Explains that content scheduling and drip content are not yet available on WithMe, and provides practical workarounds like manual publishing, categories, and separate products for phased access.

๐Ÿ“… Content Scheduling, Drip Content & Publishing Options

Wondering if you can schedule your content or drip it out over time? Great question โ€” and we've got good news ๐Ÿ™Œ

Here's how content publishing works on WithMe right now, along with practical ways to manage your content release effectively.


๐Ÿ”Ž How Content Publishing Works Today

WithMe does support scheduling, but with a slight difference from traditional drip systems.

When creating a post or lesson, you can schedule it to go live on a specific date and time.

However:

โŒ No join-based drip โ€” you cannot release content based on when a member joins (e.g., Day 1, Day 2, etc.)

โœ… Scheduled publishing โ€” you can set content to go live on a calendar date

โœ… Instant publishing โ€” you can still publish immediately if needed


๐Ÿ’ก Understanding the Difference

  • Scheduling (Available):
    "Release this lesson on 10th Jan at 10 AM"

  • Drip (Not yet available):
    "Release Lesson 1 on Day 1 after purchase, Lesson 2 on Day 2"


๐Ÿ’ก Workarounds You Can Use Right Now

While join-based drip isn't live yet, here are a couple of effective ways creators are managing content delivery:

1. Use Built-in Scheduling ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

You can schedule each lesson or post individually using the date-based scheduler in the lesson settings.

This works great for cohort-based programs or fixed timelines.

โœ… Dripping by chapter is natively supported. To release one full chapter at a time, set the scheduled day for every lesson inside that chapter to Day 0 โ€” this makes all lessons in the chapter unlock together. Then schedule each chapter at your chosen interval (e.g. Chapter 1 on Week 1, Chapter 2 on Week 2). This is the recommended approach for delivering, say, 12 chapters over 12 weeks.


2. Use Email Sequences for Drip-Like Delivery ๐Ÿ“ฉ (Advanced)

You can create a drip-style experience using email (included in your plan):

  • Create each lesson as a Digital Product

  • Keep them drafted

  • Create an email sequence

  • Set the trigger to a ticket-style course purchase

  • In each email, share the lesson link

When a member purchases the course:
๐Ÿ‘‰ The sequence is triggered
๐Ÿ‘‰ Lessons are delivered step-by-step via email

Important:
Make sure these lesson products are set to free, so members aren't charged per lesson.


๐Ÿš€ Is Join-Based Drip Coming?

Yes โ€” we understand that join-based drip content is important for certain business models, and it's already in the works.

We'll be rolling this out soon, so stay tuned! ๐Ÿ’ฌ
