How to Set up Your Channel

Your channel page is your very own shop window in the Steppit world so setting it up before you start releasing and selling your courses is key. It’s where you'll showcase all of your available courses and where all of your upcoming classes will appear. It’s also the homepage to everything about you, so you’ll want to make sure it’s on-brand.

You’ll need to fill in a few things for it to be complete, but don’t worry, we’ll take you through all the steps now. Plus, if you have Steppit Pro, don’t forget that your lovely AI assistant is on-hand to help you write any copy!

1. Before opening your channel, make sure that you’ve picked a channel name and handle that suits you via your Admin tab.
2. Navigate to the Channel tab. Once you’ve opened your channel, this is where the customization happens. There will be a panel on the left hand side to show you what you need to complete. 
3. Pick a color scheme by clicking on the little colored square to the bottom left of the profile picture. 
4. Upload a profile photo. 
5. Upload a banner image. This could be your brand, your logo, anything that says something about you. For the best fit, we recommend uploading a picture that is 1500px across and 500px tall.
6. Add some introduction text. This could include who you are, your accreditations, what you’re passionate about, what your students will learn and why you’ve chosen to build an online course. With Pro, your assistant can help you fill out this section.
7. Add your social links. You’ll see a little button beneath the introduction section that says “Edit Links”. This is where you can include things like your website (if you have one) and your social media handles. 

When you start creating classes on your courses, your next upcoming class will be featured on your channel page. To set up classes, check out our resource here. If you’re not seeing your course appear in your channel, follow these steps to make your course visible:

1. Go to Content
2. Click on your course — your course must be published in order for it to appear on your channel page. 
3. From your course builder page, click the small Share button on the right hand side.
4. You’ll see two things: Course Access and Visibility. Under Visibility, you can toggle if you want your course unlisted or visible to your channel. Click Show On Channel to make the course appear on your channel.

📢 TIP: Want to know what your page looks like to a learner? At the very top of the page, below your channel name, there is a little eye icon. Click on the link and it will show you exactly what your channel looks like. 

And that’s it, you’re all set up and ready to start selling your courses! Be sure to tag us on Instagram when you’ve launched your course. We love to see the courses our creators make.
