Here are some tips to promote your course:
Share the news!
Use the shareable link to invite your students, family, and friends to check out your new course. The platform provides links to your content, making it easier to spread the word on social media and other platforms. Here are ways to do it:
FROM THE INSIGHT TIMER APP
When you haven't joined the course as a student:
- Find the course you would like to share
- Tap on the top right page and click the 'share' icon

If you have already started listening to the course:

HOST LIVE EVENTS
Put a face to the voice behind your course by hosting Live Events on the Insight Timer Community. Live Events are also a great way to build an engaged audience, an opportunity for you to turn event attendees into students who will benefit from your more in-depth teachings through your courses.
BUILD A TIGHT-KNIT COMMUNITY
Create an exclusive Group for your audience and share your course there. With the Group function, people who follow you can get together and find like-minded individuals. Plus, you'll get to reach them easily and directly, making it the perfect place to share your Insight Timer course.
REINFORCE YOUR EXPERTISE
Build a Portfolio
We recommend you have free tracks on the app, especially on your course's topic. It can be a great way to let users know you are an expert on the subject and hopefully, they would like to go deeper into it by listening to your course.
It is also good to recommend students listen to some of your practices as a way to integrate the teachings and skills from your course into their everyday lives.
Review Your Bio
Please make sure you have included in your teacher bio your expertise and relevant qualifications on the topics you have shared content on.
Users love to learn more about our teachers and this will help them make an informed decision on whether to take your course or not.
Please remember that your bio is written in the third person, and kept within 200-1500 characters. Do not use emojis, write in all caps, and include web links. There is a dedicated section for website links in the teacher profile:
- Log in to your Teacher Dashboard
- Click on the 'Publisher Profile' tab on the left menu
- Scroll down to 'Social Information' and update your bio and website link
Finally, please remember to check your course's classroom often to support those students who may have questions for you.
