Build an online golf course once. Sell it forever.
Build long-form, structured courses, sell access to your video library, and run paid communities in group chats, all separate from your 1:1 lessons. Paid or free, drip-released, bundled into subscriptions, with a per-sale payouts dashboard. All inside Skillest.
A course builder that lives next to your coaching.
Create, edit and organize structured courses without leaving the software you already run your business on. Publish when you're ready, and unpublish to take something down whenever you need to.
- Create, edit and reorder.Structure your knowledge into lessons and modules in one place.
- Published and unpublished tabs.Manage your whole catalog by status, not by hunting.
- Intro video and thumbnail.Add a preview video and a thumbnail that show in the marketplace.
- Set your price.Charge what each course is worth, or offer it free.
- Separate from 1:1 lessons.Long-form content sits alongside your lessons, not tangled into them.
A free course is your best lead funnel.
Offer a course free and gate access behind an email opt-in. Every student who wants in hands you a contact you can nurture into paid coaching. The same builder that sells your knowledge also fills your pipeline.
- Free or paid, same builder.Flip a course to free without rebuilding it.
- Email opt-in to access.Free courses can require an email before students get in.
- Capture leads, not just sales.Every opt-in is a contact for your paid offers.
- Top of the funnel.Free content earns trust, then converts to 1:1 and subscriptions.
- No extra tool.The lead magnet and the coaching live in one product.
Release content over days, not all at once.
A drip release schedule paces students through the material so they actually finish. Lessons unlock on the days you set, keeping students engaged across weeks instead of bingeing day one and dropping off.
- Schedule unlocks by day.Decide when each part of the course becomes available.
- Keep students engaged.A steady cadence beats a one-time content dump.
- Built for programs.Run a 6-week cohort as easily as a self-paced course.
- Set once, runs itself.The schedule releases content for every new buyer automatically.
- Self-paced when you want.Skip the drip and unlock everything immediately if that fits.
Bundle courses into memberships. Run sales when you want.
Include a course free inside specific subscription plans to make membership a no-brainer. Run immediate or scheduled promotions with an expiry, and let students buy on whatever device they have.
- Free for subscribers.Include a course in chosen plans so members get it at no extra charge.
- Scheduled promotions.Launch a sale now or set a start date, with an expiry that ends it automatically.
- Buy on any device.Students purchase on the web or right inside the app.
- Your price, your call.Set the price that matches your market.
- Catalog-wide or per course.Discount everything for a launch, or just one course.
Because of Skillest, I was able to move to the mountains of Idaho and live in my dream location — without giving up my passion for coaching. I now teach golfers all over the world from one of the most remote places in America. That kind of freedom is priceless.
Alex Moore · Skillest coachA room for buyers. A room for leads. Not the same room.
Every course can spin up two separate group chats: one for paying buyers and one for free-lead opt-ins. Paying students get a focused community, and your free leads get nurtured in a space built for converting them.
- Buyer group chat.A dedicated community for everyone who bought the course.
- Free-lead group chat.A separate room for free opt-ins you're warming toward paid.
- Right message, right audience.Talk to buyers and leads differently because they are different.
- Community sells.An active room keeps buyers engaged and pulls leads up the funnel.
- Built into messaging.Course chats live in the same inbox as the rest of your coaching.
Courses aren't the only thing you can sell.
Every video in your library can be public, private or subscriber-only, so the library itself becomes a perk worth paying for. Add group chats with polls and you can run a paid community around your coaching, not just a single course.
- Subscriber-only videos.Set any video to public, private or subscriber-only and decide exactly who gets in.
- The library as a membership perk.A subscriber-only library gives a subscription plan another reason to convert.
- Buyer and lead group chats.Every course already spins up its own buyer and lead community, no extra setup.
- Polls and group chats.Run group chats with live polls to build community around your coaching.
Every sale, every payout, in a dashboard you control.
A Transactions tab shows every sale: the student, the date, your earnings, any promo applied, and whether it came from mobile or web. A Payouts tab shows what's eligible versus already paid, with a Request payout button when you want your money.
- Per-sale transactions.Student, date, your earnings and any promo, line by line.
- Mobile vs web at a glance.See whether each sale came through the app or the web.
- Eligible vs total paid.Know exactly what you can withdraw and what's already landed.
- Request payout button.Pull your earnings when you want them, not on someone else's schedule.
- Earnings net of fees.See your share after the platform fee on every transaction.
