The short answer

To create and sell an online course in Oceanic Funnels OS, go to Sites → Memberships, create a product (your course), add categories (modules) and lessons with video, text and downloads, and set drip schedules if you want lessons to unlock over time. Then create an offer with a one-time or subscription price, connect it to a checkout in a funnel, and buyers get access automatically in your branded membership portal. Communities can be added for student discussion.

Plan your course

  • One clear outcome: what students can do by the end.
  • Modules for each stage of the journey.
  • Short lessons, 5 to 15 minutes each, with a task or download.

Build it

  1. Go to Sites → Memberships and open Products. Create a new product from a template, with a name, thumbnail and description.
  2. Add categories (modules) and drag them into order.
  3. Add lessons with video, text and files.
  4. Set each lesson's visibility, drip schedule, comments and SEO details.
  5. Brand the membership portal with your logo, colours and domain.

Price and sell it

  1. Under Offers, create an offer containing one or more products.
  2. Choose a one-time price or a subscription, with currency and billing cycle.
  3. Connect the offer to an order form in a sales funnel, with an optional order bump.
  4. Buyers get access automatically, and you can manage, adjust or revoke access under Members.
