Intelligent Marketing Features That Allow You to Sell MORE with Ease

Creating a course is a lot of work, but it’s only just the beginning…

Once you have your course filmed and your course environment up and running, you have to learn how to sell as many copies as possible…

No worries, Thrive Apprentice has got you covered!

The Most Flexible Drip Functionality Available for WordPress

Most plugins will promise you drip, but none are as flexible as Thrive Apprentice!

evergreen repeating

Unlock content at consistent intervals for each student. This is ideal for courses that are always open for purchase.

Eg. Unlock a new lesson every week on Monday when someone purchases a course.

scheduled repeating

Unlock content at consistent intervals for each student. This is ideal for courses that are always open for purchase.

Eg. Unlock a new lesson every week on Monday when someone purchases a course.

day of the week or month

Unlock content on a specific weekday or day of the month. Ideal for recurring memberships.

Eg. Unlock a new module every first Monday of the month.

Drip on Specific Dates

Unlock content on specific calendar dates that you can customize. Ideal for cohort learning courses with irregular schedules.

Eg. Unlock a new lesson on the 10th, 17th and 24th of July then skip 1 week for implementation then continue on the 7th of August.

Thrive Automator Unlock

Use custom event triggers and third party integrations to unlock content. Ideal for course creators who use a diverse stack of tools.

Eg. When a tag gets added and a webhook is received from an email marketing service, unlock a new lesson.

Thrive Quiz Builder Unlock

Unlock a lesson based on the results of a quiz in Thrive Quiz Builder. Ideal if you want to make sure students understand the content before continuing the course.

Eg. Only unlock the next module if your students get an 80% or higher on a quiz.

As you can see, the above options already allow for advanced drip schedules, but there's more...


You can mix and match these options.


For example, you can unlock the next module after 1 week, BUT ONLY IF the student had a specific result on your quiz. OR you can immediately unlock the next lesson when a custom event trigger comes in from Thrive Automator. OR you can unlock the next lesson on a given date or day of the week (Eg. the next Monday).

What’s unique to the Thrive Apprentice Drip feature is not just its flexibility, but the fact that you can create multiple drip schedules for the same content. This is what we call Decoupled Drip.

Other course plugins force you to duplicate your entire course if you want to sell it to a new cohort of students. Not Thrive Apprentice! 

With Decoupled Drip, you can market like a BIG BRAND without creating a frankenstein of duplicated courses, making it impossible to keep them all up to date.

I was expecting a well done drip function, but the idea to tie drip to a product is ingenious and unique!

Wooohoo! Congratulations, this takes Thrive Apprentice to a whole new level. I was expecting a well done drip function, but now you've come up with this mega package of features and I must admit the long wait was worth it in the end.

The idea to tie the drip to the product and not to the course is simply ingenious and unique.
And a special thank you for the possibility to protect other content with rules.

Please keep up the good work!

Personalize Every Visitor’s Experience on Your Website With Conditional Display

It’s hard to summarize how powerful conditional display actually is in just a few sentences…

 ... but let's try anyway. Imagine you can show different content on the same page based on a visitor’s status as either a non-logged-in visitor, a logged-in subscriber or a paying customer.

This power opens the door for deploying business boosting strategies like:

Different course overview pages for Visitors and Students.

Create a course overview page with and without "Buy Now" call to action buttons.

Learn more about conditional display

A different pricing table for customers and
non-customers.

Visitors and leads would see the “buy now” button but paying students would get a distraction free experience.

A personalized account page showing the products someone has access to alongside special offers.

The people most likely to buy from you are your current customers!

Get More Sales With Dynamic Labels and Links

Imagine you have multiple courses available for visitors to buy. Thrive Apprentice gives you the power to show Dynamic Labels on each of those courses based on EACH visitor’s course status.

Already a customer? Let visitors know clicking will send them to their most recent lesson.

Not a customer? Dynamic Labels can show which courses visitors haven't purchased yet. And should non-customers try to open a premium course, you can send them to its sales page instead!

Beyond Online Courses…

Thrive Apprentice is A Full-Blown Membership Plugin

Thrive Apprentice makes it super easy to sell your online courses, but what about building a membership?


How about instead of getting access to just courses, customers get access to members-only blog posts and pages too? Can Thrive Apprentice do that?

 

YES IT CAN!

Give Your Customers the Best Possible User Experience

One of the biggest concerns for course creators selling on WordPress is that it can feel very clunky for the student.

 Login screens look ugly, students end up lost in the back-end of the WordPress dashboard and restricted content looks archaic when a student stumbles upon it without being logged-in.

Not when taking a course built with Thrive Apprentice! A lot of thought and effort went into making sure you can create the best possible user experience for your students.

Because HAPPY students = LESS support requests and MORE repeat sales.

Beautiful Login and Registration Flows

Say goodbye to those ugly Login & Registration pages the other WordPress LMS plugins force you to use...

Translation Ready

Your lessons aren't in English? No problem.

Thrive Apprentice gives you the power to create courses in any language you require!

Custom Header Content

With Thrive Apprentice you can show and hide header menu items based on the login status of the student. 

This makes it easy to add a login link for non-logged in students, which changes into a logout link when students are logged in.

Progress Bar and Lesson Complete Indicators

To help students navigate your course, you can show progress bars that will dynamically update based on their course progress, as well as allow students to mark lessons as complete.

Quizzes to Improve Student Engagement Using Thrive Quiz Builder

Use the power of quizzes to engage your students. Block course progression based on quiz results, enforce quiz completion, ask multimedia questions and more...

Thrive Quiz Builder combined with Thrive Apprentice becomes the perfect solution to create an interactive student experience.
