So, grab your favorite beverage, get comfy, and let's get started.

Why Choose Wix for Your Online Course?

You might be wondering, "Why Wix?" Well, Wix offers a seamless way to convert your skills and knowledge into digital gold. It's user-friendly, doesn't require a PhD in web design, and you can keep everything in one cozy spot—wooing customers from browsing to buying just a click away.

Step-by-Step Guide to Create a Course on Wix

Step 1: Get Your Wix On

First things first, pop over to Wix.com if you haven't already and set up your site. If you’re new to Wix, no worries. We have some great resources at NewForm to get you up to speed.

Step 2: Add the Wix Online Programs Integration

1. Navigate to Add Apps: On the left side of your Wix dashboard, click on "Add Apps". This hub is brimming with features to play with.

2. Search for Wix Online Programs: Type in "Wix Online Programs" or check out the "Wix Business Solutions". It’s like opening the treasure chest of online selling.

3. Add to Site: Click on it and boom! Now it's in your corner, ready to roll.

Step 3: Set Up Your Course Page

Follow these simple steps:

- Create a New Page: Or, choose to make an anchor page if you’re reusing some content.

- Rename It: Use something catchy! If it's a cooking course, call it something like “Culinary 101” or “Chef’s Corner”.

- Organize Your Page: Rearrange that navigation bar, shift those socials, and make your course page shine like the star it is.

Step 4: Crafting Your Course Details

- Categories: Hop into your online program section on the dashboard. Create categories. For example, have a “Beginner’s Guide to Vegetarian Cooking” category.

- Course Type: Is it a fitness challenge? A culinary chronicle? Select and personalize accordingly.

- Mode: Self-paced or scheduled? Each has its vibe. We love a good self-paced course to let learners dance to the beat of their drum, but sometimes, a scheduled path keeps that momentum hot!

- Program Content: Add images, videos, and quizzes. Let's face it, nobody wants to read walls of text forever. Sprinkle in other media to keep it fun.

Step 5: Pricing and Participation

A fish can’t climb a tree, right? Similarly, use just the right pricing strategy:

- Public or Private Access: Choose whether anyone can see it or if you want to keep a sense of exclusivity.

- Pricing Plans and Limits: Opt for a one-time payment, subscriptions, or free pass! Set a limit on participants if you’re chasing exclusivity.

- Rewards and Achievements: People love challenges. Add badges for an extra oomph.

Step 6: Let’s Publish!

Hit that publish button and prepare to bask in the glory of your freshly minted course. You did it! A quick preview gives you a site experience before you let the world in.
