Organizing Modules and Lessons

Reordering Without the Headache

Look for the handle on the left side of each module and lesson name. Click it, hold, and drag to your new position. Drop it where you want it.

You can move entire modules up or down. You can grab individual lessons and drag them into different modules. Restructuring takes seconds instead of deleting and recreating.

A Structure That Works for Most Courses

If you are staring at a blank course shell, start with this framework:

Welcome Module — Short introduction. What students will learn. Time commitment. Where to get help.

Core Modules — Your main teaching content. One topic per module. This is where the learning happens.

Bonus Module — Templates, worksheets, quick-reference guides, anything that supplements the core material.

Next Steps Module — Where students go after completing the course. Advanced training, community, or a call booking page.

How Many Lessons Per Module?

Aim for 5-7 lessons per module. Fewer than 3 feels incomplete. More than 10 overwhelms students before they start.

If a module hits 12 or more lessons, split it into two related modules. Students respond better to clicking through smaller, focused sections than scrolling through massive lists.

Organizing Supplementary Content

Create a “Resources” or “Downloads” module at the end. Add each template, cheat sheet, or swipe file as its own lesson with a single download attached. Students know exactly where to find materials. You avoid “where was that file again?” support requests.

The Draft Trick for Bonuses

GHL has three visibility states: Published, Draft, and Locked. Students only see Published content.

Publish all your core modules on launch day. Keep bonus modules in Draft while you finish them. When ready, switch to Published. Existing students see new material appear — a pleasant surprise that adds value without disrupting their progress.

Locked content works differently. Students see the module title and lesson names but cannot access the content until they meet conditions you set. Use Locked for content that unlocks after completing earlier modules, not for work-in-progress material.
