Getting your course or workshop listed on Maven's discovery site

What's next after you publish your landing pages?

Written by Chelsea Wilson

Summary

  • Your course will be reviewed for listing on Maven's marketplace, when you get 100 leads on your interest list or 2 paid enrollments, and pass a quality review from the Maven team.

  • Your workshop will be reviewed for listing on Maven's marketing once you publish it.

  • When you publish your landing pages, you can share the course URL to prospective students to enroll.

  • After publishing your landing pages, announce your course or workshop. You do not need to wait to get listed on Maven.com to announce what you're offering!

Steps to have your course reviewed for listing on Maven.com

Being listed on the Maven Marketplace is an exciting milestone to reach. Maven.com is the biggest marketplace for live learning on the internet, and it surfaces top courses to thousands of students browsing each day.

  1. Show traction for your course by getting 100 leads on your interest list or 2 paid enrollments. To get leads on your waitlist, launch your course interest survey, run a Lightning Lesson, or launch a lead magnet. Anyone who signs up for either a survey, Lightning Lesson, or lead magnet is also added to your course waitlist.

  2. Publish your course landing page. Once your course landing page is published, the URL is live and you can share it with prospective students. You do not have to wait to get listed on Maven.com to start raising awareness for your course.

    1. All parts of your course landing page must be completed for your course to be eligible to be listed. We review every course that is listed on Maven. See our section below on course quality to understand what we review.

  3. Open your cohort for enrollment in Settings. Your cohort needs to be open for enrollment to be listed on Maven.com.

When you've completed these steps, hooray! The Maven team will automatically review your course landing page - you do not need to reach out to us to request this review.

Course quality review

Before your course is listed on Maven, we'll do a quality review of your landing page. We are not your subject matter experts - you are the expert there! As such, we will not provide a curriculum review. Rather, we are assessing overall positioning and presentation of your course content.

All courses must adhere to our general terms, privacy policy, and instructor agreement.

✅ Passes

❌ Fails

All sections of the landing page are completed with fidelity

Templated or boilerplate language present or blank sections

A completed, high quality syllabus

See our guide for designing a highly rated learning experience, including a syllabus that communicates the ROI of your course

Empty syllabus weeks
"Untitled lessons"
Modules with 0 items
A syllabus that generally appears too light on content for the price point of the course

High ROI course outcomes
Positioning that is appealing to our audience of professional learners

Spammy content

AI-generated text or lessons

Instructor credibility to teach the subject is clearly visible (your LinkedIn is included, your bio is complete and accurate, your headshot is professional)

Missing bio

Poor quality headshot

Once we review your page, you'll be listed on Maven.com within 1-2 business days. If you need to make any changes to your page before we can list it, we'll reach out to you directly.

Steps to have your workshop reviewed for listing on Maven.com

  1. Show traction for your workshop by getting 100 leads on your interest list or 2 paid enrollments. To get leads on your waitlist, run a Lightning Lesson or launch a lead magnet. Anyone who signs up for either the Lightning Lesson or lead magnet is also added to your interest list.

  2. Publish your workshop landing page. Once your workshop landing page is published, the URL is live and you can share it with prospective students. You do not have to wait to get listed on Maven.com to start raising awareness for your workshop.

  3. Open your workshop for enrollment in Settings. Your workshop needs to be open for enrollment to be listed on Maven.com.

  4. Upload your workshop images.

    1. Social share image. The social share image is the preview image when you share your workshop on social media, and the image is used for your end-of-workshop certificate. Add this to the marketing section in your workshop settings.

    2. Your headshot. This is key for building trust and credibility with students.

The Maven team will automatically review your workshop landing page — you do not need to reach out to us to request this review. We'll be looking at your page's quality, including having all sections of the landing page completed. Once we review your page, you'll be listed on Maven.com within 1-2 business days. If any changes need to be made to your page before we can list it, we'll reach out to you directly.

What happens after I publish my course or workshop landing page?

After you publish your landing pages, you share the course URL directly with prospective students. Make your announcement publicly (on socials/newsletters/communities) and to your interest list on Maven!

Grab the URL from your course or workshop settings pages:

Notes:

  1. Once listed, your course and workshop will be discoverable on the Maven Marketplace through topic categories or search. Your course or workshop URL is always directly accessible once you publish your landing pages, even before maven.com listing. Being listed on maven.com is not the same as a feature in Maven emails or on social media.

  2. Maven's policies against plagiarism can be read in full here. If your course or workshop copies another courses' landing page language, syllabus content, or any other intellectual property of another instructor, it will be unpublished and remain unlisted on Maven.com.

Please reach out to [email protected] if you have additional questions about being listed on Maven.com.
