💧 How to Set Up Drip Content Using Email Sequences
Want to release lessons one by one instead of giving members access to everything at once? While WithMe doesn't have a built-in timed drip feature yet, there's a simple and flexible workaround using email sequences that gets the job done beautifully! 🎉
💡 Why Drip Content?
Drip content keeps your members engaged, builds anticipation, and prevents information overload. Instead of releasing everything on day one, you control exactly when each lesson unlocks — keeping people coming back for more. 🔥
💡 Pro Tip: This works beautifully for onboarding courses, structured programmes, and any content where sequence matters more than instant access.
📌 How It Works
You create your lessons as either private posts or unpublished digital products, then use email sequences to send each lesson's direct link on a timed schedule. Members receive fresh content in their inbox at whatever interval you choose — daily, weekly, or anything in between!
Step 1A — Create Your Lessons as Private Posts (Membership Method) 🔒
Use this method if your lessons live inside a membership product:
Head to your Memberships tab and open the product you want to add drip content to.
Create a new post for each lesson in your drip sequence.
Set each post to Private — it won't appear publicly. Members access it only via the direct link you send.
Copy the direct link for each private lesson — you'll need these for your email sequence!
Step 1B — Create Your Lessons as Unpublished Products (Digital Product Method) 📦
Use this method if each lesson is a standalone digital product:
Go to Memberships in your dashboard and create a new digital product for each lesson (e.g. "Module 1 — Getting Started").
Upload your content — videos, PDFs, audio, whatever you love! 🎬
Leave the product toggled to Unpublished — it won't appear in your hub, but anyone with the direct link can access it.
Copy the private product URL for each lesson — you'll need these for your email sequence!
⚠️ Note: Since lessons live behind private links, anyone with the URL can view them — so don't share those links publicly.
📧 Step 2 — Create Your Email Sequence
Now set up the timed emails that deliver each lesson link to your members:
Head to Email Marketing in your WithMe dashboard.
Click Create Sequence (or open an existing one).
Give your sequence a name — something like "Course Drip — Week by Week" 📝
Add one email per lesson, setting a delay between each (e.g. Day 0, Day 7, Day 14).
In each email, paste in the direct link to that lesson.
Activate the sequence and let it run! 💪
