How to Create Your Course in Wajooba – Part 2: Pricing & Enrollment

Overview

You're doing amazing! This guide will walk you through the final steps to launch your course, from setting up your pricing to enrolling your first students with ease. Get ready to empower your learners and watch your knowledge business thrive!

Prerequisites

• You should have already created and structured your course content, including sections, lessons, and media, as covered in 'Part 1: Building Your Course Structure'.

Steps

Step 1: Choose Your Course Pricing Mode

First things first, let's decide how your wonderful course will be sold! You have two fantastic options: 'Standalone' or 'Membership Gated'. If you choose 'Standalone', your course will have its own individual price. If you opt for 'Membership Gated', your course will be accessible only to those who purchase a specific membership plan. If you go with Membership Gated, you'll simply select the membership group and plan you want to attach. There's also an optional Membership Page you can select. Once you've made your choice, don't forget to save the Pricing Mode!

Step 2: Manually Enroll Your First Attendees

Now, let's get your first students into your course! You can add members directly from the 'Attendees' tab in your course dashboard. Click on 'Add Attendee', and you'll see two clear choices: either add someone already in your contact list, or click 'Add New Attendee' to fill in their details from scratch. Super simple! Once they're added, you'll see their details pop up in your attendee table. You're doing great!

Step 3: Preview Your Course Through a Member's Eyes

It's always a good idea to see things from your member's perspective! To preview their experience, just click the 'eye' icon next to an attendee. This will take you to their member profile, where you'll see your course beautifully listed. Click into the course, and you'll see how your lessons and media are presented, just as your students will. This is a fantastic way to ensure everything looks perfect!

Step 4: Understand Activity Completion and Resubmission

As you're previewing, notice how members will interact with your content. They can upload homework or mark activities as complete right from the course section. Once an activity is done, they'll simply hit 'Publish' or 'Finish'. You'll see the course marked as successfully completed! And if you've enabled the 'Repeat Activity' option, they can even resubmit their work. This flexibility is awesome for learning!

Step 5: Set Up Public Enrollment for Easy Access

Beyond manual enrollment, your members can also easily check out for your course directly from the public view! This means they can discover your course on your public-facing pages and sign up all on their own. We'll explore this seamless public enrollment path next, ensuring your course is easily accessible to everyone ready to learn from you! ✨

Launch Your Course with AI (Wajooba MCP) – Part 2

Once your course structure is ready, use these prompts in Claude or Grok Bot to set up pricing and open your course to students.

Step	What You Say	Tools Called	How It Works
1. Membership Gated pricing	"Set Introduction to Digital Marketing to Membership Gated and attach my Gold membership plan"	list_courses → set_course_pricing	Sets the pricing mode and attaches the membership group and plan, so only members on that plan can access the course.
1. Free course	"Make Introduction to Digital Marketing free"	list_courses → set_course_pricing	Sets the payment type to Free.
1. Donation-based course	"Make Introduction to Digital Marketing a donation-based course"	list_courses → set_course_pricing	Sets the payment type to Donation and links it to your donation.
1. Show the price on the sales page	"Update the pricing section of the sales page to show the price and list what's included"	get_course_template → save_course_template	Updates the pricing block on the sales page with the price text and course features.
4. Allow resubmissions	"Let students repeat the end-of-week quizzes"	n/a	Not available through MCP. Turn on Repeat Activity in the lesson settings.
5. Public enrollment	"Show Introduction to Digital Marketing on my website so students can enroll themselves"	list_courses → update_course → get_course	Makes the course visible on your public website, where students can find it and check out on their own.
5. Promote the course	"Create an email campaign announcing Introduction to Digital Marketing and send it to [email protected]"	create_campaign → get_campaign → send_campaign	Creates a launch email and sends it after you confirm.

Do these in the Courses module: setting a Standalone price amount, adding attendees from the Attendees tab, previewing the course as a member with the eye icon, and turning on Repeat Activity.

Tips & Best Practices

• Always test the enrollment process yourself from the public view to ensure a smooth experience for your members.
• Consider offering both Standalone and Membership Gated options if your platform allows, to cater to different customer preferences and expand your reach.
• Encourage your members to actively engage by highlighting the benefits of completing activities and offering clear, supportive instructions.
• Use the preview function frequently to ensure your course looks and functions perfectly for your students – their success is your success!

Troubleshooting

If your course isn't appearing for members, first double-check that you've correctly assigned the course to them or that their membership plan includes access. Also, ensure the course itself is set to 'Published' and not accidentally still in 'Draft' mode! If members are having trouble finding the 'Mark Complete' button, revisit your lesson content to make sure it's clearly visible and easy to click. A quick screenshot in your course introduction might be a friendly reminder!

What's Next

Fantastic work! Now that your course is fully set up, it's time to promote it and welcome your first students! Start by crafting compelling marketing messages, creating exciting launch content, and sharing your amazing new offering with your audience. Consider setting up an automated onboarding email sequence for new students to guide them through their learning journey!
