IDEA FOR MARKETERS

A customer academy from your product tutorials

You already have product tutorials and webinar recordings on YouTube. Customers rarely watch them start to finish, so they miss the features that make them stick around.

This workflow turns those videos into short, interactive courses: one per job your customer needs to get done, with quizzes based on real use cases.

Uses the free YouTube to Course skill · No coding needed

What you'll end up with

  • A course per topic, such as getting started, advanced features, or best practices
  • Scenario quizzes based on real customer situations
  • A shareable file for your help center, emails, or community
  • A simple academy page linking all your courses

How to do it

  1. 1

    Group your videos by goal

    For example: set up, first win, power features. Each group becomes one course.

  2. 2

    Generate each course

    Paste the links and say who the customer is and what they want to achieve.

  3. 3

    Host the files

    Upload them to your help center or website so customers can open them in a browser.

  4. 4

    Send them at the right moment

    Link the getting-started course in your welcome email and the advanced one after week two.

Copy-paste prompts

Turn these tutorials into a getting-started course for new customers: [link] [link]
Make the quizzes about real situations a marketing manager using our product would face.
Add a final checklist of the 5 things a customer should set up in week one.

Replace [link] with your YouTube URL.

Tips

  • Lead each course with the outcome ("send your first campaign"), not the feature.
  • Add a chat page per webinar for customers who want quick answers.
  • Rebuild a course whenever the tutorial video changes.

Time and cost

About 20 minutes per course.

FAQ

No. Each course is one HTML file, so any website or help center can host it.
