Your Selgora Dictionary 📖
Ever felt lost when someone throws around platform terms? We've all been there! This is your friendly guide to Selgora-speak. Bookmark this page - you'll probably come back to it a lot in your first few weeks (and that's totally normal!).
Core Concepts (The Big Ideas)
🎁 Offer
What it is: A package deal you create for your customers. Think of it like a gift basket - you can put different things inside (courses, AI access, event tickets) and sell it as one thing.
Example: "My Photography Masterclass" offer includes: 3 courses + AI photo critique bot + monthly live Q&A sessions, all for $197.
🔐 Invisible Paywall
What it is: The magic that happens when someone buys your offer - they instantly get access to everything included, without you lifting a finger.
Why it's cool: No more "I paid but can't access the content" emails at 2 AM!
🏢 Tenant
What it is: Your own private space on Selgora. It's like having your own store in a mall - completely separate from other creators.
Translation: Your business account where all your content, customers, and data live.
👥 Members
What it is: People who've bought something from you. They're not just customers - they're part of your community!
Note: Different from "users" (that's you and your team).
Content Terms (Your Digital Stuff)
📚 Product (Course)
What it is: A complete course or digital product. The main thing you're teaching.
Think of it as: A book (the whole thing)
Example: "30-Day Yoga Challenge" or "Master Excel in a Weekend"
📂 Module
What it is: A chapter or section within your course. Groups related lessons together.
Think of it as: Chapters in your book
Example: "Week 1: Foundation Poses" in your yoga course
📄 Lesson
What it is: Individual pieces of content within a module. Where the actual teaching happens.
Think of it as: Pages in a chapter
Example: "Day 3: Mastering the Downward Dog" (video + worksheet)
💧 Drip Content
What it is: Releasing lessons over time instead of all at once. Like a Netflix series!
Why use it: Keeps students engaged and prevents overwhelm. Plus, creates anticipation!
Example: New module unlocks every Monday for 4 weeks
🤖 AI Assistant
What it is: Your own custom ChatGPT that knows all about your content and can help your members 24/7.
Cool factor: It's like cloning yourself, but the clone never needs coffee!
🎯 Landing Page
What it is: A focused sales page for your offer. No distractions, just pure "here's why you need this."
Purpose: Convert visitors into buyers (that's the only job it has!)
Money Terms (Show Me the Money! 💰)
💳 Stripe Connect
What it is: The payment system that handles all the money stuff. Think of Stripe as your accountant robot.
Important: Money goes directly to YOUR bank account, not through Selgora first.
📊 Platform Fee
What it is: Selgora's cut - 10% of your sales.
The math: Sell for $100 → You get $90, Selgora gets $10
Why it's fair: No monthly fees, hosting included, all features unlocked!
🔄 Subscription
What it is: Recurring payments (monthly/yearly). The holy grail of predictable income!
Example: $47/month for ongoing access to your content library
🎁 Order Bump
What it is: A "would you like fries with that?" offer at checkout.
Example: "Add my Templates Pack for just $27 more!" (one checkbox, instant upsell)
⬆️ Upsell / ⬇️ Downsell
Upsell: After purchase, offer something bigger: "Upgrade to VIP for $97 more!"
Downsell: If they say no to the upsell: "How about just the bonus videos for $27?"
Technical Terms (The Nerdy Stuff 🤓)
🔗 Webhook
What it is: How Selgora talks to other apps automatically. Like a messenger that delivers updates.
Example: When someone buys, webhook tells your email system to add them to your list.
🌐 Custom Domain
What it is: Using your own website address instead of yourname.selgora.com
Example: courses.yourbrand.com instead of yourbrand.selgora.com
🚀 Cloudflare Pages
What it is: Where your landing pages live. Super fast, globally distributed.
Why you care: Your pages load lightning fast for everyone, everywhere!
🏷️ Tags
What it is: Labels you put on contacts to organize and segment them.
Example: Tag someone as "webinar-attended" or "vip-customer"
📊 Segment
What it is: A group of contacts that meet certain criteria.
Example: "Everyone who bought in the last 30 days" or "People who opened my last 3 emails"
🔄 Flow/Automation
What it is: A series of automatic actions triggered by events. Set it and forget it!
Example: Someone signs up → Wait 1 day → Send welcome email → Wait 3 days → Send first lesson
💡 Pro Tip
Don't try to memorize all of this! Just come back when you see a term you don't recognize. After a couple of weeks, you'll be throwing these terms around like a pro!
