Before You Start

What You Need

A GoHighLevel account. The 14-day free trial works perfectly. You get full access to all features during the trial — no restrictions on course functionality.

A course outline. You need to know your modules, lessons, and the flow of your content before you start building. If you have not done this yet, complete Plan Your Course first. Building without an outline leads to disorganized content and rework.

Your content ready to upload. Video files (MP4 format), text lessons, PDFs, worksheets, and any downloadable resources. GHL hosts your videos directly — no need for Vimeo, Wistia, or YouTube. Just have the files on your computer ready to upload.

A rough idea of your pricing. You will set up payment products in GHL, so knowing what you are charging (and whether you will offer payment plans) speeds up the process. If you are unsure, Price Your Course walks you through it.

What You Do Not Need

• Prior GoHighLevel experience — this course assumes you are starting from zero
• A custom domain — use GHL’s default subdomain initially and connect your own domain later
• A separate video hosting service — GHL handles video hosting natively
• Any paid tools beyond GHL itself — everything covered here uses built-in features

Helpful Prerequisites
