Step 2: Create Your Crash Course Listings

  1. Log In: Access your Ordefy Seller Dashboard.
  2. Add New Product: Click on “Add New Product” to create a listing for your crash course.
  3. Product Details:
    • Course Title: Make sure the course title is clear, concise, and highlights the core benefit or topic of your course. For example:
      • “Master Digital Marketing in 7 Days”
      • “Crash Course in Web Development: Learn to Code in 5 Days”
      • “How to Start a Business in 30 Days: A Step-by-Step Crash Course”
      • “Public Speaking Mastery in 5 Days”
    • Course Description: Provide a comprehensive description of the course. Include the following key points:
      • What the course covers: Describe the main topics or skills that students will learn.
      • Duration: Mention how long the course is and what the pace of learning will be.
      • Target audience: Specify who the course is for (e.g., beginners, professionals, entrepreneurs).
      • Learning outcomes: Explain what learners will be able to do after completing the course.
      • Example: “This crash course is designed for busy professionals who want to master digital marketing in just 7 days.

  4. Course Images/Preview:
    • Upload high-quality images related to the course content, such as screenshots of your course material or an image of the instructor.
    • If your course includes video lessons, consider creating a course trailer video that introduces the key topics and learning objectives. This can help potential students get excited about the course.
  5. Price:
    • Price your course based on its content and duration. A crash course is usually priced more affordably than a full-fledged course but should reflect the value it provides.
      • Example pricing:
        • Single Crash Course: ₹499 – ₹2,499 depending on complexity and content.
        • Course Bundle: ₹2,999 – ₹4,999 (for multiple related crash courses or a package deal).

    • Technology & Programming
    • Personal Development
    • Creative Skills

    • Design
  2. Tags: Add specific tags related to the course topic so that potential students can easily find your course. Examples:
    • Digital Marketing
    • Web Development
    • Business Strategies
    • SEO
    • Public Speaking
    • Freelancing
    • Time Management
    • Python Programming

Step 4: Set Up Digital Delivery and Access

  1. Instant Digital Delivery: Since crash courses are digital products, make sure students can access them immediately after purchasing. Most platforms like Ordefy allow automatic digital delivery of content, such as videos, eBooks, PDFs, or other resources.
    • Upload the course material (video lessons, slides, or worksheets) as ZIP files or individual downloadable files.
    • Ensure that learners get a thank you email or access instructions immediately after purchase, providing them with a direct link to access the course.
  2. Course Platform Integration: If the course includes video lessons, it may be a good idea to integrate it with platforms like Teachable, Udemy, or even YouTube for private playlists, and then link to the course from Ordefy. This helps in delivering seamless content.

Step 5: Promote Your Crash Courses

  1. Discounts and Limited-Time Offers:
    • Offer early-bird discounts, flash sales, or limited-time promotions to increase urgency.
    • Provide bundle discounts (e.g., “Get 3 courses for the price of 2”) to attract customers looking to learn multiple skills.
  2. Social Media Marketing:
    • Use Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to share information about your crash courses. Highlight key benefits, learning outcomes, and testimonials.
    • Create engaging posts such as course teasers, behind-the-scenes clips, or student success stories.
    • Use hashtags like #LearnFast, #CrashCourse, #OnlineLearning, and #UpSkill to help potential students discover your course.
  3. Email Marketing:
    • Build an email list of potential learners and send them regular updates, free tips, or course-related information.
    • Offer a discount code or a free mini-course as an incentive for signing up.
  4. Affiliate Marketing:
    • Partner with influencers or bloggers in your niche who can promote your crash courses to their followers. Offer them a commission or referral fee for every sale they generate.
  5. Content Marketing:
    • Write blog posts or create YouTube videos related to your crash course content. For example, if you are teaching digital marketing, you could write a post about “Top 5 Digital Marketing Skills to Master in 2025” and include a call-to-action for your course.
    • Offer free webinars or live sessions as an introduction to your crash course to engage potential customers.

Step 6: Customer Support and Feedback

  1. Provide Ongoing Support: Offer email support or Q&A forums for students who need help or clarification on course material. This adds value and shows you care about your students’ success.
  2. Encourage Reviews and Testimonials: After students complete your crash course, ask them for a review or testimonial. Positive feedback can help build credibility and attract new students.
  3. Course Updates: Continuously update your crash course based on feedback and new trends in the industry. Let your learners know when the course is updated to keep them engaged and excited.

Step 7: Monitor Sales and Optimize

  1. Track Performance: Use Ordefy’s analytics tools to monitor the performance of your crash courses. Track metrics such as views, clicks, and conversions to understand how well your listings are performing.
