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!

Still Confused About Something?

That's totally okay! The best way to learn is by doing. Start creating your first product and these terms will make more sense in context.
