Optimizing Your Online Course Site With Custom Pages Video Lecture | Online Course Creation: Build your Course from Scratch - Professional Skills

hey my name is Sid from think--if ik and
today I want to talk to you about
additional custom pages now previously
you had an external website and then you
had your course site on thing a fake
now with the new feature you don't even
need an external website you can put all
those additional pages on your thinking
excite by using this feature the first
thing I like to do always is to create
an about page if I'm starting a new
website and the reason is a lot of
people who visit your site actually one
of the first learn about you as a person
before they have a look at your courses
or before they decide to buy something
for you and it's just if you think about
it from the customers point of view you
don't want to be going to a website
without knowing who's behind that site
you want to kind of understand what that
where that person is coming from why
they've created the site so that you can
trust them before handing them some
money you as a course creator as the
owner of the site needs to build that
trust with the customer so creating an
about page and telling your story is an
important thing now you hear a couple
points that you can put into your about
page maybe add some pictures about
yourself talk about your life your
personal story talk about the journey
that has brought you to where you are
today and why you're creating online
courses just to make it a little bit
more personable and so that your
customers can actually identify with you
as another human being
another great thing you can do with
additional pages is to create a lead
magnet page now we often tell people I
think if ik that before they create the
courses they should build an email list
this allows you as a course creator to
have an audience already for when you
launch your new course and so you have
people who are willing to already pay
you when you want something new the best
way to do this is to collect emails
using a lead magnet so this could be
some sort of free content you know a PDF
a checklist and ebook a free video
course or even an email series now with
think--if ik historically you can create
free video courses with the new
additional pages feature you can start
creating a whole bunch of other landing
pages that are not correlated and then
you can embed an opt-in form in those
landing pages so if you're using
MailChimp or convertkit as your email
service provider or any other email
service provider you can take a form
from the from your MailChimp site and
then drop it into your think of a custom
page and people can visit that page read
what the lead magnet is about and then
enter the email to get the lead magnet
they get some free content from you they
learn from you they sort of build some
more trust with you before they go on to
buy a premium course from you the next
thing you can do is to create an FAQ
page if you notice a lot of students
coming and asking the same questions
over and over again and you don't want
have to keep repeating your answers to
them all you have to do is identify the
most commonly asked questions and put it
together in this one page and so now
every you know who visits your site
doesn't have to actually email you each
time they have a question they can look
at this one page find the answer and
then go about the way
another thing you can add to your
thinking excite is a testimonials page
now unthink effect your online courses
have a section where your students can
add a review about that course but let's
say you're a coach a consultant you've
been doing work outside of online
courses you probably have collected some
good feedback from these people and you
may want to add that as social proof to
your course site you can do this by
creating a new page called testimonials
and compiled you know maybe your video
testimonials or text testimonials from
people into that one page you can also
advertise your services
so again if you're a coach consultant
freelancer you can actually create a
section on your thing Kubik site that
talks about these services you can also
build out a resources list using custom
pages so let's say you have a bunch of
blog posts that you really want your
students to read you can put those all
together collected into one list put it
on a custom page so that your students
can go to that one page and look at them
all you can also add a contact page
because even if people don't actually
contact you they want to know that you
can be contacted and that you're an
actual person with a phone and an
address and an email address so put all
that information down in one page and
finally if you have any other products
of assets that you'd want to advertise
and you're thinking excite you can
create a page for that so for example
one of our Coast graders on think if ik
as a course on drone photography and now
what he's done is created swag like you
know maybe a sweatshirt he has a t-shirt
and a cap with his logo on it and he now
advertises that on a custom page on
think effects so people can go check out
his other products and then buy them you
can create new custom pages on think--if
ik and you can create a about page lead
magnet page FAQ page testimonials
services resources page contact page are
just about any other kind of product
related or custom page that you want to
build so go ahead check it out in the
product it's free on all plants and if
you don't have a drink of excite you can
create one in just a few seconds for
free all the links for more resources
