πŸ—‚οΈ How to Organize a Multi-Module Course on WithMe

When building a course on WithMe, it’s important to structure your content so members can navigate it easily without endlessly scrolling through lessons.

WithMe uses a two-tier course structure, which keeps courses clean and easy to follow.


πŸ“š Understanding the Course Structure

Courses on WithMe are organized like this:

Course β†’ Chapters β†’ Lessons

Think of it like this:

  • Course β†’ Your main program or product

  • Chapters β†’ Your modules or sections

  • Lessons β†’ The individual pieces of content inside each module

Example structure:

Course: The Complete Fitness Program

Chapter 1 β€” Foundations
β€’ Lesson: Welcome
β€’ Lesson: Setting Your Goals
β€’ Lesson: Warm-Up Routine

Chapter 2 β€” Strength Training
β€’ Lesson: Upper Body Workout
β€’ Lesson: Lower Body Workout

Chapter 3 β€” Recovery
β€’ Lesson: Stretching Routine
β€’ Lesson: Rest & Recovery Tips

This structure keeps your course organized and easy for members to follow.


⚠️ Important: WithMe Uses a Two-Tier System

WithMe currently supports two levels only:

Course
β†’ Chapters
β†’ Lessons

You cannot add another level like:

Course β†’ Modules β†’ Chapters β†’ Lessons

If your course contains many lessons and you'd like additional grouping, there is a simple workaround you can use.


🧩 Workaround for Advanced Course Structures

If you want one more level of organization (for example: Modules β†’ Chapters β†’ Lessons), you can structure your course using multiple courses linked together.

Here’s how:

Step 1 β€” Create Each Module as Its Own Course

Instead of building everything inside one course:

Create a separate course for each module.

Example:

Course 1 β€” Module 1: Foundations
Course 2 β€” Module 2: Strategy
Course 3 β€” Module 3: Implementation

Inside each of these courses, use the normal structure:

Chapter β†’ Lessons


Step 2 β€” Set the Module Courses to Free

Since you want members to access everything through the main course, make sure these module courses:

  • Have no price

  • Are set as Free

You are not selling these individually.


Step 3 β€” Create a Main "Master Course"

Next, create a main course that acts as the central hub for your program.

Example:

Course: The Complete Business Program

Inside this course, create chapters like:

Chapter 1 β€” Module 1: Foundations
Chapter 2 β€” Module 2: Strategy
Chapter 3 β€” Module 3: Implementation

Inside each chapter, place the link to the corresponding module course.


Step 4 β€” Link the Module Courses

Copy the sales page link of each module course and paste it into the lesson description inside the master course.

When members click the link, they’ll open the module course.

This creates a three-level structure like this:

Master Course
β†’ Module Courses
β†’ Chapters
β†’ Lessons


πŸ’‘ Important Pricing Rule

Only add pricing to the main course.

Do not add pricing to the module courses.

This ensures members:

  • Pay once for the main course

  • Automatically access all modules without extra charges


βœ… When to Use This Structure

Use this approach when your course:

  • Has many lessons

  • Needs multiple layers of organization

  • Includes large training programs

  • Contains multiple modules with sub-sections

For smaller courses, the standard structure (Course β†’ Chapters β†’ Lessons) is usually the simplest and best option.


πŸš€ Quick Summary

Standard structure:

Course
β†’ Chapters (Modules)
β†’ Lessons

Advanced structure workaround:

Master Course
β†’ Module Courses
β†’ Chapters
β†’ Lessons

This keeps your course organized while giving your members a smoother learning experience.
