You have meticulously crafted valuable content for your online course or membership site within Lead Monsta, and it's now ready to be shared with your Australian audience. This is a brilliant strategic move to leverage your expertise. But now you face the next exciting and crucial question: how do you effectively package this content, set the right price, and make it incredibly simple for people to purchase?

The critical step that bridges the gap between your finished content and your first member enrollment is the creation of compelling "Offers." An offer is the commercial wrapper for your intellectual property.

This is where Lead Monsta's "Offers" system, found within the Memberships section, comes into play. It is the specific tool you will use to define exactly how your "Products" (your courses and membership content) are sold. This includes setting the price, defining the payment terms (such as a one-time fee or a recurring subscription), and specifying precisely what content a member gains access to upon purchase.

The goal of this article is to guide Australian SMEs and course creators on how to strategically design, price, and set up their membership and course Offers in Lead Monsta. We will cover how to connect them to your payment gateway and prepare them for sale through your funnels, websites, and marketing campaigns.

Understanding "Products" vs. "Offers" in Lead Monsta Memberships

Before diving into the setup, it's essential to understand the distinction between "Products" and "Offers" in Lead Monsta. This separation is an intelligent design that provides immense flexibility.

• A Product is the Content Itself: Think of your "Product" as the actual collection of content you have built. It is your course with all its modules and lessons, or your library of exclusive membership resources. It is the inherent value that you have created.

• An Offer is How You Sell Access to the Content: An "Offer" is the commercial agreement. It defines the price and payment terms (e.g., a one-time payment or a monthly subscription) and dictates which Product or Products a member gains access to when they purchase that specific Offer.

A simple analogy helps to clarify this: Your course content (the Product) is the book. The "Offer" is the price tag in the bookstore that says, "Buy this book now for $49," or perhaps, "Subscribe for $29/month to access our entire library, including this book."

This smart distinction means you can have multiple Offers for a single Product. For example, you could have a standard price offer, a special limited-time discount offer, or a payment plan offer, all granting access to the same course content. You can also create a single Offer that bundles multiple Products together, providing a powerful way to bundle digital products and increase the average transaction value.

Strategic Considerations for Pricing Your Aussie Membership/Course Offers

Setting the right price is a critical strategic decision. When considering GHL course pricing Australia based businesses should look beyond just picking a number.

Value-Based Pricing

Focus on the transformation or the results your course or membership provides to your clients, not just the number of videos or PDFs it contains. What tangible outcomes can your Australian students or members expect to achieve? A higher price can often be justified if the perceived value and the promised outcome are significant.

Researching the Australian Market

Investigate what comparable courses or memberships are charging within your niche in the Australian market. This does not mean you have to match their prices, but it provides a valuable benchmark. Consider your target audience's willingness and ability to pay.

Cost of Creation & Ongoing Management

Be realistic about the costs involved. Factor in the value of your time spent creating the content, any software or equipment costs, and any ongoing advertising or management expenses required to maintain the offering.

Pricing Models for Your Offers

Lead Monsta's Offers system, integrated with Stripe, allows for several smart pricing models:

• One-Time Payment: This is ideal for standalone courses, digital products, or lifetime access to a resource library. It is simple for customers to understand and is a straightforward transaction.

• Recurring Subscription (Monthly/Annually): This is the foundation of a true membership model and is perfect for generating predictable, recurring revenue Lead Monsta can help manage. It's suited for offerings that provide ongoing value, such as regularly updated content, community access, or continuous support.

• Payment Plans: A payment plan breaks down a higher one-time price into several smaller instalments (e.g., three payments of $197 AUD). This makes higher-ticket courses and programmes more accessible to a wider audience, reducing the barrier to entry.

• Free Offers (Lead Magnets): You can create an Offer with a price of $0. This is a powerful strategy for granting free access to a mini-course, a single module, or an introductory resource library, allowing you to capture leads and demonstrate your value.

Tiered Access

You can create different membership tiers Lead Monsta can manage by creating multiple Offers that grant access to different combinations of Products. For example:

• Silver Tier (Offer 1): Access to your foundational course (Product A).

• Gold Tier (Offer 2): Access to your foundational course (Product A) PLUS your resource library (Product B).

• Platinum Tier (Offer 3): Access to both Products A and B, PLUS a monthly group coaching call (managed via a separate Calendar).

Creating an "Offer" in Lead Monsta Memberships: A Step-by-Step Guide

Here is the practical process for setting up your Offers within Lead Monsta.

Navigating to "Offers" within the Memberships Section

Within your Lead Monsta dashboard, navigate to the "Memberships" section, and then find the "Offers" tab. This is your command centre for all commercial packaging.

Clicking "Create Offer"

1. Offer Title: Give your offer a clear and descriptive name that will be visible to customers. Examples: "Ultimate SEO Course - Lifetime Access," "Monthly Marketing Mastermind Subscription," "Beginner's Guide - Free Access Offer."

2. Internal Nickname (Optional): You can give the offer a different internal name for your own organisational purposes.

3. Offer Description: Write a brief description of what is included in this specific offer. This text may appear on the checkout page to reinforce the value proposition.

Selecting the Product(s) to Include

This is where you link your commercial offer to your content. You will see a list of the Membership "Products" you have already created. Select the checkbox next to the Product or Products that a customer will gain access to when they purchase this specific Offer.

Setting the Price & Payment Type

This is the core of your Lead Monsta membership offers setup.

• Choose the "Payment Type": One-Time Payment or Subscription.

• If One-Time: Simply enter the price amount in the field provided. Ensure the currency is set to AUD for your Australian customers.

• If Subscription: This is where the Stripe integration course sales functionality is critical. Instead of setting the frequency in Lead Monsta, you will select the corresponding recurring "Plan" or "Price ID" that you have already set up in your connected Stripe account. This plan in Stripe contains all the recurring logic (e.g., $47 per month, billed on the 1st).

Customising the Checkout Page for the Offer

Lead Monsta allows you to customise the checkout page for each specific Offer to create a professional and branded experience. You can often:

• Upload a banner image or a short video that is relevant to the offer.

• Edit the title and description that appear at the top of the checkout page.

• Include a service agreement or terms and conditions.

• Choose to request additional contact information, like a billing address or phone number, if it's required.

Publishing the Offer and Getting the Link

Once you are happy with your setup, you will publish the Offer to make it "Live." After publishing, Lead Monsta provides a unique checkout URL for that specific Offer. This link is the key – it is the direct link to the purchase page for this offer that you will use in your funnels, on your website, and in your marketing campaigns.

Integrating Offers with Your Sales Channels in Lead Monsta

Once you have the unique Offer link, you can start selling.

Linking Offers to Buttons in Funnels

On your sales page within a Lead Monsta Funnel, your "Buy Now," "Enrol Today," or "Join Now" button should be configured to link directly to the checkout URL of the relevant Lead Monsta Offer.

Adding Offers to Your Lead Monsta Website

You can create a "Courses" or "Join Our Membership" page on your Lead Monsta Website. On this page, you can list your different offerings, and the "Learn More" or "Sign Up" button for each one should link to its respective Offer checkout page.

Using Offer Links in Email & SMS Campaigns

You can promote new courses or special limited-time offers to your segmented email and SMS lists. Simply include the direct Offer link in your campaign to send your audience straight to the checkout page.

Paid Appointments Leading to Membership Access

You can create a smart, automated pathway. For example, a client pays for a one-on-one "Strategy Session" via a paid Calendar booking. You can then create a Workflow that is triggered by this purchase, which automatically grants them free access to an introductory membership "Product" as a value-add.

Managing Payments & Access (The Integrated and Intelligent Flow)

The seamless automation that occurs after a purchase is a major benefit of using an integrated system to sell online courses SME style.

1. A customer clicks your Offer link and lands on the secure checkout page.

2. They enter their details and complete the purchase via the integrated Stripe payment gateway.

3. The payment is processed securely by Stripe.

4. Lead Monsta is instantly notified of the successful payment. It automatically creates a member account for the new customer (or links the purchase to their existing contact record in your CRM).

5. Lead Monsta then automatically grants that member access to the specific Product(s) that were included in the Offer they purchased.

6. Simultaneously, this event can trigger an automated welcome and onboarding workflow.

This entire process happens automatically, saving you significant manual work and providing instant gratification for your new member. This is particularly valuable for a busy Elanora business owner who could be making sales and onboarding new members on a Saturday afternoon without being near their computer.

Strategies for Structuring Your Aussie Membership/Course Offers

Get creative with how you package your value.

• The "Free Taster" or "Tripwire" Offer: 

Create a free Offer for a mini-course or the first module of your main course. Use this as a powerful lead magnet to get people into your ecosystem. You can then use automation to upsell them to your core paid offers.

• Tiered Membership Levels:

Design Bronze, Silver, and Gold membership levels. Each tier is a separate Offer in Lead Monsta, with a different price point, that grants access to different combinations of your Products or levels of support.

• Bundling Multiple Courses: 

Create a special "All-Access Bundle" Offer that includes several of your related courses at a discounted price compared to buying them individually.

• Limited-Time Offers / Early Bird Pricing:

To create urgency for a new course launch, you can clone your main Offer and simply change the price to a lower "Early Bird" rate. You then promote this new Offer link for a limited time.

• Payment Plans for Higher-Ticket Courses:

To make a $997 course more accessible, create a separate Offer that links to a Stripe payment plan you have configured (e.g., 3 payments of $397 AUD).

Best Practices for Offer Creation & Pricing in Australia

• Clearly Communicate Value: Your sales page and Offer description must clearly articulate the benefits, outcomes, and transformation a member can expect to receive.

• Maintain Transparent Pricing (Including GST): Ensure your pricing is unambiguous. As per Australian business practice, it is crucial to state clearly whether your prices are inclusive of GST or if GST will be added at checkout.

• Create a Simple Checkout Process: The Offer checkout page should be clean, secure, and require the minimum number of steps necessary to complete the purchase.

• Test Your Offers Thoroughly: Before launching to the public, always use Stripe's test mode to make a test purchase of every new Offer you create. Verify that the payment process works, that access to the correct Product(s) is granted immediately, and that any post-purchase welcome emails are triggered correctly.
