Sell a course
Sell lessons buyers read in order, with an AI that coaches them on each one, or on their own.
A course is lessons in order, with a checkmark on each one a buyer finishes. Start in Your store → Products → New product → Course. Pick Custom AI instead if you want an AI that coaches on each lesson.
Set it up
- 01
Create the product
Open your store, go to Products, click New product, and pick Course. Or right-click a document, choose Sell this, then New course.
- 02
Name and price it
On the Offer step, set the Title, Tagline, and Price in USD. Use 0 for free.
- 03
Add the lessons
On the Lessons step, click Add. Group lessons with Add section. Drag to reorder. Inside a lesson, the ‹ › arrows at the top open the previous or next lesson.
- 04
Write the welcome page
Fill in the Welcome page card at the top. Buyers see it first.
- 05
Publish
Fill in the Page step, then finish the checklist on Publish.
With an AI or on its own
Switch any time with Product type on the Offer step.
| Product type | Chat | Steps | Lesson access to start |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custom AI | Yes. The AI knows which lesson is open. | Offer, Knowledge, Configure, Page, Publish | Buyers can read |
| Course | No | Offer, Lessons, Page, Publish | Buyers can read, copy, and download |
The AI version is the better pick when you would happily answer buyer questions yourself. It can explain the open lesson, run the exercise, and check their work.
Add a lesson video
Open a lesson and click Embed video, then paste a YouTube, Loom, Tella, Descript, Vimeo, or Wistia link. To use a file instead, click Upload video. If the course has an AI, paste the transcript under the video so the AI can use it.
Add audio to a lesson
Open a lesson and click Upload audio under the title. Or type /audio anywhere in the lesson,
or drag an audio file in. MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, OGG, and FLAC work. It shows up as a player with the
file name as its title.
- Click play. Drag across the bars to skip around.
- Click 1x to change the speed: 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, or 2x.
- Right-click the player to Download or Delete it.
- Buyers get the same player in the lesson, on the web and in the Eden iPhone and Android apps.
- It works in any Eden document, not only lessons. Your plan's upload limit sets the biggest file.
What your buyer sees
- Your welcome page first.
- Sections and lessons on the left, with a checkmark on each finished one.
- A lesson checks off when they open it. Done at the top unticks it.
- On a Custom AI course, the chat sits beside the lesson.
- A Notebook for their own notes, kept with the product.
- The same course on the Eden iPhone and Android apps.
Good to know
- Building products starts on the $5 Discover plan (on Free you can look around the store). Publishing needs Starter, Pro, or Max.
- The Publish checklist needs a name, a price, a page description, a support email, and Stripe for a paid product. A course with no AI also needs at least one lesson.
- Publishing freezes a copy. Buyers get later edits only when you click Publish update.
- Put templates and checklists in Resources. They don't count toward progress.
- For dated runs with live calls, see Run a cohort. To charge monthly, see Sell a membership.
- Eden chat, The Product Builder, and the Eden MCP build courses with an AI by default. Say "no AI" to get a plain course.
Run a cohort
Sell a course in dated runs, or a one-time workshop, with seats, live sessions, and lessons that open on a schedule.
Sell a digital download
