# Include a course in your membership

> Make a course free for your subscribers, or available only to them, as a perk of your membership.

Your paying members get the course at no extra cost. You choose whether non-members can still buy it.

## When to use this

- Your course is a reason to join your membership.
- You want to reward existing subscribers.
- You want a members-only library of courses.

## Choose your setup

| If you want…                                  | Visibility | Prices                                        |
| --------------------------------------------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Members get it free, everyone else can buy it | Public     | Regular Price e.g. $99, Subscriber Price $0 |
| Members get it free, nobody else can get it   | Private    | Regular Price $0                             |
| Members only, at a member price               | Private    | Regular Price set to the member price         |

## Steps

**Step 1: Open the course**

Go to [Offerings → Courses](https://portal.bringsoul.life/courses) and open the course.

**Step 2: Set the visibility**

Click ⋯ → Edit details. Under Visibility, choose Public or Private from the table above. Click Save Changes.

**Step 3: Set the prices**

On the Course details tab, under Course settings, click Edit next to Price.

- Public, free for members: set the Regular Price, then click Add subscriber price and enter `0`.
- Private: set the Regular Price to `0` (free for members) or to the member price.

Click Save Changes.

**Step 4: Publish and tell your members**

Click Publish course if needed, and publish the lessons. Then post an [announcement](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/audience/announcements) so members know it's waiting for them.

## Good to know

- Members still click Enroll. Being a subscriber doesn't enroll anyone automatically. They open the course and enroll, at no charge.
- Private means active subscribers. If someone's membership has lapsed, they can't enroll in a private course until they subscribe again.
- Enrollment stays. Members who enrolled keep the course even if they later cancel their membership.
- Non-members on a private course see _"This course is exclusive to subscribers."_ and a Subscribe to Enroll button that leads to your membership. People who aren't signed in see _"This is an exclusive course for subscribers only."_ and Subscribe & Sign Up.

**Warning:** 
On a Public course, a subscriber price only helps members if you add one. With just a regular
price, members pay the same as everyone else.

## What your members see

Subscribers see their own price (or free) and an Enroll button. Non-members see the regular price on a public course, or the subscribers-only message on a private one.
