Add lessons within each module
  • Drag items around to reorder them as your course structure evolves
  • Collapse modules you're not currently working on to reduce clutter while you focus on one section at a time

Step 3: Package it as an offer

A course product on its own isn't sellable — you need to wrap it in an offer first.

  1. Go to Memberships > Courses > Offers and click Create Offer.
  2. Fill in the offer details and attach the course product you just built.
  3. Set your price.
  4. Save, then flip the offer's status from Draft to Published once you're ready for people to buy it.

Step 4: Share it

Back in Offers, click the link icon next to your published offer to copy its checkout link. Drop that link anywhere you'd promote the course — email, social posts, your website — and you're open for business.

A tip before you publish

Preview your course as a student would before announcing it. It's much easier to catch a missing lesson or a broken video link while you're the only one looking at it.
