Selling Video & Courses

Online video salesA shared link simply will not play

Sell your courses on your own site with memberships. The playback link expires in five minutes and works only for the member who asked for it.

Included in this solution

Playback links that cannot be shared

Every playback request mints a link that is specific to that member and expires in five minutes. A link copied into a group chat will not play, and when a membership ends access closes the same day. This is not DRM — screen recording cannot be prevented — but it ends link sharing completely.

Lesson ordering and free previews

Drag your lessons into order. The lesson list stays visible to everyone, because nobody buys a course whose contents they cannot see; only the lessons you mark as a free preview will play. Leaving the first real lesson open is the single most effective piece of marketing you have.

Membership tiers with automatic renewal

Define tiers with a monthly and/or yearly price and lock each course to a tier. Customers subscribe by card and renewals are collected automatically. Raise the price later and existing members keep the price they agreed to.

Members-only pages

Mark any page as members-only in the Page Editor. A non-member sees the tier cards and a subscribe button instead of the content — and because the content is never sent, it is not in the page source either.

Do not lose a member to a failed payment

If the card fails, access closes and the customer receives graduated reminders to update it. Fix the card and access reopens by itself; after three attempts the membership ends. The same reminder is never sent twice — a repeating automated message cancels more subscriptions than the failure itself.

Sell the workbook alongside the course

The real question in course selling: what if my video gets shared?

Put the video in a cloud folder and share the link, and the moment that link lands in a WhatsApp group your course is free.

FAQ

Common questions about selling video online

Before you publish your first course

No system can prevent screen recording, and anyone promising otherwise is misleading you. What is prevented is link sharing: the playback link expires after five minutes and only works for the member who requested it, so copying a link into a group chat achieves nothing. In practice the overwhelming majority of leakage comes from link sharing, not screen recording.

Selling video courses online: running education on your own platform

How selling an online course actually works

Three parts: content, access control and payment. Access control decides who may watch which lesson.

How much video protection is genuinely possible?

The honest answer: screen recording cannot be stopped. Anyone claiming otherwise is marketing. The goal is to make copying inconvenient.

Your own site or a course marketplace?

A course marketplace brings discovery traffic; in exchange it takes commission and keeps the customer relationship.

Membership or one-off sale?

For a finished course watched once, a one-off sale is right. If the content keeps growing, a membership suits better.

Why a free preview increases sales

A buyer decides on two things: the subject and the teacher. The second is only judged by watching — hiding the lesson list is not protection, it is friction.

Sell the notes and materials too

Selling workbooks, templates and lesson notes alongside the course lifts the basket and makes its value tangible.
