This is the smart approach. Since you are building this yourself on Podia, you want a “Low Maintenance, High Automation” structure. You don’t want to be constantly tweaking pages.
Here is the visual flow chart you asked for, followed by the specific page instructions.
The “Self-Serve” MBSR Site Flow

1. The Landing Page (Your “Home” Page)
On Podia, your Home Page serves two purposes: Welcome and Sell. You do not need a separate complex sales page.
Structure this page using these Podia “Sections”:
-
Section 1: The Hero (Top Banner)
-
Headline: Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
-
Sub-headline: Your path to calm, clarity, and emotional resilience begins here.
-
Button 1: “Get the Course ($137)”
-
Button 2: “Try a Free Practice” (Links to your Lead Magnet)
-
-
Section 2: The “Pain” (Text Block)
-
Use the “Automatic Pilot” copy here. “Are you rushing through life? Do you drive places and forget how you got there?” (Agitate the problem).
-
-
Section 3: The Solution (Grid or Columns)
-
Title: Why MBSR Works
-
Content: Bullet points about reducing anxiety, better sleep, and emotional balance.
-
-
Section 4: About the Teacher (Image + Text)
-
Photo: A friendly photo of you.
-
Text: The “About Me” copy we wrote (“I am 76… I don’t offer gurus, I offer experience…”).
-
-
Section 5: Social Proof (Testimonials)
-
Use the quotes from “Sarah” and “James” we created.
-
-
Section 6: The Offer (Product Grid)
-
Podia automatically pulls this in. It will show your Full Course ($137) and your Sleep Kit ($27).
-
-
Section 7: FAQ (Accordion)
-
Is this live? (No, self-paced).
-
Do I need experience? (No).
-
Refund policy? (30 days).
-
2. The Lead Magnet Content Pages
You need one dedicated page for your freebie. In Podia, the best way to do this is to create a “Digital Download” product and set the price to $0.00.
Why do it this way? When they “buy” the free product, Podia automatically captures their email and sends them the file. You don’t have to do anything.
Content for the “Free 90-Second Scan” Page:
-
Title: A Short Body Scan of Belonging (Free Download)
-
Text: “You don’t need an hour to find peace. You just need 90 seconds. Download this free audio guide to reset your nervous system right now.”
-
Button: “Get it for Free”
-
What they get: The MP3 file (you recorded) + The PDF script.
3. How Many Pages is Wise?
For a senior-friendly, low-maintenance site, Less is More. You want to avoid “Click Fatigue.”
Recommended Site Map (5 Pages Total):
-
Home / Sales Page: (The main hub where 90% of people land).
-
About Me: (The full story, if they want to read more than what is on the home page).
-
Free Resources: (A library page listing your “Raisin” script, “90-sec Scan,” and “Breathing Space”).
-
Course Dashboard: (Podia creates this automatically for students).
-
Legal / Terms: (Privacy policy—essential for protecting yourself).
Do NOT create:
-
A “Blog” (Unless you love writing weekly. It is too much work).
-
A “Contact” page (Since you want to avoid emails, do not have a dedicated contact form. Put your support email in the footer only for billing issues).
Action Plan for You:
-
Log into Podia.
-
Create a Product called “Free 90-Second Body Scan” and set price to $0. Upload your audio.
-
Create a Product called “8-Week MBSR Training” and set price to $137. (You can upload the modules later).
-
Go to “Site Editor” and build that Home Page using the 7 sections listed above.
Would you like me to write the text for the “Legal / Terms” page (a simple disclaimer stating you are an educator, not a doctor)?
