How to create an online course

To create an online course, add a Course link to your Linktree and build your lessons in the course builder. You can offer a free mini-course or sell premium content, without extra tools or a separate platform. The course builder is powered by Kajabi and works right inside your Linktree Admin.

Create your course

1. From My Linktree, select Edit. In the Links tab, select + Add.
2. Search for Course and select it from the results.
3. Select Create course.
4. In the Kajabi pop-up, select Create my course.
5. Enter a Title and a short description of your course, then select Next.
   • We use AI to draft a course outline from your title and description, so make them clear and descriptive.
6. Choose your brand colors and upload an image or logo if you want, then select Next.

The course builder opens so you can start adding content.

Build your course content

Your course starts with an auto-generated outline of modules and lessons. Modules give your course its structure, and lessons hold your content. Customize them before you publish.

1. From My Linktree, select Edit. In the Links tab, select your Course link and open your course.
2. Review the modules and lessons in your outline. Use the icons next to each one to manage it:
   • Select Edit () to change it.
   • Select Preview () to review it.
   • Select Delete () to remove it.
3. Select Edit () next to a module to add a Description and a cover image, then select Save module.
4. Select Edit () next to a lesson to add your content. You can format text, add links and images, and add media like videos, audio, or downloads.
5. Select Add content to add more modules or lessons.
6. Change each lesson's status from Draft to Published when you're ready to go live.
   • A lesson only goes live when its module is also published.
7. Select X in the top corner to close the course builder.

Prepare your course videos

For the best viewing experience on every device:

• Use a 16:9 aspect ratio.
• Upload horizontal (landscape) videos.
• Keep each video file under 4GB.

Set your course price

You can offer your course for free or sell it:

• Free course: A good way to grow your audience. No payment setup is needed.
• Paid course: Sell your course from your Linktree, with payments through Stripe. Paid courses are available on Pro and Premium plans.

To sell your course:

1. From My Linktree, select Edit. In the Links tab, select your Course link.
2. Select Set price.
3. Choose your currency and enter a price between $1 and $10,000 USD, or the equivalent in your currency.

Collect student information

Choose what details students share when they sign up, and set how they can reach you.

1. From My Linktree, select Edit. In the Links tab, select your Course link.
2. Find Customer Settings in the Interaction section and select the fields you want to collect.
   • Name and Email are always required.
3. Select + Add field to collect more details, like a job title or topic preferences.
4. Change your Support email if you want. Students use it to ask you questions about your course, and it's your Linktree account email by default. Select Edit and enter a new address.
5. Turn on Custom T&Cs if you want to link your own terms. They appear before someone accesses your course.
6. Turn on Mailing list opt-in if you want to ask visitors to join your mailing list when they submit the form.
   • You need an email or phone field to collect mailing list sign-ups.
7. Select Done.

You can see all your student details in the Audience tab, along with sign-ups from tools like Subscribe and contact forms.
