I Had Zero Tech Skills But Still Launched a Drip-Fed Course Using GoHighLevel — Here’s Exactly How

 

I used it to launch a drip-fed course in 3 days — and I didn’t write a line of code, hire a VA, or cry into my coffee.

This guide is for you if:

• You have zero experience selling courses.
• You want to drip content (unlock modules over time).
• You want a “tech-light” way to do it all inside one tool.

Wait, what’s “drip feeding,” and why should I care? Drip-feeding is just a fancy term for unlocking course content slowly over time, instead of giving students everything at once.

• Day 1: Welcome + Module 1
• Day 3: Module 2
• Day 7: More content

It keeps people engaged, reduces overwhelm, and helps prevent course refunds (because people stay curious). And yes — you can build that inside GoHighLevel’s Membership area.

What You’ll Need Before You Start

Don’t worry — this list is short:

• A GoHighLevel account
• A few pre-recorded videos or lessons
• A rough outline of what you want to unlock over time
• One afternoon (or one very motivated evening)

Step-by-Step: Build Your Drip-Fed Course in GoHighLevel

Step 1: Create Your Membership Product

• Go to “Sites” → “Memberships” → “Products.”
• Click “Create Product”
• Name it something inspiring (or just “Test Course” if you’re a perfectionist like me).

This is your course container. It holds all your modules, videos, PDFs, etc.

Step 2: Add Your Categories and Lessons

Inside the product:

• Click “Add Category” (think: Module 1, Module 2).
• Inside each category, click “Add Lesson.”
• Upload your video or paste a YouTube link..
• Add a title and short description.

Don’t overthink this. One lesson = one video = one idea.

Step 3: Turn On Drip Scheduling

Here’s the magic button:

• Click on any lesson → Go to “Drip Settings..”
• Choose how many days after purchase you want it to unlock..

Example:

• Welcome Video = Day 0
• Module 1 = Day 1
• Module 2 = Day 3
• Module 3 = Day 7

Step 4: Customize the Look

• Add a thumbnail to each lesson.
• Upload your course logo.
• Use a clean, simple layout — your students will thank you.

It’s not Netflix, and that’s okay.

Step 5: Automate Access With a Workflow

This is where GoHighLevel shines.

You want to give users access the second they buy or opt-in. Here’s how:

1. Go to “Automation” → Create a new workflow
2. Trigger: “Order Form Submission” or “Tag Added”
3. Add action: “Grant Offer Access”
4. Choose your membership offer.

Real-Life Use Cases

Not sure what to drip-feed? Try these:

• 7-Day Email Marketing Bootcamp
• Free “mini-course” as a lead magnet
• Client onboarding videos
• “Mindset” modules to pair with a service you already sell
• Resource libraries that unlock over time

Courses aren’t just for gurus — they’re for anyone trying to package their brain and scale their time.

Mistakes I Made So You Don’t Have To

• Uploading 47 videos before testing one — test first, batch later.
• No access emails — send a “You’re in!” email immediately after purchase.
• No completion emails — when someone finishes a module, celebrate it (or upsell!).

You’re Not Behind — You’re Just Uninformed

I wasted 3 months looking for a tool I already had inside GoHighLevel. What unlocked everything was just starting messy. If you’ve got content or even just an idea, build your first lesson this week.
