Types of courses on OnlineCourseHost.com
Now that you have purchased a plan, it's time to start creating your courses. OnlineCourseHost.com offers different course types to match your teaching style and content format. Whether you're sharing video lessons, timed content, or downloadable materials, the platform gives you the flexibility to build a course that meets your needs.

On OnlineCourseHost.com, you can create four courses, each designed to align with your target audience and specific goals.

Standard Premium Course
This is a publicly visible course available for purchase on your website. Anyone can buy and enroll. Unless you create a free coupon or manually enroll students, access to the course requires payment.
Additionally, you have the option to mark certain lessons as free, offering students a preview or free content before they commit. Kindly refer to this link for more information on how to make a lesson free in your premium course.
Private Course
This type of course is designed for a specific group of individuals or an organization. When a course is set to Private, only the people you invite will be able to access it. Although the course remains visible on your website, enrollment is strictly controlled by you.
You can enroll students manually through the Manage Students screen or share an activation link, essentially a free coupon that you can customize, limit, or deactivate at any time.
Private courses are perfect for exclusive training, corporate programs, or invite-only learning experiences!
Hidden Course
Hidden courses are very similar to private courses, with one key difference: they are not publicly visible on your website. Only students who are already logged in and have been manually enrolled by you can see and access these courses.
Hidden courses are ideal for exclusive content, internal training, or special programs meant only for selected students, completely away from public view.
Free Course
Free courses are a powerful tool to grow your email list and attract potential customers. They can serve as a preview of your premium offerings, for example, an introductory course that showcases your teaching style and content quality.
Since students must sign up to access free courses, you can easily nurture and convert them into paying customers over time. Free courses are an excellent way to build trust, demonstrate value, and create a strong pipeline of future enrollments.
Please note that for hidden and private courses, you do not have to set a price for the course. When you hide the course or make it private, you will be able to publish the course without setting a price.
Also, course coupon codes do not work for hidden courses because you can only redeem a coupon code on a product that is visible to everyone.
