Creating Your First Course
This guide walks you through building your first online course in Lead Fuel CRM, from setting up the course structure to adding content and publishing it for your audience.
Setting Up a New Course
Step 1:Navigate to Memberships and click "Create Course."
Step 2:Enter the course title and a description that explains what students will learn.
Step 3:Upload a course thumbnail image that represents the content.
Step 4:Choose the course category if you have multiple offerings.
Step 5:Set the course status to "Draft" while you build it out.
Building the Course Structure
Courses are organized into modules (sections) containing individual lessons:
Step 1:Click "Add Module" to create your first section.
Step 2:Name the module (e.g., "Module 1: Getting Started" or "Week 1: Foundations").
Step 3:Click "Add Lesson" within the module to create individual lessons.
Step 4:Repeat to add as many modules and lessons as your course requires.
Step 5:Drag and drop modules and lessons to reorder them as needed.
Adding Lesson Content
Each lesson can include one or more content types:
- Video: Upload video files or embed videos from external hosting services. Video is the most engaging content format for online courses.
- Text: Add written content, instructions, explanations, or supplementary material using the rich text editor.
- Downloads: Attach downloadable files such as PDFs, worksheets, templates, checklists, or resource guides.
- Audio: Upload audio files for podcast-style lessons or guided exercises.
- Quizzes: Add quiz questions to test comprehension and reinforce learning.
Publishing Your Course
Step 1:Review all modules and lessons for completeness and accuracy.
Step 2:Set your pricing (free, one-time, or recurring).
Step 3:Configure access settings and any enrollment requirements.
Step 4:Change the course status from "Draft" to "Published."
Step 5:Share the course URL or add it to your funnels and website.
Tip: Record course videos in short segments of 5-15 minutes each rather than long, hour-long lectures. Shorter lessons are easier for students to consume and result in higher completion rates.
